  1. woohoo! Now I just need an iphone! 😀

  2. Nothing but “alive” about you Kate. I enjoy seeing your tweets all the time.
    Safe to say that being “different” applies to soooo many conditions/frames of mind. Frankly I prefer being different–always was that rebel child. 🙂 I am sitting here mentally applauding you for being you.
    Best for Thanksgiving.

  3. I love the app! I had never heard of your book till I bought the app, now to buy the book. Thank you For creating this.

  4. Fantastic and innovative! Thank you again!

  5. Thank you for this app. It really helped when I was having a real dark day- it’s a great way of having the book close by. I think number 102 should be added- play with the app and think about all the things you could be doing 🙂 This worked to keep me safe and well, when my mind was screaming out.
    Thank you again Auntie Kate for being there!
    Mwah!

  7. I have my iPhone and I like the app on it. Also I will try to have that book that will surely be interesting to me and all others. I’m just new to your site and I like what you have here.

  8. I wish this was available on the Android app market cuz I would TOTALLY buy it…

  9. There are lots of apps which exist nowadays but I prefer to choose only those which are the best. I don’t grab the entire app because time will come that my interest on those apps will disappear.

  10. Thank you so much for doing this for Mental Illness fopr teens…What a wonderful tool to have for a teen who is thinking about tossing in the towel. Take the time to download this app if you are a teen with diagnosed mental illness. I think it would also work for adults as a great momentary distraction. Thank you again

  11. I tried to visit the site you have provided. I don’t think so if that really works; but at least it features how important iPhone apps. I will be glad if you will show us more of your featured article here in your blog.
