Read full descriptionHide full description
A Start.bio egy közösségi alkalmazás, amely a személyes fejlődést, motivációt, tudatos mindennapok kialakítását és a napi rutin követését támogatja. A felhasználók saját napi rutinokat állíthatnak be, az alkalmazás pedig értesítésekkel emlékeztet ezekre a nap folyamán. A rutin személyre szabható: megadható, hogy a hét mely napjain, és pontosan mikor érkezzenek az emlékeztetők. Az alkalmazás célja, hogy egyszerű keretet adjon a mindennapi szokások megtartásához. Az alkalmazás magyar és román nyelven érhető el.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Start.bio at none against Simple Clock's 2. Start.bio also leads on ads (none vs shown). Simple Clock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
