  • Doesn't work don't buy

    I was looking forward to using this app. At present it won't work. The video doesn't load and there's a white box where the keyboard should be. Yes I've turned the phone on and off again. Waste of money don't buy!
  • Needs technical improvements

    App locks up and you cannot save work....I love the app in concept and it needs some technical improvements. The keyboard appears without keys sometimes. The keyboard overlays what you're typing so you can't see what you're typing. Fonts size does not auto adjust. App gets stuck at the point of entering the first turn around and you cannot swipe forward or backward therefore losing your work.
    I love this tool
    please make it more usable

  • Life saver

    I've had this app on my phone for probably 3+ years and use it if ever feeling overwhelmed and or in need of some insight. I love the audio prompts and use them every time; I also have an iPhone that's equips with Siri and dictation abilities, and find that answering the prompts out loud enhances the whole experience. Not only is it more like what I'd imagine the real thing might be like, but something about voicing my turnarounds - and hearing myself speak them out loud - really drives the point home in a way that's different from times I've typed my responses without speaking them. I guess I also feel more free because the language is fluid. I don't know... Anyway, thanks for the wonderful app! I've never had the video prompts work but it's never bothered me because it's so easy to access a wealth of free video available online. I only mention it in case it's feedback the app team may find useful in some way. Thanks!!

  • Doesn't work freezes

    Freezes when you try to use it. Really rubbish app
  • Excellent process, middling app

    Byron Katie's the Work is fantastic and incredibly useful. This app is passable. It helps ask the four questions but lacks two very important features - password protection (if i'm going to pour my heart out I'd like to know it's not going to be seen by others) and landscape mode (for those of us on ipads etc). It'll do but really needs improving.

  • Disappointing

    It's missing the Judge your Neighbour worksheet. Goes straight to the 4 questions and then the turnaround. And it's not possible to go back to it later although you can email it to yourself which is helpful if you want to reflect some more. But on the App it appears to disappear forever.
  • Freezes up

    When not freezing up, this app is great and inviting to do the work! However as it is I can't use it.
  • Big help but ....

    I love having this simple way to examine my thoughts and quickly feel better. I am a psychotherapist and this is one of the most effective tools I've ever found. However the app could use some upgrades. For example allowing the user to use the keyboard sideways; improving scrolling so users can read what they are writing better and having the navigation arrows more responsive. Thank you for this app. I love having the Work into pocket. It is helping me through a rough time.

  • Please add "save" function

    I love this app, yet while I'm working on it, it often times turns itself off and I lose all my writings. Or sometimes I don't have enough time to work through one liner and want to work it later, yet it doesn't hold the data for a long time.

    Please add "save" function so that I can keep the entry. Then this app is perfect!!

  • Great concept - not enough options

    Going through step-by-step is great but when one thought is investigated, no option to save or go to the next thought without closing app and reopening.
    Picture of Katie is self serving and unnecessary for doing the work. Not enough screen space to see what has been written and follow own thoughts as I go along.
    The idea is great and I love being able to have the Work on the go.
    Could really use some work and please take large photo of BK out of process. This is my work.
