Awesome
Wonderful app, great for the soul
Ugly and overwhelming but works
The app is very ugly to look at, honestly. Most of the stuff here looks AI generated, and a lot of the writing sounds AI generated. This is very disappointing. I know this app was around before generative AI, so I don’t understand why they had to replace so much of their work with AI generated stuff. Other than the AI, the layout of the app is simply ugly and unappealing, especially the little white mascot. The app is very overwhelming to look at too, constant pop ups and so much stuff everywhere. This is not a good feature for an app focusing on getting things together, and you should do better. Regardless, this does seem like a good plan that will seem to work, and if any other app had this, I would use it instead of this one.

I hate the animations
Great app. Been using paid version for three years now.
Giving 1 star for three huge issues:
1. the animations, you CANNOT turn them off, they are so long and numerous and annoying.
2. The constant push to use other apps.
3. The drain of the battery if you forget to kill the app once you’re done with your routines

Misleading subscription design – particularly concerning for an app targeting ADHD and burnout
I downloaded Fabulous after being specifically targeted with advertising suggesting it could help with ADHD and burnout. Unfortunately, my experience of the app has been the opposite.
The set-up process feels deliberately designed to blur the line between simply progressing through onboarding and committing to additional paid subscriptions. I was repeatedly presented with what appeared to be “next steps”, only to find they were actually one-click subscription commitments to additional services/apps. For something specifically marketed towards people who may already struggle with overwhelm, attention and executive function, I find this particularly troubling.
Once subscribed, figuring out exactly what I had signed up for and how to cancel was a complicated maze. The sheer number of prompts, offers and additional subscription opportunities made the whole experience feel less like onboarding and more like a carefully designed sales funnel.
Having gone through all of that, what I seem to have ended up with is essentially a very expensive reminder to drink water.
I appreciate that subscription apps need to make money, but users should understand clearly when they are making a purchase, what they are purchasing and how much it will cost. In my experience, that clarity was completely lacking.
I would like the subscriptions I inadvertently signed up for through this process cancelled and the charges refunded. I would strongly encourage Fabulous to reconsider an onboarding and payment design that feels particularly inappropriate given the audience it is actively targeting.
