Needs personalization
Just started using the app. Right away I noticed that everyone starts with 12 spoons. But not every day starts with 12 spoons in real life.
Also if one could personalize how many spoons each activity costs the individual, it would give more meaningful data
Needs more activities to choose from.
Also if you could have a category for naps (as opposed to just breaks) because a 5 minute break might replenish one spoon, but a 3 hour nap might replenish 5

Great but accommodation request
I really like this app. My main complaint is the distracting blue bar with bubbles on the right. I cannot not see it when I’m trying to concentrate on logging, and on low spoon days, it’s basically impossible for me to use the app. Can you make it still so i can concentrate on the log? Thanks for the app!

Carry over
This is a good app to track your spoons (energy points) and helps you realise what little tasks take energy. Improvement - carry over to the next day any plus or minus spoons. Every day starts with 12, even if you borrowed from the next day! Please edit it to show actual spoons available based on borrowing or spare spoons.

Didn’t even give me a chance
It wouldn’t even let me sign up. All of my emails wouldn’t register and I tried 3 different ones
Dark mode please !
I would use it if it was accessible. A dark mode option is absolutely essential for me.
Thank you
I’m trying to manage my energy via spoon therapy. Having the app really helps. I know I use more than 12 spoons per day. But I don’t know what my magic number is. So I’m tracking everyday over a month and get an avg spoon count. For free 5 stars but I would like a few adjustments. Ie once I get my spoon count for ME I would like to change the number of spoons I start with.
Thanks you for making this app.

So far so good - ish
Only one complaint so far, please offer a dark mode!!!
Just downloaded, can’t wait to try it!
May 30, 2024: Downloaded app, have yet to open it and try it.
***I update all my reviews based on how well they are performing for me or when things improve or have issues and I always date my update.
Based on the app page description, it looks really worth trying out! I had to download it to rate and review so I wanted to mention that I was hesitant to download it though because I can only see if one review listed and it was from a year ago and the last update was awhile ago aswell. But I took a chance, gave 3⭐️‘S for now cuz no ratings or reviews and updated so long ago. Also I had to download it just to leave a comment or ask a question. If it works as great as I imagine it would supposed to based on the description and the photos on the app, then I can see it being 5⭐️‘S no problem.

Basic but brilliant!
I have ME/CFS and this has been a game changer as a part of my pacing toolbox. It helps me see what uses the most spoons and to pace effectively. I have had significantly less crashes since starting to use the app. I use it in conjunction with Visible app and the two together help me track my baseline and spoon usage.
Some welcome improvements would be: ability to change starting number of spoons each day; ability to save a master list of common tasks so that they can be easily added to each day without typing; ability to import tasks from days further back than 1 week; ability to export individual days for reference.
But overall it’s really useful. 😊

Love it, but I wish there was better tracking
I love that I am able to track my spoons in the day, but it would be lovely if the spoons I borrowed from tomorrow were displayed instead of starting me at 12 again. For example, yesterday I borrowed 11 spoons from today, so it should start me at one instead of 12. If there's a way to do that, please do!! It's hard for me to keep track of how many I'm borrowing from the next day when it starts me at the same amount again.

App Costs Valuable Limited Daily Spoons
This app is helpful for learning the application of spoon theory, but it doesn’t allow for repeating activities like work, getting up, getting dressed, taking meds. These are daily tasks. Having to enter every activity, every day, manually is tedious and cumbersome. In fact, this app ends up costing a spoon or two everyday. It does not link intuitively into one’s daily life. Plus, it doesn’t subtract a spoon when you “borrow from tomorrow,” so it’s inaccurate; causing users to have to remember to add in the borrowed spoons from previous days, costing more time and energy, and making it even more cumbersome and time consuming.
I really wanted this to help, but it’s just not a valuable use of limited daily spoons.

Great Tool for Spoonies!
I have Alzheimer’s and I struggle with maintaining balance while managing daily tasks and the various challenges of each day. Spoon theory is new to me, but it’s the perfect metaphor for my life. And this app does a wonderful job of putting that theory into positive forward-moving action.
I am grateful for this great new tool, but especially to Julie for her one-on-one work with me on the app. How often does one get to actually speak with the developer? With this company, your feedback truly does make a difference.
I can’t believe this app is free! I look forward to using it daily and to being a part of its evolution. Keep up the good work! 🥄

Copy overkill
I absolutely love this app, but for one thing (fix this and I will definitely change my rating to 5 stars). I click on the “copy (insert day)” because I want to copy it for another day, But hello, it repeats it on that day (ie I said copy Fridays activities because I want to put on Monday and Wednesday and Friday next week, but instead of doing able to paste, I looked on the original Friday and it had repeated the same thing), like why do I need the same thing twice on the same day?
Thank you

just what i was looking for
i’ve been looking into energy accounting and spoon theory and i never thought i’d be able to make it fit for me. i got stuck on assigning everything a set number and thought it was all too complicated to help.
but this is nearly perfect.
my only notes are that the “borrowed from tomorrow” feature doesn’t seem to actually borrow (could just be my device). i think it’d be super helpful for it to automatically update the next day’s total, or to let users manually set/edit the total spoons for each day.
also, less importantly, more just a thought for organization purposes: a sorting menu for a day’s added tasks, or the ability to manually reorder them. it seems like it defaults to alphabetical order, but it would be cool to sort by completion or time added too!
anyway, super awesome. it’s helping me learn my own patterns better and use my energy in the most beneficial way every day.

Can’t recover/change password
Attempted to set up account, but my iPhone didn’t save the random password generated so I used the “forgot my password” reset function. This would be great, except it doesn’t work. No email is sent to reset your password so there is now no way to sign in the account or reset it. I also emailed the company without a response. Very frustrating and no way to use the app now.

super helpful!!
i’ve been using this app for just a few days and its very very helpful for me. it has made it so much easier for me to quantify my energy and manage it properly so thank you!
the only note i have is the spoon indicator, the colors could be a little more clear (maybe purple and green to match the activities?) that way it would make a bit more sense at first glance!
but overall, i really love it and will keep using it. i also like that you can plan for the next day and transfer activities from the day before. it would be super cool if you could save activities for certain days, like a monday or friday too!!
anyways, thank you so much for this app, i appreciate it a lot :)

Really useful - More features would be even better
I really love this app, for someone just getting to grips with CFS/ME, this is a really useful way for me to begin to see where I'm using my energy, and some ballparks for how many spoons some activities are. You can edit how much they are as well so I'm not sure why that's being suggested as not possible!
My one wish would be to be able to export the notes on each day, I've been using this to help keep track on what happened on certain days and symptoms so this would help me see the spoon use Vs symptoms and details of that day. Thanks for making this app.

I really really want to love this App…
This Idea is absolutely amazing and I appreciate and applaud you for first taking this concept on & then either having or learning the skills to make this App to begin with! Please I Really want this App to succeed and I will be showing it to my Doctors that handle chronic illnesses to hopefully help promote it some more seeing as I have quite a few Doctors in the Mayo system.
But having said that the app is not useful for me at current. The reason being is that my illness heavily influences how much energy I start out with each time I wake up, which is multiple times a day. Sometimes my energy may improve after getting more sleep, while other times it will just tank right out, only to rebound a little bit the next time I ‘nap’ – for lack of a better word to use as they can last from as little as a few minutes to multiple hours – which means I and others like me, would need more flexibility and control over their spoons and possibly be able to track around sleep patterns. I would also love to have the luxury of having just one day of a full 12 spoons, but I haven’t had one for over a decade now and I doubt I will get one anytime soon. So allowing those of us that don’t quite reach the daily 12 spoon allotment would be helpful.
😊 If you take in the original creator of this theory had said and insinuated in her conversation with her friend on the topic; She’d explain that each day when she woke up was different and she’d had to basically work with what she woke up with that morning as that was all the energy her body was able to regenerate over night for her to use the next day. So when she only found 12 spoons nearby and handed it to her friend, it had inadvertently demonstrated the concept she had been trying to convey, more poignantly than any words could, and then driven home by a firm and serious ‘No’ from her when her friend has tried to see if she could get more spoons when she’d told her friend that was all the energy she had for the day and every action she did would cost her a spoon.
This was a demonstration though, not a definitive measurement of the amount of energy everyone with a chronic illness could, should, or will fit into. Allowing for more flexibility in adding more or less spoons as they feel fit their energy levels that day and then allowing the users the control to decide the value of the Spoons to Energy ratio and calculate how that best fits into their life balance. People don’t typically like to be pigeon holed into one format of how to view things, but lack the ability, energy or simply don’t care enough to put forward ideas to help improve something so they pass it over as not useful to them so why bother.
I believe this app has a lot of great potential to help a lot of people gain a bit of control back into their lives. So I really hope you keep going and don’t give up. You’re doing great and have an amazing start!

Helpful for pacing
I love the idea of this, and the fact that you can add your own activities.
I don’t understand why when I “borrow” spoons from the next day, when I then get to that day I still have 12 to work with.
That doesn’t help me to track it.
In general I appreciate the ideas and the way I can use it to pace my days out with EDS.

Excited to see but needs more flexibility
I have chronic fatigue and one thing I have discovered is that I don’t start each day with a full set of spoons. I would like to see a percentage in quarters or something for how I think my day starts and then add a activities throughout the day. My Dr and I have been working to identify how many spoons activities take on any given day so I’m excited to see that I can adjust the spoon usage. I look forward to using this app in my daily life to help discover what drains me and what fills me.
