Overly complicated. Not at all intuitive. I downloaded this app to help me handle my severe ADHD but it's so hard to understand all the menus upon menus. I can see how this sort of setup would be useful for some people but I find this app to be needlessly complex for no real benefit to myself. And any app that requires an email, a tutorial, and a set of instructional videos to understand is not very ADHD-friendly. I'll be switching back to Habitica, it's far more intuitive and useful for me.

Thank you for expressing your opinion. Indeed, our app is very different from the one you mention - we wish you best of luck with it!

Nice, but OVERCOMPLICATED! Not for the average user. It feels very personalised, like it is someone's life or brain that they have laid out in an app. The idea is definitely there, but it needs some simplification. I really want to use it, but trying to get my head around setting a goal, then adding a task, which category or value it goes in?? By the end of it feel more confused than hopeful I'm so sorry to say. Just some constructive feedback for the designers, and nothing personal.

I am eagerly learning how to set up Goalist. It may seem complicated at first but it is super well designed and the videos and blogposts are very helpful. So far almost every 'problem' I saw with the app at first has immediately evaporated once I found out the intent or method behind it or changed a setting somewhere (there are so many configuration options! difficult to find until you know where to look, but great). I do have a couple of glitchy-seeming issues though, I can work around these but perhaps the developers would appreciate knowing: 1) the arrows to nudge a task up and down do not work as intended; I have to re-select the task for each arrow press (this is of course very time-consuming if, say, i need to move one task from the bottom to the top of the list) Incidentally, is drag-and-drop not an option for re-ordering tasks? I wondered if there was some specific rationale behind it not being used here. 2) the same problem is true of the plus/minus 5 minute nudge buttons: these only work for one press before becoming inactive until I de-select then re-select the task. A little tedious. Perhaps, much like the re-ordering, a dragging option could also be a consideration for this function? Nevertheless a wonderfully designed system which I look forward to putting into practice. Thank you
