About this app

🌟The Understood app: A skillbuilding app for parents of kids with ADHD🌟

Having big emotions is a key part of growing up for any child. But for kids with ADHD or dyslexia, they may be more frequent and intense. This can be overwhelming for both parents and kids.

This app was developed by psychologists to help parents understand and effectively respond to their child’s big emotions. It’s based on proven approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Get personalized insights, practice new skills, and track your child’s progress — all at your own pace and on your own schedule.

📌 Key Features

• Skillbuilding lessons: Learn techniques and practice new skills developed by psychologists. Figure out what your child is trying to tell you. Then decide on the best way to respond.

• Behavior Tracker: In just a few clicks, log your child’s challenging behaviors using the Behavior Tracker. You’ll see patterns emerge that’ll give you clues about the root causes and how they may relate to your child’s ADHD or learning difference.

• Tailored insights: The more you log in the Behavior Tracker, the more personalized insights you’ll get. These insights were developed by psychologists to help improve your child’s behavior over time.

Ratings and reviews

Edit: I got in contact with them and they solved my problem in a day! Great app and customer support. Old review: It seems nice but I cannot get past the setup stage. It says "Finding connections please wait.." I've been waiting but nothing. Restarted the app and wrote everything again, nothing. Switched to data instead of wifi, Nothing. PLEASE HELP!

I absolutely love the app. The only thing I would like to see is added options to the behavior log section. There are only 9 very generic options, with other not being one of them.
