I like the app more than I thought. *2017-03-02, version 0.2.01* I changed my mind. I tried more apps on the appstore, but this one motivates me to get things done. What I like the most is how there's both a weekly and monthly view, and a brief celebration at the end. Normal to-do apps make it feel like a neverending dredge. I'm still bothered by the mispellings, and bugs, but the emojis have grown on me. I still think they're tacky, but I kind of like them. I'm most bothered by the inability to turn off the constant notifications, which is one of the main reasons I'm not giving it 5 stars. Still, I'm sticking with it and I hope there's updates to these issues in the future. ### 4/5 — Helpful, but... *2016-11-16, version 0.2.01* This app is almost there. Nice functionality & design, but the notifications need to be reduced. For example, I set a reminder to not have any drinks a few days a week. The next morning at 10am my phone lights up with a notification "Today is not an easy day because we have NO DRINKS! But we'll get through it!" The potential for public humiliation is significant... ### 3/5 — Good App few improvements needed *2016-11-08, version 0.2.01* This is a lovely app, however it could do with some improvements: * Set 1st day of the week * More intuitive design, or at least an on demand access to help * Explain why mobile data is required * More prominence given to goals (fantastic design, but it just gets kind of buried in the interface) This is a pretty neat app, especially as it is free. Just a little more tinkering (on the admittedly less fun stuff) will have it seriously raising the bar regarding good app design. ### 4/5 — Great but.. *2016-11-07, version 0.2.01* Week two won't start and it's been two days since. I can't figure out how to check things off of my new second week. ### 4/5 — Great app to need some improvement *2016-11-02* This app is a great app to keep you motivated on the test that matter. As a person that's visually impaired, I am struggling with this app because of how small the font size is. Also, I wish setting up goals was a little easier. ### 4/5 — Almost there... *2016-11-01, version 0.2.01* Excellent app that I believe is the best at habit tracking and goal setting. The only improvement I'd like to see is for a app badge icon and today view. ### 3/5 — La semana no empieza el domingo *2016-06-28* Señores, esto es España y la semana empieza el lunes, no el domingo. He buscado por todas partes y no he visto un ajuste para poder cambiarlo. **Developer response:** In 48h we should deploy a new version which fixes this problem. :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-10-19* Could not even register. Kept listing error message stati y Emai a dress was not formatted correctly. Even though it was. Why sign up to use this app, anyway? Oh well. I guess it’s better off not even wasting my time with this a ### 1/5 — Let us test it once more. *2019-08-31* Didnt tried again. First releases was working very well. Şast big updates made app useless with tons of lacks and bugs. it seems you rerelease it again. I wish if bugs fixed. Let us test it once more. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t actually do anything. *2018-05-06* A waste of money. You get to fill out a goal and answer a few questions. And my goal wasn’t even saved. ### 1/5 — The app is weird *2018-01-19* I didnt set the gold but it says this week is week#7 Also the app is quiet difficult to use ### 1/5 — Motivazionale?! *2016-11-02* Ma chi ha bisogno di vedere un pallino che sale una montagna e ti dice bravo quando hai raggiunto un obiettivo per sentirsi motivato? Ma per favore! Inutile. Se poi la mettono a €9.90, diventa una barzelletta! **Developer response:** In 48h we should deploy a new version which fixes this problem. :) ### 1/5 — Over priced *2016-09-27, version 0.1.2* Not worth the money. Looks slick but in reality a poor user experience and offers less than apps that are a third the price. ### 2/5 — I did like it but annoyed now *2017-01-09, version 0.2.01* I liked this app a lot, but it's started giving me notifications that I haven't set up (checking in on me to see how my day is progressing etc) and that's mighty annoying when I am busy or sleeping. I've stopped using the app because of this. To the developer: Please add the ability to turn these extra, non-user set, notifications off. (I don't want the app checking in on me at inconvenient times.) If you do (and perhaps also add the ability to set the first day of the week, as suggested by another user), I expect it would go back to being a five star app. Also, I noticed the price has gone up to £7.99 and I'm not sure that is a great idea - think you'll get more users and therefore probably more money if you set a lower price. I got it during the introductory period - I'm afraid I would not have paid £7.99 for it. Good work on the whole, very cute idea and I definitely like that the schedule is customisable and you have overarching goals, just need to sort out the one massive annoying feature. ### 2/5 — Great premise, but much under-utilized *2016-05-04* The app is a great concept and is very well designed but I felt it was lacking in a major way. When you first create tasks, it asks you to fill out a survey of sorts with questions like "why do you want to do this?" and "What will you achieve by keeping this goal?" (along with many other questions like that). It was very motivating to fill it out and made me want to accomplish the goal. But, when I would fail to complete the task, the app brought none of that motivation back. Instead, I was provided with the same "You can do it" (paraphrasing) message over and over. It worked the first couple fails but eventually, I just stopped reading it and there was no motivating factor, which is a big failure for a motivation app. Again, the app is laid out very well and is extremely visually appealing and easy to use. However, I found no use in it after 3-4 weeks because I wasn't reminded of why I wanted to achieve that goal repeatedly when I failed to do the task. And that's a major failure for this app in my eyes. **Developer response:** In 48h we should deploy a new version which fixes this problem. :) ### 3/5 — Not fully baked = good idea; not edible *2018-05-25* I downloaded the app when it was free and am glad I didn’t pay for it. Because it’s not usually free and there doesn’t appear to be a way to reach the developer for feedback, I’d recommend not downloading it until its does the minimum of what it needs to do. Here’s my take, so far: Pros: The premise is great. The guidance questions are thoughtful. Cons: User-adjustable settings appear non-existent. App has buttons that go no where. It feels like the developer had great intentions but added it to App Store before it was finished. How to use: It’s a good app to provide prompts when setting goals, but you’ll want to write out your goals in a separate sheet of paper. Appears to use the S.M.A.R.T. Goal system. ### 3/5 — Really dislike the notifications *2017-05-02, version 0.2.01* Like another reviewer, I like this app a lot but the new notifications are very annoying. Big blocks of text, constant throughout the day and some of them are quite condescending and passive aggressive. I've turned off all notifications for now in the main iPhone settings but not everyone will know how to do this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App! *2019-11-03* Die App motiviert mich jeden Tag 😀😀 ich bin schon gewöhnt zu gucken ob alle Tagesziele erreicht habe 🙂 meine Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2017-12-12* Приложение удобное и простое в использовании. Но, во-первых, нет поддержки русского языка, хоть это и не так важно, все можно усвоить "методом тыка". А, во-вторых, все же не хватает функций. Например: выполнено на определённое количество % и тому подобное. Хотя за эти недочёты я звезды не снижаю, так как лучшее приложение в своём роде!👍 **Developer response:** Thanks! In 48h we will have a new version and hope you will like it as well! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2017-11-14, version 0.2.01* This app is the only reason that I get my homework done ### 5/5 — LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR *2017-05-08* La descubrí hace un tiempo pero, no estuve demasiado pendiente de ella. Ahora, estaba buscando algún tipo de agenda virtual y me alegro muchísimo de haberme acordado de ella. Me encanta y funciona muy bien. Pero, si tuviera que introducir algo, como actualización, sería la posibilidad de añadir imágenes a tus tareas. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-11-03, version 0.2.01* I've only had this app for a day but I'm already loving it. So easy and simple to use. It is also very satisfying when crossing something off the list. I absolutely love it. To improve this app even more, I recommend adding a feature which allows you to sync all content to multiple devices so you have the ability to use the app on any device. Download this app now. You won't be sorry! ### 5/5 — Impressed *2016-11-02, version 0.2.01* First day using the app and I'm quite impressed. Really cute concept of achieving goals to move up to the mountain peak. Clean and modern UI, pleasing to use and look at. Just what I have been looking for tracking tasks and goals combined!! Looking forward to using this more. ### 5/5 — Really great goal-setting app *2016-10-28, version 0.2.01* Been looking for something like this for ages. Really great the way the actions and goals cascade within different timelines ### 4/5 — Great App *2018-07-30* Using it everyday. It sounds there is a bug as from one week to another, i cannot find / see again the accomplishments done on a previous week. Otherwise, I like it. ### 4/5 — Please update *2018-07-19* I am so excited to use all the features of this app but I really really want the things unlocked that you say will be once there’s an update. Please update the app so I can use it at it’s full potential and I will give you 5 stars. Thank you!!!! ### 4/5 — Great, but needs updates *2018-02-03* I downloaded the app and when I try to create a goal, then add actions it tells me that is not available yet until next update. Hope the developer still works on these features --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
