### 3/5 — Great start, could be improved..

*2019-09-25, version 2.6*

I think this has potential to be a great app. I would have liked to see the ICD9 and DSM5 codes listed as well, so that I didn’t have to still have my DSM on hand. 
Please keep the improvements coming!

### 4/5 — A Very Good Buy

*2013-05-05, version 1.6*

For anyone in the psychology profession, this is a very great tool and works just like a D.S.M would. You could find every disorder within a click and thorough explanations for each. It gives proper diagnosis requisites, but doesn't tell you much of any proper testing  practices for diagnosing. 

For people with no psychology experience, and who want to learn, this app is very good at explaining every disorder; but be aware that you have to be very interested in the subject to keep attention while reading, and I would not recommend this app to dyslexics or people suffering A.D.H.D. 

Overall, grammar is very well in most cases, but there are some times in which grammatical inferring is needed. 

I gave it four out of five for its great information and availability, proper diagnosing requisites according to the D.S.M-Diagnostic Statistical Manual-, and I subtracted a star because of its grammar/spelling and attention keeping. 

Thank you for reading.

### 2/5 — No quick criteria available

*2012-04-30, version 1.5*

I bought the application in hopes that it would have what it claimed to have, that is quick diagnostic criteria available for the dsm diagnoses. It does not. There is a lot of information in this application on the different disorders but you have to sift through it all to get the criteria. Therefore it is not useful for me and my practice.

### 4/5 — Dr

*2010-11-13, version 0*

Great app. But needs landscape bec of the tiny font
