❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data private?
Yes! All your check-in data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or share your personal anxiety tracking information. You have complete control and can delete your data at any time. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
How often should I check in?
We recommend checking in once daily, ideally at the same time each day (like evening). This helps you build a consistent habit and provides better pattern insights. You can enable daily reminders in Settings.
Can I export my data?
Data export is planned for a future update. Currently, all your data is stored locally on your device and included in your iOS device backups.
The voice guidance isn't working. What should I do?
Try these steps:
Make sure your device isn't on silent mode (check the switch on the left side)
Turn up your volume using the volume buttons
Check that the speaker icon is enabled (not crossed out) during exercises
Restart the app and try again
Can I use this app on multiple devices?
Currently, data is stored locally on each device. iCloud sync is planned for a future update, which will allow seamless syncing across your Apple devices.
I accidentally deleted my data. Can I recover it?
The app creates automatic backups before saving data. If deletion just happened, try:
Close and reopen the app
The app may automatically restore from backup
If that doesn't work, you may be able to restore from your iOS device backup if you have one.
What are body cues?
Body cues are physical sensations that often accompany anxiety, such as:
Tight chest or shallow breathing
Racing heart or pounding
Tense muscles
Stomach unease
Restlessness or fatigue
Tracking these helps you recognize early warning signs and patterns.
Is this app a replacement for therapy?
No. Anxiety Loop is a self-help wellness tool designed to complement professional care, not replace it. If you're struggling with anxiety, please consult with a qualified mental health professional.
💡 Tips for Best Results
Be consistent: Check in daily at the same time for better pattern recognition
Be honest: Track how you actually feel, not how you think you "should" feel
Add context: Use the thoughts field to note what might have triggered your anxiety
Try exercises regularly: Even when calm, practice breathing exercises to build resilience
Review patterns weekly: Look at your trends to identify triggers and progress
Share with your therapist: Your check-in patterns can provide valuable context for therapy
🐛 Troubleshooting
App crashes or freezes
Force quit the app and restart
Update to the latest version from the App Store
Restart your device
If issue persists, contact support
Breathing animation feels off
Try pausing and restarting the exercise
The circle starts small - it will expand when you press play and "Breathe in" appears
If animations are too fast/slow, this may be a device performance issue
Notifications not working
Open iPhone Settings → Notifications → Anxiety Loop
Make sure "Allow Notifications" is enabled
Check that your reminder time is set in the app Settings
Ensure Do Not Disturb isn't blocking notifications

Your privacy is our top priority:
