Very Good App

This app is very good and helpful. It could be better if it allowed widgets.

It’s a great help but the app has declined on quality

The app is really great and helpful . The new features are thoughtful and helpful too. But I’m really upset with the app not working properly anymore . The streak timer doesn’t work as it used to and there’s no way help from the customer support either . The ai chat box doesn’t know anything. I really request you to fix the issues asap and bring the app back to its smooth functioning. And plz install a good customer support system at an easy reach . Despite all this , you guys have done a great job helping all. Thank you and grateful for it. Will revise the starts once the issues are resolved . Cheers!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for being honest about the problems. We are sorry the streak timer has not been reliable and that support was hard to reach. We have noted both so we can improve them. We really appreciate your patience.

Great app

I think it’s a great way to keep track I just would like widgets you can put on your home screen

Minor bugs

While clicking on add days in any ongoing challenge the entire challenge gets finished. Like for for example: if i choose the 3 day challenge on 1st day and proceed to press add day on 2nd day the entire challenge gets completed even though i had completed only 2 days instead of three.

Response from developer

Thank you for the clear example! Tapping 'add day' should add a single day, not complete the whole challenge. We have noted this bug so we can fix it. Sorry for the confusion it caused with your progress.
