Premium not working

I upgraded to premium yet it keeps telling me to enroll in the free trial. I can’t get it to work with the premium features

Response from developer

Update: we've released many versions since your review, including a full rebuild (1.3.2 and later). If Premium still doesn't unlock for you, email support@dbtpal.app with the Apple ID email you purchased with and we'll sort it out directly.

The latest update is great.

Highly recommend for anyone tracking emotions for DBT therapy!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words. We're glad the latest update is working well for your DBT tracking. If something would make it more useful, write to us at support@dbtpal.app.

Update please

I love it. I can’t tell if there is a limit to items on the diary card but every time I try to add it crashed. Please fix bugs.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! We have released an all new version. Version 1.3.2 is a complete rebuild of the app and fixes long standing issues with the app making it no longer compatible with newer versions of iOS. Please try out the new and much improved DBT Pal and let us know if you have any issues.

Great DBT companion

My only wish is that the skills in the daily journal would have descriptions to go along with them. The skills section is mostly meaningless to me right now as I don’t know what 3/4 of them are. However, it’s a great tool to manage and log emotions in one centralized place. The premium was worth it for me to be able to have everything centralized in one app.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review, and for sticking with DBT Pal since 2021. You're right that a list of skills is hard to use when you don't know what each one is. The app was rebuilt in version 1.3.2. If the skills section is still unclear, tell us which skills at support@dbtpal.app and we'll look at it.
