  • So bright

    As an RBT who looks at this app all day long, my eyes get tired by the end of the day. I would love to have a dark mode. Otherwise, the developers have been steadily improving the app and fixing bugs, and it’s very appreciated.

    Developer Response

  • Anybody know how to screen format?

    Since the newest update the app is no longer formatted to my phone screen size, so I can’t read what programs I’m logging data for. Anybody know how to fix this? Already tried changing my font size in my phones settings and it didn’t do anything.

  • User friendly! Almost perfect

    Almost perfect! It just needs a start session and end session button for therapists. Also, a way for BCBA/supervisor to view therapist data collection in real time during supervision to ensure data collection integrity.

    Thank you for the feedback and the suggestions for feature enhancements. We're always looking to improve Catalyst!
  • It’s okay.

    I wish that when recording data it wouldn’t automatically switch to the next target. It’s really annoying having to go all the way back and then click the target you were currently on over and over again. I hope they’re able to fix it. Also, when writing soap notes auto saves would be super helpful because I’ve lost so much work before from the app crashing or something. I hope this is resolved. Thanks!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback and suggestions for improving the Catalyst app! Regarding your first suggestion, if you click "Session Settings" on the Student Dashboard screen, you can disable the "Auto-Advance to Next Target" feature. This will provide the functionality you're looking for. Please be on the lookout for new versions of the app each month as we continue to add features and improve performance.
  • Horrible app.

    Don’t get how you can’t even have a functioning app. Constantly slow and lagging

  • Better but

    Catalyst can’t seem to get it right with their app. Constantly has issues data fidelity is questionable at best across months of time. Interval recording frequently does not work right. It’s a shame. If my employer didn’t use catalyst neither would I.

  • Delete targets faster!!!

    This new app is great, however it has its defects and my biggest complaint is how slow the app is when I need to delete past data!! Especially when running trials and trying to delete that one mistake, it just takes up too much time in sessions. The old app deletes data so much faster! Catalyst work on this please!

  • Buggy features getting buggier

    There were some issues with keeping the student profiles displayed on the Home Screen in the app. Each time this happens, I’d have to close out the app, sign in, click on “Manage Students”, and re-download the students. The frequency of needing to perform this was occasional. In the past week, this has become a twice a day occurrence. The mild inconvenience has become a detriment as I am required to take duration data. There are other issues that others are pointing out, so I’ll

  • Horrible

    This app is always crashing and when doing programs it resets back to the top each time which is annoying. When trying to log in it’s not user friendly to reset a password just a horrible app all together.
