### 4/5 — I’m willing to give 5 Stars

*2025-12-30, version 7.0.4*

If you added “pages” as a data unit because I love using the app to track my reading and use it daily because I read multiple books a time and like to see where I’m at in them!

### 5/5 — Simple, yet amazing.

*2025-10-09, version 7.0.2*

I’m a visual person, and I absolutely love lists.  I had always been on the lookout for something exactly like Progress, where I can see a visual representation of how close or far away I am to a goal.  Primarily financial.

I love the ability to see the progress bar AND completion percentage, as well as creating categories and color-coding.

Every time I make a payment or an autopay is completed, I come in to Progress, and update the item, and I absolutely love seeing the bar and % update.  It’s very motivating for me, and helps me keep my finances in order - way more than any other app, like YNAB did.

Thanks for making the app.  It’s very simple, but I can’t imagine it being any better.

Also, I almost never reach out to a developer, but I did have a suggestion for this, and the developer replied within a day.  And it was not a forketter or copy/paste message.

Additionally, I rarely rate apps - let alone write a review.  But I have been thoroughly impressed with this app, and the developer.

Kudos all around.

### 3/5 — iCloud

*2025-09-22, version 7.0.0*

Me gusta la app pero aunque está escrito en configuraciones “ICloud sync” cuando desinstalo la app y la vuelvo a instalar se borran todos los datos aunque esté conectado con iCloud

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-09-14, version 7.0.0*

Simple and great, does what it's supposed to.

### 5/5 — Simple, easy, excellent

*2025-09-02, version 6.3.3*

I tried others, but they were all intense, change-your-whole-life-in-these-seven-easy-steps apps. This does what I need- tracks progress. I can set it to reset daily and use the widget. Non-intrusive, helpful, easy. No sign up required. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great For almost anything

*2025-08-22, version 6.3.3*

This app has been an extreme help with tracking my spending and how many days till I have things. It’s nice being able to put different trackers into different sections! It would be nice if you did a day counter, it would automatically count down. Other than that it’s a great app!

### 5/5 — This App is a Blessing

*2025-08-14, version 6.3.3*

i’m so beyond thankful for this. i’ve always struggled at setting clear goals for myself, and this has vastly improved my organization. i now am able to track debts, income, short term, and long term goals (just to name a few) all in one place. i never thought id say it but for once, technology is actually making a positive impact in my life. 

SUGGESTION: 
i’d love the ability to create more than one “default” preset. when adding a new tracker, you could design a popup to choose which preset you’d like to use. huge time saver 

also in the interest of saving time, i think being able to save a custom list of “units” would be awesome too. having to type it in the custom box every time is a little monotonous

### 5/5 — Simple and Sweet

*2025-06-16, version 6.3.2*

Just what I needed, a simple tracker for my goals. Works just as expected, I love that it can be a widget.

### 5/5 — 직관적인 진행 상황 시각화에 최적인 앱

*2025-06-06, version 6.3.2*

When working on long-term projects that require steady daily progress, this app is great for visually tracking the progress through intuitive graphs and getting a sense of accomplishment. It can even estimate completion date based on my current pace. When juggling multiple tasks, it’s easy to lose track of what I’ve done, but by adding the widget to my home screen, I can always stay aware of my progress.

There are also some features I'd like to see added:

1. The export function currently only outputs graph images. It would be helpful if the data could also be exported as a CSV or TXT file for more detailed analysis later in tools like Excel.

2. It would also be great if the app supported Apple Watch complications.

장기적인 작업을 매일 조금씩 꾸준히 진행해야 할 때, 진척 상황을 직관적인 그래프로 시각적으로 파악하고 성취감을 느끼기에 좋습니다. 지금까지의 진행 속도를 바탕으로 종료 일자를 추정해 주기도 하고요. 여러 가지 일을 같이 하다보면 어느 일을 어디까지 했는지 잊어버리기 쉬운데, 위젯으로 바탕화면에 추가해 두면 진행 상황을 항상 잊지 않고 있을 수 있어서 좋습니다.

아쉬운 점도 있습니다.

1. 보내기 기능에는 그래프 출력 밖에 없는데, 입력한 정보를 csv파일이나 txt파일로 출력할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 나중에 엑셀 등으로 자세히 분석해 볼 수 있게요. 

2. 애플워치 컴필레이션도 지원해 주면 좋겠습니다.

### 5/5 — Underrated app

*2025-05-01, version 6.3.1*

Set Goals and track them pretty easy but very motivating and interesting to see how you grow towards your dreams

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2025-04-11, version 6.2.1*

Finally an app syncing on both phone and Mac

### 3/5 — Falta o idioma português

*2025-04-04, version 6.2.1*

Só falta ser traduzido para o português

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-03-18, version 6.2.1*

This app is so easy to use and it is free (with ads)!! It allows me to see my goals and keep them in a visual aspect of my mind.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2025-03-15, version 6.2.1*

Долго искала приложение с трекером для количественных целей и хорошим виджетом шкалы прогресса. Классная минималистичная визуализация шкалы прогресса, наглядные графики с тенденцией. Спасибо 👍

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2025-03-05, version 6.2.1*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Simple + Aesthetically Pleasing

*2025-02-28, version 6.2.1*

Downloaded this app on a whim to track my progress with a TV show and ended up using it for many other tasks in my life! The colorful UI is intuitive, easy to use, and has great customization abilities. It offers 5 trackers in the free version, which is sufficient to start with in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Rental Software; Avoid

*2025-12-03, version 7.0.3*

Renting software is fine if it provides ongoing value, but this is an app that rightly should be for one flat fee and then done.  Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — $8 a year for an app

*2025-08-29, version 6.3.3*

remember when apps were free

### 1/5 — Не работает виджет

*2025-03-09, version 6.2.1*

Разместил виджет, а он не показывает информацию , только если зайти в приложение

### 1/5 — over charge

*2024-05-17, version 5.0.0*

it costs money for a simple app if you want more than 5 objectives. I wiould consider paying if there were actaul added features. This is a very small bar and not great experience.

### 1/5 — DONT UNDERSTAND

*2023-11-14, version 4.1.0*

Not straight forward tracker - I am too stupid for this.

### 1/5 — iCloud sync

*2023-11-11, version 4.1.0*

This app claims it has iCloud sync between devices though I’ve never seen it working. And yes I paid for it. I don’t know if it’s only me but buddy it sounds illegal to me.

### 1/5 — make it free bruh

*2023-08-13, version 3.1.2*

to the owner of this app: instead of telling us to help you make more features to the app i say you worry on making it free and getting for uses and downloads bro.

### 1/5 — Hace falta dos cosas para ser perfecta

*2023-07-25, version 3.1.2*

1. Traducción al español 2. Versión para Apple Watch ⌚️ Una vez tenga estas dos cosas será la app perfecta de 5 estrellas ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

### 1/5 — In-app ads and limited features 😩

*2023-02-17, version 3.0.1*

I wanted to try the app before committing to the paid version. But the free version has not only limited features but also annoying ads. If I have to see ads in an app, I want all the features. I am deleting the app immediately. Very off-putting.

### 1/5 — review

*2022-05-04, version 2.3.0*

it is very confusing to get the hang of. I need a tutorial it demonstrate how it works.

*2026-07-04, version 7.2.1*

This app really made me feel like immeasurable things are now tangible progress markers! It really helps to get things moving and get those dopamine levels up! Thanks guys for an amazing app

### 5/5 — love it

*2026-06-08, version 7.2.1*

would love if we could turn the charts into circle charts (feel like it’s be satisfying to see) also if we could see the gap to reach a goal, ex: if my goal is 100 and i’ve completed 35 of it, the chart would show at the bottom the gap is 65 (sorry if this barely makes sense 😭)

### 5/5 — Perfectly flexible

*2026-05-17, version 7.2.1*

I use this for tracking all my annual goals/new years resolutions. It’s quick, easy, visually appealing, and makes habit building a breeze

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted!

*2026-03-30, version 7.2.0*

Beautiful and easy to read and use.

### 5/5 — 5 stars

### 5/5 — Very well made app

*2026-01-15, version 7.0.4*

### 5/5 — The App I’ve Been Waiting For

*2025-12-07, version 7.0.3*

A simple concept, but this is the best implementation of it I’ve seen.
