Actually helps - brought clarity
I came across this app on Reddit and gave it a try. I couldn’t think of a problem to put in to “test” it, so I went with the biggest problem in my life - one I have been pondering a long time.
Anyway, the app was really easy to use and understand. I began putting in the pros and cons and didn’t have to think about how to use the program, I could just focus on my thought process.
I also like that there are some visuals along the way without showing the result the whole time - for example, I noticed my screen was full of green “pro” items when i started inspiring pros and cons and that made me reconsider if I was blowing the negatives out of proportion. In the end, I felt like the app gave me a nice way to think about things more objectively. And since it seems to save your work, I can go back and review later on.
I have used other pro/con apps before and they felt like a calculator. This feels more like a helpful thought guide.
I bought the premium upgrade and hope the developer continues to refine the process without losing what works.
One minor gripe: on my iPhone 11 Pro, I have a hard time sliding the “importance” slider. I don’t know if it’s because the element is a pop-over window or what, but instead of the slider going from left to right, the whole UI panel slides up and down. I hope there is an improvement with this in future.
Thanks again to the developer for this helpful app!

Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback! I'll consider your change wishes concerning the "importance" slider in upcoming versions.
Excellent decision maker
I had done something similar with a spreadsheet but it’s not very easy to use on a phone. Enter Decisly! Simple design, easy to understand, versatile to cover different types if decisions. The UI will no doubt improve from what is already a very capable proposition. “Arguments”, the factors that affect the decision, could be made to be common to all options in the decision, or applicable to only one option (at the moment, arguments are always entered manually for all options). Tweaking arguments for each option (where you test extremes in your decision) could be made easier, rather than going through an edit from the start. But these are all minor things in what is a surprisingly valuable app! I’ll also add that the developer listens to constructive criticism and is not afraid to make brave decisions if they make sense. Impressive!

Bad
The £4.99 in app purchase is so overpriced for what it is, even if it was £1 is would still be bad. The selection of importance is terrible and should be typed out . Way too much work for small decisions, so the creator says this is for big decisions like buying a house , but this is just not enough for those important decisions. Bad user experience.
Other apps can do a lot more , and without the need of £5
