I came across this app on Reddit and gave it a try. I couldn’t think of a problem to put in to “test” it, so I went with the biggest problem in my life - one I have been pondering a long time. Anyway, the app was really easy to use and understand. I began putting in the pros and cons and didn’t have to think about how to use the program, I could just focus on my thought process. I also like that there are some visuals along the way without showing the result the whole time - for example, I noticed my screen was full of green “pro” items when i started inspiring pros and cons and that made me reconsider if I was blowing the negatives out of proportion. In the end, I felt like the app gave me a nice way to think about things more objectively. And since it seems to save your work, I can go back and review later on. I have used other pro/con apps before and they felt like a calculator. This feels more like a helpful thought guide. I bought the premium upgrade and hope the developer continues to refine the process without losing what works. One minor gripe: on my iPhone 11 Pro, I have a hard time sliding the “importance” slider. I don’t know if it’s because the element is a pop-over window or what, but instead of the slider going from left to right, the whole UI panel slides up and down. I hope there is an improvement with this in future. Thanks again to the developer for this helpful app!
