Hey guys! So I just discovered this awesome new app and I can't stop raving about it. I've only had a chance to play around with the formalizer and judge features, but let me tell you, they're absolutely priceless! This app has the potential to be a total game changer and I truly believe it will improve my life in so many ways. I'm already blown away and can't wait to dive into the other features. The only minor downside I've experienced is that the app can sometimes crash, but it's such an amazing app that I can't deduct any stars for that. I'm hoping the developer will release an update to fix that issue soon, but in the meantime, it's not a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I'm loving this app and can't wait to see what else it has to offer!— ps I used the formalizer to make this rating “more sociable”Edit: The app is now crashing for me every time I open it and I feel like I am in the first stage of the grieving process because I’m hoping that this is just a one off thing and this is not gonna be a permanent thing because this app is a necessity for me, I don’t use it every day but when I do use it, it is invaluable and worth every cent I spent on it. I need this app to at least only crash every now and then. please developer gods and grant me a miracle update to fix this issue. This app is such a blessing please don’t let it become obsolete into by being inoperable.
Gamechanger for Neurodivergents

I'm so glad I get to be the person who gives this its first review! Goblin Tools is an AMAZING app for NDs, in particular autistic people and/or ADHDers. I happen to be both (as well as bipolar) and so the struggles with executive dysfunction and social interests are manifold. The app's many tools are all so great, some of which are quite unique. I swear, this is a to-do list app unlike any you've seen. I've tried them all. None of them are designed to tackle executive dysfunction like this. I could go on but I'll wrap up here. The website is still available for use free of change & the creator says it'll always stay that way. If you can't spare the dollar for the app, you still need to check out the site. I can't emphasize enough how helpful it is. I chose to buy this app to support the creator, it is well-worth much more than this honestly. THANK YOU to the creator, I use the Magic To Do List every single day and it has literally made every day of my life better. I use it so much I nicknamed it "Gus the Goblin"! 😚Thank god for your brain, as these are such unique & important tools. And to everyone out there reading this review who are on the fence: just give it a try. You will not regret it, I promise.

I downloaded this last night and I absolutely love it. I have a very hard time with managing tasks and this app makes it so much better. Saying that as I was using it I found myself wishing there was certain features with your magic to do list. One is that I wish I could save certain tasks in how I edited them. I love organizing and I love seeing an empty list, so I prefer to delete tasks after I have finished them. But when I typed it in again I didn’t see my edits. I would love to see a save feature added. Another thing is the app automatically puts tasks into certain categories and sometimes the categories don’t make sense, leaving me wishing I could edit them or create my own. the last thing I wish is that I could set certain tasks to “daily” or “weekly” or “every other day” so I know what I have to do when I wake up in the morning. Having the AI is helpful to an extent because it’s a huge help to get me started with my day and tasks and having ideas to break things down when I’m having a rough day. I feel these features would be helpful for everyone and would want to me make me recommend this app more than I already have. I really hope you consider these additions. Again I love and Im very thankful for this app already. I also have other ideas on improving the app but I feel like I have rambled on long enough, but I’ll let you know them if you are interested.
Slay. Add more

To be honest. This app iconic and I do not use it nearly as much as I should because it’s so unbelievably helpful. Especially as a broke college kid. The chef feature is so nice. However I have noticed that it will use every ingredient on your list if you give it the opportunity to… it’s a bit frustrating I can say I want to make creamy mashed potatoes and it will give me a basic recipe for mashed potatoes. Which is fine. It’s great actually. If that’s what I was actually looking for. I was looking to know what I could add to make those potatoes creamier (I’m just gonna experiment I think). It led me to wonder why there isn’t a general questions section.. the entire app is based on AI so theoretically having an “ask a question” area isn’t out of line for what the app is capable of. Neurodivergent people tend to not only need specific directions (of which the app is very good at), but we also tend to have very specific questions on how to exist that we just can’t find the answers for. I think having an AI section dedicated for questions on how to be an adult is a good idea personally. Not everything is a task that needs to be broken down. It’s simply a question we need an answer to ya know? Don’t get me wrong tho. I’m not bashing the app whatsoever. It’s literally the best app I’ve ever bought and forgot about and wish I hadn’t forgotten about😭
V2.1.1 is here! A much cleaner native app, with support for Pro accounts with full syncing and all the other fanciness. It's also a new base to build up from, including (some time in the future) widgets, notifications, and more!
Now with added bugfixes!
