Not really user friendly or helpful

I thought there would be more... especially since it’s a paid app. It just asks you a bunch of questions.

Response from developer

QUESTION BY QUESTION COACHING AND COMMENTARY. Richie Rich 976, the app does far more than ask questions. Notice the (i) info icon on the top left of the app when it is open. If you click there, it will provide you coaching on how to approach and answer each question. That's why we developed the app -- so you can have that commentary on each question. If you are still having an issue, or would like us to send you some love for the trouble you had getting started in the app, please email us at support@triumphantheart.com

Excellent App

If you are preparing for your dissertation defense, this is the app for you! I used it during the two weeks leading up to my defense. The questions were spot on and prepared me for many of the questions asked at my actual defense. Thank you Dr. Guy! I’m officially a doctor now!

Wonderful app

I love this app as it provides the guidance I was looking for in preparation for my dissertation defense. However, I would like to have the ability to move back to prior questions in addition to the forward (next) option.

COACHING FOR EACH QUESTION. I'm a bit surprised to read your review, Serserrano! Could you please email us some more details about what you found lacking in the app? We'd be happy to help. Email us at support@triumphantheart.com

Good tool

This is a good preparation tool for PhD students. However, many opportunities for improvements exist, for example, questions can be classified based into themes where users can easily click on a theme to practice the questions within it. Maybe a section with tick marks can also be added in which the user can tick the questions he/she mastered instead of having these repeated.
Thanks!
