### 4/5 — Provides some useful and easily digestible ideas

*2023-05-27*

Seems like there are some good ideas to help with adhd related behaviors. Hoping for more involvement and tips. A large robust community would be most helpful but I have yet to see if there is much involvement.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive review! We hope you've had a chance to come back and engage with the community.

### 5/5 — Great find to support learning differences

*2022-01-04*

As a parent who has 4 children (3 diagnosed with ADHD and/or dyslexia) this app is a great find. I just started using it and I am excited to explore more of what it offers. I’m always looking for ways to support my children thriving in school. My favorite quote about ADHD, “Creativity is ADHD gone right,” and it’s so true. Our brains work different, but that’s not a bad thing.

We're so excited that you found the app, and we hope it can be a great resource in supporting your children.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT SERVICE

*2021-12-10, version 1.6*

EXCELLENT SERVICE

### 5/5 — Unique app

*2021-09-20*

It’s so cool to find a space to be able to talk about my daughter’s ADHD. Not just with other parents (although that’s great) but with doctors and teachers and people who are experts in this field too. Other parenting groups can be challenging if you don’t have neurotypical kids, but I feel at home here.

**Developer response:** Hi NeedH2O, thank you so much for taking the time to review our app! It's great to hear that you've found so much value in connecting with parents and experts and that you feel at home on the app. With your permission, we'd love to use your testimonial to help other parents find this resource.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2021-09-20*

Love having a go-to place to talk to other parents with kids with learning challenges. Especially when we’ve had a particularly bad day. It’s great to know others are out there

### 5/5 — Finally found my tribe!

*2021-09-20*

As a single mom with neurodiverse kids, it’s hard to relate to regular mommy groups or feel comfortable on Facebook groups…always seem like I’m being judged or getting uninformed advice. Wunder is a breath of fresh air! I finally feel safe knowing other parents are going through the exact same thing. And the experts! No more desperate googling at 3am. Sharing with all my mom friends!

### 5/5 — Helpful Resources

The community on here is open. I don’t feel judged when I ask questions about my child’s disabilities. The experts are knowledgeable and sound like they really care, too.

### 5/5 — Handy tool for parents of children with special needs

As a parent of a child with special needs, this app has been a great resource. I especially appreciate the ability to interact with experts and other parents dealing with similar challenges.

### 5/5 — Great, Informative

*2021-09-13, version 1.1*

This app really helps my family. The learning resources address some of my biggest questions. I’m happy to have a safe place to post my questions. It’s Wunder-ful!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wow - has anyone looked at the T&Cs?

*2026-01-21*

It’s listed as a lifestyle app so you don’t have any medical privacy. They don’t “knowingly” track minors’ information, but if you as the parent enter it in, it’s theirs forever?! This is an app for tracking your child’s ADHD and behavior. 
If it’s free, you’re the product… or in this case, your child is. I can’t download it for this reason.

### 1/5 — For only one type of

*2025-09-23, version 2.14*

This app doesn’t adhere to a child with ADHD Inattentive Type. For a child who doesn’t have meltdowns or disciplinary issues.

### 1/5 — Like the concept but design is not user friendly at all

*2025-04-23*

I downloaded this app because I liked the concept and thought it could help me with my child who has ADHD. But it’s really difficult to use, there’s way too much text! I ended up skipping through the instructions because it was overwhelming and not user friendly. The app is not interactive at all

### 1/5 — App not working

*2021-09-02*

Though I put the correct log-in information, it does not let me log in. The logo is spinning and it never let me go any further. I reinstalled the app, changed the password and tried again. It let me submit the log-in info but nothing happened. No “wrong info” warning, no next page, and no nothing. I hope this tech glitch will be fixed soon.

**Developer response:** Hi mintphone, thank you for taking the time to write this review, and we apologize for the error you noted above. Luckily, we've made tons of updates over the last few months, and you'll likely notice that the issue you ran into earlier has been resolved. We'd love to have you try the app out again! Please feel free to email us at app@understood.org with any questions or feedback.

### 1/5 — App is not working

*2021-08-31, version 1.0*

I downloaded the app a few days ago & it doesn’t load. All I see is the red flower looking icon spinning on a white background.

### 2/5 — Very overwhelming

*2022-12-01*

It’s clear that the people who created this site want to be helpful. But they missed the boat. When one has dyslexia, they have trouble navigating the written word, and that is this entire app. Not one opportunity for voice to text or any videos. I didn’t give it one star because they do try to block the different topics so it’s not horrible to navigate. But there are a lot of questions posted by parents, and it’s difficult to find the experts who are actually giving advice versus people just sharing their experience. Also, the advice is pretty much anything you get anywhere on the Internet.  I feel bad giving a poor review, because you can tell the experts care. But time would be better spent advocating for more streamlined support than passing out generic advice on an overwhelming platform.

### 2/5 — Great content but App functions need work!

*2022-10-07*

I think some of the content could be very useful, but it’s difficult to access. I’d like to try it again after the next update. 

Device is an iPhone 12 with iOS 15.6.1

So far the issues encountered are: 

1) I made a post to a group yesterday. Today it says I have a comment, but I haven’t been able to access/see it.  When I click on the post from the feed it doesn’t show any comments, it only gives me the option to make a comment. 

2) There is an issue when trying to view or download the printable resources.  It requests an email to subscribe to emails or to log in.  If you’ve joined the app via Google sign in there’s an error message that says “let the developer know that this app doesn’t comply with Google security…blah blah blah”.  I’ve tried emailing and texting it to myself which just opens it up in the app and I keep encountering the same issue 

3) I highly recommend adding a tech support link or adding a group/thread for people to ask tech related questions in the actual app, vs needing to go back to the App Store to find how to communicate with the developer. 

The only reason I’m taking the time to do this is because I feel the content could be helpful/great!  But the format and interface is lacking.

**Developer response:** Hi there, Carisa! Thank you very much for your thorough review. It's feedback like yours that helps us improve our app experience for all users.

Given the updates we've made to the app since you left your review, all three issues you encountered should be resolved.

If you run into any other issues, please feel free to send us an email at app@understood.org so we can look into it for you. Thank you again!

### 3/5 — Good but needs more

*2025-02-20, version 2.7*

Love the idea and helping me understand behavior and triggers. But I can’t add more than one child? How can I track more than one kids behavior?

### 3/5 — Impossible to change roll setting

*2023-02-04*

Looks good but impossible to change some settings, like role of parent vs “here for me”. Also Categories not specific enough to get proper references

**Developer response:** Hi there - We sincerely apologize for the troubles you've experienced. Please get in touch with us at app@understood.org so we can look into this for you.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2025-12-06*

Having 4 kids makes everything feel impossible sometimes. It’s hard to remember who did what. This app helps me track each of their meltdowns, helps me learn different parenting strategies. & now that my second child is in school, her teachers think she has dyslexia.. the app is helping with that too. Apparently I knew almost nothing about it. It has taught me a lot. 
I wish the app was more aesthetically pleasing. The profile icons are a little bland & it doesn’t give you the option to add your own. But it’s not a big deal & doesn’t affect using the app. 

Awesome app! 10/10

*2024-12-01*

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2023-05-02, version 1.22*

Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Math

*2022-12-28*

I’ve gone all the way through math. And what did I learn?
I learned that math deserves to be hated. It’s not your fault.
Wanna hang out today?

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2022-03-27*

Love this new app by the folks at Understood. I’ve been researching adhd on my own and found understood through articles on how adhd appears in early teens. This app helps me find other parents who’ve gone through this process of getting accommodations or helping their children in school! Love it
