My 6 year-old struggles with ADD and dysregulation regularly, more and more, it seems and when I discovered Mightier last November, it finally provided him with a place to have his own personal challenges, struggles, and WINS - without being confronted by his parents, therapists, or teachers. I could tell that the privacy and also the engagement of the games and breathing exercises were having a huge impact on his ability to regulate his emotions, take time out, take deep breaths. He even started subconsciously doing some of this BEFORE Gizmo popped up to teach calming exercises! The beauty of Mightier, is that it meets the children where they are at: the world has screens, everyone uses them, kids are no different. Mightier also plants a seed in them, that grows into a social skillset the children foster in other aspects of their lives. I've seen my own kid use the techniques outside of, and after playing the games, so Mightier's "therapy" aspect is a big deal in that it continues AFTER the "session" - like most successful programs!

Be aware, they will make charges to your account without previous notice! They charge me over $300 with absolutely no previous notice! When I contacted them they said if you don't contact them by the end of the year, they will charge you for the full amount, like purchasing another year, bear in mind I didn't subscribed to anything, it was clearly a one time purchase and their policy is: if you don't tell us you don't want to purchase again, we assume you want it. They never gave me my money back, I feel scammed.

My daughter did well in using the tablet and games. She would choose it when she needed alone time and the feeling of calm. The would even replace her fun games with 30 min on it. The Mightier product, games, and free hardware with the option to donate, have been an integral part of my daughter’s mental health stability. She uses her newly practiced tools during school and times of panic.

We tried Mightier about a year and a half ago. We had high hopes because our daughter was having a lot of emotional regulation issues. When we first got the Mightier tablet and arm band, our daughter was interested in it. However, after a few days, she got so frustrated with it that she wouldn't play it anymore. We kept on with the subscription for a couple of months because we thought maybe we just weren't giving it enough of a chance. However, the games were still too frustrating for her. She'd get upset within sixty seconds of trying a game. For a gaming system that is supposed to help kids who have issues with emotional regulation, it seems like the games should give the kids a little more time to get into them before getting so difficult, or maybe the games should be able to adjust to each child as needed. We ended up wasting over $100 on this, with no results.

The tablet is cheap and clunky and the games are extremely frustrating. Lowering your heart rate seems to have no discernible impact on the games. My two kids hated it, and Mightier was a huge pain about processing a refund.

This review is strictly for membership. While the games are great, kids loved them. They got bored and disinterested. I purchased the annual membership. After a little over 3 months, I wanted to cancel and get the remaining of my membership fee back. Apparently passed the 90 days period, they can't give a partial refund. Number one, I wasn't aware of the 90 day trial period when I signed up 3 months ago. I remember the trial period was for 30 days. Number two, what kind of company with such policy. I admit that it's my fault for assuming that the membership can be cancelled anytime with refund. But what kind of company refused to partially refund a paid membership?! A bad one. That's for sure

Return policy and guidelines were unclear. The only follow emails I recall seeing were those asking for positive reviews. If progress emails were sent (with zero data because, as other reviews have mentioned, the games we archaic and not user friendly) why would the company keep charging the recurring payments? I mean, there's a deliberate connection to the internet and usage, or lack thereof, could be seen. Tonight I discovered 3 $40 monthly recurring charges (and another about to be charged) for something that sits in a box. I question that this company has a family's well-being truly in mind.

We used mightier with our 9 year old, and it has made a big difference to self regulation. Her outbursts/meltdowns aren't as long or as intense now, as she has had practice breathing through it during play with mightier. Highly recommend this! It's bought more joy to our house!
