### 2/5 — Would be good if it worked

*2024-04-10, version 4.4.1*

Invite collaborator doesn’t work, won’t let me upgrade to see if that was the issue. Was hoping this tool would help but sadly it does not

### 2/5 — You guys need to chill

*2022-03-02, version 4.3.0*

I haven’t finished 2 minutes on the app and you are already asking me to rate and review the app. Come on!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible nag-ware.

*2022-01-17, version 4.3.0*

This app would not stop hounding me for a review. Well, here it is.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work?

*2021-05-12, version 4.2.0*

Doesn’t work on my iPad, you can create a “decision” but there’s no way to start a list.

### 3/5 — Bothersome request

*2021-05-07, version 4.2.0*

I understand the benefit of reviews to the developers of any app. But I can hardly make a move without the request to leave a review springing up back-to-back after each entry. I didn’t have the app open long enough to form an opinion before I saw the review request 5 or 6 times. That was a real drain on user experience. It frustrated me enough to uninstall the app without a fair assessment of it.

### 1/5 — Well, that was a complete waste.

*2021-03-18, version 4.2.0*

Under the impression that I may have located the app that would assist in documenting decisions, I decided to download and then upgrade to premium without first testing functionality (primarily given the modest cost of $0.99). 

What an error in judgment.  After adding a “decision” I am presented nothing but a blank unresponsive canvas.  Sure, the “decision” is listed in the left column, but the there is no way to list pros/cons within the main canvas.

Save yourself the hassle, decide against downloading this app.  Especially considering its supposedly in it’s recently updated 4th software version, but obviously still plagued by alpha version bugs.  Speaks poorly to the quality of the developers and their work.

### 3/5 — TL15002

*2021-01-23, version 3.3.2*

So far so good. Still working through the app features

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-01-01, version 3.3.0*

Good

### 4/5 — Could be the best buys Ads

*2020-12-14, version 3.1.2*

You can have the best app on here and eventually people will avoid it and look for another app if they keep getting interfered with what they are working on by a full screen Ad every 20 seconds to 50seconds with a wait timer. 
This really is a great knock out app but it’s hard to get anything done on it with a ad you have to wait for popping up every minute or less. People don’t like being stopped all the times. Other developers mess up with a expensive monthly subscription on something people don’t use much.

### 2/5 — Ads won’t close

*2020-12-07, version 3.1.1*

Was excited about this ap but I haven’t had a chance to use it because the full screen ad won’t close. The x is too far in the corner and doesn’t react when I tap it (yes, after the timer has run out).

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scam spp

*2026-03-21, version 6.4.0*

Don't purchase, scam app I swear guys

### 1/5 — Scam app

*2026-03-14*

After purchase Generator AI not working, I loss my money

### 1/5 — Recent update deleted everything

*2025-12-16, version 6.2.0*

I avoided updating for a reason, and that is the reason. I had a feeling everything would be deleted if it's requiring a new account setup. I used this for a year or more, and now all the local data that was backed up with icloud has just vanished.

### 1/5 — Paid for lifetime but app not working

*2025-09-04, version 6.1.0*

I like the app but it doesn’t recognize that I paid. I tried Restore Purchases but it just hangs. I’ll give your servers time to catch up and try tomorrow. App is good otherwise.

### 1/5 — Filled with adware

*2024-10-04, version 4.4.1*

Couldn’t initiate the app without having to close an ad first. Money hungry

### 1/5 — Junk of a app!

*2024-07-22, version 4.4.1*

This app is garbage needs a update ASAP! Terrible if it takes 2 years with no updates then just delete the app off the appstore

### 1/5 — Premium Version

*2023-01-13, version 4.4.1*

Premium Version nicht möglich zu aktivieren. Der Upgrade Button funktioniert nicht und man ist gezwungen eingeloggt zu bleiben um die Daten nicht zu verlieren 

To activate the Premium Version isn’t possible.The Upgrade Button doesn’t work and you are forced to stay logged in or you loose all your data
Please update your app

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2022-10-20, version 4.4.1*

Guys, I understand you’d like to make some money with an ad supported app but you can’t just drop an ad in between every piece of text I try to edit. This is useless.

Immediately deleted.

Try a different ad model and delivering a compelling product that makes want to to purchase.

### 1/5 — Upgraded which deleted all my lists

*2022-09-14, version 4.4.1*

I have enjoyed this app for years. I was curious and upgraded. My lists are gone despite logging in with apple. I tried to contact the developer but get a notification that i have no purchases- therefore no feedback allowed.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-07-14, version 4.4.1*

I can barely get a thought done before another ad pops up

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective

*2026-03-29, version 6.4.0*

Perfect for those of us looking for a simple sleek pros and cons notes app with no fluff or crazy additional features. I think the more critical reviews are missing the Magic for how simplistic portals like this are perfect for focus and clarity, I’ve always wanted this app and I am so hype to try the calmly app too! Genius

### 5/5 — All good

*2026-01-30, version 6.2.0*

It does what they advertise

### 5/5 — App perfetta

*2025-05-24, version 5.1.0*

La usavo già su iOS ora la posso usare anche qui.

### 5/5 — Ottima per la produttività

*2025-05-21, version 5.1.0*

Usavo quest'app su iPhone e iPad, ora grazie alla versione per Mac posso accedere alle mie decisioni molto più facilmente

### 5/5 — DBT Skill

*2022-07-24, version 4.4.1*

This app is exactly what I needed.
It’s a wonderful app to partner with someone in DBT. This app is INSTANT wise mind

### 5/5 — Could be great

*2022-04-30, version 4.4.1*

But the ads…I almost paid the $0.99 just to turn them off long enough so I could get through a decision scenario but instead gave up. In the end I wasn’t even sure what it was able to do, but gave the developer the benefit of the doubt with a 4.0 rating.

Update: Upgraded to the premium account and now use the app without the annoying interruptions - certainly worth the $0.99. Looking forward to future upgrades as well. Also worth noting the developer reached out to me which doesn’t happen every day with a $0.99 app. Thanks for the app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2022-04-24, version 4.4.1*

A beautiful, well-designed app that is well worth the purchase price. I also had a minor issue with Apple's sign-in, which the developer resolved within 1 hour.

### 5/5 — Good value

*2021-03-21, version 4.2.0*

This does what it says it does - also the premium upgrade is very reasonably priced. One thing that would make this perfect for me would be the ability to drag and reorder items in pro/cons columns, or to choose how to sort (alphabetically, weighting etc).

### 5/5 — Good for indecisive people

*2020-10-18, version 2.1.0*

Nice for people that overthinks decisions, it helps to see things objectively. It also has a clean and easy design.

### 4/5 — works well as a pros cons list, automatically counts each point to generate a percentage

*2021-07-11, version 4.3.0*

too many ads tho, pops up every second
