3. Pacifica
Ranking #3 in our calming mobile apps is Pacifica – Stress & Anxiety.
This app promises to help its users fight stress, anxiety, and depression. To do so, Pacifica works with psychologists-designed tools based on cognitive behavioral therapy. By using tools such as the Habit Tracking, Pacifica aims to break negative cycles that foster anxiety and depression.
