PsychologyCompass Reviews

Ease of use. Technology support and updated frequently

Like it to be more expansive in its operations

Great app! I really liked how it showed really obviously the sources and studies used to inform the intervention. It gave me a lot more confidence in the product and the recommendations. It seemed well thought-out and well researched - it was quite nifty that it could tell without asking me that I have a hard time sleeping! The initial assessment to discover the areas I need to work on seemed pretty accurate too. I really loved how it clearly explains not only how you execute the recommendation but the WHY behind it. I also like the "small bites" delivery - I tend to wanna read ahead with things like this and then get burned out or forget everything so being forced to break it up is a good feature.

I kind of fell off the wagon right off the start as the first two "to-dos" weren't ones I could quickly and easily implement (had to go buy gum so was behind in my to-dos - it's also bad for my TMJ) so it was hard to buy into it initially. That made it harder to get back on the wagon even though I could implement its subsequent recommendations. It would have been handy to see a heads up in advance...

I love the breakdown of the science and published paper supporting the tips each week/

I don't like how there's no real incentive to open the app after you've read about the weeks' tip. Additionally I wish I was able to unlock other modules earlier.

Thanks Mitul. I will address your comments in reverse order: 1. You're definitely able to unlock/activate modules once/month. The idea behind the app is to help you incorporate new micro-habits into your days (vs. just learning the habits and not getting the chance to implement them). 2. As for the incentive there are multiple-fold: a) You're offered a daily TODO, which is a unique, context...

My team and I have been using Psychology Compass for about a year. The weekly emails and modules on the app have tremendously improved our team's cognitive performance in stressful conditions. I have witnessed a reduction of stress and a much better concentration on daily tasks. I personally noticed a difference in my own brain functioning and the capacity to learn new information and retaining it.

Integration with other apps like google calendar or other apps to track employee's progress

I really enjoyed learning how the human brain works. Knowing the underlying mechanics helps me understand what is happening and how I can resolve anything towards the goals I have. PsychologyCompass does an excellent job of simplifying the information and then providing me with actionable tasks to get to my goals. I really enjoy getting the emails in my inbox and knowing I have the portal to go to and the app.

The hardest part is integrating it into a busy life but that's all a matter of planning and practice, something PsychologyCompass helps with too. The app I had some issues with early on but that's normal for a new app.

This app is stellar! PsychologyCompass does an amazing job at pulling together a ton of separate tidbits of super useful information on how to improve your cognitive skills. Knowledge is broken down into tiny nuggets which makes it super easy to learn and practice. The app offers useful notifications and reminders which I found super valuable to make the knowledge actionable. Definitely integrates some of the best practices around learning and habits formation I've seen around. Another thing that I loved was the initial assessment that allowed me to focus on improving the areas I was mostly interested in. Definitely a must have for today's knowledge worker!

Really hard to find cons. The app is in active development and things change weekly pretty significantly. Team is also super responsive: integrated all the feedback I gave them!

Providing an app that does an initial assessment then allows you to work on identified gaps is like having a personal life coach working with you at your own pace. Identifying doable weekly tasks and daily small steps that are easily achievable is an excellent way to get persons committed to sticking with the change process.

It is still early days, but so far no major dislikes. I have been annoyed that the app doesn’t work in landscape mode, since I interact with it on a tablet and not on a phone. But that’s a relatively minor inconvenience.

I use this incredible app every week, usually multiple times a week. It’s easy to navigate and is excellent for the newest practical techniques. Modules are short, effective, and really easy to keep up with.

Missing Audio feature. I would be able to use it more frequently listening to audio while driving or workingout. It's a phenomenal software regardless.

The software is self-service and self-paced. It is personalized to my needs.

There could be more content. Some team based report for folks on my team would be great.

The best thing about PsychologyCompass is the content that they have. When they say the are backed by decades of research it reflects in the way each module is designed. It's very easy to follow and you can observe behavioral changes within a couple of weeks. The modules and habit tasks are fun and don't feel like burden. You actually enjoy them.

Nothing that I have experienced so far can be considered a con!

Using the PsychologyCompass app has really helped me improve my leadership skills. I find I am a much more effective leader and can lead my team much more efficiently. I also really enjoy the video tutorials, I find them to be very cohesive, well researched and helpful.

I wish more modules had video components.

after using thee app over several months, I love the ease of use, the sleek design, and bite size lessons. I really enjoy the short videos that comes with each lesson, the underline signs and how easy it is to incorporate into your daily life. The daily nudges have really helped me to sty on track.

I can't really think of any cons because the product has been improving regularly and I am constantly surprised with new and exciting features

Ease of use, bite-sized advice, and the fact that a lot of research is provided.

A habit tracker would be helpful. Sometimes I feel like I want to learn more but I can't because of the weekly lesson/module limits.
