Our Expert Score
Tappy: Sensory Fidget & Focus is more than just a digital toy; it is a comprehensive wellness tool that understands the science of sensory stimulation. In a world of overstimulating apps, Tappy provides a sanctuary of satisfying haptics and calming audio. The tactile feedback on the iPhone is particularly impressive, using the Taptic Engine to simulate everything from bubble wrap to mechanical switches. It’s an essential app for anyone who struggles with anxiety or ADHD.
What elevates Tappy above other fidget apps is its integration of self-care features. The inclusion of guided meditations, breathing exercises, and habit tracking transforms it from a simple distraction into a daily mindfulness companion. The Apple Watch integration is a brilliant touch, allowing for discreet fidgeting during meetings or classes. The 'Arcade' mode adds a layer of gamification that keeps the experience fresh without being stressful. It’s polished, thoughtfully designed, and genuinely helpful.

I love this app
Mon Sep 26 2022 kiana lordI am autistic, and have very intense sensory issues. I have a very difficult time with change as well. I recently updated my iphone, and while I got to customize my lock screen font and all that, I lost a very important feature to me. Swiping up on the lock screen would cause a slight haptic, a blink if you will. The phone would slightly bump, and it was incredibly important to me to feel on a regular basis. I lost it. In an effort to retrieve it, I went to my local Xfinity store and after 40 minutes of attempting to retrieve this haptic, we were unsuccessful. As a last ditch effort to find something that would act as this haptic once did, the Xfinity employee went to the app store and we discovered this app. He downloaded it, and said “give this a try.” I held the phone, clicked the icon and immediately teared up. It was the exact bump I had lost, and in only two days I have tapped over six thousand times. The app is easy to use, and the icon is very cute. It would be wonderful if there were the option to have it as a widget on my home screen, but I will take what I can get. This app saved me weeks of severe discomfort, and for that I thank the creators.
I never leave reviews, but this app is a savior!!!
Thu Feb 09 2023 Joey AlpelinesWriting in your entry made me feel a lot better. I feel like I have my own online therapist but on my own time and when I’m ready to talk. I love this app so much! It has really been helping me with quitting vaping recently and hopefully some more unhealthy habits along the way! I recommend this app for anyone trying to find a new resource for their addictions or unhealthy habits. With a ONE time purchase of $2.99, you can unlock EVERY FEATURE!!! It’s rarely ever that easy! Apps asking for monthly purchases and even after you’ve paid once there is still more to unlock you would have to pay more for! This is a true mental health app for stress and anxiety sufferers at the main forefront, not the money. No payments and random offers are popping up constantly after your purchase, interrupting ur experience. I’ve only had this app for a couple days now but, seriously I can not recommend this app enough. It is a brilliantly designed app and so much fun to be interactive with your Tappy everyday. It’s an affordable price for an incredible quality of mental health care.

Sat Jul 12 2025 FoldBreadSo I never thought I would make a review on this app but I really wanted too. I downloaded Tappy around 2ish years ago, this was before the developer put in as much as they have at this rate (awesome stuff BTW!) but I loved the haptic response and the obvious love for figuring out how programming these games, fidgets, etc, work! Since then, I have bought the upgraded version since I love the app so much! Now that the dev(s) have added the relax feature I am legit hooked to this app, it’s honestly so relieving to see how much care a solo dev has given this project and I cannot recommend this app enough whether your just needing something to help ground you or make you breath easier and feel relaxed or just feeling fidgety I seriously recommend giving this app a try! Note: the only real bug I have faced is the actual Tappy portion where over the years when getting more clicks of Tappy I have experienced more and more lag. It started off minor but now it is pretty laggy but this also may just be me? Idk hopefully this does not happen to you though!
Love your app!😺😺😻

How it has changed everything
Sun Jan 02 2022 Kayl¡nI recently discovered that my boyfriend has some sensory issues. When he gets stressed out, overstimulated, or even just mad, he has a hard time thinking. I saw this app last night in my recommended, I downloaded it, and played it for a bit. I don’t have sensory issues but I do have anxiety and ocd. This app was life changing for me because I am a figiter. I have only had it for one day but I have loved it so far. I recommended it to my boyfriend because when he has his moments, he needs to do something, away from everyone else, to recoup. I was on the phone with him when he downloaded it, and at first he thought it would be a stupid game for toddlers. But I tell you one thing, once he started to explore the different activities and features of the app, his voice completely changed. He was so excited about all of the features it had to offer. Thinking about it now even makes me tear up. Long story short, I love this app and I would recommend it to anyone with toddlers, sensory disorders, ocd, anxiety, etc. It was life changing.

Fri Apr 14 2023 bettyviolet101I love this app. So much. I haven't even had it for a day, and I'm already in love. I love the different haptics, I love the sounds, I love everything. It's suuuuuper helpful for me cause I stem a lot and this is going to be so nice to use in stressful situations :D!! Seriously, this app is awesome and you should totally get it. The only small problem I have is the games. The games are fun, don't get me wrong. It's just sort of annoying not being able to pause the game. I tried to exit out of the app, but that didn't even pause it. I like to listen to stories, and it's little annoying when I have to "die" so that I can pick a new story, especially with tap-out. Other then that, it's freaking awesome. And I am by no means an app designer or anything like that, and I understand if you can't do it. It's just a suggestion that I think would be nice to have, cause it is a little anxiety inducing wanting to get a new story going, but having a really good score and not wanting to lose it. Still, the app is awesome!!! and I will be using it ALLLLLL THE TIME!!! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME BYYYEEEEE
Great app overall, but subscriptions? Really?
Wed Jul 26 2023 Kunene123456Don’t get me wrong, Tappy is an amazing app, but when I use it I feel restricted to relax because of the need to buy a subscription to use certain things. Tappy is not the only app this applies to. Most apps out there really need to specify what items you can use without a subscription and what you have to buy a subscription to use. For example, I was really looking forward to the fidget spinner; being heavily influenced by the fidget spinner era in 2018. I was disappointed to only have 10 spins on the spinner before having to buy a subscription. Also, I was looking forward to using the daily mood tracking, because that was mostly what I was looking for, but that also requires a subscription. However, the thing that upsets me the most is the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK WHATSOEVER. I don’t know if it’s just a problem on my part, but it’s absolutely annoying. I’m honestly thinking of deleting this app and getting a different one. I suggest this app if you don’t care for subscriptions and/or just want to tap away your feelings. For those who agree with this review, don’t download; it’s an absolute waste of storage.
Best app I’ve seen in a while
Sat Jul 01 2023 "Swipe for the blonde"This game is amazing! I used to find myself on my phones Lock Screen tapping the flashlight over and over for the vibration but this has a ton of things that vibrate. I actually think everything does! I love how when you choose a sound it stays playing on the other areas of the app. There’s even a place to vent if I remember correctly. This has been really useful and I 10/10 recommended! There’s useful advice and meditation and you don’t have to pay to use the basic things in the app! The only thing I remember costing money is the fidget spinner. I have one recommendation for it though and that’s to add a memory/memory training section of the app and it would be absolutely perfect for me and probably tons of other people to! The only thing I had trouble with is that on the relaxation area I had to close out of the app because it wouldn’t let me click ok on the pop up that said I need an iPhone 8 or newer ( I do ). This app is amazing and it’s the best I’ve used in a very long time!
