Feelsy: Anxiety Relief & ASMR
Feelsy is designed specifically to provide anxiety relief through ASMR, which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR involves listening to soothing sounds and watching visual triggers that are known to have a calming effect on your nerves.

The app provides various features aimed at relaxation and stress relief: not only can you enjoy ASMR sounds and soothing textures, but it also offers an opportunity to interact with these textures like slime by using the screen. There are over 80 textures to choose from.
The app it not exactly lightweight, so it might slow down some phones.
While it’s generally free, you can pay for premium features – and I must admit the price is pretty steep in the case of this app.

ASMR Rainbow Jelly
Yet another ASMR app, this one is somewhat special. As the name suggests, the main focus is on colourful jelly: basically, you get to create and then chew through loads of rainbow sweets. In addition, you can turn the sounds on – that is, if you are a fan of chewing sounds of mukbang videos.
The game was downloaded over 10 million times on Google Play, which speaks about its popularity.
In terms of functionality, the app runs does not always run smoothly. In fact, I found it rather buggy and freezing too often. The interface is, obviously, very vibrant. Overall, though, this ASMR app is simple and straightforward.
At 185 MB, the app might take up some storage space on your phone.
There are ads, too – perhaps a bit too many of those. They are there even if you turn off your internet connection. Paid features are there, too, allowing you to unlock extra sweets.
