1. I hope the developer(s) get the bugs worked out soon because I'd love to continue using this more, but as of now it's pretty broken and feels only 3/4 finished.I like the app a lot, it's nice to have a selection of small positive things to do that make me feel a little rush of accomplishment and also the ability to add my own power ups and quests.
2. But it helps me balance tasks, challenges, and self-care, and gives useful advice and inspiration, and it improves my mood.A little awkward in structure, but cool idea for those who love games (not really me).
3. And it would be awesome if we could with quests and experience and power up design and customize our own character! Like get outfits, see him change in size or looks, depending on what we do.
4. Otherwise, this is a uniquely childish experience for those with good habits established.It's great, but there are some things that would be awesome if could be changed, improved.
5. Wish it had a little more customization, like showing visually which trait a quest or powerup affects, and letting me group quests into small sub-groups so I could feel less overwhelmed.
6. I ended up deleting it however, for me it was more of a distraction than anything else.Would be great if it stopped bugging me to rate it every few actions (should do that no more than once daily); I haven't yet used it enough to get an idea of the details & utility.
7. I get that's detrimental to one's self, but a more guided and interactive experience could help a broader audience, children, those with poor personal habits, etc.
8. This app helped defeat my writer's block and I was able to write three pages in my notebook without self criticism.
9. For example a lot of links to articles do not work (you have hit edit, find the URL, and then copy and paste it into a browser window to learn what it says).
10. Numerous functions aren't working, like adding goals to your profile or clicking links in the quests.
11. I'll keep using this app, it's great!The app definitely needs more development, but has lots of potential.
