Doesn’t work

It used to work just has a blank screen of the days of the week it tells you what it does but it’s of no use

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for the feedback. You should see a 13 week chart that lets you track your virtues as you progress through the weeks, starting with temperance. Can you tell me if you see the chart with at least one day of Temperance available to mark? Or do you see a completely blank screen? It sounds like you’ve been using the app so any feedback you can provide, along with any additional details (iPhone or iPad model, OS version) will help me to improve the app or fix any bugs.

Excellence

Resolved a lot in my life.

Ben's virtues

I like it just the way it is. One virtue at a time.

Love it!

I love this app. I didn’t realize how full of faults I was until I started using this. I genuinely believe it will help you grow as a person. Ben was a wise fellow.

Missing just one feature

This app has all the features I want for my journal, but I wish I could set when my start day is. I want to transfer my paper journal to this app, instead of having to time when so download/reset the app.
