Social Work Theory

This is a great idea and some aspects of the app are really useful, the envelope and the theory of the day are great. I was disappointed though that despite paying my subscription I didn’t have full access and as this caught me on the hop during a meeting was a little bit embarrassing.

Extremely helpful for people with SpLD. It’s clear and informative! Social Work encyclopaedia for new starters! Helpful tool during placement

This is a great app to have - theory on demand! As an ASYE I found that I needed reminding of certain theories as I thought about interventions and interactions with my clients. This app has given me the space and opportunity to do so readily and easily! I particularly love the theory of the week section!

This is a fantastic app. It’s about time the social work profession modernised it’s practice. I use this as a practice educator and tell all my student social workers to download. Unclear on negative comments the in-app purchase (subscription) clearly stated and for what you get, cheap as chips. Huge advocate!

This app seems very promising. Unfortunately you pay the £3.99 for nothing but a few videos, which if you’re already a professional that its patronising. It’s a shame that this looks as though it’s apl for profit and for any potential students/students although these books/tools are great for “basic info”, it’s best to go to other academics that give a more in depth break down and critical analysis of different theories. What a real shame!

What a fab app, why did I not know about this when I was undertaking my training. It is clear, concise and easy to use. I struggled relating theory to practice but using this app has really helped.

A great way of keeping theory in the heart of your practice, if you’ve been in SW a while, as well as being a brilliant aide for students & practice educators. An incredible amount of work has gone into this, all not for profit, which many in SW really appreciate.

Once I purchased the app, I couldn’t use anything within the app unless I made further purchases. I feel extremely ripped off as I’ve paid for the “privilege” of seeing what I cannot have. I’ve only given 1 star because I’m unable to post without doing so.

I’m frustrated that I had to purchase the app that only really works for my need if I buy yet more through the in purchase app! I already have the books etc I just wanted to have it at my finger tips instead. Looks like it could be a great idea but a more up front Initial cost would be better as I feel ripped off.
