Copycat

Do not get! This is not the real Goblin tool. The legit one is by Skyhook. Thankfully I looked into both apps.

No widgets

I do not understand it when apps that are created specially for people with ADHD don’t have a widget option. ADHD-ers commonly have problems with object permanence - meaning out of sight out of mind. So we often need widgets on our Home Screen to remind us of tasks and such. At least I do. So unfortunately, without a widget option, this app just won’t work for me.

App and trial.

I want to see how the app works but doesn’t really tell me anything. Then it gives you a 3 day trial period before it charges you. That is not enough time to see if it would even work for me or anyone else.

Language

You don’t have a Russian language

I did not like it

I download this app thinking that if I got it, maybe I’ll be able to clean my room faster and stuff, but you have to pay for everything and that makes it really frustrating cause I’m not gonna pay for that and I can’t pay for that so I was not there biggest fan of this and maybe if they didn’t have to pay for it then I would be OK having it

Crashing

I have been a fan on Goblin Tools for a long time. I have both versions. Recently the platform has been under performing. The app NO LONGER converts. It only creates a blank screen. So sad. I paid.

Scam

Fake version of real app (real is a onetime 3 dollar purchase ) and this one has a 30 dollar a month subscription, do not download

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.

3-day trial

The second I downloaded it and added a task or did literally anything it would just popped up with try our 3-day trial

I will not be trying this again

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.

Am Anfang war es interessant aber …

Leider wird man erstmal quasi zum Kauf genötigt, damit man die Tools sinnvoll nutzen kann. Okay, habe ich schweren Herzens gemacht. Dann war es einen kurzen Zeitraum wirklich klasse, bis ich plötzlich keine Aufgaben mehr hinzufügen konnte. Nichts ging mehr. Also deinstallierte ich die App. Das war ein Fehler. Ich konnte meine Käufe nicht wieder herstellen, da ich den Kauf wohl ohne hinterlegtes Konto getätigt habe. Das Geld wurde über den AppStore zwar eingezogen aber ist nun wohl nicht in der App hinterlegt. Damit konnte ich mich gleich wieder von der App verabschieden und meinem Geld wohl auch. Ich hoffe, dass ich es erstattet bekomme, da 35€ für mich eine sehr hohe Summe ist und ich sie gut investiert dachte.

Ich wünschte ich könnte dieser App mehr Sterne geben, aber sowas ist einfach blöd.

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.
