It has potential but it's not quite there yet. The rewards don't feel rewarding enough, so in the end it doesn't serve the purpose. The hunting is really boring and only works after you accumulate quite a lot of points. It would be more effective if we could hunt by difficulty so it doesn't feel like a punishment instead. And I would also love it if we could skip or have an auto mode for it, since the continuous clicking just annoys me. I use it as a side app, because I enjoy the daily quests.

Hey Caladiel! Thank you so much for your candid and honest feedback. I hear you on your pain points that you've experienced. We really do recognize these things you brought up and have plans to improve them and make the experience more rewarding! I'm so glad you still enjoy the daily quests in the meantime though. -Ryan

Honestly... It's much more gamified and stylish than another one I tried before (which was rather just a to-do list with points attached). But, still it rather looks like a prototype. Pretty empty, seemingly similar state as reported in last year's reviews. And with those subscription prices you could just vibe code so much already?

I've used task management apps, they didn't last more than a day. I'm only a week in, but, this app has helped to motivate me. Being able to pick daily quests has meant I've taken time for myself, I've used guided meditation and still managed to achieve more off my "chores lists" than I have in a while. Which in turn makes me less stressed also. I look forward to updates to the hunting game play. I would like it though if my tasks refreshed d/w/m regardless of if I completed the entire task.
