Not worth the effort – Habitica: Gamified Taskmanager Review

I love the idea behind the app. But unless you want to buy gems, you can almost immediately run out of rewards in game which makes the rpg aspect basically nonexistent. Quests are a joke. No matter how good you are about completing dailies and tasks, it takes forever to finish one. And there seem to be a ton that, once again, you have to pay gems for. The pets and mounts are an okay idea but they’re only for collection purposes making it, too, pretty pointless. The idea is there, but the app is clunky and flawed. You get punished for completing your tasks regularly instead of rewarded. It’s gotten to where I’d really rather just keep track of my goals/chores/etc in a planner since that feels more rewarding. And to complain about the gems again, it seems like every new News announcement they push out revolves around solely gems. Well, I’ve already bought everything I can buy with coins including the best weapon for my class which is still making this quest take freaking forever. Now the coins are just useless to me. How about expanding the stuff that can be bought without spending RL money?
