### 4/5 — bugs

*2026-08-19*

there are bugs in the notes section regarding the keyboard turning on and off, and selecting text / changing text size. it is significantly effecting my and my partner’s experience on the app.

### 4/5 — Features

*2026-07-31, version 10.21.6*

Could use a couple more features. Like punishments being apply to missed habits or a way to track some extra stuff. Like Chast i ty … time locked or something like that… Awsome otherwise. 

I never give 5 stars … always leaves room for improvement.

### 4/5 — Love - would give 4 1/2 stars if possible

*2026-06-01, version 10.21.1*

I like how knowing my Dom can see what I’ve done each day gives me a sense of accountability since we don’t live together full-time. The one thing I would change is adding an option to change the time of day a new day starts. I go to bed late and having to update the history for several of my tasks is annoying.

### 3/5 — it's pretty good

*2026-05-29, version 10.21.1*

could use "save photo" functionality if you're going thru all the trouble of having an an archive. also, 5 tasks between 2 people is not a lot at all :') i feel like you should be able to get more out of the app without dropping thirty bucks

### 3/5 — Partner und Ich brauchen premium

*2026-05-19*

Ich finde es schade, dass sowohl meine Frau, als auch ich beide Premium haben müssen um die App voll ausnutzen zu können, ein geteiltes Premium für beide wäre echt super. Ansonsten ist die App gut gemacht und auch sehr übersichtlich

**Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback! Wir verstehen, dass ein geteiltes Premium praktisch wäre, und geben den Vorschlag gerne an unser Team weiter. Schön zu hören, dass euch die App sonst gefällt! 🖤

### 3/5 — I don’t buy subscriptionware…

*2026-05-08*

I don’t buy subscriptionware in which we are called upon to pay over and over again for something we used to pay for once—often amounting to hundreds of dollars over time. No, I prefer to pay once, as it should be. There needs to be a “pay once” option, even if the developers (and more importantly, their greedy investors) would rather resist this idea.

But, my partner really, really wanted me to buy in. So I have.

I’d like to give 5 stars, but I can’t. Too many bugs and missing features. For example, there are tasks I’ve set up properly that my partner for some reason cannot check off. Also: cycling daily and weekly tasks have to be assigned a particular time or a particular day, when setting them up. (At least the app is working that way for me.) But for some daily tasks I simply want an “any time in the day” option.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-04-29, version 10.21.0*

A fun way to remember to do test you should already be doing winky face.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2026-04-24, version 10.20.9*

idk how much I trust a kink app and an org centered around educating about kink that still refers for polyamory as “poly” because it’s common sense in the kink community that poly is a term already used and taken by Polynesians and out of respect, “polyam” is the term used for polyamory. the app design and ux is nice but i’d rather not support people claiming expertise and knowledge when they still embody ignorance 😬

### 4/5 — Great tool for LD D/s

*2026-04-21, version 10.20.9*

I’m in a LD 24/7 dynamic, and this app has enabled the rules and rituals part of our dynamic to thrive when we are physically apart. Works really well too, though there are a few things we had to figure out, and some loopholes.

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2026-04-04*

Nette App die recht einfach zu bedienen ist. Es können verschachtelte Aufgaben erstellt werden. Schön wäre es wenn die Ausführungen nicht nun mit 1-bis… mal abgegeben werden könnten sondern eigene Begriffe eingefügt werden könnten.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank! Schön zu hören, dass dir die App gefällt. Den Vorschlag mit den eigenen Begriffen geben wir gerne an unser Team weiter! 🖤

### 4/5 — Good but confusing

*2026-04-01*

The app is good, partner and I both like it however, we are very confused. The accounts seem to be reversed when we look on our own phones. I will look and see my partner listed at the top as “dominant”, then I assumed the “Private Personal Profile” is mine. But when my partner logs in to his account, it shows it reversed. The points I have in the Private Personal Profile (that I thought was mine) should in his account, as his.. we have no idea what file/account actually is our own… wish there was a spot for tips..

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I understand why that feels confusing.

The Private profile is your own personal profile, just like the name suggests. It’s meant for habits, rewards, and punishments you want to keep to yourself, and it does not carry over to the profile shared with your partner.

You can switch between your Private profile and the profile shared with your partner. If you only want to use the app together with your partner and not on your own, then you should make sure you’re always using the shared profile rather than the Private one.

### 2/5 — Lots of issues with my account and with my subscription.

*2026-04-01*

I tried using this app because I saw a review for it. I bought premium because I wanted the extra features, but I soon started having issues on my account, and was unable to log in on the account I had bought premium on. 

Customer service was unable to help me access my account, and was unable to refund me. Because I still had a partner who was using premium, I made a new account and bought premium again (since both partners need to have premium in order for it to work).  This was a mistake. 

I eventually stopped using the app and cancelled my subscription through Apple. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to cancel the subscription on the app's end, as I just had a surprise charge for an app I haven't used in a year, and didn't even have installed on my phone. And I have no way to  dispute the claim and get a refund because it was supposedly cancelled by apple. 

It's honestly too much of a hassle for me to want to use this app again, even in the future. It's very frustrating to keep coming up against situations where I have issues with the subscription without the ability to get a refund, especially since I am living in a situation now where every dollar matters to me. The subscription managed to swallow up $90 dollars, and I only used it for 6 months. 

Two stars, only because the app itself is actually functional, even though all the features are pretty basic.

**Developer response:** Sorry you’ve had to deal with this. If the subscription was purchased through the App Store, Apple handles the billing, cancellations, and refunds end-to-end. That means we don’t have access to your payment method, and we can’t issue or reverse App Store charges on our side. The only way to dispute or request a refund is through Apple using your purchase history and subscription settings in the App Store.

### 3/5 — Unique but glitchy and annoying

*2026-03-16, version 10.20.5*

I want to love this app SO BAD but I can’t. As a kinkster and supporter of small developers, this app seemed perfect. But there are far too many glitches, and the constant full page pop-ups about going premium get frustrating considering this app is designed to be opened every day.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great in theory but buggy mess

*2026-06-11, version 10.21.3*

Maybe I downloaded this at a bad time? I had trouble signing up. I had trouble opening the app. I couldn’t add my partner. The whole app seems to get stuck or just not function. I would happily use it but I can’t because it’s terminally stuck on loading screens!

### 1/5 — Cancel and they will still charge you.

*2026-06-01, version 10.21.2*

I canceled my premium and they still tried to charge me 30 bucks. The app itself is fine. Not worth the money imho especially if you can’t even trust them to cancel and not charge you.

### 1/5 — I don’t buy subscriptionware…

*2026-05-27*

I don’t buy subscriptionware in which we are called upon to pay over and over again for something we used to pay for once—often amounting to hundreds of dollars over time. No, I prefer to pay once, as it should be. There needs to be a “pay once” option, even if the developers (and more importantly, their greedy investors) would rather resist this idea.

Later…

But, my partner really, really wanted me to buy in. So I have. I’d like to give 5 stars, but I can’t. Too many bugs and missing features. For example, there are tasks I’ve set up properly that my partner for some reason cannot check off. Also: cycling daily and weekly tasks have to be assigned a particular time or a particular day, when setting them up. (At least the app is working that way for me.) But for some daily tasks I simply want an “any time in the day” option.

Still later…

The app is more unfinished than finished. There are many ways it could not work for us. For some reason my sub could not successfully check off completed tasks. Thinking it was user error, I searched for effective troubleshooting documentation but found nothing useful. Particularly irksome was that I was forced to tie daily tasks to specific times of the day, instead of being able to simply set up a checklist of daily tasks that don’t need a time associated with their daily accomplishment as long as they are done within the day.

I’ve since cancelled my annual subscription with less than a month of use, even at the loss of $30.

The app does not work for us.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear the app didn't work out for you. The feedback on task flexibility and documentation is really valuable and we'll pass it on to our team. If the issue with your sub not being able to check off tasks is still something you'd like resolved, feel free to contact support. 🖤

### 1/5 — It’s a scam

*2026-05-07, version 10.21.0*

It’s buggy and counts tasks that were done as not done creating more work and defeating the purpose of the app while causing distress and distrust in the sub dom dynamic. The support team refuses to take responsibility and fix the app and instead give you a list of “fix’s” that do nothing but waste your time and they refuse to refund you by hiding behind Apple. I’ve been trying to get them to fix this for months. We paid for a whole year and they are avoidant and unhelpful. This app is a scam don’t buy it and certainly don’t waste money on a whole years worth. Even after paying for it you get tons of pops up trying to get you to pay for their stupid notebook so you still get adds that bother you constantly. Just useless. Cool concept TERRIBLE execution

### 1/5 — App will not load.

*2026-04-27, version 10.20.9*

I have not been able to laid messages in over a week. The circle just spins and spins. I reported it thru the app. No response. I tried to report it here and I cannot send a message.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-04-07, version 10.20.8*

Support has given the runaround, ignored tickets, promised to fix issues and did not, and now has deleted accounts for reaching out for assistance again.  This is not acceptable for an app that has options for paid accounts.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money

*2026-03-31, version 10.20.8*

This app resets itself with the points daily and will say there are negative points when no one changed a thing and there should be positive points. Great idea of an app, but not worth $30 a year for something busy people will constantly have to spend time fixing instead if enjoying.

### 1/5 — Password reset

*2026-02-15, version 10.20.2*

The password reset email for the app is not working at all. My partner and I upgraded phones and we cannot login to an app that we’re paying a subscription for.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-17, version 10.19.3*

I like the app but tell me why I keep losing so many points?!?? Yesterday I was at 26 but when I clicked into it today I was at 9 and I know it’s not my Dom doing it

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-11-25, version 10.18.13*

I’ve been trying to get a refund and can’t get a real person to talk to me.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2026-08-19*

Also diese App macht so viel Spaß! Aufgaben, Regeln, Betrafen alles übersichtlich und super einfach für beide anzuwenden 😁 vor allem, dass die Sub nichts einstellen darf, wenn erstmal eine Regel da ist🤭

### 5/5 — Application de soumission

*2026-08-13*

C’est une bonne application pour me garder obéissant et pour ne pas oublier mes bonnes habitudes de soumis

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ton retour ! Content que l'app t'aide à rester sur la bonne voie 🖤

### 5/5 — Chinese language

*2026-08-12, version 10.22.2*

Could you add Chinese as well? That way, we can use it better. Thank you

### 5/5 — What you’re looking for

*2026-08-12, version 10.22.2*

Incredibly customizable systems to track and improve your behavior. I honestly don’t know of a normal habit app this organized. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Unexpectedly, solo use helped my AuDHD brain become productive!

*2026-08-10*

I use this solo and can’t believe how much it works for my productivity! I’m being vulnerable in case another neurodivergent person can feel validated from this: I went from brushing about once every other day to brushing my teeth and flossing twice every day for several weeks!! You have no idea how huge that is for me. This is the habit I previously most struggled with as an AuDHD person!

I grew up struggling with authority because it felt like my autonomy was threatened when an adult told me what to do. On the other hand, if I would try to set goals for myself, I would end up failing because my own deadlines didn’t mean much. But when I set up all the goals, rules, rewards, and punishments as my own “master” it’s like it solved both problems. I’m not being too lenient with myself because the rules are clear and the possible outcomes are set out. I genuinely rush to get things done by the deadline just like I used to for school assignments. 

This app helped me realize that I’ve inadvertently done a similar setup to achieve past goals. Even if this app isn’t always available in my lifetime I’m honestly so grateful for what I learned from it. I feel like I uncovered a formula. This is what people meant when they talked about self discipline.

I only downloaded this app because it seemed exciting. It’s like I got rewarded with completed goals for just chasing a high.

**Developer response:** This genuinely made our day. Thank you for taking the time to write it out, and for being open about it. That thing you described, where being your own authority somehow works when neither self-imposed goals nor outside rules did, is something we hear from a lot of solo users and it never stops being interesting. Weeks of consistent flossing is no small thing either. Wishing you many more 🖤

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-07-08, version 10.21.5*

I love this app

### 5/5 — Every kinky couple should have this!

*2026-06-24, version 10.21.4*

This has improved our d/s dynamic 10 fold. It’s thrilling checking off the demands and just gettin our dynamic easily structured

### 5/5 — Tracking

*2026-06-10, version 10.21.3*

Very helpful app in holding me accountable and giving me a solid connection with My Alpha/Master.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-05-28, version 10.21.1*

Me and my partner use this and I've gotten so much healthier since we started using it I enjoy this app

### 5/5 — closer bond together <3

*2026-05-20, version 10.21.1*

i'm so grateful for this app for helping my daddy and I strengthen our bond and connection in such a fun way🥰
