There is less pressure to stick to a format and make it pretty. I use this app more than others because of its simplicity, reminders and routines. There are aspects that need to be refined, and there are some bugs. Fortunately, tetr is responsive to user feedback. This app is gaining popularity. So if you're on the fence about making the Pro purchase, it'd be a good idea to do it now. <3 **Developer response:** Great to hear you’re enjoying the format and thank you for the kind words! A lot on the way which should improve and stabilize the experience. ### 5/5 — Best productivity app *2024-02-22* I have tried dozens of productivity apps. Tetr is by far the best. It is very intuitive and fun to use. **Developer response:** Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lifetime pricing dropped *2025-08-10* The developer knows only one thing, to keep raising the price and now he has dropped the lifetime pricing also. Too expensive for what it does compared to similar apps that do the same job better. **Developer response:** Hey, the Mac version has been out for only a week and the iOS subscription pricing has never increased since releasing more than a year ago so I am quite confused by what you’re referring to. Offering lifetime was, as was clearly noted for well over a year, for limited time only and took a big initial toll on our resources so it could not be offered with the reoccurring server costs and the planned collaboration feature updates. Current offerings are meant to support the early days of the project. In the coming update we will be improving the free tier so you may find better usage of this. Please reach out to support@tetrify.com about this and we can try to find a solution, would love to hear further feedback. ### 3/5 — Didn’t live up to expectations *2025-03-02* I was excited to use this app only to find out, not all journal entries are shown in summaries. Tasks don’t have a checkbox for each day. And overall the advertised UI seemed much more cleaner. I was disappointed. Hopefully the team can work to improve it overall **Developer response:** Thanks for the review, I understand your frustrations. tetr has just been through a major technical rewrite and it will take a couple more small updates for it to get properly polished. It’s still a solo effort but hoping with time it can expand into an app that works best for you! Feel free to reach out to support@tetr.app as it’d be great to learn more about the checkboxes issue, the rest are known and in the works. ### 5/5 — Mac version is even more convenient *2025-08-31* You get all the benefits of Tetrify, now on your Mac. This is so much more convenient, since I work remotely and I’m basically on my computer the whole day. Having it open on the side helps me stay on track with both my work and daily tasks. Would definitely recommend giving it a try! ### 5/5 — Compatibility with Apple Watch? Please? *2025-07-18* It will be great if this app syncs with Apple Watch, for productivity to lessen distractions. Great app! **Developer response:** Will try to look into this but focused on Mac and other platforms for the near future, thank you for your feedback. ### 5/5 — This Is My First App Store Review. Ever. *2024-10-12* I’m not lying in the header, you know. I’ve never left a review before. In fact, I’ve never left a comment on YouTube. I’ve never responded to a celebrity’s Instagram post. I’ve only recently begun to embrace even liking content. And I say all this to illustrate that what readers are witnessing right now is, dare I say it, nearly a miracle, just barely falling short of a virgin birth. So far, I approximate that my lifetime usage of the application tetr is circa 10 minutes. When I explained to my partner that I’m leaving a review, he opined that it might be prudent for me to test-run the app for at least a day before I go around propagandizing on its behalf. But within a minute of using this tool, I realized a technological asset has never before struck me as profoundly as tetr. Please know that I’m being sincere. I understand the inclination to interpret an earnest tone as a contrived one, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth in this case. I read feedback from another tetr user saying something about how valuable the app is for specifically neurodivergent customers. I have ADHD and, like many women, didn’t receive a diagnosis until my 20s. Tricks such as texting myself have been survival tools for me over the years. I can’t even remember the first time I received a message from Me, it’s been so long. And I don’t quite know what it was about tonight, but I was inspired to Google, “iPhone apps for texting myself.” The search yielded lots of results, all too boring for me to consider reviewing. But halfway through Google’s first page was a Reddit thread with the same question as mine. Somewhere, buried in the responses, was a post from (I believe) one of tetr’s developers, very humbly recommending that their app might could be, sorta, kinda, maybe an option. I downloaded the app begrudgingly; this was far from the first time Reddit successfully prompted a barely-consensual action from me. And that brings me to the present. I don’t think there’s much of a need to state why it was love at first sight for me and tetr. I drafted this review in tetr. It was the first substantive text to myself. And the fact that I’ve spent far too much of my life typing out and editing this review should stand as tenable evidence for why tetr is a future Editor’s Choice. The best ideas? They’re the ones that everybody’s already had. I’ve thought to myself probably a dozen times that there should be a thingamabob, a doohickey, through which I can text myself far more efficiently than iMessage. But the folks at tetr did what inventors do: They created the thing that everyone wants but nobody has. Tetr is a straightforward solution to a very a straightforward challenge—how best to facilitate and curate on-going self-dialogue. It’s the app’s simplicity, both in principal, design, and aesthetic, which makes the app intuitive. The tetr team has done a remarkable job of tracking the order of operations that an individual follows when they let their mind wander or they set tasks or they organize information. This app is a safe space for metacognition. Download tetr to experience the best conversations of your life…the ones you have with yourself. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the detailed review, I am glad to hear tetr has been so helpful for you! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2024-10-04* The design of this app is amazing. I use it to keep track of my random thoughts, food recipes, movie watch list etc etc I hope the developer keeps working on it - I wouldn't mind seeing more color themes & widgets. **Developer response:** Thank you, hoping it will only get better from here; will try to include some new color themes in one of the next few updates! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2024-09-21* This is a fantastic, easy to use app for reminders, daily routines, and logs. I use it every day and rely on it to remind me for taking my meds, my appointments, birthdays, etc. I’m seriously considering upgrading to the paid version, but the free version is a great start to get comfortable with it. I’m impressed by the utility, functionality, and ease of use! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We hope it'll get even better with time! ### 5/5 — Great idea, hopefully keeps growing *2024-09-15* I’ve wanted something like this app for a very long time. Eventually I hope it expands across platforms and enables syncing/backup through iCloud or other means. **Developer response:** Thank you; We have some exciting updates ahead, stay tuned! ### 5/5 — This Is My First App Store Review.
