### 5/5 — Tool

*2017-08-17, version 5.0*

This is a great tool and handy for psych students, Neuroscience students and Doctors to quickly assess the dsm and current treatments and drugs for diagnostics.

### 3/5 — iOs 8, iPhone 6 and DSM 5

*2014-11-23, version 4.1*

Overall, the app is great. It contains all the information needed for psychiatric rounds and consultations.
But the design is way out of time, please make it iOS 8 compatible, and also iPhone 6 compatible. 
Also, I'd appreciate if you would update the information according to the new DSM 5. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great, or maybe even greater

*2011-06-13, version 2.0*

Didn't see any typo errors, but even if there are some, it does not take away from the greatness of this app.

Thank you.

### 4/5 — The scales alone make it worth the buck

*2011-05-06, version 2.0*

If you are looking for APA material, keep looking. It seems to me that they are not interested in offering an App. This App works great as a quick reference tool and offers additional perspectives to free online sources, such as the DSM.

### 1/5 — Abominable

*2011-05-05, version 2.0*

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with eight years of experience at a major U.S. hospital.  This app is loaded with gross inaccuracies and misspellings.  The section on the multi axial system of diagnosis is so completely wrong, for example, that I stopped even looking at the rest of the app.  If you value accurate knowledge and being well-informed, do not waste your money on this app.

### 5/5 — i like the app.
