SpoonieDay 4+

Great App but could be even better

In general, I find this app super helpful in managing my spoons. It also seems that the developer is really responsive to feedback! That said, here’s some things I like and a little idea for improvement.

I like that I can put in future events so I can plan around what I will need to save or replenish spoons for later in the day. It’s also very informative and teaches spoon theory - I’ve even shared the graphics with some friends and family when I explain spoon theory to them. Between fixing the log out issue and adding the replenishing of spoons, I have noticed that the developer listens to consumers. I appreciate that the app is free but I would probably be willing to spend a small cost for lifetime access; I think it’s worth that.

My feedback is to be able to save custom spoon entries on the drop down menu. In the drop down, you can choose from pre-saved entries, but you cannot customize this. I have activities I do frequently that are either not on the list or use a different amount of spoons for me. It can be tedious to type them in each time and try to remember how many spoons it costs. If this list could be individualized, I would find the app a bit more useful in day-to-day tasks. I also agree with other reviews that being able to adjust your starting spoons would be beneficial but not as important for me personally.

Thank you for this amazing app!

Developer Response ,

We appreciate the feedback! You can copy activities from previous days now, we hope that will help save some spoons going forward. :)

Excited to see but needs more flexibility

I have chronic fatigue and one thing I have discovered is that I don’t start each day with a full set of spoons. I would like to see a percentage in quarters or something for how I think my day starts and then add a activities throughout the day. My Dr and I have been working to identify how many spoons activities take on any given day so I’m excited to see that I can adjust the spoon usage. I look forward to using this app in my daily life to help discover what drains me and what fills me.

Good app, and here are some suggestions

I think this app idea is wonderful and a great start! I would love to HAVE A way to set the number of spoons I start with on a day on a day by day basis, as sometimes it is clear I wake up with more or fewer spoons! Right now I simply recalibrate the way I use the 12 alloyed according to my energy, but if I set spoons at start of day, then I could track that as a useful metric. I’d also love to have some predetermined tasks, or be able to save tasks, like the tiimo app has. If this app could communicate with another task app (eg reminders) that could be useful — then I would have a collection of things I might want to do and I could decide if they fit my spoons. I can do that now but it requires switching between several apps. I love this app, and find it a very useful way to structure my time, as I have progressive MS
