### 4/5 — About time

*2017-10-08, version 1.2*

So glad to see something like this... however, with mental health being such an important and relevant subject these days the developer has a regular responsibility to ensure the links to help lines and sites are up to date. Other than that, superb and shared with all my colleagues, family and friends

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2014-08-12, version 1.1.3*

I project managed this app.  I am veteran. Feedback from veterans who have used it has been exceptional. Videos said to be very powerful.
