Grow: Health & Fitness

I was saving for the lifetime version of this app for the past couple months, as I wanted to use a health tracking app with my watch that had extra challenges and still presented decent enough info. I checked back just yesterday and noticed they discontinued the lifetime right as I gathered enough finances to purchase it. I reached out to them and they confirmed it's unavailable now. I asked if they could make an exception as I had literally no idea this was even planned to be taken away and I received no response. I'm extremely frustrated and upset because I spent so long just to save money to buy the lifetime. I get that no one is an exception for anything, as the world doesn't work that way, but I can't lie and say this sudden switch with no notice doesn't make me absolutely infuriated and feel disregarded in every way, shape and form. Until this is fixed, my review will remain unchanged and will not be recommending GrowPal to anyone, as the devs don't seem to care much about the fairness of this situation. It just feels unethical because I quite literally was never aware of this change and spent time selling things and doing what I could to get this lifetime, as I needed something to give me motivation and make a healthy change in my life for the long run. I really thought I could use GrowPal to aid in it, but now that option is gone. I guess it's my fault for putting in my all to get this premium, but it still feels messed up and wrong to not offer the lifetime for someone who had no idea it'll be removed, and specifically saved for it. I hope this review will be seen and this can be discussed, because this feels so wrong, hurtful, and extremely unfair. It screams greed and unwillingness to help their userbase, and everyone is easily replaceable because that's just how business works. It doesn't matter at this point if there's no obligations for them to do anything about this, but the principle of the issue is where the actual problem lies.

I would love to see a few more options. Maybe the ability to add more than one photo in my journal. Maybe a way to track my supplements and medications? I know that Grow is a health and fitness tracker but maybe add more options so it’s more like a health and fitness tracker plus a mental health + self-care type tracker as well? I would just love to be able to track everything as well as journal so that this would be the one app that I use alone. ☺️ Keep up the good work! This is an app that I use every single day and love!

Rating: Overall I like it, UI is incredible and seems like it was integrated to the iPhone from the start, I don’t feel forced to complete goals, but it really gives you the feeling to. My sleep had been better, I used ignore my wind down and sleep late, but I’ve been resting the necessary amount in my age.——— Bug: When iOS 16 came out the Lock Screen widgets were working great, now the water widget seems to not work, it keeps showing I completed my water intake even though the day just started. Edit: It seems to be reading data from the previous day whenever the day starts.——— Request: It would be nice to see a lock screen widget showing the “Perfect Day” circle graph, preferably the one that does the full 360° showing the sun’s expression as it progresses like the app in the center of the circle. The widget similar to the weather would work too but I’d rather not have too much data/numbers when I first open my phone, but it would be nice seeing progress of everything rather than just one like the one that’s already integrated.
