Updates bugging to

I have had this app for some time and use the widgets. I don’t interact with it a bunch. But I liked it and I even paid for an in-app purchase a year ago for it to support indie devs.

But recently, it keeps bugging me to upgrade *again*. Despite already have paid for the app a year and some change ago.

Started as a great, well designed simple app. That was the appeal. Grow and grown and now kind of bugging me to upgrade like any other app.

Hi Jovial, You do not have to upgrade! A few of the new features require an upgrade because they have a cost of usage unfortunately. However if you’re not interested you can simply hide those features and they will never bother you again. If you still have issues, please send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com and I will help you with it to sort it out. Best, Cristian

Great app created by great developer

Left is a multi-purpose app with a singular goal: to help you build the best version of yourself.

You can visualize how much time left you have to accomplish your goals. You can create streaks to help you track how much progress you’ve made with good habits. You can use the planner tool to remind yourself of important events.

Those are only a fraction of the features that the app has. It’s a modern, fast app with a beautiful design by a solo developer who cares about feedback and listens to users. Highly recommend to those who are looking to track their best habits, eliminate their worst ones, and are committed to achieving their highest potential.

Wow! Thank you so, so, so much for your kind words! You described so well Left and my goal with it, so glad that is useful for you! :)

Great app

It’s a very good app, it’s in my favorite top

Bugs I guess

Paid for the subscription but the widgets still lagging not able to click my streak or ahead in anything for my widgets on my Home Screen so I’m just stuck with the general options nothing customized to me

Really enjoy this app!

Edited: Updated to 5 stars. Cristian explained the situation and gave a link for the discounted price. Stand up developer and can’t wait to see how things grow!


Original: I’ve had this app almost since its release and purchased plus to support the developer.

I would purchase premium if the numbers added up. It offers 60% off premium for being an early supporter, but the discount price as $49.99. The regular new lifetime price is $69.99… math ain’t mathing. The discounted price should be $28.

Shoot I wouldn’t have even said anything if it was close at $29.99.

Might want to update the wording in the app from 60% off or fix it to the right price for early supporters.

It’s good but has minor issues

Can’t move the image how you want when making a background, and moves the image slightly to the left. Over all good though. I find the streaks and habits confusing but that’s a me issue. Giving a certain time for the lifetime purchase isn’t too fun. But I really enjoy the app , I like how I can keep track of things I’m trying to do and really visualize them. It is also good for helping me keep track of them and deadlines

Hi there, Thank you for using Left and for your feedback! Please update the app to the latest version (v2026.8.2) and there is fixed already the image background. Now it allows you to move it and edit it before adding it. In terms of streaks and habits, I’m working constantly on improving it, especially the creation of. you will see already some improvements with this last update and on the next one will be even easier, by just describing in natural language what you want to achieve and how (for example “Run at least 20 miles every week, started 1st May and remind me every day at 9am”) and the app will set it up for you. Finally, if you haven’t got the discount because the time finished, just send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com and i’ll sort it out for you :) Best, Cristian

Dishonest developer

I found out just AFTER the purchase, that ios26 is required to use the streaks.

Cool app; change to subscription

I don’t like that I already paid for the app when there was no subscription and now I keep getting pop-ups to purchase a subscription. Very annoying and the entire move leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Response from developer

Hi there, You do not have to pay again! All the Plus features are still there, will be forever and even more will come in future updates. Just make sure to restore purchases if your purchase is not recognized automatically. Please send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com if after you still have any issues. The new Premium option is for features that have an ongoing cost for me (Friends, sync on the Cloud and Planner). Unfortunately the cost per year of use is way higher than the previous price of the app in the early days, I would simply go bankrupt if I enable them for every previous user. I hope this is understandable and let me reiterate, you do not have to buy anything new! If you have any issues please send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com and I will help you sort it out. Thanks,

Fantastic App !!!

Everyone, this app is phenomenal. I am a very particular user and I don’t usually use apps which is not perfect in the way I would want it to be. But trust me on this, this is exceptional. The widgets are very beautiful and minimalistic, which enhances the look of your device and they are equally informative as well. The app interface is simple and easy to use and the date tracker section is very helpful. I was using a different habit tracker earlier but now have shifted to Left completely. And the price is totally worth it. In fact I’d say you’re get stuff that’s worth more than the price you’re paying. Getting so many different functions in a single app is very rare and Left has done it. The developer is extremely helpful and friendly and he responded to my queries promptly and satisfactorily.
Absolutely go for it.

Hi! Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. I’m really glad to hear that Left fits your high standards. Thank you for recommending Left, and I’m here if you ever need anything else :)

Perfect for tracking goals through time

Great support team too

Great original concept but now with too much feature bloat

I liked the original concept of the app, so much so that I paid for it- but now the app is full of all sorts of other features that feel unnecessary, even games, and I also have to pay for them another time??

I understand maybe adding habits, and the "ahead" and "since" features sound nice (but aren't included in what I originally bought?), but now there's all these other "features" that feel unnecessary for what this app was, not to mention having to pay another time to get them.

It just feels like this app has lost sight of what it was trying to be and is now adding lots of extra stuff that feels like it should be an entirely different app.

Hi there, Left is an app around the idea of time and how to become a better version of yourself making the most of it. The good part is that you can customize the app to be whatever you want. From 'Settings > Choose your tools' you can select which options to see and which ones to hide, so if you prefer not to use the new features you can simply hide them. In terms of having to pay again, you do not have to pay again! All the Plus features are still there, will be forever and even more will come in future updates. Just make sure to restore purchases if your purchase is not recognized automatically. The new Premium option is for features that have an ongoing cost for me (Friends, sync on the Cloud and weather for Planner among others). Unfortunately the cost per year of use is way higher than the previous price of the app in the early days, I would simply go bankrupt. I hope this is understandable and let me reiterate, you do not have to buy anything new! If you have any issues please send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com and I will help you sort it out. Thanks,

LOVE THE APP

It’s great

Great App!

Great app, does exactly what I need. Quick question, does anyone know how to make the widget clear? Like liquid glass?

Again, love the app.

Great app great customer service

This app is a great concept for keeping track of goals. On top of this, the customer service has been unmatched from a team of 1. I don’t usually write reviews, but it is the least I can do for this masterpiece!

scam

I bought pro in early days and the delevoper wants more money to sell us another pro version

Elegant app with outstanding support

I like the simplicity and design of the app and how the experience and features continue to improve. I also appreciate how prompt and responsive the developer is to any of my feedback. I think it was worth it to become a lifetime premium member.

Really really great!!!

If you are in the market for a beautiful app that can show you visually the passing of time, look no further!
The latest updates have increased the usefulness dramatically… now with calendar integration and more.
I keep finding more uses for this than I ever anticipated.
Responsive dev that listens to suggestions.

Déçu

Ça fait un moment que j’ai payé Left et avec la dernière mise a jour, on me dit que je dois repayer pour continuer d’avoir les fonctionnalités premium ?? C’est scandaleux.. tout cela avec un petit message qui offre une promo pour repayer ce qu’on a déjà payé.. incroyable

Response from developer

Merci pour votre soutien en achetant Left dès le début. La nouvelle mise à jour ajoute trois fonctionnalités majeures : la sauvegarde et synchronisation cloud, Amis, et Planificateur. Ces fonctionnalités reposent sur des services cloud qui me coûtent de l'argent à chaque utilisation, ce qui nécessite un nouveau plan tarifaire. Vous N'AVEZ PAS À PAYER DE NOUVEAU, vous conservez toutes les fonctionnalités de votre achat initial, ainsi que les futures fonctionnalités sans coût à l'usage, qui resteront accessibles aux acheteurs d'origine. En remerciement aux premiers soutiens, vous bénéficiez d'une réduction de 60 % sur le nouveau plan si vous souhaitez passer à niveau ; cela est indiqué sur la page des tarifs. Pour contexte, les prix précédents avaient été fixés à une époque où l'application se limitait à l'estompage de points. Elle a depuis évolué pour inclure des comptes à rebours, un suivi d'habitudes, des séries, des rappels, un calendrier, et plus encore, pour seulement 2 à 10 dollars en achat unique. À titre de comparaison, de nombreuses applications facturent 10 dollars par semaine pour ces fonctionnalités prises séparément. J'espère que vous comprendrez que la seule raison de cette mise à niveau payante optionnelle est de couvrir le coût des nouvelles fonctionnalités. Si vous avez encore des questions ou si vous avez besoin d’aide, veuillez m’envoyer un e-mail à cristianrus4@gmail.com Merci.
