  1. [R5] Fabulous 5/5 · US Fabulous works: I love this app it has helped me to track my emotions and what I’m doing every day.
  2. [R8] Fabulous 5/5 · US Baby steps work!: In the last two weeks, I have already been more successful at keeping a routine than I have in the previous 30 years. I recommend this app to get you started.
  3. [R17] Fabulous 5/5 · US The best: This is such a good app it has help my focus and helped me achieve my goals! And you can add one each week to challenge yourself! It’s endless and it’s there to help you! So I give it 5 stars if I could I would give it 100 stars!
  4. [R34] Fabulous 5/5 · US Good help for ADHD: This app is good to remind me of the schedule I am building and committing to, though I am still sometimes not good at follow through. I do have some things I am doing everyday that are really helping and I want to continue to see how structured I can become. Great app for helping with setting up and remembering the structure.
  5. [R11] Fabulous 5/5 · US So far, so good: New user, enjoying it so far. Easy to navigate.
  6. [R28] Fabulous 5/5 · US A Fitting Title:: So far, I have been, at the least, very satisfied with the design aspects of this app and the ways with which it goes about helping others achieve their goals. Usually, in my usage of other self-help apps, I would think something among the lines of, “Oh my! I truly cannot wait for my problems to be all better! I am immediately going to be much more of a better person with this cure
  7. [R30] Fabulous 5/5 · US Whimsical: After two days I find that I look forward to engaging with this wonderful app to stay on track with my self care.
  8. [R36] Fabulous 5/5 · US Once Upon a Time: I am only a week in with walking the Fabulous way. I enjoy using the app. Learning to set myself up for success was a foreign concept for my daily life. The app is easy to use and the resources are pleasant and helpful! As with any new tool you get out of it what you put in! I am looking forward to writing my once upon a time one healthy habit at a time! Thank You Fabulous!
  9. [R1] Fabulous 1/5 · US Ghost charges: You guys keep trying to charge my card twice! One for $29.99 and the other for $39.99. I ended my subscription literally the same day I started the free trial. I told my bank you are a fraud and they have blocked you from trying to charge. I still see you trying because I get a decline notice. STOP CHARGING ME YOU FRAUDS
  10. [R3] Fabulous 3/5 · US Major headache but i got refund: I was able to get a refund. Warning: TO SAVE YOUR HEADACHE, DO NOT SIGN UP THROUGH INSTAGRAM!!! I got charged twice on the premium plans! But thankfully customer service actually gave me a refund. Ty
  11. [R7] Fabulous 1/5 · US I feel completely misled by this app.: During onboarding, I selected a 1 euro free trial, shortly afterwards I was charged 40 euros for 1:1 coaching that I neither wanted or knowingly agreed to purchase I have already cancelled all subscription and contacted support requesting a refund but this experience has left me with a negative impression What frustrates me the most is the use of hidden s
  12. [R10] Fabulous 1/5 · US It’s so sad that an app meant to help is hurting people: I signed up for Fabulous app and then couldn’t afford the 39.99. For some reason the app didn’t have a place for me to cancel. Some kind of error within my account. So the app declined a refund. I said okay there’s nothing I can do but stop charging me moving forward. Now months later, I have another fraudulent charge and I no longer even us
  13. [R13] Fabulous 2/5 · US Well designed but deceptive pay structure: Beware this app lures you with a survey. Then it tells you to pay what you want for the survey results but that payment is actually a trial for a subscription. You never get survey results; it just directs you to begin using the app to justify charging you at the end of the trial period.
  14. [R24] Fabulous 3/5 · GB Flashy graphics, lots of upsells: Seems like a great idea and admittedly I’m only on day2 but wow there are a lot of notifications and flashing graphics that jump around the screen. So many menu options and upsells. B confusing. Feels like this is designed for (or designed by) kids. I’ll give it to the end of the week but likely this app is getting deleted. Right now I’m so glad I didn’t paid the
  15. [R26] Fabulous 5/5 · US It’s a damn good app HOWEVER …….: I just wish that it was actually free and I wish that it would stop basically trying to force me to upgrade
  16. [R18] Fabulous 3/5 · GB Avoid: Be very careful with subscriptions on this app. I signed up for a free trial, cancelled within the trial period, received confirmation, and deleted the app. Despite this, I was charged multiple times afterwards. Support later claimed I had a second subscription, which I do not recall signing up for. There was no clear indication of multiple subscriptions during sign-up or cancellation, an
  17. [R25] Fabulous 1/5 · US Be careful: Update 2: I had to escalate by filing a fraud claim with a French group that helps consumers (The Fab is a French company). That was the only thing that worked to get a refund after they continued to charge me. I read online they are considered a predatory company. This type of thing apparently happens so often (cancellation followed by continuing to charge the customer then gaslightin
  18. [R19] Fabulous 1/5 · US Cancelled but charged me anyways!!: This app is a scam. I ended up with a $40 charge without ever using the app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD
  19. [R63] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 3/5 · US It was good a few years ago but now money hungry: I’m going to get straight to the point don’t get me wrong I love this app it’s the best self care app I’ve found so far but tell me why I have to pay to add more than 8 tasks like I was excited to see new features after not touching the app for a while but I got disappointed when it didn’t let me add my whole routine without paying like I get yall
  20. [R66] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 3/5 · US ɾҽαժ ճҽբօɾҽ ժօաղlօαժíղց: Unless you pay for VIP you can only do check points in the morning so uhm yea not bad if you wanna pay for it
  21. [R73] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 2/5 · US what happened to this app?: this app used to be my favorite to use! School then started up again and I stopped using it for about two months and then I got a new phone and reinstalled it and I was so disappointed with the new version! It used to be unlimited planning for free plus extra perks but now you can only plan like five things and when you try to plan more or even a day ahead, it tries to
  22. [R78] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 3/5 · US It’s…okay.: App is very good with building routines and self check lists. But, almost everything costs money. For free, you can only get hydration checkups and one list with like five things. It’s a shame every app nowadays costs money. But, overall, it is not really bad just needs more options and abilities for people who don’t wanna pay
