### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — App optimisation needed

*2026-06-26, version 1.1*

It’s promising but really feels like i’ve just saved the web browser as a shortcut on my phone (which is free). The way it flows and zooms as if it was a website hurts the app imo. Please optimise to feel like a more user friendly app experience rather then a website experience, which is free

### 5/5 — Tile for home page

*2026-06-04, version 1.1*

Is it possible to add a widget to the home page in my phone?

Amazing app

### 2/5 — Wish I could use it

*2026-05-28, version 1.1*

The amount of times it crashes and I have to restart may as well be a task in itself. I can’t even add things I need to do without the app crashing. How this is rated #4 in utilities is ridiculous. I bet it’s great if I could use it for more than two minutes and be able to switch between tasks, to dos, and other features. Update these issues PLEASE!

### 2/5 — It’s OK

*2026-05-25, version 1.1*

The app always has some kind of error and shuts down saying “operation error”. So technically I have yet to be able to use this app. It was a waste of money.

### 5/5 — App will pay for itself in saved stress!

*2026-05-19, version 1.1*

I have been a long time user of goblin tools and it just keeps getting better. I have often struggled with my tone in emails or reading tone in received messages. Goblin Tools allows me to brain dump all of my thoughts and turns them into something cleaner and usually nicer too! It also allows me to tone check items. 

The magic to do list helps me find my motivation and the chef helps me reduce food waste on those last few days before grocery shopping. 

I tell everyone about this app and website because it’s been so helpful for me.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-05-17, version 1.1*

Already making a difference and it’s been 5 minutes.

### 1/5 — Good program, bad app

*2026-05-16, version 1.1*

I love the program in itself as it is very helpful for my adhd however, the app version keeps shutting off when ever i click a feature to use. I tried deleting and downloading again and it still keeps happening. Im hoping this can be fixed soon.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly - not functional on IOS

*2026-06-29, version 1.1*

There does not seem to be a way to get a refund, but this app is not functional. It was a great idea, but it crashes with every request I make of it. It’s non-functional.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2026-06-19, version 1.1*

I spent hours entering data to create task lists. Only a couple days later, ALL of my data/lists gone!

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2026-06-05, version 1.1*

Paid five dollars for it and then it couldn’t open any of the tools without crashing

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-05-21, version 1.1*

I can’t use this app, every time I try to select a tool it crashes

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-05-20, version 1.1*

My inability to find recipe AIs that will just take a type list of fridge food (not clickboxes) and spin it into an entire menu  of recipes to free fridge space has been a unicorn I've been seeking forever. I hate super cook, and another ai said this was the fix for autistic people with this need.

I spent an hour painstakingly typing my entire kitchen inventory into the box, got one usable recipe and then it deleted the list. I was actually in tears .

### 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!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-07-04, version 1.1*

Literally helpful for every situation and especially burnout.

### 5/5 — Best simple AI set of tools on the internet

*2026-06-28, version 1.1*

Works for chores and managing complex work tasks

### 5/5 — Absolutely magical

*2026-06-26*

If you are neurodivergent and hangry this is the app for you. I cannot believe how magical this is. I’ve tried so many times to use the breaking down tasks method for the ADHD and would stop after writing the steps out because I had zero motivation or energy left to do the thing. Being someone who lives with chronic fatigue and is neurodivergent I can already tell this is a game-changer. The other tools are so cool! I mean being able to plug in any text and have a desired tone applied is so fricking helpful! In burnout mode I do not have the energy to mask meaning tone does not exist to me in that state. Literally life-changing! Thank you!!!!!

My only suggestion for the creators is that the action boxes be made a little bit bigger. It’s a little difficult to operate on my smol iPhone

### 5/5 — Great ADHD Tool

*2026-06-14, version 1.1*

Just started using Goblin for my daily projects/tasks for my business.  I’m elated that Goblin is helping me break the poor time management curse of my ADHD with its real time estimates.
Highly recommend for any ADHD-er out there!

### 5/5 — My favorite tool!

*2026-06-14, version 1.1*

Just as the subtitle says this is the “SMART TOOLS FOR THE NEUROSPICY.” It helps me break down everything in my life that would not get done otherwise because I struggle with initiation. Having the direction outlined for me allows me to just go! It keeps me focused on my priorities and I don’t have to worry about what the next step is because it’s already there. The feeling of certainty allows me some peace of mind for someone who struggles with structure.

### 5/5 — Hell yeah

*2026-06-12, version 1.1*

It’s not perfect, but it does the job amazingly for me regardless. I use the To-do list on the least spicy setting the most. It’s so good.

### 5/5 — Fantastic tool

*2026-06-10, version 1.1*

This tool is fantastic for people with ASD and ADHD, I have used this tool for a lot of things and it has never let me down :) highly recommend it

### 5/5 — Simple and free

*2026-06-06, version 1.1*

Thank you for keeping this tool free and easy to use. I feel like people are taking advantage of those seeking ways to make to finally live happy when all they have known was hard and exhausting

### 5/5 — Very cool!!

*2026-06-04*

Looking forward to many useful updates to make it even more practical and intuitive
