I just did The Compassion Express: Even Rainbows Need Rain. It told me to find a song, image, or artwork and post the link to my wall. I did that and thought it would be cool to scroll back through in future and revisit the image as a mood booster. Unfortunately though the link isn't clickable -- worse yet, I can't even long press to copy the URL so I can paste it in my browser. So that was pretty disappointing! :/
All in all though, terrific app. I'm enjoying the positivity and have even gotten my kids on board with playing it. :)

My friend, who suffers from migraine disorder (constant migraines, 24/7) has been trying to use this app - but the app seems to be a bit different than the computer version. She has no computer at the moment and has been trying to use the app. We became allies for each other (she's my only one at the moment!)

- "Well so far...I hate the app. No tutorial and no help section."
- "the loud noise at the beginning really jolted me."
- "Plus light blue writing on white background...hello asshats people who have visual issues may use ur app might wanna make it easier to read. The font is so fucking small!!!"
- "Also I don't understand any of the quests I now have. I also find it too hard to read due to font size colour and the way it's written
It also seems to be using short form for things and I don't know what they are. :("
- "I think I'm too stupid for their app."
- "Maybe they should tailor the app a bit to a person's problems. Or make a simplified version for those with learning issues. "

I find this a bit disheartening because she was really jazzed at the beginning because this seemed like just the thing that would get her out of that "wanting to die" phase. I'd sent her the Ted Talk I'd just watched, you see.

As it stands now the app is to white and bubbly and quite frankly girly. I probably wouldnt want to share this app with a lot of my friends because the way that it looks.

I have two ideas.
1. have the potion to change the cholor scheme of the app and look a little less rainbow and sunshine. This app looks like something for brownies. (dont get me wrong I like me some my little pony from time to time but I don't share that with my friends either).

2. With the color change you could probably get more men in my age group (18-30sih) by talking about gamification. Gamers understand that Call of Duty and World of Warcraft and the like are all super addictive because you always have a goal that is being reached. You just upgraded a gun, just got paid for a quest, just got a new lv etc. That is exactly what this app does in the real world but the way it looks and feels now it looks like its for women almost specifically.

That it just my opinion on it. I honestly think this app is a idea. Life is hard because we don't always see how the little steps we take lead us to getting to the "epic win". It is easy to see in videogames because there is always an experience bar in our face and packages opening etc... Reading books like the power of habit show how doing just a little bit every single day that compound into epic wins over time.

I want to incorporate this gamification tracker in my life more and I also look forward to the 2.0

I thought and leaving Super Better when I downloaded the app (that's how I found out about SB to begin with) because it always made server errors. Eventually the server started working and I think now that this is worth it and fun. But I had to go on the website on my mobile to truly enjoy it because the server seems to always have problems on the mobile app. I have no such problems with anything else and even the site works perfectly. The app is attractive for people on the go but it simply isn't working well enough to be used right now.
