### 2/5 — I would upgrade if it was for ipad also.

*2015-03-08*

These app makers, don't they know we use ipads too? Really, how hard is it to make an app ipad compatible at the same time? I use a clamshell case with a bluetooth keyboard and the ipad in landscape.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-02-26*

So far so good. Dr Hallowell's books are great. Being diagnosed with ADHD in my 20s I was really most. Dr. H's books helped me tremendously and this app runs great on my opine. No glitches.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2012-12-20*

Good tips from Dr Hallowell. I like the Catch integration to add my personal notes.

### 5/5 — Recently Diagnosed ADHD Adult

*2012-07-14*

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD/ADD and honestly I thought my world was coming to an end. The first few months alone, I shelled out over $1,000 on doc visits and different meds that didn't do the trick. When I went to Dr. Hallowell's website and saw info on this app, I rushed to get it--and I'm sooooo glad I did!! The assessment, productivity tools, and exercises have helped me tremendously. This app rocks and I can't wait to see what app Dr. Hallowell and his team come up with next! GREAT JOB!!!!

### 5/5 — Back to earth

*2012-06-23*

As a grad student in medicine with ADHD, I struggle with studying and motivation. I grew tired of only stimulant medicines without real coping skills, and I am sad to not be taken seriously at times by family friend and colleague. I turned to this app as a source of short reminders day to day that I can fit in. It's nice to have at least one small victory and something to feel gratitude for each day, and it's easy for us to forget those and only find miraculous focus on negative things about our shortcomings. This app brings me back to the simple things. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Helped me realize just how crazy my schedule was...

*2012-05-25*

You don't realize just how busy you are and how much time you spend on things going on in your life. This app definitely helped me figure out what I was spending my time and allowed me to put some weight of importance to each. The tools and tips to reduce stress are good as well and do help me try and get some control on my stressful schedule. The PRO version definitely has some nice features and gives you access to a lot more information and tools/exercises. It's also good compliment if you've read Dr. Hallowell's Crazy Busy book, but don't have to have read it to get a lot of good advice and tips out of it.

### 5/5 — Crazy Useful

*2012-05-25*

With two jobs and a young child I am always looking for tools that help me spend my time more effectively. This app lets me implement the concepts and ideas from the book on a daily basis. I also love the customized tips.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2012-05-07*

I make the third ADHDer in the house and this app is amazing for us! The exercises are great! Thank you

### 5/5 — Good Advice

*2012-05-04*

This app really helped me focus what are the important things in my life. I  going to reprioritize my activities as suggested by this app. Worth the $2 upgrade to get additional informations and exercises.

### 5/5 — Helpful Resource and Great Advice

*2012-05-04*

Lots of suggestions that I can use right away.  Love the timer/stopwatch.  Planning to use the gratitude tracker too. Includes more tools than I expected.
