Pros and cons of Psychiatry pocket app for iPhone and iPad

Psychiatry pocket app good for

nice app, i especially like the classic view where i can zoom with a pinch of my fingers, the navigation is good and the content is nice, i hope there is a free update coming soon.

Great content, excellent organization, wonderful layout. It is the best psychiatry app i have used till now

it is a wonderful app , surely download it, all topics are well covered and the content is really good.

The app contains a lot of information which i needed for my studys.. veryy helpfull.

the update is superb, the text is really readable, love the classic view

If you are looking for APA material, keep looking. It seems to me that they are not interested in offering an App. This App works great as a quick reference tool and offers additional perspectives to free online sources, such as the DSM.

Some bad moments

I purchased this app with the expectation that it would provide more detailed information on dsm. Unfortunately it provides only the most elementary of information. Sorry that I purchased the app.

Terrible! Worst app Ive bought. Review would be the same even if the app were free...

Difficult to use, have to scroll across even in landscape view. Does not have DSM codes or criteria, just tells what each Axis describes. Quite limited in information overall.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with eight years of experience at a major U.S. hospital. This app is loaded with gross inaccuracies and misspellings. The section on the multi axial system of diagnosis is so completely wrong, for example, that I stopped even looking at the rest of the app. If you value accurate knowledge and being well-informed, do not waste your money on this app.
