Danger, privacy and security risk

Works fine but steals info from my clipboard. Very uncool. Straight up deceptive and thieving.

Pasting My clipboard

That is very sus

Very Broken

Sadly, this app hasn't been updated in 2 years and it's very broken. I lost all my notes I wrote in a card I'd been working on for 14 days. Which saddens me greatly. After the app glitched, it's not functional at all. I'll have to switch to a much more reliable way of tracking my progress. Don't make the mistake I made <3

Great App For Tracking Habits

If you are looking for a simple and effective way to track habits with the x-effect this is the best one I have found. I really like the simple layout which allows me to clearly track my habits, which I have found really helpful with motivation. I don’t want to leave boxes blank, and looking back on the days that I completed feels really good. With that being said the app does have a few problems. It is a little glitchy at times, and the way you edit information could use a little bit of improvement. Overall though it’s a great app, wish I could give it a 4.5. But I would definitely recommend it if you want help tracking/developing good habits and need some extra motivation.
