### 1/5 — Danger, privacy and security risk

*2021-10-22*

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

### 1/5 — Pasting My clipboard

*2020-11-03*

That is very sus

### 1/5 — Very Broken

*2020-10-12*

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

### 4/5 — Great App For Tracking Habits

*2020-02-02*

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.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2019-04-19*

Would prefer an option to pay to remove ads

### 4/5 — Decent

*2018-12-26*

If you are looking for a simple, online way to track your progress with xeffect, this will work fine. It feels a little clunky, but it’s fairly simple to use and will do the bare minimum.

### 5/5 — Helpful and easy to use!

*2018-12-04, version 1.5.1*

I never really write reviews for apps but I had to for this one. It’s a very useful and easy app if you’re trying to break or start a habit.
