Recent reviews

Update: The app has been buggy and unusable for a while. 2 stars for customer service acknowledging this. Hopefully, it gets fixed soon, as going online via browser isn't the best solution for me. Original: Been enjoying being a part of this research! Glad the app is working again.

I've been using this since 2020 I think to track covid stuff. I enjoy being a part of this community and look forward to the self-reflection done with each week's questions. I rated it low because, as others have reported, the app is currently buggy. In February 2023 I switched to a new phone & I get a crazy flashing screen every time I try to log in. Update June 2023: still isn't working and I haven't been able to do my weekly questions since February. Not sure what I'm expected to do.
