User reviews

great app!

this app helps me reach my daily step count goal and prevents me from doomscrolling late at night as it resets the number of steps at midnight. it’s easy to use and instead of completely restricting your usage, you can earn it by getting your steps in. i highly recommend :D

Response from developer

thank you so much!! I really appreciate you saying this :)

Thank you!

This is an incredible concept I am so excited to try. Just what I need to help reach fitness goals and have accountability before letting apps distract me.

Thank you! I really appreciate it!!

Pro Plan Confusion

I haven’t actually used the app yet but so far it looks reliable and useful. I’m excited to actually try it out but I was wanting the pro plan. It’s advertised as 12.99/year but when I go to pay it says 19.99/year? Which is it and it shouldn’t be advertised as 12.99 if it’s not true. SEEMS LIKE A GREAT APP THO

Response from developer

I'm sorry about that but thank you for mentioning this! I submitted a fix for the price issue, just waiting for app review to approve the fix. For context: I updated the price but it did not update the screen in app properly. Glad you like the app so far otherwise! Email andreasink17@gmail.com - happy to share a promo code there to make up for the issues :)

Awesome app!

Really great for holding myself accountable as someone with a busy life. Great work.
