The Work App

This app has completely transformed the way I see my thoughts and emotions. The process helps me slow down, question my beliefs, and recognize patterns that I never noticed before. Each time I use it, I feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded in peace. It truly is life changing.

Wonderful app. Simple. Easy. Effective.

Thank you so much for the app

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. I

App will not open

I heard Katie mention that they are working on the app again. If this is true, please include dark mode in the update! The white interface is killing my eyes at night when I want to do the Work before bed. Also please update the design to allow more space inside each text box and allow scrolling. Landscape mode is needed for the iPad version. Lastly the way the emotions list pops up very tiny could be improved (and the emotions could be alphabetized!). Thank you for this app, it's making a difference in my life.

Have downloaded the app 2 times and it still won’t open

I can see how this app will be more helpful than the paper worksheets I never have on me when I want to do the work, but please make the tweak to allow it to be viewed horizontally when I have it attached to my keyboard to type out my thoughts. Please! thank you!

I am using it for the first time, and while it definitely helps me do “the work“, the app can be very irritating in that you can’t see your full answers, and when I went back to adjust something I’d spent a long time thinking about and writing down, it deleted all of it. It frustrated me enough to stop using it for now. If you write simple, short answers, it will work for you, but sometimes there’s a lot more to write to get at the deeper levels of “the work“.

Extremely valuable!

I recently purchased this app because I love the flexibility of using it while I’m traveling. I have only done 2 worksheets and now it crashes each time I try and open it. If I dump the app and try to reinstall will it make me purchase it again?

I’ve been doing the work for a few years and this podcast supports my understanding and soothes me in times of worry. Cannot overstate the improvement in my peace of mind!

I love The Work and thank you for making this app. In this review, I’m reviewing the app itself. I hesitated before buying this even after reading many of Katie’s books and watching hours of sessions. The app hasn’t been updated in nearly 4 years which made me worried it was developed for old phones and then abandoned. It feels a little clunky on newer phones. The screen space feels unnecessarily constrained die to the black bars. Entering text is more difficult. I think this is because the keyboard isn’t the modern one that fits iPhones without the home button (iPhone X and later). It inte

I am delighted with how easy it is to use this app. It makes it much easier to follow the inquiry process. However, using this app on an iPad with a keyboard, and trying to read sidewise, is very uncomfortable. Make the app work in landscape mode on an iPad and I will up the number of stars.

The Work is so powerful but the app misses on a couple of easy to fix points; 1: Unable to put it in landscape mode on my ipad to use the keyboard. 2: It needs to be lockable. Please help with these two issues!

I appreciate this app and enjoy using it to meditate on The Work. I would like to know if I can change the orientation so that when I use the app on an iPad, I can use an attached keyboard, which must be done in the landscape, not portrait orientation? Other than that, I love this app!

Really appreciating The Work app. 100% recommend. When I go to edit my journal, it doesn’t allow me to add another turnaround. Only allows me to correct my turnarounds. Would like this fixed.

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 keyboar

I just starting using this app today and I love the ability to journal but I don’t like that it doesn’t require a sign in or password. I would also like the ability to have my information available to me whether I’m on my cell phone, my iPad or my MacBook. It doesn’t appear that this is an available option right now. I do love having the mobile app because pen and paper is not always available when you have that moment that you need to do The Work.

As noted in other reviews, your can’t type in landscape mode. Also, it is set up as a several page form, so looking at the entire worksheet while filling it out is not possible. That needlessly complicates things though it may make sense on the smaller iPhone screen. I will resort to creating my own set of forms for my iPad journal. Save your money if your main goal is to use this on iPad.

I’ve just recently downloaded as an additional resource to do my work. My only issue is that i would love for the app to switch the view from vertical to horizontal. I have a keyboard for my iPad, and it would be of much more use to me. Otherwise, it is easy to use and in depth. Well done.

Others have mentioned this and it’s true - very distracting to work on an iPAD and not have the screen orientation rotate.

I love the work and Byron Katie and having this on my phone actually makes my phone time more productive and easier to do the work when I can’t reach a pen and paper. HOWEVER PLEASE PLEASE update, when you’re writing in the boxes you can not see what you’ve written if you exceed the space. We’re encouraged to run our thoughts to the end but there is no space, please help us with this small But important fix.

This app is for iPads and it won’t go to landscape. Why bother? So annoying I have to do the work around this app. Brilliant you guys!

My criticism here has nothing to do with Byron Katie’s method or worksheet concept, but the app itself is poorly designed and basically unsupported, especially considering what an incredibly simple concept filling out a worksheet is. It’s to the point where I won’t use it at all because on my iPad it won’t rotate into landscape mode so I can type on my keyboard. Also, the input fields don’t track your typing inputs, so it’s difficult to edit or see what you’ve written if you’ve filled up the limited visibility text box. Someone please update this app and fix these very simple issues!

The content and process of The Work is incredibly powerful... something I’m so grateful for. May keyboards for the iPad, including the one made by apple which most people probably own, only allow for landscape typing. There is no way to use the keyboard in portrait mode, making the use of the app on an iPad incredibly inconvenient.

Without landscape view it is a pain to use a keyboard with the app. Not a deal breaker. Other than that...the whole practice is just brilliant. Really worth more stars...I just wanted someone to notice.

This is an immensely helpful tool to guide you though a conversation with your mind. You can disarm harmful thoughts, reframe the problem and find peace. I’m new to the work and I can not recommend her process enough. It’s life changing.

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

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.
