Don't appreciate the use of certain language

I only just downloaded this app, and am still interested in using it, but within the first couple of minutes of reading an example on it, I came across the phrase "whipped boyfriend." I think the use of this phrase is triggering, potentially sexist and misguidedly judgmental toward men's partners.... especially in a DBT app, I would have appreciated more attention to non-judgmental, non-harmful language. I hope you'll take this feedback to heart. Thank you.

App configuration

The print in the app is too small. The Dearman page could not be submitted. This app lacked substance with very little in the way of teaching in relation to what has been paid.
More guidance and examples would be of a significant benefit here and it would make me feel great if the issues could be mended.

Text is hard to read

I generally don’t have problems with reading small text but it’s REALLY small on all the apps. It’s unfortunate because the information is valuable & helpful but if it’s not easily accessible, it becomes rather pointless.

Response from developer

Hi Sillafox! Thanks for reviewing this app, I really appreciate it :) I’m coming out with a new version of this and my other DBT apps which should have a better font size for everything by default. But even if it’s not big enough, that’s okay because the new version will support dynamic text. This means that if you set your text sizes to be larger using the Settings app, then the text will be larger in this app as well! So whether you need a standard 12-17 point font, or prefer a much larger 32 point font, this update should fix this issue. Oh, and there are lots more features as well. But I’ll let the apps speak for themselves when they’re released. Thank you again and good luck on your DBT practice!

Doesn't work

Once opened interpersonal myths there is no option to exit or go any further, just stuck there. So the app is pretty much useless. Very frustrating.

Excellent and useful

The DEARMAN builder is a great way to breakdown and use the DBT tool
