1. [R2] Productive 4/5 · US Exactly what I was looking for: I wanted an app that would let me set daily goals, but also goals that could be 3x per week at my discretion which day or on set days. I didn't think there would be an app that would perfectly meet my needs, but this one does. Perfect and worth the 3.99 for the paid app that lets you have more than five reminders. Update after lots of use: The only reason I dropped
2. [R8] Productive 5/5 · US idea suggestion: i absolutely love this app. i’ve even using it and things i always wanted to be habits are now habits. one suggestion, and it’s really not a big deal, is to allow the user to add their own measurements. for example for a reading goal, the user could enter chapters scenes etc. many of the habits i have or want to have don’t fit well with the pre-determined list of measurements
3. [R54] Fabulous 4/5 · GB Great for focus: I’ve just started this app, and I’m keeping up with the positive habits
4. [R79] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Confusing: I’ve found this app completely overwhelming and confusing. It links to so many other apps, which means I’m not sure which one I should be using for what support. The story telling whimsical approach does not work for me and some of the approaches are basic, things I already do.
5. [R6] Productive 3/5 · US Needs improvement: While I enjoy this app, there are some updates that have long been needed that haven’t happened. For instance, not being able to set a routine at a regular regular interval (every other day). After years, they have not added this feature and it’s making it hard to continue to use this app. For the price I would have expected better updates. Won’t be renewing next year.
6. [R39] Productive 2/5 · US Good app, but not worth price: I’ve used this app for a few years, but never understood why it cost as much as it did. It’s simple and easy to use, but has limits on the customization. I still had to use the Reminders app for a few tasks that required more specificity than Productive allows (for example, something that needs to be done on the 4th Saturday of each month). But now that the develops
7. [R78] Fabulous 2/5 · GB Can’t cancel: I hope this is a me problem. This hasn’t helped my ADHD at all there’s too much fluff on the app, and feels very “just go for a walk” energy. and I wasn’t aware of how much it would be per-month. Trying to cancel and keep getting errors on signing in. I feel like I keep getting swindled by these apps that claim to help with ADHD. And they latch on to impulse difficulties. Though..
8. [R90] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Utter rubbish: Horrendous UI, all gimmick, no substance and deliberately designed to work AGAINST ND people instead of for them.
9. [R10] Productive 1/5 · US Has bugs. Too expensive.: They just more than doubled their yearly subscription and have not been fixing bugs or introducing new features. App looks the same after two years. Timer doesn’t work half the time. You have to quit and restart for your changes to show. Finally cut the cord and found a new app. So much happier.
10. [R21] Productive 4/5 · US Great App but Expensive: I have used this app premium version for two months now. It has been amazing. It is exactly what I need. A habit tracker where I can actually analyze the data to see which habits I still need to work on. I gave it 4 stars because I’ve been having issues with its timer feature. If I turn on the timer and move to another app, the timer stops working. If I play music or a v
11. [R100] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Completely over priced and sly: Be really careful with this app. The subscription is outside of the apple subscriptions and is really hard to cancel. The app is really slow and annoying. I didn’t find it helpful. I wouldn’t bother
12. [R9] Productive 3/5 · US Too expensive: The app was a 5 star before. It did everything I needed for $30 a year. But they recently changed prices to $80 per year, which is outrageous. Deleted the app. Sad to see it go, but I’m not paying that price :/
13. [R12] Productive 1/5 · US They are doubling price: Used to love this app but next year are doubling the price to $80 a year that’s insane and I will not be renewing my subscription
14. [R53] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Scam behaviour: Be very careful when signing up for this app - they pull you in with free trial where you ‘choose’ what you pay - as money is tight I went for the lowest option of .0.89p a month - it then asked me if I wanted to try different ‘sections’ of the app which turned out to be more apps charging between 22.99 a month up to £35 a month and I only found out when they tried to take over £12
15. [R67] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Takes money without your consent: If I could leave zero stars I would. I downloaded the app a few days ago just to get an idea of how it works and I’ve just been charged £34.99 and been upgraded to a premium account without my knowledge! No way of being able to speak to anyone. I don’t even know how they took the money, it’s not gone through my Apple account as there’s no subscription or email rec
16. [R42] Productive 1/5 · US Poor customer support: Great app, poor support. I’m a paid web-based user and iOS app stopped being able to access data recently and support emails go unanswered.
17. [R57] Fabulous 1/5 · GB It’s a Scam! aggressive and stealthy billing, impossible to contact customer support or get refunds: Do not download the app, and do not sign up
18. [R64] Fabulous 1/5 · GB Shocking: I cancelled my subscription, one year on it took money out of my bank!! SHOCKING!!! Do not sign up for anything with this app!
