Cons
Con Occasional bugs and laggyness
The app is still in beta and has the occasional bug to work out.
Con Can cause needless stress
As with most gamified systems it includes punishments for failures. Fear of failure can cause stress and failures can demotivate.
Con Not able to update habits in the past
You have to log when you completed the habit that day and before midnight.
Completed habit on the day is for getting points (motivation), but not good for people just wanting to log and check on the trend.
Con No way to do share tasks/goals with friends
Currently, there is no way to share your achievements or entire challenges with friends or family.
