Anxiety Coach	https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/anxietycoach/id565943257?mt=8	Comprehensive self-help program for reducing a variety of anxiety symptoms in youth and adults. Anxiety Coach has a primary focus on creating a fear hierarchy and conducting exposure tasks, but the app also includes an assessment module and a psychoeducation module.	The app has a clear focus on exposure tasks. Anxiety Coach clearly informs users that exposure tasks are an integral part of successful anxiety treatment and assists with creating and implementing an exposure hierarchy. Includes a useful monitoring system for monitoring SUDS ratings during exposures, as well as an assessment module allowing users to monitor anxiety symptoms over time. Overall, the user interface is quite intuitive and easy to use.	There is no clinician web-portal, which may make it difficult or awkward to use Anxiety Coach during session or to monitor the completion of exposure tasks between sessions. There are also a few minor technical glitches with the app, but these should be resolved with a future release.	Anxiety Coach represents a much-needed addition to the m-health toolbox. The app’s focus on exposure tasks reflects our current understanding of mechanisms of change in CBT for the anxiety disorders. The app includes a vast database of potential exposure tasks that are relevant to a broad range of ages. However, until additional research demonstrates the efficacy of Anxiety Coach as a standalone treatment, clinicians should be wary of recommending Anxiety Coach in lieu of face-to-face CBT treatment.
