### 5/5 — Very great and useful

*2024-12-11, version 3.0.27*

This is is very simple but very great it help you decide based on factors like you give points to each option and it give you the best decision based on number. Like literally taking a decision based on numbers not feeling or emotion. Very easy and great. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2024-01-23, version 3.0.25*

Having a visual representation of the various decision choices is really help in making good probalistic decisions and this app really helps with that.

### 5/5 — Really, really, really useful app - I LOVE it!!!

*2024-01-10, version 3.0.25*

I have been using this app since 2018, and I absolutely love it! I’m a very analytical person and like to weigh the pros and cons of more complex (and some simple) decisions. I have a very good template I found years ago to do this on paper that I probably could have replicate in a spreadsheet, but decided to see if there were any comparable decision-making apps. I wasn’t surprised that there were quite a few decision-making apps and really did my research to find one that most closely met what I was looking for. Best Decision was, by far, just as the name says it is - the Best Decision! It’s simple to set up, very easy to use, and you have your results in no time. You can see your results ranked in a list, or in a chart. It’s also very flexible in that you can go back and modify any of the elements you originally set up in the event anything changes (as tends to happen in life). When you’re done, it saves your list of “dilemmas” for future use (I mention this because something else I tried didn’t keep the results, so this info was lost unless you printed it), and you also have options to share and/or save your results in multiple ways (text, email) and formats (PDF, image, actual details).

Bottom line: I absolutely love this app and highly recommend it!!!!!

### 5/5 — I’m a fan, any chance of CSV export?

*2023-02-01, version 3.0.21*

Hi, I’ve been using your tool for helping with big life decisions and I’ve hit an instance where it’d be handy to track how criteria ratings change over time. Any chance you’d consider adding a details export feature that could be pulled into a spreadsheet conveniently for more analysis?  Thanks for the great app!

### 5/5 — Great for making difficult family decisions

*2022-05-25, version 3.0.17*

Great for making difficult family decisions

### 5/5 — Simple, powerful!

*2022-04-28, version 3.0.16*

Great design. Works well!

### 5/5 — Worth it! No regrets! Upgrades!

*2021-07-12, version 3.0.10*

This app has been in my core group of apps that I always download on every phone. It helps my get a perspective on what I’m really placing a priority on, sometime it’s not that important. 

You can adjust, redo it, tweak it, which I felt was always a plus. You can share the results and there’s a graph to show how your favorite pick fell off the chart which I really appreciate. 

Great work!

### 5/5 — Helps my decision making….

*2021-07-02, version 3.0.9*

I’ve been using this app for a while now and have used it to help me make the best decision on the following subjects:
Should I Sell or Stay and Improve my house.
Should I take an offer for full time employment or continue in my part time role.
Should I buy a new car, Motorhome or a motorbike.
Should I move to the coast, country or town
And finally it’s currently assisting me in my decision making regarding my new home where I’m able to mark all the shortlisted properties against a laid down set of criteria.
All big decisions I’m sure you’d agree and none you should attempt to decide without the added bonus of this app.

### 5/5 — App keeps crashing

*2020-08-31, version 2.4.3*

When I try to enter a decision choices app keeps crashing on my iPhone 11 which is updated to the recent iOS. So frustrating.

App support is excellent very responsive in fixing glitches.

### 3/5 — Simple but lacks optionality and is expensive

*2019-05-21, version 2.3.1*

I used to have an excellent decision-making app but it, sadly, got withdrawn from the App Store. I was, therefore, looking for a replacement. I came across this one and it looked OK. You basically decide on a question, come up with some alternative answers, decide on what criteria matter most to you and weight them, and the app then comes up with a decision. It’s simple and fairly intuitive but all a bit limited and underwhelming. There are some templates with set questions but they’re a limited and random motley crew. I expected much more for the price so only three stars, I’m afraid.

## Frequently asked questions about Best Decision
