I absolutely love this app. For both me and my partner, it has inspired genuine change. I love the concept, and think it’s really nicely executed, it has helped me establish and keep up genuine habits! The only problem I am finding, is that it’s buggy. I will regularly load the app, and it won’t have caught up from the day before. I tick off habits, that will then disappear and re-appear at random points. For a day, I lost my entire character, and with it all my to-do’s / habits. Thankfully they all came back, but the other bugs still continue. Hoping it can get patched out, but I feel performance does need improving a little. Would be 15 out of 5 stars if that was the case.
Really great app and concept, needs more content

This app was really helpful when i first started it made doing tasks very rewarding, but now once i’ve got to a higher level, getting exp and levelling up doesn’t feel as rewarding as its sort of become routine and levels don’t really mean as much when you’ve already levelled up many times. And bosses don’t that challenging when you complete all dailies. I feel like the game needs more content and stuff to do/complete/unlock to make it consistently rewarding even at higher levels. Perhaps something like dungeons with exclusive rewards which require a certain amount of tasks to be done in a limited time or in one day to open doors, or a certain number of habits. Maybe some animations and backgrounds could be cool too when you deal damage to a boss, to make the game more stimulating. I really do love the concept and think it can be very successful if you struggle with productivity, but i feel more can be done to gamify it further to make doing tasks just as rewarding as a video game.
Bugged - what happened here?

I’ve used this app before without any problems and it worked fine, but after a year or so I come back and it’s really annoying.It seems like you can’t actually delete things. I tried deleting items in a checklist because something happened where I had to move tasks to sifferent days, but qhen I hit the ⛔️ (remove) button, nothing happened as if it was just a picture. I tried removing the text in the checklist item but that didn’t do anything either, just an empty task.Seeing as deleting a checklist task didn’t work, I tried deleting the whole task to start again but nothing happened after several attempts. I went to the help section in case I was doing something wrong. Went back to my dailies tab and several of my dailies, not just the trouble one, had disappeared, presumingly having been deleted when I tried deleting the first daily.I can’t be bothered to use an app that can’t edit checklists and doesn’t remove a task without from the tab immediately after it’s deleted. Plus if a checklist has say 10 items, I’m not gonna bother trying to delete the whole thing and start again. It takes up the time I’m trying to put to good use with this app. It was a great idea that worked for me in the past but for some reason is broken now. I’m only giving it 3 stars because it used to work for me and it helped me a lot in the past with studying and taking my medication. I know it’s capable of being better.If I hadn’t already had a good experience with the app, it would be 2 stars for sure.
It’s nearly there

I love this concept of getting xp for tasks and there being an incentive to being productive for people that struggle with productivity. I just wish there was a big skills list for YOU as a person as well as the character you make in game. I could be really motivated to go gym and tick those off dailies repeatedly but neglect coursework and still feel like I’m being relatively rewarded just because xp is universal to the character. I feel like the skill tree idea that is implemented in the “Become Fearless” is a great idea to add to help people identify skills they’re good at and ones they’d benefit from working on.This would also be a great idea for people that want to “gamify” their life a bit more than just get XP for a character, although I can see how that’s a fun gimmick, I personally want to feel like the character myself.See games like Old School RuneScape for a better example on the different skills layout and how players earn XP to skills. You could have a section when adding dailies and ToDo lists that add a checkbox on what skills you think each daily or ToDo would go towards up to 5, how important it is to be achieved and from that importance level out of 100 you can make people allocate, how much XP should go into each category that relates to it.Just would love to give this a 5 star and I think that’s what’s missing.
