The Tapping Solution
doubtful ratingEFT tapping truly finds devoted followers, especially among those for whom ordinary meditation doesn't work due to ADHD or trauma: the physical action holds attention. The session library is broad and topics are varied. However, after each session the app asks you to rate your stress level right on screen, which breaks the falling-asleep state.
Text average (4.06) is notably lower than the store average (4.81) with 89% five-stars. One-star reviews are very specific on substance: dark UX patterns, sleep practice interrupted by stress-rating prompts, difficult subscription cancellation. An organic 4.81 doesn't fit this picture.
What users love
- The physical tapping technique is accessible to people who can't just 'follow their breath.' Programs for specific situations: pain
- PTSD
- Pre-sleep anxiety.
What users hate
- The mandatory stress-rating pause mid-session breaks practice. The instructor tone sometimes sounds like pastoral exhortation
- Which puts off part of the audience.
Who it is for
People with anxiety and PTSD who need a body-oriented practice when classic breath-observation meditation doesn't work.
