Gola - Goal Tracking

I’ve installed a dozen different goal setting apps and every single one locks all the useful features behind a $10/month fee which is a lot just a relatively simple service. The $4/year price with a $12 lifetime option is a perfect for what’s being offered and I bought it right away.

just started using and I already love the haptics! every app should use such haptics and sound feedbacks. Awesome interface as well really cool

Unique take on tasks management. Helps you turn your todo list into a goal list. I do like the UI and the pleasing themes on the eye. There are some areas I could suggest improvement. It appears the Performance level wanes the more info you add to its database. Scrolling becomes sluggish and unresponsive at times. If you delete a goal sometimes the app freezes. Search is a nice feature but you can’t find more than 2 goals at a time. It completely hides additional goals with the same search terms. It does search in both title and notes. I have tested. But still only finds the first two at most in the search results. Those basics need to be fixed before it can become a daily staple on your phone. Even still I want to use the app because it’s so cool and different. I would also suggest the sub-goals be renamed as tasks. Or let sub-goals be broken down into tasks for another layer or organization. The URL attachment is a nice feature and it even works with Callback URLs / deep links (so few apps allow tappable links to callback URLs). This lets you link to a Bear note for example to hold further details or resources for your goal / project. I love that you can add an icon or emoji to each Goal. I would like a simple habit tracking / task option for regular recurring tasks, habit or routines. It would allow you to consolidate your habit and recurring activities into one app. System Calendar integration would be icing on the cake — so you could see your day’s schedule while making your goal plan for the day. A calendar view that you could assign goals you want to work on for the day, week or month. And a log view — a way to see the progress as you check off items on your goals in one place — not just goals fully completed but those you took action on for the day. You checked off a subgoal or added a value to another goal, etc. Image attachments for goals — because a picture would provide added motivation and help you visualize the fruition of your goal. A scratch pad for time-stamped notes and ideas nestled neatly under the goal — a place for important notes about the goal, that you want to reference — that go beyond the scope of the goal description. Loads of possibilities and potential and the fact that it has a working Apple Watch app is a huge plus. I realize most of these suggestions will be thrown out into the ethers. Here’s hoping one of them might stick and that the review actually gets posted. With Apple’s ai algorithms you

This is simple, displays your goals well, no need for stock image or motivational mumbo jumbo. You set your goals, and you get to see them as widgets. - I would love to see some more patches for minor bugs and more features. But this is soooo good! No nonses, just VALUE.

Bugs

I swear I can have so many ideas and then it comes time to write them down and my brain switches into duuuuuuuhhhhh mode and I can’t think of a single thing to write! The templates are so helpful for a starting point and then expanding from there!! Loving this app so far!

The syncing issues are really prominent. It constantly forgets when I update my goals, and the icloud sync status is bugged. It always says it’s synced, when it clearly is not. The home and especially lock screen widgets are also pretty ugly in my opinion

This app is so based for tracking habits and setting goals! If you have ADHD sometimes even just remembering to brush ur teeth can funk you up but anything you wanna set a goal for can be tracked and rewarded and the interface is absolutely beautiful (hello vapor wave icon 😍) The dev is a solid dude and I’m excited to use it with the Structured Pro app. $8 is a bargain for lifetime access, how much have you spent on notebooks and planners?! 🥲🤣 Jus do it!

The UI is fantastic and I paid for a yearly subscription. However there are just so many bugs. Sometime deleting one goal will remove all the goals, and you need to force quit the app to let them reappear. Setting a progress goal with a target of zero can lead to many NaN errors. Also, I cannot find the app in the widget list. Love the haptic feedback but really annoyed by all the bugs.

Literally is like a Personal coach
