THIS APP IS A SCAM
THIS APP IS A SCAM. Buyer BEWARE.
When I initially registered, I never received any receipt for my purchase. Shady way to engage the public, and especially shameful for a company that claims it can serve ADHD people. (Providing no roadmap or on-boarding, no receipt of purchase, and no record or instructions on how to manage the subscription seems like a BRILLIANT tactic for scamming a population who suffer from forgetfulness en masse!)
Despite that I never even downloaded the application, I could not get a refund. The best I was able to do after weeks of back-and-forth with their support team (who can take up to a full week to respond to messages) was a cancellation of my subscription and the written commitment that I would not continue to be billed.
Save your money, save your time, save your mind: DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAM ARTISTS!

A lot of money to pay for what is…
A lot of money to pay for what is effective a complicated habit tracker. I immediately deleted the app. Pity we are unable to ask for a refund in a cooling off period.

Don’t waste your money!
The app is not at all what it is advertised to be; it’s completely useless and not user friendly. I’ve tried calling customer service to ask for a refund and cancel the subscription, but no one ever answers. I’ve emailed twice with NO response. Save your money; there’s no way this app helps with ADHD.

Avoid like the plauge
I wish I'd seen some of these reviews before being drawn into this farse.
Comprehensive support package - rubbish.
A generic document with info you can find on the web and no real way of how to apply it in the app.
The personalised set up discussion with an expert, first appointment available over a month away not really set up option is it?
Emailed to express my disappointment and ask for more help, cancelled my subscription but refused a refund, even though I was CONNED and pressurised into upgrading to the annual membership at initial checkout.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

They claim you get a personalised plan…
They claim you get a personalised plan but really they send you a fully generic document. I have tried to talk to them about that but they don’t respond and also refuse to refund me.
What they offer is basically just an extended excel sheet. It is hugely disappointing.

My wife fell into this
My wife fell into this. 5 Minutes after downloading, she realized the app wasnt doing what it advertised. And overall not really useful, you can mostly track stuff you do, very time consuming. Of course, no refunds. Avoid.

Bought this thinking it will help me to…
Bought this thinking it will help me to find it not suitable and cannot even get a refund. Under the consumers act I'm sure I'm entitled to a refund as this is not suitable to me. AVOID AT ALL COSTS THEY ARE SCAMMERS.
