## Good for

- People motivated by game mechanics such as levels, gear and pets
- Friends who want to keep each other accountable
- Tracking habits, routines and one-off to-dos without paying

## Worth knowing

- The vendor lists a website plus Android and iOS apps; no desktop apps are listed.
- Assigning shared tasks to other people needs a Group Plan at $9 a month plus $3 for each additional member.
- Gems, the paid in-app currency for equipment and avatar customizations, are sold separately in packs from $0.99.
- Subscription benefits are in-game items and perks rather than extra task features.
