I too got caught out by this app…. I have no idea what it does other than be a complicated personal planner. It’s terrible :( what a waste of money

Do not under any circumstances pay for any service to this money robbing platform. How they get away with the blatant mis-selling of this app is beyond me. It seems I'm not alone in falling victim to their scheme and I wish I'd taken the time to read Trust Pilot before I paid, but you know, issues with impulse control. The Instsgram ad I came across implied you would take a quiz to establish what sort of ADHD/ADD style you could be dealing with and that the app would assist you in managing some of the pitfalls of your style. It never happens. You are requested to pay money before you even catch a glimpse of your "Personalized ADHD Management Plan". I stupidly took 2 of the maybe 5 "discounted offers" they promote before they send you your plan. So £45.98 later and I received 36 pages of vague and completely generic BS about what factors in life could be making ADHD symptoms worse and how to deal with them. Nothing anyone probably wouldn't already know. The app is as equally generic as the "personalised plan". Attempts to complain and request an immediate refund are futile - "all sales are final" - spoken like true snake oil salesmen of the digital age. The practices of this organisation are shocking and they're nothing but a bunch of robbing crooks.

A quick money making scheme that targets people with ADHD. They do not care about your health. Really quite disturbing that people like this exist. The app quality was poor, with regular crashing experienced within the first hour. AVOID.

They are marketing/ selling to folks with ADHD and making their "deals" time restrictive? Talk about taking advantage of ADHD folks with impulsivivity / impulsive spending. Feels super predatory, I don't trust it. I heard it's just a tracking app from folks who fell for it.

The app doesn't do what they claim it does. 1) It's basically a tracking app for your emotional state and activities you've done. It doesn't help you manage or prioritise or schedule. 2) The app constantly crashes for me, every time I tried to input anything. I contacted customer services about this with a day of buying the product. They cancelled my subscription but wouldn't refund me the money I'd paid. They asked for evidence of it crashing and I sent screen grabs of the frozen screen and crash notifications but they wanted more evidence than that without specifying what evidence would satisfy. It massively increased my anxiety so I've written it off as another ADHD tax. As others have said, they are taking advantage of neurodivergent people.

The app doesn’t do what it says at all. I set up a bunch of timers, none of which went off. You can only tick whether you did something that day or not, so if I set up to drink 8 glasses of water, you can only tick off if you did the 8- so it’s not much good for measuring improvement, and the reminders don’t go off anyway so I forgot to do the things in the first place. It says it’s great for ADHD and then offers people a discount to try it, but then also upsells prospective customers with bigger discounts for more time signed up. I signed up for a year- it didn’t do anything it said it would and is pretty much useless to me, I asked for a refund and was told all sales are final. They are literally taking advantage of ADHD impulsivity and impulsive spending habits in the name of helping people with ADHD. Definitely would not recommend. Motion or Sensa are better apps for ADHD than this. The creators are taking advantage of peoples disability.

Beware. They don’t back up their product and if you accidentally add the lifetime service they refuse to refund. I accidentally added the lifetime thinking I would get more information first as I would like more information for an additional $99.99. But bo they charged me immediately. I immediately sent an email then disputed with PayPal. I haven’t even used the product given the response I was given. It appears to me to be a scam. There are many other diaries to use that don’t over charge. Buyer beware

Should be named un-Effecto.
