Nice app, “completing” jogs too much effort

It’s a nice app, but you can’t complete the jog from the notification like you can a typical reminder

Terrible for older eyes

Colours and fonts used are very difficult to read. I would guess no thought was given to this.

Functional aspects to be determined.

ok, but....

a great idea, too bad it stops working randomly. have to quit it and restart/activate and it seems to work for a few days then... nothing.

Stopped working after a week

This app worked for about a week then stopped. I just stopped getting reminders even though all notifications were switched on. Shame!

Mostly good

Needs instructions on use. It’s not completely intuitive.
Cannot reorder the reminders. New jogs are put to the bottom.
Can only schedule for the next 7 days. Longer duration tasks can’t be set up.
Appears to be no longer actively supported.
Can’t nest sub-tasks under a reminder.

Ongoing problem - Stops app from Working Properly

The option to mark a Jog/Reminder as complete (Mark Completion) does not work. Even when set to no the jogs/reminders are still recorded and when enough have occurred the reminders stop working until you manually mark the jogs/reminders complete and delete them. This is incredibly problematic and makes the app less then ideal. I wish the developers would fix this bug. Fixing this bug would increase the rating of this app.

Bugs

Please fix how it stops giving notifications unless you have it open sometimes and the 12h time limit for range

Isn’t sending reminders

See title

Response from developer

Would you please email us through the support tab in the app? You most probably do not have the settings set up correctly in Preferences.

Potentially great for ADHD

But unfortunately let down by the ability to only set 2 joggers without paying for premium. I understand having a limit on the free version but 2 is a bit of a joke!

Hell yeah!

One of my favorite apps is back! I thought Mind Jogger had become abandonware at this point, but the dev recently updated it after a multi-year hiatus.

Mind Jogger is a godsend for my ADHD. I’m surprised there aren’t other apps like it.

Email the dev if you find a glitch, I did and he solved it right away.

One request:
I need some new sounds. My brain is accustomed to all the old stuff, somewhat limiting the app’s effectiveness for me. ADHD is responsive to novelty, but anything that’s routine eventually gets ignored.

Thank you for your kind words. I am in the process of recording new alarms to include in the next update.

New update doesn’t work

Been using this for almost 4 years now and the most recent update just shuts down anytime I try changing something.

Response from developer

Try to delete and reinstall Mind Jogger, as something must have gone wrong during the update. If it does not work, please use the email link in the app’s support page, and we will figure out how to make Mind Jogger work for you again.

Good idea, needs work

The concept is good: set up a number of reminders throughout the day. What I like is that these can be “random”. It’s helpful for different kinds of mindfulness activities. Would be good to just leave it at that and make it work well.

Unfortunately the implementation is very buggy. The notifications, constantly asking if I want to save a reminder to a log that apparently requires a higher level of paid access. Missed notifications because they route to the Apple Watch, and although you can see the notification you can not acknowledge it. All of the constant dialogues about saving and did you complete the reminder are unhelpful and never work.

Unmaintained, broken.

Great concept.. No longer supported. In-app purchase not restorable. Several bugs.

Can’t tell if the day is selected or not

When you pick the days for the reminder I can’t tell if blue means selected or gray with readable text means selected. It’s a stupid mistake and although I could easily figure it out, there’s no tutorial or faqs to help me

Customizable

I really appreciate this app. You can customize how often you get notified about each reminder, the window of time, the days of the week, and even the specific notification sound!

One note: I wish the developers would keep working on this app, as it stands above the others that I’ve tried

Waste of money

This app is not supported anymore. I downloaded and I get zero reminders. I tried to edit an existing reminder and it fails to save changes. I'd like my money back but not even sure how at this point.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. These issues have been addressed in the new update. I hope it works for you!

it’s good, but still a lot of issues

Good:
- works as advertised: random reminders throughout the day
- pretty simple to use/set up

Bad:
- need to clear reminders twice
- sometimes the app forgets to remind me to do something...
- interface issues
- seems abandoned

Overall:
The app is nice, but I wouldn’t have paid so much for it, if it’s not updated or debugged...

Perfect for Students

I use this app all the time to randomly quiz me on subjects I am learning in college: The app works great! I just wish we could have more than 64 reminders. Heck, I'd pay for more than 64 reminders!

Good, but could be great

A little glitchy, but I haven't been able to find another app that does exactly what this app does. It is nice to be randomly reminded of good habits (drinking water, reading, etc.) and inspiration over the day. Really hope that the developers decide to update the app.
