### 4/5 — Nice app, “completing” jogs too much effort

*2025-06-21*

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

### 2/5 — ok, but....

*2023-06-30, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Stopped working after a week

*2021-12-22, version 4.0.1*

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

### 3/5 — Mostly good

*2021-10-05, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Ongoing problem - Stops app from Working Properly

*2021-02-28, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Potentially great for ADHD

*2020-08-17, version 4.0.1*

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!

### 2/5 — New update doesn’t work

*2020-08-05*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 2/5 — Good idea, needs work

*2020-04-19*

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.

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

### 3/5 — it’s good, but still a lot of issues

*2018-06-04, version 3.1.1*

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...

### 4/5 — Good, but could be great

*2017-03-14*

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.

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

### 3/5 — Good but needs work

*2017-01-29, version 3.1.1*

This app is great for procrastinators like me. I need constant reminders to get me back on track and normal alarm systems do lose their effect.
BUT considering it is a paid app, there are too many limitations. For example, I tried to created a collection of 'Jogs' and the counters says up to 64 but my limit is not reached and I cannot add further times. 
Also, the days of the week is temperamental when selecting. 
AND as another reviewer states, the sounds are awful.
This could be a great tool for those with ADHD (like myself) so keep working on it as this is absolutely needed! Good luck.

### 2/5 — Ok, some bugs, abandoned?

*2017-01-11, version 3.1.1*

Seems to be abandoned, which is a pity. It has potential to be good for random reminders. There is a bug with clearing completed reminders (have to do it twice) and can't restore purchase.

### 2/5 — Pretty bad.

*2016-02-22*

The idea is great.  Just what I wanted, but doesn't work very well. Plus the developer has vanished so there is no support. Biggest problem is when the alarm happens when my device is sleeping or locked. No way to mark the task done.

### 4/5 — Solid mindfulness app (4S)

*2014-06-12, version 3.1.1*

Good for generating non-intrusive, randomised reminders/alerts throughout the day. Performance seems to suffer a little when generating lots of new randomised reminders, but perfectly reliable once set up.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible for older eyes

*2023-09-17, version 4.0.1*

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

Functional aspects to be determined.

### 1/5 — Isn’t sending reminders

*2020-09-09*

See title

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2019-03-20*

Doesn’t work

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

### 1/5 — Unmaintained, broken.

*2019-02-26*

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

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

### 1/5 — Can’t tell if the day is selected or not

*2019-02-24*

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

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

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-06-12*

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.

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

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2016-08-22*

Developer abandoned this app. It does not work.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2016-02-25*

I purchased this app as a recommendation from a book I am reading (Bad Habits No More). But, the app is completely bugged and doesn't work properly. When I sent an email for help, it was returned. There are other free options out there. Don't bother with this app. Waste of money...

### 1/5 — Lost my money...!

*2015-09-24*

The old version of this app was great. The newer version does not work. Totally bugged. Paid for the upgrade and just lost that money. Emailed the developer/support two times in the last month, never received an answer. I feel cheated.

### 1/5 — Really disapointing update

*2014-02-01, version 3.0.1*

You delete all my old jogs with your new update, and the new update come with no amelioration for lot of good features deleted.

Sorry guys i will disinstall this application since it's works more like a spam now.

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2020-10-14*

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

### 5/5 — Hell yeah!

*2020-08-06*

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.

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

### 5/5 — Customizable

*2018-12-07*

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

### 5/5 — Perfect for Students

*2017-04-06*

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!

### 5/5 — Full features n then some, Reliable 2

*2017-02-10*

Really useful app with well thought out options & sounds. Works just as described, and on 2 friends phones, too.  Used it for nearly 4 months now with smooth running.  =^) 

Plus: only app I've found (?!) with reminders that can be semi-random and w/ good musical choices so they aren't the same boring beep @ the same time each day.  And several different reminder types can be set.   =^)) 

#HIGHLY #RECOMMEND

...app needs direct link to App Store Feedback

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2015-05-12, version 3.1.1*

I appreciate this app so much, it helps remind me of things I need to do consistently throughout the day instead of setting a million alarms

### 5/5 — Really helps me add something into my daily life

*2014-06-28*

I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to start/break a habit.

### 5/5 — My favorite app

*2014-02-23*

I use this daily to enhance my daily reprieve from worry, guilt and resentment. It's easy and fun and it helps! The developer personally emailed me when I needed help and did all that he promised ! This is awesome , you'll love it.

### 5/5 — Finally... something basic & efficient

*2013-12-29, version 3.0.1*

I just wanted to get things done! This app got me started ASAP lol. 

Plus it has the daily/timely reminder schedule which I searched high and low for but couldn't find:-/

Thank you for making this. Bonus: the interface isn't crappy graphics, but instead very credible quality.

### 5/5 — Bugs Fixed in New Update

*2013-12-23, version 3.0.1*

All the bugs seem to have been fixed in the latest update. And the developers finally have given users a way to contact them. It's now a pretty great app.
