### 4/5 — Brilliant idea

*2021-05-04, version 1.1.8*

I absolutely love this app! I’ve ran into a problem where I can not see all my sparkles? Whenever I click it the app closes down? Could anyone help me?

Other than that. Love idea. Love that they have there own separate calendars so it’s not over whelming! Great job guys

### 4/5 — Good self care app

*2020-10-18*

I downloaded this app to help for a psychology assignment in school. In class we learned about different anxiety disorders and how they can effect people differently and different treatments options for anxiety disorders. Some people aren’t able to do daily tasks that give them a lot of anxiety. I also personally have anxiety so, for me it is harder to do some tasks. With this app, it gave me inspirational reminders to be able to get what I needed to get done for the day. It also allowed me to reflect on my day and see what I was able to get done in a positive way which I feel could help other people who have anxiety doing simple tasks sometimes. It is very easy to use and I like that it’s free as well. Although I only used this app for a week, I could see it becoming a part of my daily routine.

### 5/5 — The best app for self care :)

*2020-07-18*

During quarantine, my routine was the same, woke up at 12, playing video games, and more but since I’ve gotten this app, I’ve been doing a lot more things!! Thank you!!! 💅🏻😚

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-07-02*

Why i love this app is beacause it helps me and you dont have to pay for anything

### 5/5 — Happy Indeed

*2020-06-27, version 1.0.1*

I love it; it's clean, it's user-friendly, it's cute to have a record of all the happy things I've done... :3
All my friends should use this.

### 5/5 — Simplicity for when you are fragile

*2020-06-23, version 1.0.1*

When my mental health is fragile all I want and need is simplicity. This app is perfect for those times. I have been using it daily for a week now, recording my self care. I’m now beginning to tune into my self care needs and enjoy adding to my list of sparkles.

### 4/5 — Wunsch zum Spruch des Tages“

*2020-06-15*

Die App ist mir ein liebgewonnenes Ritual am Ende des Tages geworden. 
Ich wünsche mir, dass der Spruch des Tages, also die Titate ins Deutsche übersetzt werden, oder um deutsche Zitate ergänzt werden. 
Des Öfteren fehlt mir mal ein englisches Wort oder mir erschließt sich nicht der Sinn zwischen den Zeilen.

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!!

*2020-06-10*

Its quarantine, and im trying to get my mental health in order and this app is amazing. 100% recommend. Thank you whoever created it.😘

### 5/5 — Woah

*2020-05-16, version 1.0.1*

I just downloaded this and I think this is such an amazing idea for an app. This is exactly what I need in my life right now

### 5/5 — Schöne App!

*2020-03-05*

Wirklich hilfreich um im stressigen Alltag auch mal an sich zu denken. Mir gefällt vorallem, dass man sich eigene Benachrichtigungen erstellen kann, um die jeweiligen Ziele nicht zu vergessen. Macht weiter so! 👍

### 1/5 — No backup and no support

*2024-11-06*

This app started giving an error message about a year ago and stopped creating backups. I’ve reached out to support several times but have never received a response. I purchased a new phone recently and have been unable to transfer my data. I love the app and have been using it daily for years, but not being able to back up, transfer, or export my data is a huge problem.

### 1/5 — An sich eine gute Idee, aber...

*2020-08-25*

die App synchronisiert nicht auf verschiedenen Geräten. Das Zitat des Tages ist nach einmal Wegwischen nicht wieder auffindbar. Der Nutzer fühlt sich wie in einer Testversion der App. Bitte zuerst zuende entwickeln, dann anbieten. Für 7,99 EUR ist das inakzeptabel.

### 3/5 — Improvement

*2025-03-21*

I like the application, it really helps, but I’d like an addition to it. The ability to change the date of already set achievements in case mistakenly put on the wrong date; this can be accessed and added via Edit, which is not available right now. I’m basically required to rewrite everything, which I’m not willing to do most of the time. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Can’t purchase full app

*2025-01-09*

I keep trying to purchase the full app and it won’t let me and haven’t heard back after emailing. :(

Still haven’t heard from app support and still can’t buy full app. Pretty disappointed.

### 3/5 — Can’t purchase full app

*2025-01-04*

I keep trying to purchase the full app and it won’t let me and haven’t heard back after emailing. :(

### 3/5 — Limited sparkle

*2024-01-19*

Even after buying upgraded sparkle you can only have 12 at a time or it just prompts you to repurchase the unlimited sparkle again & doesn’t let you continue forward. Disappointing

### 3/5 — Bitte komplett übersetzen.

*2023-03-16*

Wenn die Sprüche des Tages auf deutsch wären, wäre es perfekt.

### 3/5 — :)

*2022-02-18*

This app is cute, I love the idea, but I feel like I would love it so much more if it were more personable. Perhaps you can customize your calendar  and add events, plan a self care day. I don’t know, but I feel like I’m using a blank sheet of lined paper and I’m only allowed to write specific words in a specific order with a number 2 pencil in print. Not nearly as lovely as a completely blank sheet of paper would be with paints and pens and pencils. I’d love to make the app my own 🥰

### 4/5 — I Like It, But…

*2024-06-03*

The Sparkle Plus button doesnt work. 

My mental health has taken a dip over the last few years and im starting to believe that if i make a routine for myself, despite how much I hate them, i can manage it easier or at the very least alleviate some stress. 

I enjoy how the app works, it suits me perfectly and is everything i wish for in an app, but the dark display is behind a pay wall and it limits you at 5 “sparkles” until you pay for the Plus option. And i want it, it’s cheap and even if i break my habits, i can and want to bounce back. But the button doesn't work and i dont have enough sparkles. I want more sparkles and to use the app, but the upgrade button doesnt work. Once it does, i think this app deserves stars 5

### 4/5 — Good but no PIN

*2021-11-06, version 1.2.3*

This is a really useful app for keeping track of your self care régime. Simple and easy to use.
My only complaint is that there is no way for me to secure it as my phone doesn’t have Touch ID and for some reason it doesn’t have a PIN function 🤷‍♀️

### 5/5 — AMAZINGGGG

*2023-06-21*

I loveeee this apppp.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2023-03-08*

Sehr gut und ein fairer Preis. Endlich mal kein Abo. Das muss gelobt werden.

### 5/5 — Delightful and high quality app

*2023-01-14*

Really simple and delightful app. Thank you. :)

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2022-01-25*

I needed a tracker for my self care because it’s so easy to let go of yourself. Dealing with depression and anxiety can be rough, but this reminds me to take some time to not let go of myself. I can look back and see that I didn’t forget myself. Even being mindful that I’m making a note of how I’m taking care of myself is a big deal! I feel at peace knowing that I’m taking care of myself.

### 5/5 — Thank you Sparkle

*2021-09-20*

Sparkle has become part of my daily routine and seriously helps me hold myself accountable as well as motivates me to get things done. I definitely recommend. It’s simple enough to use on a daily basis but also enough to keep me engaged. It helps you think of the positives of your day rather than the negatives.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-09-11, version 1.2.3*

I love this app. It is so positive. I’m working on self care and trying to add positive things into my days. It’s really helpful

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-03-16*

Sparkle is changing life life in the best way. So grateful for the simplicity of the app and how motivating it feels to get my Sparkles everyday. Thank you for creating this. Worth the cheap asf price tag. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — I really like it

*2021-03-06*

It kinda helps me knowing the self care counts for something

### 5/5 — Just right

*2020-10-26*

Sparkle gives me just the right amount of organization to my notes, without being overwhelming. It provides just the right amount of accountability, without being annoying. I recommend Sparkle for anyone looking for a tool to help structure their intentionality and gratitude.

### 5/5 — A really great app!

*2020-09-28, version 1.1.2*

I love this simple little app.  It’s really helpful to check in nightly to reflect on the things you’ve done and how they make you feel.  It’s definitely helped me make sure I am practicing self care every day.  I actually look forward to collecting my Sparkles every day!
