ADHD Quiz
Yes, get this! Thank you Dr. Hallowell! This quiz has allowed me to really pin point the ADHD diagnosis for my son. My son's pediatrician recommended that I check this quiz out and I am so grateful for the insight. This was just what the doctor ordered literally. I then took the long quiz myself and was shocked to see I scored 80%. I am already trying some of the tips. Also, the positive aspects of ADD and ADHD were refreshing to learn about. It made me feel less abnormal and more special. I love this app and will recommend it to my friends.Show lessShebashe
A good conversation starter for those unfamiliar with ADHD
This app provides two tests, a short and a long version, that provide preliminary indication of whether it is worth discussing ADHD with a health professional. If you're just learning about ADHD, this app does provide some good introductory information and good resources for further learning. If you've already pretty familiar with ADHD, and in particular if you're already familiar with Dr Hallowell and his philosophy on the condition, this app may not cover much new ground.Show lessph not v
A better life for $2.99
I've often said that ADHD is at its worst before it's diagnosed; once you know what you're dealing with, life gets much easier. This app provides two screening tests to help users decide whether it's worth exploring a diagnosis of ADHD further. It then provides some information about what ADHD is and its treatment options. It won't tell you everything you need to know about ADHD (not that it claims to), but it's a great start. Sometimes profound changes begin with small steps and getting diagnosed with ADHD is often one of those situations. If you've suspected that you or someone you know has ADHD, this app can help clarify that question. Worst case scenario: you find out that ADHD is not very likely and you can cross it off your list. Best case scenario: you find out that ADHD is quite likely and you take the next step of seeing a healthcare professional for an official diagnosis--like I said, once you know what you're dealing with, life gets much easier. This could be the best $2.99 that you ever spend.

Paid for NOTHING
This app does not work! A waste of time & money. When I select either the long or short quiz it closes the app.OklaOT
Great ADHD preliminary diagnosis tool and resources
This is a great preliminary ADHD diagnosis tool, with lots of extra ADHD resources and news. It won't replace a doctor's diagnosis, but can be used for preliminary screening, and to determine if a doctor's opinion is necessary. It consists of long and short questionnaires. The short questionnaire is statistically valid for screening for ADHD. Especially helpful for medical and educational professionals who need to screen others for ADHD. There are also good sets of ADHD resources and links, as well as up-to-date ADHD news and information. The app is well-designed and executed; appears to be bug-free.Show lesskbob88
Overall, good and helpful
I like that the short test is statistically valid, but 1) I wish I could save my results and 2) I wish the long version would tell you more about what's gong on in my particular brain with regard to ADD.therobbiedshow
A very helpful app!
My son's teacher recommended this app for my family and I am so glad she did. We found it simple and straightforward, very useful for several members of my family, all in one application. I plan to tell other parents in our school about this new application. Thanks Dr. Hallowell!SFBayMom
A Disappointment.
For those of us who are relatively conversant in ADHD topics and have read Dr. Hallowell's many books, this is nothing more than a short rehash of his books and an advertisement for those books and his other work. So, why is it not free, Dr. Hallowell?
If you take the adult test, the comments at the end say "the more 'yes' answers you give, the more likely you have ADHD." This is helpful?!! Likely those who download this app already suspect or know they or a loved one have ADHD. Again, if we're going to pay for an app, there should be a little more bang for the buck.
Yet, conveniently, there ARE some good resources listed in the app (but also in the books).
For those who know NOTHING about ADHD, this may be a good value. For those with any knowledge of ADHD, it's not worth it -- even as part of your library. Really, this was a disappointment.Show lessHanna Gorman
Very useful App!
It is an honor to be the first to write a review of Dr. Hallowell's new app. This is a real winner. As an iPhone/iPad lover I have seen a lot of apps and this one is here to stay. I am also a Child Psychiatrist (in California) who treats ADHD and I have already begun recommending this one to my patients. Thanks!Show lesssaalboy
