Latest reviews of Parenting Without Power Struggles - Susan Stiffelman app for iPhone and iPad
As a parent of 4, this app really helps bring Susans concepts from her book into reach when needed the most.
I purchased this after reading the book and am very disappointed. It has the feel like it was thrown together just so there could be a working link to an app. There is no useful information and, to make matters worse, it requires an additional fee to buy the next section. Guess what happens when you click on "purchase"? They dont have it done yet and it tells you to stay tuned. Pathetic. Dont waste your money.
The app doesnt have much content. Just several sentences repeatedly remind the user constantly. Plus several audio files which last 2 minutes for each. It is such a useless app. However, the book is pretty good. Buy the book, not the app. It is waste of your money!!!
I didnt read the book yet but was hoping this app would get me off to a good start. Well, the pause and gather sections are static. The progress is a little foofy - not much behind it. My hopes went up a bit when I started getting the default reminders of actions and affirmations, but there is no where in the app to see them!! So if the text is too long on your screen it cuts of and you never know what it said. Bummer. Please fix the app so you can see the affirmations and the action items!!
In a way the app is similar to weight control apps requiring to keep a diary. It is not really practical, in my humble opinion, to keep notes of the many situations we face with children. The book is really good.
