Happier

I downloaded the app for the Get Outside 23 in 23 challenge and have a “Don’t Break the Chain” Aim set up but it is very buggy. Every time I log that I completed it, there are random entries making my chain look broken when it shouldn’t be. I emailed customer service and they got me to confirm app version and time zone (both were correct) and then told me it was a time zone problem and they couldn’t fix it. Based on this, I won’t be paying for a subscription. I had higher expectations for such a simple app. If you can’t do simple, then how can you charge?

I was enjoying the app in its initial launch. As soon as it made me subscribe, I can no longer get into the app. It asks me to login and after I do it confirms I’m subscribed but then I get an error screen I can’t close to get into the app. Very frustrating. Updating my review. The bugs noted above were fixed. I’m enjoying the app very much but will not likely renew when my free trial ends. It’s overpriced. I’d happily pay $2-$3 a month for this app but not $10. If the price were lower I’d give 5 stars.

I thought there was a free trial yet I was billed for a month right away I would not have minded paying for it because it looked good and I enjoyed the two times I was on it. Just could never get back into it despite my best efforts to reset password etc. I was stuck in an endless loop and couldn’t figure out where to go for help as there were no options to report a problem other than this request to review Hoping this might be the way to let folks know there’s an issue. Thank you

The price tag of this subscription does not match up with what the app actually does. (App subscriptions are terrible anyways) It’s a waste of money. It’s too bad, normally I love everything Gretchen does, this was a disappointment. I give this app a big Happiness Demerit.

There are just so many different problems with this app I don’t even know where to start. The app itself is pretty simple. It’s a tracking app that lets you take photos, keep a journal, etc and reminds you to log your goals. Nothing unique or fancy about it, which is fine except they want you to pay $100 per year to use it, or $10 a month. Yes, they want you to pay that much for something that only combines the camera, notes, and reminder apps on your phone. Not to mention the sheer number of bugs on this app! It freezes, it crashes, it logs you out and won’t let you in claiming your password doesn’t fit the criteria when it does. Not sure how the developer thinks this is worth the price they’re asking, but maybe they should try making an app that works first. That would be a good place to start.

When I “spin the wheel,” the instruction does not come up on the full screen. only about a quarter of the top of the “page” with instructions appears and when I try to slide it up, it disappears and my count for the day is exhausted, as if I was able to complete the task. I am on an iPhone, os version 14

When trying to create an account, I keep getting a pop up saying password must be 8+ characters with an uppercase, symbol, etc. I'm entering passwords that meet these criteria but the pop up persists. Haven't been able to enter anything that works as a suitable password according to the app

I just started with this app, and I love it! It’s a great hack for keeping track of habits. After a few days I subscribed. There’s so much good information, and I keep making new aims/habits to track. I especially like tracking with photos since this is something I couldn’t do in a note book. Also, spinning the wheel feature is fun for inspiration. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out yet is how to track using more than one method, like a journal AND a photo. I do think it’s a bit pricey so I’m not sure yet if I’ll keep it long term.

I remember having this app the last time I had an iPhone (10+ years ago) and thought it was a brilliant idea. Was SO excited to download it again. So sad you had to ruin it by caving in to the whole “subscription service” mentality that is choking society to death these days though.

This app is so much fun. I am a rebel (see tendency quiz) and making things fun and interesting is what helps me get things done. There is so much helpful advice, tips, quotes and that wonderful little color wheel that spins me into accomplishment! Yay, Gretchen! Loving the podcast too!
