Great app

I am loving the app so far and great customer service.

Amazing App

Worth the price I love having a little widget on my lock screen reminding me of important life events!

Great App, would be complete with Mac/iPad/iOS/watch apps.

Very Well Designed in general

Response from developer

Hi there, macOS and iPadOS apps are coming along with the Apple Watch app! I work alone on this so it takes time and I want to make sure they add value, not simply the iOS app in a bigger screen. But they are coming over the next months for sure :)

Love it

Really happy with this app so far. Love the minimalistic design, widgets look insanely great on my home screen and fit in pretty good. It’s easy to use and really helpful. And the developer actually listens to feedback too.

It’s made me think more about how I spend my time. I’ve actually been scrolling less haha

Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you find you useful and let me know if you have any issues in the future :)

Keeps asking for money

I’ve already paid 2x to be a ‘Pro’ member (lifetime subscription) and now they want more money $89 to be a “premium” member to get the same functionality! Don’t waste your money on this developer he always wants more money.

The dev keeps acting like it’s user error in every comment complaining about his charging model. This has nothing to do with me not using ‘Restore purchase’ it’s the developer changing the plans and now the previous plans I’ve already paid for are superseded by his new ‘Premium’ plan. Greedy.

Hi there, You do not have to pay again! If you already paid do not pay again, just tap on Restore Purchases on the payment screen and will unlock everything for you. Sometimes the iPhone doesn’t recognize a previous purchase but as long as you press that button it should detect it. If you still have issues or have paid double, please send me an email to cristianrus4@gmail.com and I will personally sort it out for you. I hope this is understandable and let me reiterate, you do not have to buy anything new! Thanks,

When a developer changes direction and creates bloatware.

When I installed this app it was just for the feature of have a graphical representation of days left to an end point. Unfortunately successive versions have added nag screens and a flotilla of flotsam which I am not really interested in. So unless there’s a change in future updates I will be looking to remove it.

I look forward to seeing the snarky response from the developer. Let me save you the trouble because I don’t really care.

Don’t delete and reinstall

I deleted it and now can’t get past the subscription add

Doesn't even have an iPad or Mac app

And wants us to pay a subscription, makes me regret buying at the first place

Used to have free features

Not anymore. 1 star.

Response from developer

Hi there, This is Cristian, the maker of Left. The app is my main source of income, and I spend hundreds of hours working on it to keep it updated, add new features, and polish every detail. I’m sorry if you expected the app to be free, but unfortunately, I can’t afford to offer it that way. That said, I’d like you to experience the app fully. Please email me at cristianrus4@gmail.com, and I can arrange a free period of the Premium features for you :) Best, Cristian

Stop asking me to review your app

…and let me use it instead!

No trial

Behind pay wall, unable to even try it.

Amazing app!

From the first download the experience feels premium! Honestly such a sobering way to visualize your life!

Very nice

My girlfriend got mad at me for having the lifespan widget on my Home Screen… good thing Left has tons of other bangers.

I’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s become one of those little apps I genuinely like having around. The widgets are thoughtful, look great, and add a really nice touch to the Home Screen without feeling gimmicky.

Thank you! Lifespan widget can be a controversy sometimes haha. I’m glad you find the app so useful, your support genuinely means a lot to me :)

From a great app to nagware

I paid the one time supporters fee. Now there’s a new version. I opened it and 3 times it demanded I pay a bucket of money. No thanks! Disappointing to see this once great app go down this road. Now I’m looking for alternatives.

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. 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,

Time finally feels visible with this!

Really love seeing how much of the day and week I still have left instead of just jumping between habit apps. Habits, countdowns, and my planner all sit together so the day feels calmer and easier to follow.

Paywall

Everything seems behind a paywall

Very convenient

I love this app and will continue to support.

Amazing app!!!!

Can't believe how beautiful and useful is this app, seriously worth every penny

Not all widgets are working!

This app was so close to being exactly what I needed but it’s broken. The widgets for tracking habits and streaks are not working. When prompted to select a habit, none of the habits I created are populated in the drop down field.

I never pay for apps and I never leave reviews, but I paid for this one so needless to say I am very disappointed and would like to see this issue fixed!!
