Hätte ich nicht

Die App hat mir echt geholfen weniger spontane Käufe zu machen. Ein automatischer Import aus Amazon wäre noch super

Response from developer

Vielen Dank dir für dein Feedback – richtig stark, dass dir die App schon geholfen hat, weniger Spontankäufe zu machen! Den automatischen Amazon-Import habe ich auf dem Schirm, das wünschen sich einige. Ich schaue gerade, wie sich das technisch umsetzen lässt, damit es für dich so bequem wie möglich wird.

Hilft mir echt gegen Kaufsucht

Die App ist echt super, um Impulskäufe besser in den Griff zu bekommen. Mir gefällt vor allem das schlichte Design und dass alles so einfach gehalten ist. Seit dem neuesten Update ist die App endlich auf Deutsch verfügbar und die strengeren Intervalle beim Warten helfen mir enorm, Entscheidungen noch mal zu überdenken. Der Circuit Breaker ist zwar ein simples Konzept, aber in der Praxis wahnsinnig effektiv.

Für die Zukunft würde ich mir noch wünschen, dass man die Wartezeit für einzelne Items flexibel verlängern kann und dass es vielleicht noch etwas ausführlichere Guides zum bewussten Shoppen gibt. Insgesamt aber eine tolle Hilfe für den Alltag.
