Good idea, but ...
I like the idea of this app, it keeps you thinking about the skills. The more you do it the more you remember where you need to improve. And you can see your progress. However, the UI is just terrible. I will definitely use the app but a total rethink in design would be nice.
Not close enough
Not a great app, per se. Good for the obsessive DBTer, every skill must be reviewed at the time you log or you lose what you have done, so no quick check about one or 2 skills. Logging is tedious, an action that should take a half second (checking a box) takes about 4 times that. Can't do same skill multiple times. Log screen optimized for people with perfect eyesight and not color blind. Doesn't allow multiple notifications.
So, why is this important? Typical DBTers need to use skills throughout the day, but one major issue for BPD is loss of focus. This app doesn't help that. Another issue is obsessiveness, here you can't tell that you did the same skill 5 times, which is a clue, right? We forget to check in, so we need multiple reminders. Etc. I'll keep checking but for now, it's not what I need.

Trauma queen
I have been using it now for about a week and it so far has been really helpful..
Somehow just reading through the cards helps to stabilize me and by doing it everyday is helping reprogram a brain that's spent 40 years+ in pain and confusion...
It is giving me a sense of hope I never felt before that one of theses days maybe I will be OK..

Excellent app
If you are learning dbt skills get this app - really worth buying
Excellent app for skill practice
I've done 6 months of a group program of DBT. I had to stop for personal reasons. This app keeps me on track with practicing my skill use and the areas I need to work on. Also helpful for my therapist to see which areas I need to improve on.
Good app 😊
I really like this. The format of the app makes it easy to digest the techniques. You check off daily which ones you have done and so this has a cumulitive learning effect. Its very soothing 😊
Best DBT app I've come across
Fantastic App! So helpful
