Apple?!? please allow ☆☆☆☆☆ (zero stars) Ah yes, the classic “trust me bro” pricing model. Goblin Tools (or Goblin X, or whatever name it’s going by today) wants $7 a week — not month, week — upfront, no questions asked, no free trial, no sneak peek, no nothing. Just fork over the cash and hope it magically helps your ADHD brain. It’s giving “we just launched yesterday but think we’re already Headspace.” And bragging about 2000+ monthly users? For an app that supposedly understands executive dysfunction, it’s wild that they expect impulsive, skeptical, possibly broke, possibly burned-out neurodivergent people to blindly commit without even a 3-day trial. Even gym memberships know to fake generosity with a free week. This could’ve been an amazing tool. But instead, it’s a goblin with its hand out. Try again — and this time, try empathy. Shame! SHAME!
I already have the Goblin Tools app, which is free and feature-rich, but downloaded this app for the task tracker (to use for habit-tracking). First off, the app crashed in the first 2 minutes of use. Secondly, I was really disappointed by how little I can do in the free version of this app, and even more so when I saw the subscription cost. I totally understand needing the charge for operating costs and that the work devs do should be compensated. But $35/month?? That’s more than I pay for all other monthly subscriptions combined, including streaming services! Good apps are worth paying for, but I struggle to see a valid justification for what you’re charging. **For folks who can’t afford that (most of the population who would benefit from this app), please check out Goblin Tools instead. It does 95% of the what this app does at 0% of the cost and has never crashed on me.**
Honestly, this app has unique features I haven't seen elsewhere. The magic to-do list is just one of them. Highly recommend!
