### 1/5 — Thieves and liars

*2026-08-22*

I paid for this app. It was a one time fee in 2024. Now they have deleted the proof but I still have access to the receipt proof that I paid for the app. They say I never made a purchase, but I have the Apple Store purchase receipt that I bought this app in 2024. Fast Forward for today they’re more more money hungry than they were in 2024 instead of it being a one time fee now it’s a monthly subscription. The contact support is nonexisting so now it’s a nonexisting contact support. If you need any help I used to have more respect for this app. It went from Phone to but now if it’s gonna be money hungry and it’s gonna lie and steal and rob me I don’t know. I’m very disappointed with having to leave this review. But it was very unpleasant that I could not speak to any type of contact support very disappointed that I could go back in my account and see receipts and it’s crazy that now you want more money for the same app from From then back then the app really has not changed from back then so why are we even paying extra if it’s the same app ? I feel highly disrespected. Because if I wasn’t paying attention, I would’ve paid more than once you treat me like I’m dumb

### 1/5 — Was great

*2026-08-21*

Test before release updates.  Can’t use it as it doesn’t allow me to scroll down.

### 4/5 — New version

*2026-08-20*

Recipe, keyboard blocks response after it generates recipe.

**Developer response:** Hi there!
Sorry you're having trouble! If you update your app to 2.1, this should be resolved fully.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant

*2026-08-11*

This app is absolutely amazing. I've been using it for quite a while and as an adult person with AuDHD profile it gives a lot of method and structure for any type of task, from the most complicated one to the easiest. Plus it helps me understand, with a certain degree of accuracy, also the tone of some messages when I am not sure about how to read them. It spares me a lot of stress!

### 2/5 — Bad development

*2026-08-06, version 1.1*

I really hate to write a bad review but this was a big disappointment. The app had more bugs than I can deal with. Mostly critical functionality like adding and removing list items, icons not loading in, and suddenly losing all progress. It was more frustrating to use than it would have been helpful, but I think it's a great idea if executed properly. Hoping to change my review in the future.

### 1/5 — Overwhelming

*2026-07-31, version 1.1*

Overwhelmed

### 1/5 — stole money

*2026-07-12, version 1.1*

I had never even opened the app yet, and two days after downloading it I all the sudden started receiving bills from it. Not sure how it got my information but be very cautious downloading this to your phone.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-07-04, version 1.1*

Unable to copy and paste to do list items into Magic ToDo and the “load from saved file” feature does not work.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-07-04, version 1.1*

Literally helpful for every situation and especially burnout.

### 2/5 — To do

*2026-07-03, version 1.1*

My to do list is great when it works, lately it’s been deleting things from my list without me completing the items.
