DSM-5-TR® Diagnostic Criteria
Does the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Criteria app have a free trial or free features?
No, the app does not offer any free features or a trial period. You have to pay the full $75 upfront just to see the table of contents, so be prepared to commit if you want to test it.
Can I use the search function to find symptoms across different disorders?
Absolutely. The search function is the standout feature—you can type a keyword like 'avoidance' and it instantly shows every entry across the entire manual where that term appears, complete with relevant text snippets.
What should I do if the app won't open or crashes on my iPhone?
First, make sure your iOS is up to date and restart your device. If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app—your purchases should be restored via in-app purchase recovery. The app is generally very stable, so crashes are rare.
I bought the app but can't find the bookmarking feature. How do I access it?
Bookmarks are usually accessible from a dedicated tab or menu icon within the app. If you can't find them, check the app's settings or help section. You can also try tapping and holding on a page or chapter title to see if a bookmark option appears.
How does this app compare to using a physical copy of the DSM-5-TR?
The app is far quicker for cross-referencing and searching—it saves you from flipping through a physical index and hunting pages. However, at $75, it costs significantly more than a used paperback, so it's best for professionals who need portability and speed over a cheap reference.
