### 4/5 — Good simple screener

*2018-12-04, version 1.1*

Good screening tool for depression and anxiety. Only issue is that depression results are for PHQ-9, which has a maximum score of 27, but app lists it as 20. Other than that easily fixable error, it’s a great way to check a person’s progress in treatment.

### 3/5 — Screening Tool

*2015-07-13, version 1.1*

If you're already comfortable with your diagnoses of depression and/or anxiety disorder, you won't need to download this app. It consists of testing used in various online self-reporting screeners. The app calculates scores. Questions pertain to "the past 2 weeks" but it looks like results are dated -- possibly you could adapt results as a daily tracker, but it isn't what the test was developed for. 
You have to pay to get the app that follows up screening results. I didn't buy.
