Never got past “free trial”

I wanted to use this for three days to see if I wanted to purchase, but the free three day trial does nothing except tell you in order to do anything I need to purchase. Oh, it also has notifications to remind me to purchase. How am I supposed to know if I like it if I can’t try it?

Questions

I can’t use the app unless I provide personal info (I. E. age) so I deleted it. That’s manipulative.

Great app, though some situations don't feel like they are applicable to the available tools.

It needs a better way of listing short term tasks. Things that don't need to be repeated. I currently can't set a reminder for tomorrow without it also listing under today. I tried to change the start and end date to the same date, and also making an entirely new reminder. I also can't pick a specific time to be reminded. Why am I being reminded (right after booking) at 11:45pm the night before I booked the reminder for?

It also needs a better way of acknowledging what has and hasn't been done, maybe make it optional to allow the user to check items off or not for each task? It would be great if some were just a visual checklist and some were there to keep track of more complicated information.

It seems like minor stuff, but seeing as this is an app for people with ADHD, you should know it is incredibly important for nervous system regulation to be able to see the progress you're making visually. Otherwise the ADHD brain doesn't fully realize accomplishment so they feel like they haven't done anything which can discourage someone to the point of giving up entirely on that task.

Terrible

This is a scam!!! The app does not work at all and there’s no way to cancel the free trial. I signed up for the three day trial, used it for 30 minutes and decided it does not work. there is no way for me to cancel that free trial and no way to send an email via the contact Page.

COPY OF THE REAL APP

Disappointed to realise this is a copy of the original Goblin Tools app which is Forever Free app. Pretty much an exact copy, logo and all, with different slightly UI but not free.
I’ll be deleting my account with this.

Useless unless you pay 19.99

Just wanted to get an idea and was told this was a good free resource to start.

Surprisingly Helpful!

I was skeptical at first, but Goblin Tools has genuinely helped me stay more organized. I love the tone checker — I use it for emails at work all the time. A little buggy once or twice, but updates seem to be improving things!

Marketing and Sales Downgrade

I purchased the other app Goblin Tools on here and I can’t recall how much it was but it was a small amount - $2.99 or so. I liked the UI but was displeased in the lack of breadth of the app’s ability and therefore was happy to find this tool. It begins by asking you a bunch of questions and then makes you create a username and password and only then does it say “hey, you can only use these features if you subscribe and pay.” I find this patently scummy and I will never support a company that does this.

Doesn’t work and no support

Paid for the app, couldn’t add tasks as needed. Emailed for support twice-no reply and no refund therefore useless app and a waste of money. Use the free Goblin Tools app instead. Very dissatisfied, understandably.

would recommend

I used this as a website, forgot about it, happy to rediscover as an app. The tools are very useful for the scenarios they’re geared to.
Also, the indescribable joy I felt when they had Latin as a language option. Gratias tibi ago, amo spectare linguam Latinam et pauci habet id.

Would be good if I could try

I love the idea of this app, but a limited version to just test the app would be great. Even if it’s just a test of one of each feature. Ie. 1 day of tasks, 1 recipe finder, 1 tone checker etc.

I don’t feel like a 3 day free trial is sufficient as I’d prefer to see what the app can offer me before signing up. I would forget to unsubscribe if I didn’t find the app helpful.

But everything I type in just pops up a paywall. 😞

Pretty but useless

This version looks beater than the original but is missing some of the features that made the original one good.
Frustrating to use and not as effective.
Disappointing.

This app doesn’t work

The tasks I put in task helper kept disappearing, and none of them showed up on the home page or the calendar. Many other features don’t show up when I tap on them. I bought the lifetime subscription and now I never want to use this app. Not helpful for ADHD.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the issues you've encountered with the task helper and other features. This is not the experience we aim to provide, especially for users looking for ADHD support. Please contact our support team so that we can address these problems directly and work towards a resolution. We value your feedback and are committed to improving the app to better meet your needs.

Not great

The features do not work well with each other. Putting multiple tasks in ideas and switching over to task helper causes all of them to stay batched together instead of being split. Not as good as the OG.

Responsive developer

This is very useful for me. I also suggested a feature, and the developer responded to me, then added the feature in the next update! Very nice to be heard.
