### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Favorite productivity app so far

*2016-06-04, version 2.0.2*

I was looking for an app to combine my habit tracker and to do list apps (I've been using Productive and Wunderlist), and with a little creative tweaking this one seems like a good fit. I'd love more options to track repeatable to do list completion over time, move the bars around, etc., but there's a lot of cool versatility here AND it's not crazily over complicated. Thanks guys!

### 4/5 — Amazing and Accountable

*2015-12-13, version 1.5.3*

I really love this app! The ability to create several ways to measure progress and then organize in groups (tags) has been so wonderful! The only thing I wish were different is in quantifying to the whole, you could input a number value, rather than, the only option now is to tap an arrow and it adds '1' per tap- that can take a long time for some weekly or monthly goals. Otherwise, it's a fun way to track progress that boost moral and confidence to keep going!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-03-07, version 1.1.1*

Love this app! Track everything in my life!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2015-02-18, version 1.1.1*

Clean, sleek, effective, and extremely positive. Exactly what I wanted!

### 5/5 — Everything I was looking for

*2015-01-22, version 1.1*

This app is great!!! I was looking for an app that was customizable and easy to use to manage my goals!

### 5/5 — Great goal tracker

*2015-01-22, version 1.1*

This app is great for tracking pretty much anything! Try it out

### 5/5 — Real-Life XP Bar

*2014-09-24, version 1.0*

Everyone needs real life to be more like video games :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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!

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — WTF

*2016-10-09, version 2.1.1*

Keeps randomly deleting everything. Really useless because of this.

### 1/5 — Update Deleted Everything!

*2016-04-25, version 2.0.1*

The new update on this app deleted all my information, including one long-term goal I had been tracking very closely. Deleting this app out of frustration and fear that this will happen again in the future. Not worth the space.

### 1/5 — Total crap!

*2015-05-16, version 1.5.2*

Don't bother  downloading.  I don't know how this app got passed Apple cause it's definitely not functional. It's like they left without finishing building the app.  I can't even edit my entries! The other 5-star reviews are obviously fake. DELETED! Wasted my precious time.

### 2/5 — Useless for many goals

*2016-03-06, version 1.5.3*

The two main things I want this type of app for is to track my savings and my wordcount goals for writing.  Since you can only add a quantity of 1 at a time, this app is completely useless for those goals.  I'm not gonna tap thousands of times per day for writing, nor hundreds of times per paycheck -- how absurd!  And one of the suggestions the app gives you when making a new tracking bar is "Saving Money."  It's just ridiculous that this app lacks such a basic functionality.

But the interface is attractive and I really want to be able to use this app, so I'm giving it 2*.

### 3/5 — .

*2016-11-10, version 2.2*

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

### 3/5 — Worked great at first but then a bug occurred

*2016-09-04, version 2.1.1*

When i first downloaded the app, it worked tremendously well, and worked well with pretty much everything I had to keep track of. However, somewhere along the line, maybe through one of the updates, I can still edit and add to goals, but whenever I switch tags or close the app and come back, the app reverts back to a previous save instead of keeping the updated information. Any changed/deleted goals come back, with the exact same progress as before as if it were just frozen in time, and that's obviously a huge blow to its usability. Hopefully this issue can be fixed without losing everything.

### 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.

### 5/5 — So far so good!

*2016-09-14, version 2.1.1*

I just downloaded this about an hour ago and I am loving it. Just a little warning, when making a todo list remember to push the little plus symbol or it will not be added to the final list. 
I'm going to use this app for about a month and come back and update this review. 
So far I can not believe this app isn't more popular.

### 5/5 — Revised review

*2016-08-27, version 2.1.1*

OK, I previously gave a one star review because I thought the timer functionality was broken. Now I see that You MUST add hours as two digits, then minutes as two digits, and then seconds last two digits. It's a little quirky, but once I got past that, The app works wonderfully and is beautiful.

### 5/5 — Best productivity app I've used!

*2016-06-20, version 2.0.2*

!!!

### 5/5 — Tracking by Levels

*2015-12-11, version 1.5.3*

This is just what I was looking for. A way to visualize my progress with gamification. Every day that I make progress in some area I just tap a button. So simple and yet so helpful.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-10-30, version 1.5.3*

I love this app. It is very easy to use and took only a few minutes to get started tracking my progress and meeting my goals. I love how colorful it is and I love that there are so many ways to organize my goals. Also the technical support is superb. There are a couple of little things that I wish were different but I hear they are working on updating those features. Thanks for the great app guys!

### 5/5 — The very best

*2015-10-11, version 1.5.3*

Trust me this one os the best from all ive ever tried and at is free

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2015-08-29, version 1.5.3*

I am loving this app!

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2015-08-05, version 1.5.3*

This app is great! It is just what I needed. I hope you continue to update and add more features. Gamified productivity bar!
