Latest reviews of The Leadership Challenge Mobile Tool app for iPhone and iPad

A Nice Way to Improve Your Leadership
Love the way this app can help you implement the five practices. Those of us familiar with the model understand the more frequent we use the behaviors, the better our leadership. It takes deliberate practice to move us from conscious competence to unconscious use of our leadership skills. The practice portion of the app is my favorite. I love how it can guide you to select a behavior, send yourself reminders, and schedule to your calendar. In a future update, it would be nice to be able to store LPI results within the app.
No sound?!?
Maybe its just me, but since the "upgrade," the videos are silent...
broken app
spent 5 dollars on this app and it didnt work i want a refund
Going mobile
As possibly the best framework on leadership this app provides all a leader needs to keep the key concepts in the frontal cortex so they are conscious of their behavior. No need to be at ones desk to update ones action plan, get a reminder, or a quick inspiration.
Mobile app needs leadership
Seriously. Previous version worked on iPad 3 except for immediate crash on choosing Request Feedback. New 2.0.2 version crashes about 0.5 seconds after opening. Lets Share the Vision of an iPad app that doesnt crash.
