Any thoughts on doing a monthly subscription instead of yearly? Loving the app!

@iamjmw Thanks Joseph! We think that yearly subscription would provide the most value to our Sphere users, which also motivates us to build more awesome features (there are a lot in the pipeline) for them :)

Have been using this for a bit now, and it's been terrific in helping me stay focused and relaxed. I love the guided sessions called "make me fabulous!"

Pros:

visually engaging, unintrusive onboarding, great guided "coaching," customization

Cons:

can be a little buggy

Arman Nobari

I appreciate what Fabulous is trying to do, and I think this direction is actually really interesting. However, bundling "you agree to our TOS by continuing" with the CTA for setting a wake-up time, or using weirdly-worded false choice options ("Yes I want to succeed" for enabling notifications) inherently makes me distrust the intentions and motivations of the app. It feels psychologically manipulative in an opaque way, whereas something like this should - in my opinion - edge towards transparency.

Pros:

Thorough

Cons:

Feels a little snake-oil'y / creepy

Arman, the end goal is helping people change their behavior and we have data that shows that enabling notification will help you achieve your goals, so we're using an idea from behavioral economics called Active Choice, where the positive choice is presented in a good light in order to encourage the person to do that. If your goal was to start exercising, and I use ideas from behavioral economics to help you with that, would that feel like manipulating? I won't call that a manipulation but rather a Nudge toward good behavior. A good example of that is putting water bottle in a visible space and hiding sodas in order to nudge more employers toward the positive choice for their health. Regarding TOS, we're just following the standard set up by other apps. It was the only place we could put it since we don't have a Register screen and it wouldn't be a good idea to put it in a screen by itself.

Was using it on Android, and now on iOS.

Pros:

Animation

Cons:

bug with scheduling notification

This looks really interesting. I am super interested in adult habit changing. Most people get stuck in their ways, or think that their brain is no longer a sponge. But with good design and good incentives, anyone can change their habits. Looks really great.

@willam_woodhead Thanks William! We are definitely strong believer in beautiful design can help in behavioral change, or at least for initial acceptance. And based on our users feedback, we see a lot of huge positive changes from them, which is something we are very interested in and will continue to do more to contribute in this space :)

What an awesome little app! I've been using it on Android for a week now and I'm loving it so far! My morning routine has definitely become much better, the morning reminders help me keep on track and I love the scientific approach and insights from behavioral science. Great job!

Pros:

Motivation + Science

Cons:

Haven't found any yet

I started using it yesterday after seeing it on ph and all I can say is great work! It got me to exercise for the first time after a week of putting it off. Love the design too. What does the Sphere Journey include that is not included in the main app?
Taylor Ling
Maker
@darianbailey Hey Darian, thanks for being Fabulous! Glad to know it helps kickstart the exercise habit :) Sphere is our premium membership that includes complete access to all of the remaining handcrafted journeys (more will be added over time) that help in various directions (Exercise journey sounds like one that would suit you the most!), complete access to all the Make Me Fabulous trainings, Backup/Restore progress feature (WIP but it will be there) and all future features that meant to help our Sphere users to succeed in their Fabulous journey :) Having said that, even without Sphere membership, we wanted to make Fabulous as a useful instrument for your life so every core features like alarm, rituals, focus mode, and certain MMF trainings are all available to use at no cost. Hope it helps!
The interface is really good. )

I have been waiting for the iOS version since longtime !

Pros:

The best app ever !!

Cons:

A habit coach with amazing guidance. Like a great friend that reminds you how good it feels to reach your goals and how to get back up when you fall.

Pros:

Very thorough step by step guidance to retrain your brain and beat procrastination with a scientific approach.

Cons:

None.

Tala El-Achkar
It's felt exactly like that kind of support system for me too. I finally have a sustainable exercise routine in place because it just made committing to it so simple for me.

The app gets annoying with its constant (and noisy) notifications and the company seems more like a carnival - bright lights, noises and shiny things that distract you from the creepy guy taking your money at the door.

Questionable Subscription and Privacy policy practices - they seem more driven to keep you clicking then properly follow GDPR privacy policy standards by bundling multiple actions into one and using unclear language as Arman pointed out. It feels like they are using their behavioural psych background to manipulate.

Would definitely not recommend - their subscription models are shady, their customer support policies questionable and I think that attitude is subtly repeated throughout the application

Pros:

Decent Design - although more recent releases were less so

Cons:

Manipulative, Opaque. Shady. Predatory Subscription Models

Hi!

Just went through some habit apps and yours is so much better than any other I've tried. I like your on-boarding so I don't miss any feature.

UX/UI design looks cool. Actually everything is perfect.

But. As it was mentioned above sometimes it looks a little bit creepy, so it's only my perception, I can't explain rational reasons.

The Sphere part is confusing. I don't like when the product has another product. I want to install an app that I can fully use and don't want to think that I have no access to some of it's additional features.

And the part '' writing commitment contract'' freaks me out, I've never tried it, as it looks creepy.

I like the idea of having strong community and being a part of it. But I think for me (I'm writing this review after 1 hour of using it) it was too energy consuming to go though everything and reading all the text and so on.

Pros:

Good onboarding

Personalized habit plan

Scientific based approach

Price

UX/UI

Cons:

Sphere part is confusing

Ziggy Crane
Congratulations on launching iOS version. I love the design, but I can't understand the functionality. Is the main value of the app is in weekly/daily letters? I would love to be able to create my own habits and routines with my own steps like you can do it on https://tinygain.com/.
Taylor Ling
Maker
@ziggycrane Thanks Ziggy! On the high level Fabulous is a habit forming companion, and the way we approach habit forming is more like a journey rather than just a nagging tool, and letters (like what you mentioned) helps to understand why certain things are recommended to do in certain way, as well as filling up the users with scientifically proven information. You can absolutely create your own habits and your own routines (we called it Ritual), hope it works for you! :)

Great...
