Coach.me - Goals & Habits for Android

I have used coach.me for years and find it genuinely helpful. It is the distressing lack of attention to what has to be a glitch on the server end, to where at least a couple of times per year the check in function in the app malfunctions and fails to record checks. Sometimes you can succeed to check in on the web version or if you drill down into the calendar display for each habit…but it’s so annoying. Their FAQ on this issue blames the user more than the tech…then tells you: Delete and reinstall the app. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Not helpful. I found the interface to be very unintuitive. There aren’t enough active members, so the community thing that is meant to set this app apart just isn’t there. So it’s just an app where you check daily tasks and there are better habit forming apps with more intuitive interfaces. Then there’s the coach element. I paid for a while in hopes it might help with productivity and habit forming. It did not. The coach just sends automated canned messages that didn’t even seem to be tailored to me. Just very standard productivity related articles. I asked if I could receive some nudges occasionally and check ins and the coach said I could ask questions and they would answer. They did answer in the evening, but it was no help. I don’t really have questions for the coach. I need motivation from a coach and they didn’t provide that. It really didn’t make any difference having a coach then getting reminders from this app or any other app. There are mindfulness app that will send you daily motivational messages for free which would be the same thing. It was definitely not worth the $100 per month this ends up costing you. I also just stopped my coaching and immediately lost access to all past messages. I’ve paid a few hundred dollars for those messages and I feel I should have access to them. I understand I won’t receive *new* messages and won’t have communication with the coach going forward, but I’ve paid good money for those past messages and can no longer see them. Not to mention, the week of coaching I’ve paid for is not even done and I have not been refunded any money so I should at least have access to the chats until this billing cycle is over. Overall I’m highly disappointed with this app. It did not provide a community or a coach that did any work to help with accountability. The interface is bad and clunky to work with. All it is really is an app to check off daily tasks and if you have a coach you’ll receive occasional “motivational” messages. There are other apps that do this better.

It’s a pretty incredible how much I got for just the $25/week. Even when I wasn’t responding, they my coach kept checking in. I grew a lot through the direction and ideas I got from the coach. Probably the most valuable thing I have ever gotten in terms of bang-for-buck. It as only $25/week and my perspective on life completely changed for the better, which is a priceless investment!

Used this app for years and loved it, but it’s abandonware at this point.

The app keeps giving me a notification that someone gave me props even though I already viewed it
