Review Shimmer ADHD?

Reviewers consistently praise Shimmer for practical, human support rather than just another ADHD app. They say weekly coaching, accountability, body doubling, and tailored action steps help with productivity, routines, emotional regulation, impulsiveness, and getting unstuck, especially after a late diagnosis. Several highlight coaches as knowledgeable, encouraging, and unusually invested, while others appreciate the responsive staff, strong onboarding, and openness to feedback. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive and mention few drawbacks, so the picture is clear but narrow: users mainly value coaching quality and personalized support.

The Shimmer app is more than just education, goal setting and reminder lists – any app can do that, although Shimmer does it well. What's special about the Shimmer app is the people behind it. I have never before downloaded any app that gave me a personal experience with the people behind the app. This makes Shimmer unique! The fact that the Shimmer team is so involved makes me want to be involved too. Their passion for the mission is infectious. My personal Shimmer coach is a top-notch coach with excellent credentials who is invested in my success. Shimmer is a smart app with amazing people behind it.

I discovered Shimmer very shortly after my ADHD diagnosis last year (age 40). It was just the thing I needed to help me sort out all the stuff I was working through emotionally, and at the same time, set some attainable goals to help manage my symptoms. Finding this platform that offered a low-risk point of entry to coaching really helped me find my bearings. A late diagnosis raises a lot of questions about who you think you are, and having guidance to establish more effective routines and habits was very helpful for me. My coach (Alex) has been insightful and continually raises questions for me to reflect on. I look forward to continuing my journey with Shimmer, and being a part of their growing community.

I could not have expected I’d love Shimmer as much as I have this past year! It has required me to look thoughtfully and carefully at my life, habits, goals and dreams. I am prioritizing myself in a way I haven’t been able to manage in the prior years since becoming a mom. My coach is fantastic and someone who learns so much about me in only 15 mins per week. Her insights into adhd and my progress are invaluable! Shimmer is a great resource for me as a full time working mom.

Love it! The staff is super supportive, helpful, and open to feedback on improvements to the program. This is my first time trying coaching and I got funding from my university accommodations and the Shimmer staff were really helpful in completing some of the forms. The price point is excellent, and compared to therapy, coaching is so much more positive and provided me with actionable exercises to help me overcome my symptoms and other struggles. Would highly recommend it!

I've been through long-form adhd coaching before and I have been really in need of a coach to to help when I get stuck and keep me honest on getting tasks done. This has been an immense help. The app itself keeps getting better but they've got a solid staff that truly cares and is focused on ensuring your success. I've truly loved being able to work with Noelle on a weekly basis and the team has been great about handling any of my questions or concerns as they arise.

Hi everyone! I have been using Shimmer for a few months now and I got to say I am loving the product. I have for years struggled with ADHD and haven't really found something that really helped that is not medication. The coaching and guidance have seriously been a breakthrough for me through my struggles. I cannot thank Shimmer enough!

Absolutely amazing coaching, and my coach honestly has saved my life. She’s very knowledgeable and encourages me to do my best. I couldn’t imagine anything better. Plus the CEO’s are incredible, personable people who make me feel valued as a user of their app. Love that they ask for feedback!

That's the best onboarding questionnaire I've seen. After every question you provide and answer/comment as to why the app is going to help me.... super slick. I'm sure it boosts conversion big time. and I love your idea and biz model. Amazing.

Shimmer is the best things that’s happened to me after finding out I was ADHD (just recently diagnosed as a 41 year old). The extra accountability, the body doubling sessions, and coaching is great. 100% would recommend!

Tried Shimmer for the first 6 months and the app experience and weekly sessions with a dedicated coach have drastically improved my mental well-being, reduced my impulsiveness, and helped me control my emotional reactivity
