Useless for important tasks; no history and too eas
I quite like it; it’s just a to do list. With a little bit of humour. But unlike most lists, you can’t see what you have done, nor when, so if it’s a task you need to do again, it’s useless. No schedule either.
I’ve also managed to delete at least 3 tasks accidentally coz my phone is a ‘swipe up’ and if I happen to swipe a little to the right, it’s way to easy to delete a task - it doesn’t check that I meant to, and as there’s no history, I can’t see what it was. Let’s hope they weren’t important.
Maybe I’ve missed a setting but if so ... where?!
All told, it’s Very Clever Marketing: £3 for a too-simple to do list. Hey ho.Show lessHappy Busy Bee
Sassy and handy
Carrot has helped me get my to-do list organized! It’s nice to be able to check things off and feel like I’m accomplishing something by leveling up. I also appreciate the snark as it is oddly motivating. I wouldn’t normally pay for an app, but I’m happy I did!delrae92
Great Fun
Love the whole angry thing only had it three days but would really recommendBrucearch
Gimmick gets old fast
I’m a big fan of the snarky AI trope popularised by a certain 2007 video game! However for me the negative reinforcement provided by Carrot as I complete tasks doesn’t translate to a sense of accomplishment unlike the typical dopamine rush of ticking off a to-do list. I find myself only using it for work tasks and not hobby or home chores because I don’t want to associate the feeling of using the app with things I enjoy. Unfortunately that leads to another problem: Carrot gets mad way too fast. In between going to bed for the evening and arriving at work she will already have decided that you’re not productive enough.
If you’re easily stressed, breaking down tasks into a list can be your biggest ally in understanding what you can achieve and avoiding feeling overwhelmed. What isn’t helpful is a little red reminder telling you numerically just how much you have left to do.
If you have mental health issues such as anxiety or you want a to do list app that won’t exacerbate the feeling that you’re not doing enough, you should avoid this app.
The gimmick is cute if you find negative reinforcement neutral or even motivating. I felt like since I paid for it I had at least try to use it, I got up to level 14 in about 4 months but I think I’ll go back to the notes app.Show lesslibrarianmashka
Promised Updates
I’ve been using this app for a while and really like many things about it and, especially in the beginning, it was motivating. But it’s getting tiresome and desperately needs refreshing. Syncing across devices is pretty pointless without also being able to sync tasks. I may be looking for a new app if updates don’t happen soon.Show lessJCRW rates
Great app
If you love the carrot weather your gonna like this multi tasking app. It’s a fun way to get things done. Although I do think there is room for improvement for that perfect 5 star rating. A few suggestions. The biggest complaint is when the app turns on , if there’s music playing it cuts it out to have the robot talk . LET THE MUISC PLAY or give the option too over ride it . Besides that the app is great. I’ve been using this app for a week now and would recommend it 😁Show lessGhost8809
Effective but tiresome after over a year.
I’ve been using this to-do app for over a year now, and while it has been effective, a year later I’ve grown tired of the constant nagging and snarky comments to motivate me (I used to be more amused by them, but am now weary of them). And so I’m going back to another to-do app that I liked and used in the past.
My biggest wish with this app, which still has not been granted, even though I emailed the developer regarding it about 10 1/2 months ago, was to set windows of time that are off limits to CARROT, such as for when I’m sleeping or working, during which times I’m not able to complete tasks in my to-do list. I received a response saying this was a good idea for a future upgrade, but that was many months ago, and the functionality still hasn’t been added (I read another user’s review that echoed similar sentiments). I just find it disappointing that I get CARROT in a good mood by completing a bunch of tasks and later find CARROT in a bad mood because of time I was not able to spend completing tasks due to the need for getting sleep or working at my job, which in my opinion is not fair. I really hope the developer adds this ability in a future update.Show lessmgmiller68
Not a lot of options - more for amusement than getting things done
Can’t really do much without leveling WAY up! This is more for amusement than actual getting anything done. You can’t schedule due dates or times, or schedule repeat reminders. And while the app will sync levels across devices, it does not sync tasks so that isn’t helpful. Unless you are turned on by poking ocular sensors and hearing Carrot’s droll, gravelly, 2 pack a day voice just use iOS reminder app or get something like Appigo’s ToDo CloudShow lessOriginal_Glitch
Great if you’ve got ADHD
I’ve struggled my whole life with ADHD and the associated symptoms. This app makes getting things down enough of a game to draw you in. Then once you get that mini dopamine hit from the first “reward” it’s much easier to keep going. It’s also great for helping you prioritize. As someone with ADD, I get easily sidetracked with other things that also need to be done, and wind up forgetting the things that need to be done first. Carrot helps me remember, oh yeah. I need to do the thing son the list first. I can add this thing to it. Such a great gamified app!Show lessAlex BBF
Makes you want to do a todo list
Simple design, psychopathic AI that gets angry if you have been too busy all day to make up things to do so you can complete them. Actually makes it a bit more fun to check your list. Just wish there were more phrases to interact with Carrot rather than just “Carrot I’m Bored”. Although getting prepared for the apocalypse was a good suggestion.Show lessLcharsh
