I’m done with Done
I’ve been using Done for years. I’ve loved the app. I bought it shortly after downloading the free version because I saw the value for me. But that was when they charged a one-time fee. Now they have switched to a subscription, which is fine. They can change their pricing model. But for over 30 consecutive days they have had a pop up in the app giving me a “limited time offer” to upgrade (essentially to get on their subscription model). But I already backed them in the beginning. The pop up ad causes the app to freeze. Every. Time. I’ve reached out to customer support and they haven’t fixed it. Their compensation was to offer to pay for 1 year of their subscription model. By doing so, I would give up my already paid for benefits and would be signed up to pay the next billing cycle. Is that the only way to fix this bug?! I feel betrayed for being an early backer.

An actual life-changing app
Like every other millennial recently diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve turned to technology to help manage my brain not working so great. And Done has been an incredible help in establishing a routine: making sure I take my meds, that I eat!, even brush my teeth twice a day, etc. That’s where I started and now I have a whole morning sequence that’s so satisfying to check off. It’s so easy to forget those little daily things that make a big difference in health and that I’m now doing it consistently with Done’s help is so huge. I work in software so I also appreciate that side: The app is beautifully designed, it’s SIMPLE, taps and swipes do what you expect them to do - and when they don’t, they do in the next update. It was absolutely the right choice to split productivity functions in the rest of the Growth bundle into separate apps instead of something all-in-one, and while I use and love Last too, Done is as critical as GCal to me at this point. Thank you dev team, seriously - I see the choices you’re making and they are GOOD. I will probably be a lifetime user!

Updated review
With each upgrade the app becomes more inoperable. There is a significant lag that makes it almost impossible to use. You should be able to just simply click and have it track your status however there’s about a 15+ second lag. Sometimes it catches your tracking and sometimes it doesn’t or completes an action you did not intend. The summary view doesn’t work with the latest upgrade and the app has been freezing frequently. The most recent upgrade also made it impossible to quickly view if you have tracked your goal for the day on monthly goals. You have to physically go into that goal to see if you’ve marked it. Again a waste of time because the app lags so much and doesn’t do what you intend with your first tap. I used to love this app however because it’s becoming so difficult to use I will likely have to find a new one to replace it.

incessant ads for premium
nonstop “limited time offer” ads for premium. all have fake countdown timers to incite FOMO. the same offer is presented to you again and again and again with refreshed timer so it’s false advertising “limited” offers. Why are you so predatory towards users who aren’t interested in your premium to the point it ruins the user app experience????? find a balance jesus

Checklist should only apply to that day
It defeats the purpose of having a daily checklist if all of my goals for every individual day of the week are always displayed. There should be an option to only display goals that apply to that specific day and not just an option for goals that are kept track of on a daily basis. Ex. If I have a goal for Tuesday and Thursday, on my Wednesday dashboard, that goal should not appear in the list my goals for Wednesday even though I can’t mark it as done it makes it less concise and clear what I need to do that day. Also, for perfection purposes my screen is never clear when I accomplish all of my goals bc there’s unnecessary goals greyed out on my screen. Overall good app though, this was just the one thing that really bothers me.

Use this everyday
Have used this app for years. Wonderful that there’s a widget now. But for weekly goals, the widget only works from Sunday as the start of the week, wish it could work with Monday as start of the week. Also none of the links to submit feedback / contact developers / join Beta program work. Apart from that, it’s great.

overall, great app.
i’ve only recently started using this app. i kept getting adverts for it on instagram and tiktok, and finally decided to download it. i have had similar apps like it, including the same company’s “reflectly” and a similar one, notion.
i wanted to track the things i do every day and actually get motivation from doing it. i like that you can use numbers to help you, for example, when i drink 1 glass of water, it tells me i have 5 left. which for me personally, is very motivating!
speaking of motivation, i really like that you can set up your own reminders and notifications for each task. really helpful to someone who never gets things done but eagerly wants to.
the only reason i rated the app “DONE” as 4 starts instead of 5, is because i wish you wouldn’t have to pay for everything. you can only have 3 tasks, and then you have to pay $9.99 (monthly, if i remember correctly) to have unlimited tasks and any other things that come with the subscription to the app.
but, overall, i think this is a great app for those who are looking for something to help them get things done, and ACTUALLY do them!
(and this is coming from someone who never finishes things…until now!).

Pretty good but improvements needed
I like this app after about ten days of using it but I’m running into one bug and have a feature request. The bug is that the widget week always starts on Sunday even though I have the tracker set to start the week on Monday. The feature request is to have a calendar view as an option with ability to swipe between screens for each habit. So for example my “stop drinking” habit would have the normal tracker/progress bar at the top with a calendar view of the full month or last 6 weeks at the bottom. And I could then swipe right to go to the next habit in the same view. I would find this more motivating for longer streaks. Finally the give feedback, request a feature, and contact us links in the app don’t work so not sure if the devs are still working on this app or not.

Tremendously effective
So you get 5 stars for Done. The bundle is pretty generic versions of better apps and decidedly redundant, but first year value is excellent. Would I pay $99/yr after that… um no. But you have a year to change my mind or lower the price.
I do thoroughly enjoy companies that have a non-legal, plain explanation of privacy. Kudos to you for that. The actual privacy policies freak me out, as they all do. Not a big fan of other countries having different privacy laws and would appreciate a list of those countries and links to their privacy laws. Not that I would read them, but it’s like diving off a spring board and hoping each country has an actually minimum required water depth. Big fan of not landing on concrete.
But again, 5 stars for Done. One suggestion, there has to be a workaround for zero goal. Not all goals are expressed as you numerically envision. Make it an option in settings please.

Won’t open
Just downloaded it and when I click on it it looks like it’ll open but just takes me back to my homepage. Writing this review so others like me can see it’s been happening to others too.
I’ll wait until they fix this but not for long. Looks like a cool app but no idea what it’s like as it won’t open
