physical limitations criteria needed in profile
Can we have options listed in the profile to limit the challenges to those that are within our ablilities, or else use more inclusive language that is suitable for ALL abilities. This is supposed to be a platform created by people recovering from injuries. Yes some may use if for wieghtloss, or other uses, but some may use if for very debilitating or permanent injuries, or birth circumstances, and may find things like walking up stairs, walking blocks instead of driving (when it it is a struggle to walk 5 steps), to be very discouraging. Inclusive language makes it less…

Quests that are not completed on the reminder date should show up the next day.
It would be nice if we had the option to make uncompleted quests show up the next day, and the next if we don't complete them on the day of the reminder.

make a power pack for alcoholism
I'm not sure how exactly it would be put together, but alcoholism is something I also battle and I am sure I am not the only one. Some days can be really hard, especially if you don't really feel at home at AA meetings (I sure don't). I think many people would highly benefit from an alcoholism powerpack.

User Interface performance is slow at times
The user interface doesn't provide feedback fast enough in a lot of cases. I find myself clicking twice on a button because I think I must not have clicked it the first time. Responsiveness is also an issue when there are a number of steps to perform an action -- if I'm reviewing my activities and think "Ah, I did that power-up, I should enter it" -- I've got several steps -- enter the power-ups mode, maybe scroll to the right one, view it, click on I did it (maybe twice!) then OK the dialog about points gained. That many…

Can we have a button that allows future boosts to repeat please?
There are two kinds of repetition that have turned up.
One is a Future Boost that happens on a regular schedual, so being able to set it up as weekly, fortnightly etc. would be useful.
The other is a Boost that has passed and been ticked off, e.g. a movie night with friends where someone says "we should totally do this again!" In this case a Repeat and Edit button on past Boosts would be useful.

Increasing levels gains new abilities
It would be great if as a player increased in levels he opened up new power packs or gained some kind of ability that new users don't have. This is a common thing in most RPGs that I think would be really cool in the game as well.

App for Allies!
I would love it if the app were also designed for allies so that I could give achievements, suggest questions, etc through my phone! If that feature is there, then tell me how to access it please? Thanks!

Keep track of items and skills you "unlocked" in life
Unlike Achievements, this would be to remind yourself of abilities that can get you through (my charm, my writing skills ) and "items" that help, like favors you can call in or restaurants that serve the kind of food you're trying to eat more of. A lot of games have a "backpack "and a list of special powers you can activate.

Super Better for Windows Phone
After watching the Super Better spot on TedTalks, I'm convinced of its beauty! ...and as a successful, experienced Microsoft developer I'd LOVE to create a Windows 8 and Windows Phone version of Super Better! Let's talk!

App no good for being an ally
I bought this app to help with being an awesome ally when out an about. Seemingly I can't suggest quests or the others. This app is disdidstinctky suboptimal for allies.

Ally dashboard: the shadow task never updates
Whether I like items in my ally's activity wall or not, whether I comment or not, the ally dashboard always shows the shadow task as incomplete for the day.
32 votesThis is a known issue – we’re actually working on redesigning how allies work, and when those changes are released, this won’t be a problem :) Stay tuned!

Removing Heroes
I can't seem to find the way to remove certain Heroes from my Ally section.
I have two Hero's there that are inactive accounts, and I'd like to remove them because they are a distraction and also seem to be negatively influencing my "rock" status.
Thanks for any feedback!

Baddies shouldn't just be 'avoided'
When we battle a bad guy, it only asks if you have 'successfully avoided' this today. I understand that question with the traps, but shouldn't triggers/symptoms have a different question? (e.g. have you successfully overcome this today?)
I didn't avoid coming into battle with my trigger today but I did manage to prevent it from become an all out war for my day, so I would prefer to not be saying i successfully avoided it.
32 votesYes, that’s how it’s supposed to work. It’s currently a bug that’s in our queue to fix! :)

Overall Upgrade
I love this idea. I've had this idea. But you guys are the ones made it and I love you for that. From a gamer's perspective, it needs a bit of a better overall navigation. For starters certain things like "To do" should ALWAYS be on the right side on all pages as someone navigates their "Status Screen"...
The activity part should list the icons of what's been done, not the profile picture. As well as a "quick activity" where someone can type in something they did and award points right on the front page. The power ups should be…32 votes -
Deepening the Secret Identity
I'd like to start this message by saying that I adore the concept of this website and I've been surprised just how quickly (and almost instinctually) I have been able to embrace the act of gaming in real life, though I've had a "secret identity" of sorts for a while, now. One of the things that really sparked my imagination a few years back was beginning to envision myself as a separate person to which I could empathize with - she became a heroine to the exaggerated form of my own story. That heroine changed just as I did, as…

More interaction with Allies on mobile app
It would be great if it were possible to give suggestions or generally interact more with Allies using the mobile app. Having Allies and helping each other is a great social motivator, but most of these features are only available on the website. Those of us who only or primarily use SuperBetter on our phones could really benefit from more options for working with Allies through the app.

Science cards
Hey! Love the ted talk, just started playing superbetter! Thanks!
Question: how can I access the science cards in the quests? The name is hyper linked (example Stress Buster, Tame your stress science card) but it won't let me click on Tame your stress! Thanks in advance for the help :)

Portrayal of Women
I am interested in using SuperBetter as a tool for staying physically and mentally fit while having to finish a long and arduous project. The idea for this site and the way it is arranged is fantastic. However, when I have emailed a few friends to tell them about the site, all six were first struck by McGonigal's stage make up and unnecessary cleavage. For a self-help (or self-acceptance) site, McGonigal's styling seems to have missed the mark, appearing either threatening or comically bad.
Here's an email excerpt from a male friend of mine:
OK. I'm glad it's not just…
