### 5/5 — Excellent book, old app

*2025-04-27*

The book itself is phenomenal! It’s a very detailed and descriptive book. It taught me everything I needed to know about Psychiatry, DSM-5, medications/dosages, therapies, etc. Highly recommend!!! 
I’ve been using it for years and continued to use it throughout medical school. It’s an exceptional book that every person in medicine (especially those in the field of psychiatry) should read. 

The app itself is old, very busted. It shuts down every time you open it. It used to work really well but my guess is that it’s been a long time since they updated the app. 

My advice is to go look for the PDF of the textbook and download it for yourself. I promise you it’s worth it!

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2022-02-18*

Used to be very useful app but now crashes and won’t open. Needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2022-01-07*

App will load but closes upon touching the screen after initial opening.

### 5/5 — Excellent book
