Leave a Review DBT Diary Card & Skills Coach
  • Needs a little work

    First off, I absolutely love this app and recommend it highly. I just have a couple of items that I feel would greatly improve the app’s usefulness.

    1.- When using the coaching feature, the text boxes don’t allow use of iPhone’s keyboard predictive text feature that I rely on for text input. I don’t know if there is any way to enable its use/functionality but I would really appreciate it as it would make using the coaching feature less cumbersome.
    2.- It would mean a lot if there was a way to save the coaching feature text and come back to it. Or even get Siri to encourage a user to complete the coaching text. I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or my chronic pain that makes it hard to complete all of the coaching texts in one sitting. But I feel like I need to sometimes think over the question and I have lost my input and had to start over.
    3.- Lastly, and I have no idea how this would be deployed…but I would love more integration with Siri. I don’t know if there’s a way to get a check-in about my overall mood or symptoms and based off that result to use whatever features.
    4.- I would love for the time that I spend working on DBT skills to translate into the mindfulness health data in Apple’s Health app, for mindfulness related skills or activities that I’m doing with the app’s recommendation(s).

    Thank you for all you do! I look forward to seeing this app evolve!

  • Cool but not great

    I love the idea of having an app for doing your DBT diary card instead of paper, but there’s a couple things that haven’t been working for me.

    1. When I click into my diary card chart of my overall week to review, it glitches everytime and doesn’t open for me.

    2. When I send my email of my diary card for the week, it shows other/extra skills, behaviors, and targets that are automatically on there, instead of just the ones I want on there…just a waste of time to read over the skills and behaviors I don’t use.

    3. It won’t let me add my 911 contacts. Whenever I hit the contact to add it just calls the friend and doesn’t add them.

    Is this app just out of date and not used anymore???

  • Broken app

    Unfortunately this app is completely broken. I've been trying to backup my data on my phone to restore it on my iPad, unfortunately I keep receiving an error. In addition, the “email to therapist” feature does not work. The app is very glitchy and often, the date selection when you want to make a chart doesn’t even show the dates. DO NOT waste your money on this app. There are plenty others out there that actually work. If l could rate this 0 stars, I would.

  • Major Flaw: Security Passcode Doesn’t Work

    Enabling the security passcode feature is useless since when prompted to enter the passcode you can simply swipe down on the pop-up and bypass the passcode all together. So much for having a “security feature”. I find this to be a major flaw that either needs to be removed or updated immediately since after all, personal/confidential information is entered in this app that usually only your counselor sees.

  • Crashes during chart generation

    I absolutely love this app. It’s served my time doing DBT well. However the app started crashing during chart generation which is something essential to my care. As such, I’m unable to use the app anymore. Disappointing.
  • Any support??

    When I click on charts, the app just closes out.

    Anyone monitoring these reviews? I sent a few emails re issues with sending charts and graphs and the email comes back undeliverable.
  • Issue generating weekly reports

    I tried emailing the developer and the email bounced back. When I go to generate weekly reports of my diary card for therapy they do not include the behaviors I am tracking. If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it! Thank you
  • Email function doesn’t work

    I love everything about the app except that the email function doesn’t work for me to send to my therapist each week.
  • Is Anyone There?

    Hello,
    I am a person in therapy, and my therapist has had me using this app for about a year now and it’s been pretty good so far. Everyone at my therapist’s practice uses this app, and I know my therapist has come to rely on it. That being said, after the update to IOS 16, I can no longer load the chart feature which is the only way for my therapist and I to really look at how my week’s been. The support email is defunct, and this app hasn’t been updated in 2 years, so I’m just leaving this review to see if anyone’s still paying attention, because I’d love for this app to get fixed so my therapist, her practice, and I don’t have to try to find a replacement.
    Loved it so far, would love to keep using it,
    Sage

  • Glitchy

    A good app with good content and easy to access, but can be glitchy. Keeps crashing on me when I try to open charts/graphs. Can’t see the date/time when trying (settings) to set or modify a scheduled email. Only option when emailing is through the default stock app, it won’t open my gmail app even though I have it set as default. I still find the app very useful but think the UI could use some work. Wish it would stop crashing/closing on me too
