| Most useful modules or features | ‘I found the relax one most helpful. I just really enjoy the guided meditation aspect, the main thing that draws me to these apps. Lovely app, will definitely use again’ (Participant 346) ‘I found the ‘be thankful’ module the most helpful. I liked this one as it made me stop and consciously focus on the positive aspects of my life’ (Participant 327) ‘This is a well-thought out app and will go on to help many individuals like myself. I feel like I should make a special mention of the karanga at the beginning of the app when I first opened and downloaded it. As a young Māori woman, being called into the app and have it welcome all my problems and grief instantly sparked a spiritual connection for me and I instantly felt at ease and felt safe enough to embark on my healing and well-being journey. I also enjoyed the constant use of Te Reo Māori and the progress of watching my Puriri tree grow throughout the 4 weeks. It was a pleasant surprise and so culturally inclusive. The voice overs were pleasant to listen to, the videos, sounds and effects captivating. The best app after what was such a rollercoaster year! Thank you!’ (Participant 376) |
| Suggestions for improvement | ‘Make the videos shorter somehow, I think young people nowadays have short attention spans… including me’ (Participant 308) ‘I did find it was sometimes tricky to find the follow-up activities I was supposed to do—these could be better signposted/reminders could link to them directly’ (Participant 354) ‘The daily reminder is good, but often came at a time when I was busy! Maybe a second reminder or setup as part of a daily routine’ (Participant 333) |
| Technical difficulties | ‘On old phone, when completing modules there was graphical glitching (buttons and images being in the wrong place, the background video overlay being stuck in place between menus). There was also some issues with the video. Sometimes it just wouldn’t play until I restarted the app’ (Participant 335) ‘Now that I check the app it has logged my progress with Module 2 but I did not find that right after I had completed it’ (Participant 337) |
