### 5/5 — so grateful for this app

*2024-04-16*

thank you for making this. this has been so helpful and has made me accountable. thank you endlessly!! <3

### 5/5 — Simple but perfect

*2024-01-04*

I downloaded this after seeing it in a Trichtotillomania support group and it’s just perfect. It has a super simple interface that is user friendly plus the simple turtle is just doll. I’ve encouraged others to use it if they are looking for a simple tracker.

### 3/5 — App is useful but…

*2022-09-01, version 2.6*

The app is useful but I would like to see my monthly total to see my progress each month. 
Also another cool feature would be a record of my longest time without pulling to try to break my last record. That would be really great.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-04-06*

I love this app and i'm so glad i found it, it has a nice simple interface but has everything i could want and it's helpful to keep track of (and decrease) my picking!

### 5/5 — Thank you ❤️

*2020-10-15, version 2.6*

Currently 35 days without pulling or touching my hair after two years of nonstop misery. I made me sad to see my progress go every time I had to press the button. It’s simple, no tricks, no “progress plans”, no ads. It’s perfect. The only thing I would add is after each day or each week you don’t press the button, you get a new cute animal other than the turtle lol. Other than that I would absolutely recommend this app to anybody who is READY to stop their bad habits, this app won’t do it for you but it will help you become more aware. Thanks guys!

### 4/5 — A minor bug

*2020-02-25, version 2.6*

When I got the app to start I had to press pulled my hair more than once to get the timer started, other than that it works really well

### 5/5 — Actually Helped Me!

*2020-02-09, version 2.6*

IM 15 and had trich since I was 11. There was never a day I pulled my hair out at least once.  I got this app 2 days ago , cause why not. Now, I have been 1 day and 22 hours of NOT pulling my hair. There was some VERY close calls, but I remembered that it could ruin my progress and I would have to reset my time to “0”. That kept me motivated. I was so happy I lasted a day, if I can last a week... I would say this cured my trich (not completely, it’s a start) . Get this app guys, to see the time going up is really satisfying. Ur not alone ♥️

### 3/5 — ?

*2020-01-26*

Good app but how do you change the habit type?

### 3/5 — needs a bit more...

*2019-11-11, version 2.6*

would love to be able to add multiple habits - track pulling AND picking, not just either/or. 

and like the previous review said, ability to make a note of what was happening when I pulled/picked.

### 2/5 — Glitch??

*2019-10-04, version 2.3*

I’ve been using this app for quite a while and it’s been great for tracking my trich, but recently after this update it has become unreliable. I don’t know what happened but it’s showing that I pressed the “I just pulled my hair” button on days that I hadn’t even opened the app. Also I’ve never pressed the button more than 18 times and it’s showing in the previous month of September that I, not only pressed the button over 10 times every day, but also showing that I pressed it over 33 times on some of those days. I can assure you I didn’t press the button every day of September, let alone 33 times. This is very upsetting because it means the days I have tracked are now inaccurate. I hope this can be fixed, but I don’t know if anything can be done.
