  • Horrible. Malfunctions with each use.

    After performing one task and going to the Goblin Tools menu on the top right of the screen the screen will flicker & an error message pops up, a second later, the app shuts down. You have to reopen the app after only performing one task with each use. It does not save any data, including if you are in the middle of the project any step away for a few minutes it deletes all of the information you’ve typed in.

    Look I go through apps like crazy and this is the only app that I always come back to simplistic and straightforward for a neurospicy individual
  • Cool tool but sucks when you lose hours of edits

    This is a super cool idea, but it doesn’t necessarily follow through on keeping your lists saved properly. I was using the app for like an hour, editing all sorts of stuff on my list, and then all of a sudden I opened the app, and my edits were just gone. New edits that I had made in the last 5 minutes had stayed, but other than that an entire hour or two of work on my to-do list had completely vanished. I’m just so upset… and I am not sure I even want to continue editing anything if the sync screws up and deletes it all again. Because I have no clue how or why it reverted like that. And now I have to try and go from memory and rebuild everything… 🤦🏻‍♂️

    whatever update just happened absolutely torched the app. can’t even open my to-do list without the app crashing. it won’t save what i’ve entered and deleted so when i open it a day later stuff that i’ve already deleted still populate the to-do list. the huge blocky squares that used to be clean small ones are awful on the eyes: revert it!

    Keeps crashing all the time now. I can hardly get it to work anymore, even after a reinstall.

  • Great premise, botched execution

    I never leave reviews, but I am genuinely disappointed in this app. The lack of support on the app’s main website or other place to voice feedback has brought me here. I truly do think it is a great and could be an indispensable tool for neurodivergent people, or really anyone, in assisting executive function. It truly made my life so much easier to categorize and process. It acted as a secondary, working brain that genuinely helped me get through some extremely rough patches. However, frequent crashes, buggy features, and lagging synchronization between devices affecting already finished lists have made me hate using it. The latest feature, adding tabs in the MagicToDo list, was a brilliant addition that I thought would be amazing. I loaded a lot of things from my main to do list onto that new tabs, hoping to better manage my many categories of things to remember. …Then they disappeared. I didn’t even see when it happened. The whole tab wiped clean. And I tried using the built-in back button, refreshing my page, nothing. All of it gone. I wrote down what I could remember on a separate piece of paper, and thankfully, I have some of the tasks backed up in other places, but now most of the ones I only had in Goblin Tools are just gone with no way to get them back. In a panic, I opened the app on my phone, hoping to catch the things I missed since I can always count on it to lag during sync...it was halfway into syncing and didn’t catch anything new that I had written NOR had it kept the old stuff. But the WEBSITE synced immediately and erased ALL of it. I was able to back out on the website and get the previously wrecked list back, but it’s still wrecked. So that’s it for me. I will be uninstalling the app and finding a different task management solution. Use this app at your own caution. I was really excited to support this project since it’s been so beneficial in my life. But that’s what it is. A project. The lack of customer support options makes that clear. I should have paid more attention. You are a test subject benefiting from an ongoing AI project. It’s great for small tasks and light projects, but be very wary and back everything up somewhere else. Do not use it for large, time spanning tasks or projects. Especially if you don’t have great working memory.
