Remente: Self Care & Wellbeing

As an iPad Pro user for all things, the lack of being able to have the screen flip is almost a non-starter (unfortunately). But if everything else worked like a charm, maybe I would use it. I only used the free version and I personally don’t mind what some other reviewers complained about with the free version. The price point for the Premium seems reasonable for a coaching app if it is completely dialed in and the content feels valuable. Here is what I loved about the app. The interface is simple and fun to use. The wheel of happiness is really cool and the way you can scroll the timeline and see a time-lapse display of how you feel about any one sector is helpful and interesting. The journaling is nice and setting up my day was fun and easy. Why I lost my positive mojo? I decided to edit my goal. There is no button that lets you edit a goal, but there were the ... in the upper right hand corner I press them and the program terminates and I’m out. I try it 3 more times, same thing. Maybe it is a simple bug or whatever, but setting up a program like this (especially if you invest in the Premium version) takes lots of time and I just don’t want to invest my time on a program that is buggy from the get go. I may try it again some day because it has potential if the courses are good, the bugs gone and horizontal workspace available.

I have tried A LOT of apps out there that are “suppose to” help with productivity and mental health. Yet, I found myself being fatigued by poor UI design, features that focused on fluff instead of just being practical, and others that were simply bad. I found Remente by accident, and safe to say I will be a user for life. SUMMARY Smooth and fluid, with features that make sense, I find Remente very easy AND enjoyable to use (very important for a designer like me who can criticize just about anything in an app) SPECIFICS The gentle reminders, the customizable plan goals you can make for yourself, the additional help in the form of bite sized courses, are all super helpful and have added value to my experience when handling my mental health. The main selling feature though, to me, is the fact that Remente can be a resource I hand off to my therapist. She can easily comb through the qualitative data (my “journaling” in the notes section) and quantitative data (the mood scale and “8 areas of interest” wheel). It’s another way for her to see what’s going on in my life outside of her office walls. This app allows me to share more of my raw emotions in the moment rather than me just recalling them days later. Very useful. 15/10 would recommend ☺️👍 Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk lol

I decide to try out premium (for a month) after using the app for free for a little while and the possibilities used for this app expanded exponentially after I did. I take overwhelming tasks an assignments (college student) and break them down to their procedural processes very easily. Remente has you log your current mood and rate your satisfaction with various domains in your life, like career and love and relationships with frequent assessments. If I find myself stuck on a particular area of my life, I consult the courses that Remente has available to help me come up with ideas. For example, I struggle with learning names quickly and with breaking down a tasks that seem to be more overwhelming than they are (exams and other proficiencies), but with Remente’s courses on goal setting and becoming a “Name Ninja” I have helped to balance my life out considerably for the better. I look forward to how many tasks I can check off in a day and how fast I can complete my goals because I have a plan to tackle such to-dos! This app has been a blessing to a busy college student with big goals, so I highly recommend it! I paid for the year long membership for when my month membership expires! It’s definitely a great investment. (If you use this with the pomodoro timing technique or a pomodoro app you can also check off more tasks in a shorter time once you get used to it.) Lastly, I had trouble seeing my premium feature at first because I think I paid using paypal and it took longer to see or it was the weekend or something, but I messaged customer support and they were fast, efficient, and incredibly helpful and nice!
