- Apple devices only: the FAQ says there is no Android version yet, and the App Store listing does not include a Mac app.
- Vendor pages disagree on the lifetime price, and the App Store lists two or three prices for each Pro option, so the price shown in the app may differ.
- By design it has no streaks, habit tracking or recurring-task scheduling.
