  • 5STAR MINUS 2

    So this application is wonderful, I’m a disabled US Army Vet and this app was recommended to me from my one on one therapist and my PTSD group therapy. It’s full of all the information covered in our text and when it’s time to email my DBT Card to my therapist THERE lies the problem. The email option DOES NOT work. I don’t care it’s only $5 for the app, my money, my time. Physically Im not always able to use my hands fully and I use a lot of Dragon Speech to Text to help me get schoolwork done. It’s a huge imposition to try and screenshot all the pages, print them to scan, only to EMAIL😞The up and down honestly aggravates my injuries and as I await a much needed surgery on my limbs, this COVID crap has everything canceled so the convenience of being able to EMAIL the PDF would be a FANTASTIC 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Good but glitchy, it’s not unusable

    Please fix the glitch with selecting dates, I really do love this app but whenever I enter a scrolling menu to select the days I want to email out, half the thing is blank and doesn’t let you pick some numbers
  • Needs an update please!

    Hasn’t been updated in TEN months. Date picker no longer works (in mail dairy card feature)

    Plus and minus buttons are too tiny, well below the 44 square pixels in Apples guidelines. Makes entering mood/thoughts/behaviour tedious and frustrating. Definitely discouraging.

    Otherwise fine, coaching feature is useful sometimes.

    Hope this project gets updated and isn’t just sitting on the shelves.

    I use this everyday and no improvements is disheartening and insulting. Please support the people using the resource you’ve created!!!

  • Two Thumbs Up

    This is better than documenting on paper
  • Great structure- frustrating execution

    I am hopeful that this app will be updated with a better system of downloading the charts for my therapist. I feel like I have tried everything to get the email to work but it fails every time. Or I wish I could just download the pdf of the chart. Support button isn’t working either. And I have difficultly getting the buttons to select moods/thoughts/urges. They frequently select definitions of those items instead.

  • Don’t buy!

    I wish I could get my money back. I’m currently in a DBT class using the workbook written by Marsha Linehan, and this app is missing some crucial skills listed in her manual. This is a problem because anxiety and distress cause cognitive problems for many people. When I’m in a crisis, I don’t want to have to root around to find the skills I need.
    Also, DBT uses acronyms for a reason—they help you access information you have retained when your cognitive faculties are diminished. This app does not include them. For example, the Distress Tolerance acronyms are not used, even if the ideas are there.
    I’m guessing the app does not match up exactly because the developer would not be able to charge for it (or charge so much!). I want my money back. I think it’s predatory to charge so much for something that takes a clinically- and time-tested set of skills and information, waters it down so you can’t be sued for selling it, and targets an audience that is likely feeling some level of distress or desperation.

  • Support unresponsive

    This is my second time trying to post a review to hopefully get some support since I can’t use the in app support buttons. My last review apparently got denied and I’ve emailed a couple times as well. I can’t send my diary cards to my therapist through the app because the send buttons on the upper right hand corner are grayed out, as well as when I try to send support requests. I literally haven’t been able to send ANY of cards to my therapist since I’ve started seeing her. This is super frustrating because I could be helping my therapist get to know my day to day better. Please help. I really would like to rate this highly because it works great otherwise.

  • Current version a little buggy

    Purchased this app awhile ago and it worked great but now the email function doesn’t work and it any customizations disappear the next day.
  • Way too many glitches and too pricey for what you get

    Can’t add apps, can’t change date, crazy colors and freaks out when going through settings menu. This is just a start since I just got the app. Plus visually not appealing or soothing when part of DBT is senses. I don’t know if all the skills are there (haven’t gotten too far yet). Has potential but disappointing they aren’t doing more for the price and what could be done, plus waaaay too many glitches for a paid app

  • Awful

    Design of app is abysmal
