Amazing app!
This app is literally has helped me so much in the short time of having it. The motivation it has given me, the habits it has got me back into doing gets me excited to opening the app back up each day to reward myself. The colours, the music and sounds and the calming voices that talk you through your daily check-ins have been such a big encouragement for me. I couldn’t recommend this ENOUGH! Thank you for creating this app 🧡

Useful so far
I’m reviewing after using the app for a week, so it’s possible I’ll wish I’d rated it more highly once I’ve seen more of what it can do - but since it is already asking for a review, here it is.
I’ve found the app useful. It starts off getting you to drink water as soon as you wake up for 3 days in a row, and builds other habits from there. So far I’m drinking water, eating a good breakfast, and doing a simple workout 3 times a week. The effects of this aren’t clear yet as it’s still early days. However, it’s already improved my mental state and attitude towards routine.
The app is very aesthetically pleasing, and I think a lot of people would enjoy the visual appeal. I personally find the interface a bit overwrought and would actually prefer a much simpler layout and format, without all the distracting sections and narrative frills. However, it’s clear enough to keep me coming back.
I am going to keep using the app and, as things stand at the moment, I would sign up for the paid version. There’s a lot of work that’s gone into it, and the early results are promising.

Beautiful UI, bad UX
So the path of slow and steady incremental changes makes a ton of sense. The kinds of tasks it seems like the app orients on, also seem well founded and useful. However, the way you interact with the app itself to achieve those ends is so confusing and unintuitive to me. There’s no one place to look at what I’ve achieved or how I’m doing, or which goals I might choose. Even after using it for a few days, I’m still unsure of where to find any succinct information or even which buttons I should be pressing. In addition, the way it offers me the option to make goals and follow up with those goals just doesn’t match the natural way I make decisions or the flow of my day.
For example, I’d see the notification to drink water with bleary eyes immediately after waking up, but before my brain can comprehend. Then it disappears into the fog of slowly waking. This morning, I finally did get myself to immediately open the app and log that I drank water, then it promptly opened a loud animated cut scene which was pretty annoying for me, but even more annoying for the person asleep next to me. I hastily closed the whole thing.
I’d really like to utilize the set of slow and consistent reminders that seem to be at the heart of this app, but what does it matter if I can’t actually figure out how to use it? Frankly, every time I open this app I eventually just angrily close it, and am left feeling frustrated. I’d never pay for it.

My Saving Grace
One of my biggest issues is feeling lost even tho my business gives me a sense of purpose I’m all alone in the basement and have no schedule. I always thought my life would be different. Now I know it’s up to me to execute the life I one day will have but not to worry about it or dwell on my past but literally just live day to day improving myself and loving myself and laughing and being grateful and giving each step of the way. That’s how you live. Fabulous is helping me get some structure because I sort of just get lost sometimes not knowing when or how to accomplish things. Like do I really have to go to bank everyday? Lol no the adderal was doing much more harm than I thought and cutting out the toxic ppl feels so good. My phone can be a curse but it’s been directing and guiding me lately, I’m so out of touch w the world cuz I’ve kept myself so isolated all these years. Like Kanye, Taylor Swift they ha d issues to snd I’m not the only one lol I can’t believe I thought I was a bar person. I’m such a good person and I’m just feeling really happy anc hopeful . And it’s only day two . ❤️my friends Richard was my saving grace and I’ll always love him for that even tho I’m changing for me. So I can be the boss I was meant to be lol

The Jump Start I NEEDED
I used to live my ~dream~ life and I had my set of habits that worked. I was always in a great space and nothing could have brought me down. Then I moved away for college. The freshman 15 happened and I just went up from there, I started sleeping later and waking up later, and I lost focus of the habits that made me happy. Since then I’ve been trying to get the motivation or the will to do the things I love and I always feel the need to start it all at once which is difficult and unrealistic. Bit this app has made that more of a reality. I might get a later start to my day since I’m still just trying but the practices and talks on this app, the realization that motivation isn’t real you just have to do, and the checklist all give me the push necessary to bettering me and my daily life. Honestly, can’t really find the words to describe it but try the free trial and see if it works for you. Personally, I used it once and didn’t really understand it, forgot to cancel my trial and here we are. Best accident to happen yet. But you have to want it and be willing to really make some changes or it’s not going to work. Fabulous is just a tool, it’s up to you whether or not you use it.

Disappointed
I had loved it at first, however annoyingly enough I had to delete it after discovering that I had marked "done" on the wrong date and the app will not let you delete it to correct your mistake plus I have chosen a challenge which I didn't really want to do at the end and I couldn't get rid of that either and it was very annoyingly popping up all the time asking to mark my progress even though I had never started it in the first place. Have redownloaded the app after its deletion, but not sure if it is worth starting it all over again in case I would make another mistake which bothers me to do point that I would have to get rid of it again and who really wants to keep starting from the beginning all the time!? As that way it doesn't really lead anywhere. So all in all, very disappointed with this "no delete" feature!
Please fix this as it is a nonsense! None of us are robots and people do make mistakes and due to our free will, we change our minds about what we fancy doing and what we don’t if it comes out to be not so appealing, which is a very natural part of life.

Review
I bought this app almost a year ago. I fell for it. It took long to set up and I thought this app was an all in one solution to track my daily routines and things to do. It was complicated to set up and I added alot of the habits. The trial wasn’t helpful. I continued past the trial period and decided to give this a chance because of its cosmetic attributes and sounds. I knew this app had a lot of weaknesses and some promising strengths. But to launch this app with so many complications for the price I regretted downloading. I re down loaded it and got charged again at a discount I like the new price .the old subscription should of been stopped and a prorated credit back to me. What I would like to see is daily habits being entered into your routine more than once and the option of setting the alarm more than once ie. eating a healthy meal and the habit of drinking water. Every habit should have this techinal attribute. Another suggestion when the app is first launched the setup tutorial must be more clear. Another suggestion is the ability to set each habit to daily or weekly and ability adjust duration of each habit ...if these habits have these abilities already this app is not user friendly yet or it’s not easily visually apparent. I will continue with this though. In summary this app was launched with the developers not fully thinking everything thoroughly.

Feeling great after just a week of small changes
Beautiful app with such immersive graphics and artworks that takes you on a mythical and inspiring journey to building a life of rituals and habits that will have you feel great and being more of how you want to be. In a week, after starting hopelessly depressed and defeated in inaction in my life, I now know at least that these growing habits are something I have control over and make me feel good too. I’ve found myself building on this kernel of integrity in other areas of life, smashing my to-do list and being proactive in general. This app was designed with heart and beautiful attention to detail, you can tell it was made by people who love what they do first and foremost. I am hopeful about my future again - just a bit - and I can see how this could grow and I could regain my sense of confidence and control and self.

Potential to do more harm than good if you have an anxiety disorder
This resorts to an eerily fear-based approach for something aimed at general self-improvement, and with such critical technical limitations.
If you don’t log into the app for a couple days it sends an acutely manipulative notification to get you to open it. This is paired with a technical limitation that neither allows you to check off tasks you completed in days prior, nor to uncheck something you tapped accidentally but didn’t complete.
Maybe it’s still a step up for people who are already glued to their phones from the moment they wake up, or are facing dangerous vices. However, studies actually show that reward-based approaches still tend to be better for learning than punishment-based ones.
Manipulative notifications paired with the limits for checking off tasks suggests poor design at best, or worse that its intention is actually to build an addiction to the app itself ($ubscription), as opposed to commitment to real-life self-improvement.
I liked it for the first couple days, but don’t want emotional punishment for not being addicted to my phone.

Fabulous
As the name says ‘fabulous’ This app really
Is fabulous....it doesn’t annoy me or fill me with unnecessary info. It seems to give me great encouragement and the feeling of being able to achieve whatever I want. It’s very reassuring and I love checking in every day without feeling pressured to. It’s like a habit creating habits for me, but checking in is also a habit without it feeling like one (if you get my meaning!!).......Love it!!
