Having ADHD, free trial periods can be less of a blessing and more of a curse. If I get distracted and miss days, I’m less likely to go back to something. It’s also harder for me to intentionally get into something new or create new routines. The “ADHD tax” (aka where your ADHD makes it way easier to forget to do things like cancel free trials and then end up paying money for something you don’t use later) is also a big problem.
Because I have ADHD and didn’t get back to this app before my free trial was up, I never got to explore the app to see if this program -that’s supposed to be designed to help with problems I face with ADHD- would even be a good fit. There are no do-overs, no resets. If I wanted to explore the app now, I can’t do so without paying a large weekly fee or signing up for a larger fee/longer plan. I’m not saying it’s unfair or that having ADHD should get people special treatment. But an app designed to help with ADHD should maybe consider this is a problem for a large portion of their target audience.
Maybe the app is great for people like
me, maybe it’s not. I’ll never know now.
I love this entire app but the fidgets are probably my favorite!! I just started on it and this is now my favorite app!! I love love LOVE how they have the fidgets it’s super satisfying!! Thank you for making this app and thank you for the fidgets!!
I have downstairs app over a month ago and it really helps keep me on track! I love the little Panda and how I can redecorate his room! The small rewards are just enough motivation to keep me coming back! I think the ability to include a routine to help keep my kitchen clean in manageable steps helped greatly too! They have additional tools to keep you on track in a variety of ways.
I would love to see some additional changes to the app like the ability to feed and care for my Panda on a regular basis. I would also like to be able to see my past emotional logs and daily logs to see what I have said.
Overall a great game for what it is! I love this app and use it every day!
I’ve been using the app since March 2024, and after buying up the entire store — I needed more.
I sent an email to get help, and they called! We had a great chat and now my Cub is having a blast with the updates. ❤️🥳
This app really helped me get through burnout. It has also been great just to check-in with my Cub (myself) every day and make sure my basics are covered. Forever grateful.
There are still days that I can’t get myself to do the things, but this app helps me keep track of what I need to do in an engaging way. And I like the ability to block other apps, just still figuring out how I’ll use it best.
Would love to see the ability to add clothes to my cub or other ways to spend the bamboo points.
I like the idea, I signed up in April. Created all my routines, it is a cute app and good basic habit tracker.
I had to pay for a subscription past the trial, there’s nothing free- but the FAQ page says there’s a free version?
I fell off the wagon when the kids got out of school, routine changed and we started traveling. But Cub would still ping me with notifications so I just went to get back on and all my stuff is gone. I had to go back through the setup process and was asked to sign up for a free trial even though I’m logged in on the same device with same Apple ID etc. And I’m guessing I’ll probably have to set up all my routines which did take a while. Still like it and hopefully will get it resolved but worth sharing as anyone with ADHD knows that being locked out of an account and having to do a bunch of stuff to either get back in, start over or get a refund is kind of our worst nightmare 🤪

Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your experience. We apologize for the inconvenience you've faced with your account and routines. While Cub offers a free version, a premium subscription unlocks additional features. Please contact our support team at contact@cubadhd.com so we can help resolve the issue and get you back on track. We appreciate your patience and understanding. 🐼I think this is a really great app that game-ifies whathever tasks I want to add. I have ADHD and it’s helped me a lot. However the things that you can purchase with the bamboo you earn are a little lackluster. It would be so cool to be able to earn outdoor scenery and adventures for your animal, like a backdrop of a trip to Paris, Tokyo, giant redwoods, snorkeling etc. Also earning a different type of animal instead of a Panda: koala, polar bear, tiger, cat, rabbit, etc would be really motivating. Hats, flags, snacks, swag would also be great items to buy with bamboo. I think the rugs and furniture are meh. Thank for the app and for reading this review.

If you have more suggestions or need any assistance, feel free to contact us at contact@cubadhd.com. 🐼🌟I love using Cub I myself find it helpful and have had genuine life improvements and positive self reflection thanks to cub! I have However came across a handful of bugs with both decorating and mainly the self reflection options.
Sometimes the furniture like the lamp will originally stand well in frame where it’s suppose to be but when I switch to see if theirs another one I’d rather have it’ll like become smaller and morph into a desk that’s set up or the bed. So I wish that would be fixed.
With the reflection options sometimes when I click on an option it just won’t load? it’ll pull up a blank white panel even if I reload the game it won’t pop up correctly. I have tried where i tapped on other reflections and then the one I want and it works but that’s still kinda inconvenient and makes the app less appealing.
I look forward to more bug fixes :)

Hey thank you so much for the review and we are glad you are enjoying cub! Do you mind emailing us at contact@cubadhd.com so we can dive into these bugs you are having?I’ve only been using the app for a day or so- it’s got some cool features. I’m mostly interested in seeing my goals, more than the extra features. I noticed my music kept stopping when I use the app which is problematic for anyone who listens to music while multitasking. I wrote the developers on a Sunday and they responded a couple hours later, promising a fix within a week. that’s EXCELLENT support and I look forward to seeing how this app evolves, knowing they truly prioritize the end-user experience. I ended up buying the subscription because I really appreciate the fact that they listened to my comment, and I hated seeing the “gift” ad on the screen. Well worth it for the low annual cost! I look forward to using this app consistently and bettering myself! Cheers!
