Tap Away
How does the journaling feature in Tap Away work, and what can I track with it?
Before and after each tapping session, you rate your emotion on a scale, and the app stores this data so you can look back at patterns over time. It helps you notice mood shifts, like anxiety dropping from a 7 to a 4 after a session, but you cannot export your journal data, so it's lost if you switch phones.
Can I create my own custom tapping scripts in Tap Away?
Yes, there is a custom script option where you type your own problem, like 'freaking out about rent,' and the app generates a tapping sequence for it. The voice can feel a bit robotic, but it works okay for personalized issues.
Why does Tap Away drain my phone battery so quickly during sessions?
Many users report that longer sessions can drain battery significantly—for example, about 15% in 20 minutes on a Samsung Galaxy A54. To reduce drain, try lowering your screen brightness or closing other apps before starting a session.
I keep getting tapping reminders at random times instead of my set time. How can I fix this?
This is a known bug where reminders sometimes pop up at random times, like 3 PM instead of your scheduled 8 PM. To fix it, try deleting and recreating the reminder in the app's settings, or check if your phone's notification permissions are interfering.
How does Tap Away compare to free tapping scripts on YouTube?
Tap Away offers a structured experience with guided sessions, a journal to track mood shifts, and a progress tracker, which YouTube videos lack. However, after about 10 free sessions, the app locks most content behind a $9.99 monthly subscription, while YouTube provides unlimited free tapping scripts—though without the personalized tracking.
