EffectoReviews of effecto.app

This app would be brilliant as a daily tracker, however even with the notifications as someone with ADHD this gets overwhelming and the app isn't as engaging enough to stick to using it. Unfortunately I removed the app and forgot it existed until I was billed for an annual subscription which is around £40. This is my own doing as in the policy it was pointed out to me that deleting the app etc does not cancel a subscription and a refund can not be issued. There are other comments about this online being problematic and potentially predatory for ADHD individuals. I would however suggest to Effecto that the app needs to develop further to help those who are neuro divergent. Potentially more engaging content, not a tick list but some form of interactive activity. I think if it was more visually interactive it would definitely live up to the £40 per year. I'd also suggest altering the inability to unsubscribe via the app if you have subscribed via online. Many individuals who have ADHD will not remember or find it overwhelming to have to email the team to cancel. This is why I deleted the app, I thought that would do it as there wasn't an option for me to unsubscribe. A comment trait in ADHD is forgetting important tasks etc and I think something to aid reminding users their renewal coming up would be beneficial to the app/Effecto customers, I believe the transparency would keep customers. I hope this helps if someone reads it ☺️ Overall the app works and is a great tracker, unfortunately it just didn't work for me. I get engaged at the beginning and lose interest over time. I think more development is needed but it is a good starting point.

They are so close to making a very excellent app! I think it just need a bit more customization on top of what they already have. The main thing for me is the experiments that I wish you can manually reset and there are other widgets that would work really well. Other than that the app is pretty good!

It is difficult for me yo navigate the site. I scheduled a 20 minute phone call. But no one ever called

I really like the app and I am enjoying it. Excited to learn more about it. My only disappointment is that I have had two onboarding visits scheduled and no one showed. If it weren't for that I would probably have given 4-5 stars.

This app is so granular that while the UI is great, the UE is not. Instead of having a fifteen minute introduction and explanation video, which I didn’t receive until the following day, maybe have pop ups that guide a new user step by step through all of the possibilities in the user interface: allowing them to make their personal decisions on the spot as they open the app for the first time; almost feeling like a questionnaire and a tutorial together. Same with the insights: show how the app correlates the data and invite users to prioritize what insights they are looking for from this tool. As it stands, opening the app is confusing and daunting: a wall of text that has no connection to me and worse, has no meaning in general. This sounds cheesy, but maybe like Duolingo have some sort of rewarding/encouraging art direction for successfully tracking and developing insights: you are marketing this to neuro atypicals. Logging data is torture for us, make it worth it.

Still learning, new to programm. Would like option to upgrade billing from month to month to year I wanted to try first. Like gratitude notes especially. Symptoms

I wish there was a free trial or way to preview. I thought this would be more like google fit or the fitbit app combined with noom but for adhd rather than diet/fitness. But it's really just another tracking app that I've paid waaay too much for considering I already pay for fitbit luxe.

As a spur of the moment purchase, I believe I have made a mistake. I am not finding it of very much use for my personal needs. It feels very generic rather than personal.
