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. ### 2/5 — Language *2026-06-19* You don’t have a Russian language ### 2/5 — I did not like it *2026-06-10* 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 ### 3/5 — Crashing *2026-05-23* 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. ### 3/5 — Great app, though some situations don't feel like they are applicable to the available tools. *2025-12-08* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We understand the importance of having effective task management features, especially for users with ADHD. Your suggestions about improving short-term task listings, reminder settings, and visual checklists are incredibly valuable. We're working on enhancing these areas to provide a more supportive and user-friendly experience. Please know that your input is crucial to our development process, and if you have any more suggestions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team. We’re here to help make the app work better for you. ### 1/5 — Useless unless you pay 19.99 *2025-09-03, version 1.3.0* Just wanted to get an idea and was told this was a good free resource to start. ### 2/5 — Marketing and Sales Downgrade *2025-08-09, version 1.2.29* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and no support *2025-07-08* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and I'm truly sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had with our app. This isn't the level of service we strive to provide, and we apologize for the lack of response from our support team. Please try contacting us again or ensure that your emails were sent to the correct address. We're committed to resolving the issue with task addition and addressing your concerns promptly, including facilitating any necessary refunds. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our service. ### 1/5 — A paywalled copy of the original Goblin Tools app… *2025-05-22* Don’t be fooled, this is just a copy of the Goblin Tools app! And they have the audacity to charge a €22/year subscription for an app that originally has a single purchase price of €2 and can also be used for free on the website. They added a little questionnaire at the beginning, and reworked the appearance but it’s essentially the same thing. Don’t get this app, get the original one. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We apologize if our app did not meet your expectations or if there was any confusion regarding its value compared to other versions. Our app is designed to build upon the original Goblin Tools concept by offering additional features and enhancements, which may include exclusive content and support. We are committed to providing a high-quality experience and continuous improvements. Your input is invaluable in helping us refine our offerings. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to our support team. ### 1/5 — Would be good if I could try *2025-04-09* 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. 😞 **Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We understand your desire for a more extended trial or limited version to better evaluate the app’s features. Your suggestion to have a sample of each feature is noted, and we're considering options to make the app more accessible and informative before committing to a subscription. We appreciate your interest and patience, and we're committed to providing a satisfying user experience. If you have any other suggestions or need assistance, feel free to connect with our support team. ### 1/5 — Fausse app *2025-04-09* Imitation de la vraie app Goblin tools **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour.

Nous nous engageons à offrir une expérience de haute qualité pour nos utilisateurs. Si vous avez des questions ou souhaitez discuter davantage, n'hésitez pas à contacter notre équipe de support.

Frustrating to use and not as effective. Disappointing. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations compared to the original version. Our goal is to provide an improved experience, and we're actively working to incorporate more useful features based on user feedback. We appreciate your input and suggestion to enhance the app’s effectiveness. If there are specific features you would like to see or improvements you suggest, please let us know. We value your insights as we continue to improve. ### 2/5 — This app doesn’t work *2025-03-20* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Not great *2025-02-19* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the integration between features hasn't been smooth and that the functionality hasn't met your expectations compared to the original version. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and our team is working on improving how tasks are managed and interact across the app. Your input is valuable in helping us make these enhancements. If you have more suggestions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We appreciate your patience and support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Copycat *2026-07-23* Do not get! This is not the real Goblin tool. The legit one is by Skyhook. Thankfully I looked into both apps. ### 1/5 — App and trial. *2026-06-25* 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. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-14, version 1.3.3* 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 ### 1/5 — Never got past “free trial” *2026-02-08* 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? ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-01-13* The real Goblin Tools is by Skyhook, it is better, and it is free! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

That’s manipulative. ### 1/5 — 3-day trial *2025-12-11* 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 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the trial prompt.

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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. To cancel your free trial, please go to your App Store account settings and manage your subscriptions.

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. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback, und es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie Probleme mit der App erlebt haben. Die Situation, die Sie beschreiben, ist sicherlich nicht das, was wir für unsere Nutzer wollen.

Es ist uns wichtig, dass unsere Nutzer zufrieden sind, und wir hoffen, Ihnen dabei helfen zu können. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Geduld. ### 1/5 — COPY OF THE REAL APP *2025-09-16* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for any confusion. Our app aims to offer unique features and enhancements tailored to user needs and is independently developed. We understand your concerns about pricing and are committed to providing value through continuous updates and improvements.

Some family features & parental control of task or multiple lists with list delegation would be amazing as would the ability for a speaker next to each task & sub task to press & it says what is written to help those who can’t read or struggle to comprehend written instructions. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed feedback!
