4/5Almost perfect
I love the work and I’m really grateful for this lovely app to help me do it more often and to have one place to keep all my worksheets, and revisit them as needed. Everything is here, it’s really simple and easy to use. I like how you can do just a belief, or how you can do the whole JYN worksheet and it’ll separate it out into beliefs as you go, and I can question each one individually. It’s a cool structure. HOWEVER, I do have problem with it...I REALLY wish it would go into landscape mode! There’s a lot of typing to do and it bums me out that the screen won’t rotate so I can use my keyboard on my iPad. If the developers would fix this and let the screen rotate, it would be perfect. As it is, it’s worth using even thought I have to tilt my head and type with everything all 90degrees off. I guess I could write a worksheet about it, haha!

5/5Accelerates the Work tremendously
The app works very well on my phone. I can see it is constantly being improved by reading past reviews and seeing what it actually does today. I use it daily and it’s getting more and more effective for me. Having this at my fingertips makes it possible to inquire anytime. That’s the point, constantly chipping away at false beliefs and mental misconceptions that cause my pointless suffering. This makes it simple, there is no excuse not to spend a moment and work a thought, explore any troublesome state of mind or body. It is always helpful and I’m beginning to naturally inquire this way as Katie describes with the practice this app provides. The questions are becoming part of my thinking process and my insanity is easing. There is a history log so I can see where I’ve been, how silly past unexamined thinking was. I see my progress and it encourages me, I directly experience moving towards joy and freedom. Best mental health bargain I know.

4/5Best App I’ve ever purchased
I recently downloaded the work app and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use and interface with. It makes doing The Work simple and accessible, which is the best for when strong emotions and fearful thoughts arise. I love it! Anytime I’m stressed out it’s so easy to just pull up the app on my phone and do The Work for 5-10 minutes and finish feeling like a completely different person then I was before. It makes doing The Work more do-able. I highly recommend purchasing the app, it’s worth way more then the cheap .99¢ cost. I can do The Work anywhere now, without having to have a paper and pen in hand.

3/5Review with a view to function improvement
The Work is important. I believe it is primordial that the app has a “draft” mode that allows you to work through any worksheet as if you had just started it. I have “lost” work because I had to stop working on the worksheet (ran out of time, life happens, interruptions...) and when I try to go back to it to finish it, the incomplete worksheet is in my work journal but the “edit” function only allows some of the things (add a turnaround but not the 3 situations, for example) to be added (edited in), but does not allow for you to follow the worksheet workflow as if you had just started it. It is great that everything I put in the first go is automatically saved. Now just need to be able to continue the work already started at a different time/session.

5/5Great application, minor qualm
I love almost everything about the application. It’s convenient, it’s easy to use, practical and full of everything I’d need or want in a virtual journal for The Work. The only thing that irritates me: how the JYN worksheet’s what do you think of that person always auto scrolls to the very end of where the text ended, even if the cursor is in the very beginning of the text. This is very inconvenient when I want to change something in the beginning, because I cannot see what I’m doing. Only the end of the text is visible. Please change. Otherwise, it’s great. Thank you.
