When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Source sounds like a back translation or something like that, not idiomatic German.
| Thanks Michael. It's always gratifying to learn that it's not "just me"! |

: Maybe, but this doesn't convey a clear meaning to me. "Along the lines of" usually means "in a similar way to".

I'd change that to "in a way similar to" or "in the way of"

Discussion
Der in dieser Studie angewandte Suchstring wurde entlang der depressiven Störung bzw. Depressivität entwickelt. So konnten Apps identifiziert werden, die explizit für Depression/Depressivität entwickelt und verschlagwortet wurden und in den App-stores verfügbar waren.
