Fantastic Service
Not working
Has issues - use the website
Upon using the app, it was taking forever to load and add a data point. I wasn’t sure it went through so I did it again but turns out they both did. But that was only clear on the web version.
Overall the app and site could use some modernization.
Ultra praktisch, Super Kundenservice
Außerdem wurde ich über die App zur Kontaktaufnahme zum Beeminder-Support aufgefordert. Tatsächlich wurde mir richtig gut geholfen, die Mitarbeiter haben nach Möglichkeiten gesucht meinen Use Case mit Beeminder zu ermöglichen. Hab die App seit einer Woche und bin sehr happy damit 👍🏼

Useless - You have to do almost everything on their website
Signing up, payment, add/manage goals, all have to be done on their website, you can’t do it on the app.
Beeminder is the BEST
While the mobile app struggles a bit with refreshing data that is autogenerated from sources like Gmail and Toggl, it’s a helpful companion that I use mostly early in the day to check what goals I need to focus on that day. The full site is better, in my opinion, but I know the developers are working hard, so I’ll be patient, as I’m sure I’ll be using Beeminder for the rest of my life.
NOTE: if you have ADHD, this app is a must-have!
Nothing worked. Until I found this.
Good but minimal features
Also, the home menu isn’t really useful if you only use one beeminder graph
Great
Can you please add back the button to trigger url minder to check the word count again? I now can only do that through the website.
live by the bee, die by the bee
Other than that, great app. I like that it's simple and not flashy -- it doesn't need to be slick or addictive; it just needs to work well for data entry and checking on my goals, which it does. Like a lot of Beeminder users I have ADHD, and historically I have sucked at doing normal life tasks due to executive dysfunction; Beeminder is the first of *many* apps, systems, and strategies I've tried that's actually gotten me to (among other things) consistently brush + floss my teeth every day and shower on a regular basis without intervention from a Real Adult.
One of my essential apps
Motivates you to reach your goals
The principle makes it not for everyone, but if it works for you then it really pushes you to be a better self.
One of the best productivity apps I used in my life
One of the things I love about Beeminder is its unique approach to goal-setting. Rather than simply setting a goal and hoping to achieve it, Beeminder helps you stay on track by imposing financial consequences if you fail to meet your targets. This might sound harsh, but it's actually a very effective way to keep yourself motivated and accountable.
Another great feature of Beeminder is its integration with other apps and services. For example, you can connect Beeminder to your fitness tracker or to-do list app, and it will automatically track your progress and update your goals accordingly.
Overall, I highly recommend Beeminder to anyone who wants to take their goal-setting to the next level. Whether you're trying to get in shape, learn a new skill, or simply stay organized, Beeminder can help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
Incredibly useful
One reason this works is that humans are naturally highly loss averse – I have caught myself spending an hour working on a project that I really wanted to do, but the initial spark was a desire to avoid paying $5. The end result is a profound satisfaction with what Beeminder helped me accomplish.
I’ve used Beeminder for many years, and I’ve really embraced the idea that, as the app’s creators write, “Paying is not punishment.” Far from cheating it’s users, Beeminder is helping its users be true to themselves.
