Clicking on the “Feel better. Fast”, “Science-based”, or “Free & easy to use” link to a ”/undefined” page, which leads to a 404 error.
The “Science” link the navigation bar scrolls down to “See how you’re doing, develop over time”, which isn’t really about science.
Overall, claiming being “scientifically proven” without references to actual studies and the use of first name–only testimonials pattern-matches to the sample pseudoscientific websites that my Psych 101 textbook presents. If I had not read this post, I would be quite hesitant to try out the app. I think it would be helpful to have a page about the scientific support for meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, etc., and Mind Ease itself as you did here. It might be difficult to have quotes that are less anonymous (e.g., by providing their full name, photo, and occupation), given the stigma surrounding anxiety, but if it’s feasible, I think it would increase the credibility.
Just a few comments on the website:
