Talk about ADHD tax

This app is set up to auto renew and is very difficult to cancel. I’ve been trying to get it fully cancelled for over a year now and am still getting charged not just for myself, but for both of my kids. Considering that it’s for people with ADHD, it feels unethical to have this process be so difficult. Buyer beware!!!

Not good for iOS 12

I went on the app and after like 10 seconds of being on the app it crashed!

I wanted to love it

I wanted to love this app, but it’s just too buggy and frustrating

Love the idea. Execution needs work.

I love the idea of the app and its features. Unfortunately it is super buggy and more of a pain to use than not use.

Fee Rates

For an app to be as pronounced as claimed, I would’ve hoped I’d get to at least try it and find out if it works for me. I got through the “demo,” demonstrating how the app is used, and then it wants me to pay. Kind of a let down, just saying. I’m sorry not everyone can afford it, otherwise I think it would’ve been an efficient tool, but don’t take my word since I didn’t actually get to experience the app 🤷🏼‍♀️

Unusable

Full of bugs. Won’t even allow me to create a task.

cool & all, but THE TIMER feature 😮

So many neat features, but the timer is amazing! You can set the # of intervals, # of minutes you want to work, then the # of minutes you want ur breaks. With all its popularity, I’ve never found the perfect pomodoro timer but this is it.

Learning

I love how I can learn about different topics, generate to do lists, and track my progress, all on one app.

PLEASE MAKE A TO-DO list widget!!

I just got the app so I’m not that familiar but it’s nice so far. Take a look at the Duolingo streak widget that one is helpful for seeing if I have checked in and the Apple reminders app has a great widget for the list

Love it!

This ADHD app has everything I could ask for! I love the study/work timers, daily check-ins on habits and/or symptoms and the ability to track them over time, and the brain teasers that link to peer reviewed articles if you want to dive in even further!
This app is well thought out and worth the purchase!

LOVE

this is one of my fave apps for organization and productivity and prob my fave for ADHD! I like the categories they have and the brain teasers & info! Also the way it’s structured is nice, not too overwhelming on any given day. I like that you can go ahead but that there’s just one question and / or of each prompt like the water stuff or the brain teasers n yeah idk not explaining well too low spoons but love this app & love Dr. Sasha!

Hopeful, but buggy & limited

The app was stuck for me the first several times I tried to access. After canceling my subscription (too late 😒 thanks ADHD) reaching out to support and finally hearing back, I re-installed. Now I’m just not finding much use or getting much out of the app. But I’ll remain hopeful! 🤷

notifications

i love the app a lot its really helped me but the one down side is that there aren't notifications for the to do list bc i forget to check the app so its not worth paying for it when i forget to use it - i do love how the app works and everything else about it i just need to get a bunch of reminders for my to do list so that it actually gets finished

Very helpful

Incredibly helpful for managing overwhelming to do lists. A widget would be useful too.

Helpful app for adhd

I’ve really enjoyed using the to do list especially because if a task is not completed it automatically rolls over to the next day so I do not forget tasks as often. I love that in the moment I can add to my list whereas with paper lists I would think of something in the go then forget by the time I was around my paper list. The learning modules can be nice as well. I do wish the app worked more consistently. At least a few times a month it will open but I cannot get it to respond.

Update: I love how responsive and thoughtful the customer service is in regards to the one issue I’ve had. They instructed me via email to reinstall the app which so far has solved the issue

Crashes constantly

I enjoyed using the app at first but for the past month or more it freezes and I am unable to do anything. Very disappointed in what I thought would be an incredibly helpful app.

What the heck

I downloaded the app and started the free trial. I was super excited because I’ve been in a bit of a slump at work and I thought it’d really help my productivity but the app isn’t working at all. I can’t click on anything or even scroll. What the heck. This was supposed to be my saving grace 😩

Coming back and trying again

Came back to try again, and still experiencing app ending bugs.

My main beef now revolves around the Pomo/focus timer.

Resets if you are in another app for too long, then you age to reset the entire thing.

Doesn’t notify or keep the timer active unless you stay in the app.

Completely defeating the purpose of it being a phone app.

Tried to use this for work and constantly had to reset the timer ..

Why hasn’t this been fixed after almost 6 months past release ?

Pretty Great!

So far I do like the app, it’s clearly created by someone who understands ADD/ADHD! My only complaint would be the fonts are so tiny it’s hard to read sometimes. Wish I could log in from a computer instead of my Apple phone, for a bigger screen. I hope they fix this, it’s a game changer.
