Better uses illustrated, dreamlike environments to visualize your progress. * You think about your life in metaphoric, even mythic ways. That's the world of Better. "This app isn’t for everyone.

It's amazing that watching yourself get closer and higher up a mountain can motivate you. ### 5/5 — Very well done app *2015-04-21, version 2.3* I love the notes feature. The app is fluid and enjoyable to use. ### 5/5 — Wonderful Concept. Perfect Implementation. *2015-03-08, version 2.2* I adore this product. It's exactly what it needs to be, and exactly as concept. Because of it I have begun learning something almost everyday. From theoretical physics to aeronautics. I treasure each step up the mountain I take and the satisfaction of logging in what I did and taking a picture. I can't wait to reach the summit and look back on all I have accomplished. I only have one request. Please please please PLEASE make more journey environments. I would love for each journey I take to have a slightly different mountain range to climb and explore to compliment the varied goals I am trying to accomplish. I just think it would really make this something I and other people could use for a long time. I fear I will tire of the same journey every time. I would love to have a little variety. Even if it's just a color scheme change! That would be fine. I thank you. ### 5/5 — Diamond in the rough. *2014-11-27, version 2.2* Few apps are this good. There's another app like this (not competitive with) called Forests which is also brilliant. Buying all in-app purchases because these guys deserve to get paid. 💯 ### 5/5 — Minimal *2014-10-05, version 2* It's a beautiful app. I like how it is not simply based on numbers but a quest. I have a very bad habit and I have just begun to use this app. This is the only one that has encouraged me to stop doing my bad habit because I am eager to know what is at the end of this quest. Thank you for making this app. ### 3/5 — need focus on the users path *2014-10-01, version 2* Ir Is a Great motivator to see the cool arts, but the main idea is to show my path as a user. I'd like the signs to be automatically opened as I scroll, showing my text and photo directly. Today, I have to click one time on the sign, and then click on my text or photo. I just want to scroll and see it all as I review my path. ### 5/5 — Wonderful way to encourage yourself! *2014-09-30, version 2* This app shows you your progress over the course of days or weeks-- and then you can revisit the journey at any time to remind yourself how far you've come. The photo feature is also useful for capturing how you feel at the moment you take the next "step." ### 5/5 — It is very motivating! *2014-09-27, version 2* I love this app! It is different from those checklists or reminders. This app's design triggers my internal motive and keeps me doing the things of my plan. Everyone should have this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-09-11, version 1.4* Love how you only have to open the app and it will record your journey. I've tried many different habit apps, but found them to be a chore rather than beneficial. THIS app is perfect for me. For me, focusing on one this is great, and I don't see myself wanting to do more than one, but I can see how being able to do multiple journeys may benefit others. That would be a great feature to see on upcoming updates. Great work. Beautiful app. ### 5/5 — Really awesome app! *2014-08-13, version 1.4* Helped me do my morning run straight for 21 days!
