Keeps crashing.
Recommend you do not purchase. The long quiz crashed repeatedly before I could complete the first question. I would like a refund.
Waste of money and time
I was particularly curious about doing the long quiz. There were no results.. If test is not validated and there are no isights you get after spending time answering 125 questions, then.. I highly recommend everyone interested in ADD/ADHD to save $2 and forget about this useless app, buy Delivered from Distraction book and get evaluated by a trained/licensed professional instead.

Good idea but...
I got this app so I could do the βlongβ quiz. Every time I get to the first question of the long quiz, the app crashes. It does this for the adult version and the child version. Please fix.
A One Time App
After this app is used once, you can throw it away. Reading Dr. Hallowell's website is cheaper and more informative. This is just a quick make money scheme and the good doctor should be embarassed that he charges for it. I was ripped off. Don't buy it. You can find the same thing on any internet search.

Worst quiz ever
This is the worst Adhd quiz I have ever taken. First of all, the questions are loaded with unnecessarily high level vocabulary, it's as if this doctor wanted to look intelligent. It also asks odd irrelevant questions like whether I had earaches as a child. Finally, I am not married and do not have children which means about 15 questions did not apply to me. Shame on this doctor.

A waste!
I would rate this 0 stars if I could. Very disappointed that after taking the "quiz" I was given a generic response with no real tips or information. Seems to me that this is a really deceptive way to put a few bucks in someone's pocket, $1.99 at a time. Don't waste your time or money like I did.
Pretty much told me nothing
It just gave me a percentage, it didn't really tell me anything much at all! Certainly not worth what I paid for it, I found online quizzes for free far more useful
Good pre diagnosis tool
I wish the doctor would give some sort of a likelihood that you could have based of the test
This app is very misleading. Waste of time and money!
I felt this app was going to provide a detailed assessment or diagnosis as to whether i had ADHD.
It didn't even come close. it ran me through 125 questions (some irrelevant ones) and then at the end it basically says:
"The more yes answers you answered, the more likely your are to have ADHD. I wish I could be more specific here, however this quiz Is based on my clinical experience and has not been validated." WHAT?????
Then why the hell did you charge me $2 to download this useless, waste-of-time app???? He doesn't even give you breakdowns based on your scores (ie, unlikely,likely, most likely, etc).
It's truly useless. don't download this.

Convenient, practical and straightforward
Great information for families and parents. Very informative as my children just started school. Simple, quick assessment for individuals just learning about the facets of ADHD. Resource section also helpful in the next steps section.

ADHD Quiz review
This application had many more questions than I had seen before in the standard ADHD assessment questionaires. The questions were descriptive, specific and easier to relate to than I had previously seen. I felt that the long quiz was accurate because of the variety, breadth and depth of the questions.

Great Teachers' Aid
I'm a 5th grade teacher in New York. This app has helped me understand and appreciate the more "active" students in my class. I would recommend this app to other teachers.
Really helped me better understand ADHD
My pediatrician recommended this app. I'm glad I got it. I learned a lot about ADHD - took the quizzes myself and also for my two boys. An understanding of ADHD will definitely help us in school this year. I really recommend the app for parents.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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!
