Hangs

I want to manage more than one app and would be glad to upgrade to Pro, but when I click to upgrade it hangs and says Restore Purchase and when I do, it doesn’t save anything. They I try again and it does the same thing.

Good simple app

The app is really simple, yet awesome. The idea is brilliant.

But the subscription is WAY too expensive.

Best app in the field

I’m in love with this app. The idea of having to type why you’re going to use the app before accessing it makes you much more intentional. I feel like I’m back in control of my digital life—I no longer open Instagram or WhatsApp automatically after finishing a task. Now I can pause and reflect on whether I really need to do that at that moment, and this has been changing my days. Much better than just blocking the app for a while is being able to reflect throughout the day on when and why to use it at that specific moment. I’m very grateful for this app. It’s truly worth using!

Terrific

Great app that stays innovative and helps you stay off your phone to focus on the more important things in life. I’ve used it since approximately 2020 and it has made a marked improvement in my life and career.

Terrific

I used to love Actuflow and bought a lifetime purchase. Then they moved to a subscription model and essentially told their old members they had to start paying for a subscription. That’s not cool and a complete bait and switch. At the very least they should have grandfathered their old members like me, who paid for the product (in addition to giving them free consulting via Zoom). A 50% discount is not a good remedy to that. I would not recommend this app for that reason, plenty of others out there that will actually treat their users/financial supporters with the respect they’re entitled to.

Response from developer

Dear Yezwaj, Thank you for reaching out with this 🙏 There must be a mistake, because we made sure the lifetime users of the previous version of Taskfulness receive a lifetime subscription. Please reach out to us, so we can understand what went wrong and fix it 🙂 You can use this direct email: natalie@taskfulness.com Best regards, Natalie Tsiapalo CEO and founder Taslfulness app
