Strangely, the app does not remind hourly like it promises...is this due to a glitch in its system? The tags, color schemes, and customizable options are beautifully designed. Would love more back up capabilities. Also, to those complaining about the 'reset' button being unavailable---when you create the goal, check 'remind daily' and 'repeatable'. Everything is clearly atated in the tutorial!!!
I purchased this app with high hopes but am disappointed. I guess I thought I was getting a daily goal tracker as opposed to an overall goal tracker, meaning that (for example) my goal of stretching for 15 min in the morning would illustrate 100% success upon completion, and the next day start back at 0% . instead, the next day will read "200% success". I reviewed all my settings several times but haven't found it to be the most intuitive UI (though it LOOKS sleek). Reimbursement?
I still like it for the reasons listed below, but an update would be nice. It has room for a few improvements, but it is great for tracking goals. Also had a personalized response to a question/problem I submitted via email within 30 minutes. Honestly now that I've been using it steadily for the last two weeks, I'd be pretty upset and totally lost if I didn't have it.
Neat idea, like the look & love the widgets, but - the bars don't reset, only if I leave the phone running & the app open in the background at the reset time (midnight). Which, for me, is a bit too much to ask for. Also, manually adding time via calendar doesn't always work. Fixes & a rewrite have been promised, but so far the last update dates back to October 2015. Disappointed atm. I'll certainly update this when fixes/a rewrite roll out, though.
How do you import exported data??!! Otherwise just give my money back pls. --- Having to back up.. possibility of losing data/don't know how to import. Why not create a OpenID with Google or something? At least in the Pro version.
I've used this for one day- it's very motivating. I like the fact that you can time tasks make bullet points or have amounts. I also like that you can control the color and also label goals. What I would like to see is having some the overall score adjusted based on what you've accomplished and the ability to change the order of the goals around so the most important ones are at the top. Reward spound is very loud it would be nice to be able to customize how loud the sound is or choose my own song or sound
Can there be a big screen for the timer - the uncluttered look as the is in the default clock timer. Will make seeing it so much easier. Just stop and start buttons that's all.
It would be awesome if I could upload my data from my previous phone. In all other respects a great app. Does what it promises. A good motivator! And the stats graphs are perfect for evaluating my progress and upping my goals. Thanks!
I've been using it for months and am pleased with how my habits and goals have benefitted. The dev team responds fast to suggestions.
I used the free version for a few weeks before upgrading to the paid one. Its really been amazing at helping me track my goals in a visually appealing way. Its simple, customisable and fun to see how I'm travelling with different sorts of goals.
After my phone completed a system update, the app freezes and closes frequently (every use). I like this app but please fix this issue.
The colors and patterns you set in the app are not available in the widget!
אפליקציית טובה ,צבעונית, וקלה להתאמה, אהבתי
Love it!!
A good app, but there's a LOT of room for improvement - if it were more customizable and easier to arrange tags, for instance. The app crashes pretty frequently on my phone, as well. It lets me add multiple widgets, which I appreciate, but they "get confused" and start showing random things from the other widgets... so they're kind of unusable. Looking into finding a replacement app.
This app is great, and I love the design, especially that you can colour-code the bars (helpful) and the patterns. It's very polished and nice to use. I do wish it was easier to enter data for the previous day though - like if you could swipe left and see all the previous day's bars. At the moment if you forget a day you have to go into each bar separately to edit. :)
I like this implementation of habit tracking. I've tried a lot of good things but this one resonates with me.
Track your goals and gain experience. Great app!
The goal charts are confusing and arent showing my progress please fix! I wish the goal charts were easier to access on a separate page where i can see all of my goals statistics on one page so i dont have to click each one to see progress. I wish there was an overal goal tracker/streak tracker chart so i can track my progress of all goals at once.
App does not function as described in the tutorial. Company said a fix was coming soon...that was a while ago. However, it reminds me of daily goals but graphics are rudimentary.
I've tried many app before but never really satisfied until I found this app! The interface design is simple and easy to use. Plus, it's an unique concept to make a bar and level up things
I believe this app may soon become a staple on my phone and in my life.
I'd love to be able to add up a group of counters to their total
Please add cloud support. It would be aweeeeesome!!!
I purchased it and it instantly stopped working. I want a refund.
I have used a few other habit tracking apps and was generally pleased until I tried to simply track the number of times I do x per week without specifying a number of times per day. This simple use case was very convoluted on many of the competing apps. Not on this one. I quickly upgraded to pro and will tell others about this app.
The only thing I would add it's the ability to reorder items in the checklist. But other than that everything works perfectly.
THANK U. I've always wondered why I couldn't find any app that took the bars formats of exp n lvl ups n applied it to a goal setting approach. I can get so much done in mmo games because of all the task bars. Now i can set my everyday tasks up this way too :) All you guys need is some way to make a talent tree (of goals that lead from objective A to B using prerequisites X, Similar to skill trees in WoW vanilla...) n u guys r GOLDEN. Thx for the great app for us bar oriented gamers!
Establishment of routines and good or bad habit building or breaking is no picnic. Motivating as it is to see yourself making progress with such efforts is helpful but (often) impractical...if your kids need to establish&maintain a regular routine w measurement of goal-oriented efforts @ school/home you could track it applicably by time (i.e.time spent gaming) or #qty.(I.e.# of days they independently woke up,ate,got dressed&ready 4 school,on time) or w/itemized checklist of (chores&homework 4 the day)
Closest thing I've found in the app store to a "personal brownie point system" I began keeping in Excel 6 years ago. Missing a lot of minor things that I feel like will smooth out as more development time is given to it: modify task names, updated Android time picker, stats for repeating checklists, etc. Personally not a fan of the beige background, but that's a relatively minor detail for all this functionality. Keep up the good work!
Great app. Only thing I would really like to see is the ability to factor in things difficulty and necessity to goals/tasks so more difficult tasks are worth more experience. Other than that very nice
I bought this app because I really like the widgets. When I started using this app, everything worked fine with a few minor bugs but I have had nothing but problems with the widgets since the last update. When I have more than one goal widgets , all the goal widgets will copy the content from one widget so it like I have 3 of the same goal widgets although originally 3 different goals. The same problem happens with tasks widgets. Also you can import data you exported.
I love how it is just so simple. it doesn't even pretend to be a to-do app. Habit building is not built on a "get'er done" model. It's built on repetition. This makes accomplishments feel fun and easy. Love the customizations and colours. I've only used it for a day and love it so far. Will see how it goes. It has a a great widget and custom reminders. Great job!
I love the app and i m curious about what the future brings. I d have 2 features I d like to see: 1. There is an export option but I don't see the restore, so maybe at that 2. Maybe add an option to customize the second bar color too
Not only is this exactly what I've been looking for, it is also beautifully done! Thanks!
Maybe some future additions could be additional fonts and ability to re order bars. Best all I have for goal though thanks!
People complained about missing features like sort, etc but it allows you to do what most gripe about. I love the level up feature.
I have some difficulty navigating, but I love the customizability
Would have been a five star, but there is no syncing! All apps sync now, so this developer is behind the times!
