  • A simple, easy way to take climate action

    Commons provides an easy way to understand how your spending creates emissions, and guides you to small ways to reduce your emissions over time. I love how it’s tailored to my lifestyle and uses my real data - allowing me to understand what actions truly matter. Love the design too!
  • Loving Commons for our planet!

    With Commons, I feel a thousand times more informed and aware about the impact of my own actions and lifestyle on our planet’s carbon footprint. It gives me the facts, knowledge and tools to minimize and offset my footprint and helps me make meaningful choices that are good for me and for my planet.
    Love the new avatar of the App!

  • Insightful and actionable

    I love seeing the data visualizations of my transactions and how they relate to GHGs. I love the ability to offset the carbon emissions for spending I cannot avoid as a consumer. I loved greening my bank!
  • Wish it didn’t require a bank login

    I wish I could input all of my transactions by hand instead of having to link my bank account/cards. I’ve had my information stolen from supposedly secure sites before and I’m not interested in that risk. I do have one account I use solely for apps and stuff that want a bank connection (like Venmo), but using only that wouldn’t be useful in this instance.

    Seems like a cool idea otherwise.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback. We use the same secure card connection service that Venmo uses (Plaid) but totally understand your concerns. We'll soon have footprint estimates available based on lifestyle questions alone, and even if you choose not to connect a card for your more detailed and automated CO2e tracking, we hope you still find value in our guided actions to lower your emissions, like greening your bank or flying more sustainably.
  • Timely, essential

    This work is more important than ever. So happy this exists
  • Won’t work on iPhone

    This app seems like a great idea, but I am unable to use it because there is no way to scroll down the pages to read and/or complete the intro process. I have an iPhone 11. Bummer.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback and I'm so sorry to hear you had trouble using the app. We're constantly making improvements, releasing new features, and improving the app stability. We hope you might give Joro another try. If you still have trouble with the app, please email us at info@joro.app so we can help resolve any issues you're having.
  • Not good enough

    My spending is mostly on Apple Card. Not supported.
    I have solar on my home and on a rental. Both overproduce annually to the tune of about 1 ton of CO2 saved. Can’t add that reduction.
  • Can’t connect my card

    I would love to be able to use this app but my bank (Scotiabank) is not available as card option to connect. The app doesn’t even give me an option to suggest a bank I cannot find it.
  • Great concept!

    Love the idea, beautiful and simple UI
  • Useful app for those who care about climate change

    This is a beautifully designed and easy to use app to help individuals track their carbon use. It’s really awesome how you can automatically offset your carbon use. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is interesting in learning about climate change and how we can each make a difference!
