Ratings and reviews

!! Low rating for developer attention. Overall I think this is a 5-star app. I'm a MH clinician who uses this app with clients often. The number one biggest problem clients have is inability to save an incomplete worksheet. Especially for the CBW, it takes a good chunk of time to complete these. It would help immensely to be able to work on one, save progress, and come back to finish it later. Other feedback: when adding items to stuck point log, don't prompt for CBW until after CBW is intro'd.

I used this alongside CPT therapy with a counselor. it was really helpful to me for keeping everything in one place, sharing it easily with my counselor, and creating affirmations to complement my changed beliefs. It was mostly straightforward to use and clean visually. I would recommend it and I would use it again.

This app was recommended by my therapist, and I have been using it for close to 3 weeks now. It has helped me understand so much how PTSD affects your brain and other important factors. This app breaks down each "stop point" and helps overcome each one. Also, your impact statement can be uploaded by picture, or you can enter it. All of your work can be sent directly to your therapist and saved. I really appreciate this app. It has so much that I personally needed.
