5 More Minutes is Rather Broken; Need To Review Done Quests!
Some way to review quests I've done, in some detail.
Both to use them for other things (like power ups) and in order to complete quests that ask you to comment on done quests, & especially ones that want you to choose one that you have already done and make a power up of it!

Problems with mobile app
I have a problem with the 'Bad guys'. Often when I tap the confirmation button I get a Error 500 response from server. The app counts up but the score does not.

archetypes
I have not played the game, but I read Jane's TED talk on it and find the approach and her story wonderful. I'm a freelance screenwriter and instantly wondered if archetype characters such as described by Joseph Campbell or in Christopher Vogler's book "Mythic Structure" might make the game even more accessible worldwide as these characters and story points have been found to exist all over the world.

Make it work more than 10% of the time.
It's a downer when you just completed a Quest(s) and can't sign in or post to SuperBetter. Kind of defeats the purpose of the program.

Weight loss - superbody
Hi Jane... you have a fan here ever since I watched your TED talk. Bravo. I wish I had known about your game when I had depression.
The problem I'm takling at the moment is weight loss, and I've come across something in my readings that makes me think you can help. I hope you're intrigued. It's not a huge problem (forgive the pun) - I need to lose about 10kg. Problem is I can lose 5kg, and then I get distracted and put it on again.
I have been reading "Influencer" by Patterson and Grenny. It looks at what…

Why $5?
When did you start charging? I tried to get the app for a patient of mine and suddenly instead of free it was 4.99! I know that's not a lot but it is for my clients, and it actually is a lot for an app. As a professional I'd be happy to donate if you can keep the app free.

Alain de Botton / School of Life
Hi SuperBetter community! I've been reading /Religion for Atheists/ by Alain de Botton, and found a section on annotating successes and dictating behaviors with symbolic rewards -- that is, parents tasking their children using 'star charts' -- very relevant to what SuperBetter's project is. I'll cite two sentences but you can track down the text on Amazon's search inside this book pp75-77.
"If the idea of an adult star chart seems odd but not wholly without merit, it is because we are aware, in our more mature moments, of the scale of our imperfections and the depths of our childishness.…

Intro video for potential (offline) allies
I think it would be very useful to have an intro video for allies who are very interested in the success of their friend, family member or client (eg for a healthcare professional) but unlikely to become power users of the system, showing in short form how they might best support. Somewhat like the Ally Skills goals videos but aimed at someone fully outside of SuperBetter's term set.

Minor interface tweak
Hi there,
On the Activity page, there's the daily checklist along the right side. It would be helpful if that was there on other pages as well, like the Power-Up page or the Quests page. It would mean loading fewer pages, saving data and time for mobile users.1 vote -
Awards
Add awards for beating battles, and give the ability to make your own. For example, defeat 5 bosses and you get x(where x could be something of your choosing.) game could give suggestions of award based on difficulty and number of battles.

Just positive feedback
Not really an I idea, just positive feedback.
Im currently a counseling grad student and I work for an organization that works with children and teens with "behavioral disorders". I work with teens, most of whom battle depression anxiety and ptsd. I just saw the TED talk on Super better and checked it out online. Flipping amazing. I want to start a game with most of my clients. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Awesome concept
This isn't really feedback to improve the game, rather, it simple positive feed back. I just watched Jane's Ted Talk and I thought it was outstanding. I felt a little goofy sitting on my couch raising my hands and snapping my fingers but I did feel a lot happier and more motivated afterwards. My brother suffers from TBI after his deployments to the Middle East so I passed this along to him because his troubles seem very similar to what Jane experienced. Hopefully he can experience similar results. Thanks for a great spin on life.

Please make a fancy homepage bookmark icon of the SB logo for ios devices.
I think this SuperBetter.com is the most impressive website I have ever seen run on the iPad. I would really love to add a bookmark to my homepage. When I do it just takes a small screen grab of the page. It's not very appealing. If the site generated a homepage icon of the SB logo, it would 1) look more awesome, and 2) be a good reminder to get SuperBetter every time i turned on my ipad. I like the idea of always having SuperBetter waiting for me whenever I use my ipad. A fancy homepage bookmark icon would…

A guide for users without iphones
It would be helpful if there was a system like Superbetter that can be taken with you throughout the day- for people like me without an iphone.
While the site can be accessed after I get home from my lectures, the reinforcers from quest completion and the like come many many hours after the behavior they're reinforcing. I love the site/game, but this delay will hurt its effectiveness.
Previous to discovering this site, I was working on a token reinforcement system based loosely off of Skinner's work. I'd track my "points" with marks on an index card, and arrange a…

A message for Jane
I have only just begun. I saw you speak on Superhacks and I thought I would give it a try on your webpage. I don't know much or understand a great deal of how the website works yet but may the Forces that be Bless and Keep you for doing this. My story was very similar to yours except the damage to my head was done by my now ex-husband to be. Bless you for providing this opportunity and for free. I have a love for you that someone so good could still be out there. Thank you. Merry meet.
