### 1/5 — I am also experiencing crashing.

*2024-05-11, version 2.2.2*

Please help! I can’t log in anymore, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but when I log in it crashes!

### 5/5 — I can’t subscribe, or contact them directly…

*2024-05-01*

Other than that it’s perfect!

### 5/5 — IGNORE OTHER REVIEWS

*2019-01-24, version 2.2.2*

This app really is great. I have been using it for a while and I really like how it is. If you are on the line about downloading because of other reviews that say you can’t add more than one value at a time, don’t worry. You can add points in bulk by pressing and holding on the input button.

### 4/5 — Perfect idea

*2018-12-10, version 2.2.2*

So far working well for me, only suggestions would be to be able to add more points at a time

### 4/5 — Really good motivational app

*2018-10-27, version 2.2.2*

I love this app. It’s helps me keep track of what I want to do and how I’m doing with certain things. I hope to see more updates in the future. I will give some advice if I see notice anything that could be useful.

### 1/5 — It won't start after login

*2017-05-18, version 2.2.2*

It runs after install, but after logging in it crashes and does not want to start up. I restarted the iPad, no luck.

### 4/5 — Effective and clean

*2017-04-11, version 2.2.2*

Make sure you get an account to avoid losing your data. Otherwise, very helpful to track goals.

### 3/5 — .

*2016-11-10, version 2.2*

Can't edit lists once their made, you have to delete and start over.

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2016-11-07, version 2.2*

I have used the app for about 7 months and loved it.  Now it no longer works and their support team will not answer questions.  Would like to have my money back.  Do not purchase app until they fix it.

### 1/5 — Tread carefully

*2016-10-22, version 2.2*

If you're thinking you might use this app for goal tracking that is important (say, for your job), DON'T DO IT! All of my bars disappeared twice, despite the fact that I had an account and did nothing to make them disappear. The second time this happened, customer service didn't so much as apologize or help me get them back. In fact, I had to become obnoxious for them to notice me at all. Beautiful app, but completely untrustworthy.
