Gameify: Turn Life into a Game

I’ve been using this app for around two months now, and I just have to let others know how incredible it is. This is easily the best habit tracker I’ve ever used. It’s incredibly straightforward and eliminates all the extra noise and unintuitive features that typically keep me from getting started. The concept of a high score is phenomenal, and there are even metrics like your average score that help motivate you for longer term objectives. I also want to highlight how effective the basic feedback loop is in the game. I have genuinely tried like over a hundred habit apps, and many of them use streaks as motivation. Thus, when you engage in a bad habit, it just breaks your streak and feels demoralizing or feels like it’s game over. Gameify, on the other hand, just factors the loss into your total score for the day. After a bad habit, I actually find myself MORE motivated to “make up for it” by engaging more in all my good habits. I ADORE THIS SYSTEM. Last thing, the reward system is really well executed. You can add rewards and see your progress towards them. I really recommend treating them as milestones or achievements rather than hedonic rewards like a cupcake. I set mine up like achievements or ranks in a videogame and that’s worked really well for me. To the creator of this app, thank you! And please keep going with it! Also, want to make it clear that this review is not AI since it can be hard to tell nowadays… Don’t believe me? Here is nonsensical text that I think an AI would’t put in here: hjbfijnjfgjifdswuinnfzzwqtruokg. Seriously, just get the app. You won’t regret it if you give it time to work its magic.

The app is super cool, I was sold on the widgets. They're very minimal and it's motivating to try and beat your previous life score. The lock screen widget is nice also...
