This app has saved me in so many ways. There’s little to no other apps like this, it’s simple, straight forward, and has an element of fun. It’s human nature to find satisfaction in completing tasks and getting a reward. This app allows you to type in whatever tasks you wish and/or need to complete in a day/week/month/year. Completely customized. You can add coins to each task, for example, “finish 30oz of water” could be worth 1-2 coins once completed, but “workout for 1 hour” could be worth 5-10 coins. However you want to do it! I struggle with feeling like there’s not enough time in the day, and then find myself upset and frustrated at 7pm when I haven’t completed any of my personal goals. You also write in your own “rewards” for when you have enough coins. For example, “treat yourself to something in your shopping cart” can be at 100 coins, so when you’ve reached 100 coins from completing all those tasks/goals for yourself, you can feel good about buying that pair of shoes or whatever it may be! All in all, I can see myself sticking with this app for a long time. I definitely recommend to anyone struggling with keeping a routine.

This app is one of the only available on the App Store that applies the concept of gamifying your to-do’s and tasks. I have no idea why this is such a difficult and rare undertaking since it’s such a popular and robust concept. This app is well thought-out. There is room for it to be a bit more polished and intuitive but given how limited the field is, I have to applaud it for existing in such good shape at all. Keep up the work guys!

Finally an app that tracks your habits, lets you earn custom rewards and then cash in those rewards for your own custom prizes. It’s work the $10 premium just for that. It’s made a big difference for me - you just need to design your system and stick to it. For me, I allocated a certain amount of real dollar per month for rewards, equated one dollar per “coin,” and then I made sure that the total amount of “coins” I could earn in a month doesn’t exceed that budget. I also don’t let myself buy anything without first earning enough coins. It motivates me to do my good habits and, at the same time, cuts down on my over-spending. I’m very hard to self motivate and self regulate, but somehow the complexity of my system and the frequent rewards (each time I get a coin for a good habit) keeps me in check. The app needs a few more versions, though, before it’s really great. There are still some translation issues that make it difficult to understand sometimes, and there are some bugs that, for instance, reset my daily counts a few hours before they’re supposed to. The task timing functions I’ve never seen a need for, so I can’t comment on those. Overall, it’s worth a try and in my opinion worth a purchase to at least support the developer so they continue to make improvements.

Best app I’ve used so far
