2. Custom challenges

   Hi,

   I'm really loving Superbetter so far! However, one thing that I believe could improve the experience (mine at least) is the ability to specify a custom challenge. The current pre-specified challenges don't quite cover my situation, but I can still really use Superbetter to, well, get better.

   For challenges outside the predefined ones, you have the 'Just getting Superbetter' challenge, but that's not very descriptive if you do have a specific demon that you are battling, but it's not listed. The challenge is displayed quite prominently in the interface, so being able to specify one of your own could have a great motivational value.

   One way you could go about this is to enable renaming of the 'Just Getting Superbetter' challenge. This wouldn't impact the rest of the application.

   Well thanks for the attention and keep up the good work!

4. Graphics and visuals - making a GAME

   I signed up immediately after watching the TED Talk by SuperBetter's creator. The idea is great, but I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at the lack of "game" to accompany the program. I would love to be able to create my "world" and design my avatar and WATCH her progress thru quests and battle bad guys, as I go thru them in real life. I think a video/visual element would be a wonderful next step for SuperBetter. Thanks for putting the work in to make this program in the first place - it really is a great idea!

5. Share user generated power ups, quests, and power packs

   I would like to be able to share all of the quests, power ups, bad guys, and future boosts that I create with other superbetter players. I would like to be able to package them together in power packs for others to use. I would like everyone else to be able to do this to support my getting superbetter.

   In implementing this I imagine each item should have user feedback associated with it. Thumbs up/down or stars, user reviews, science behind links, and a tag cloud to help people find the component to add to their superbetter.

6. 'Comments' on activity are really hard to post successfully.

   I want to leave comments on my activity (battling bad guys, quests, etc) so I can scan my activity wall and remind myself WHAT I did that time that was awesome. I click 'comment,' it gives me a text box. I type in the text box and hit enter, and ... nothing happens. I tried using a separate browser to hit the site again and the comment is there -- except when it isn't. There is no "Your comment has posted!" notification, no "click here to post" button, or anything else that would help me figure out that I HAVE commented successfully.

7. Bipolar

   You have Depression as a mental illness to be battled and I've been using that as well as some other people in the Bipolar community. However, I think that there should be a branch specifically designed to help Bipolar patients. Depression is only one thing we battle with. Sometimes playing SuperBetter is harder because I'm not working with things geared towards the other half of my mental illness.

8. A French translation of SuperBetter?

   I would love to see a French version of SuperBetter. In fact, I would volunteer to do it myself (I am a certified translator.). I would like to share SuperBetter with my mom and my sister who don't speak English. My 34-year-old sister is in a wheelchair following a car accident. She could definitely benefit from SuperBetter… and many more like her I am sure.

   Thanks for taking my idea into consideration.

9. I have been on Superbetter for a week and here is my feedback

   Hi there,

   I am enjoying superbetter, but I feel that it has some issues and thought I would share my impression of the site now that I have been on it for a week.

   • Can't send messages to allies or directly communicate with them. This makes becoming acquainted with allies or getting to know them quite difficult

   • The forum is confusing and feels very 2001 and makes it difficult to find allies in a simple way. At least for me it would be easier if it was organized more in the fashion of groups, such as tribe.net (which in itself is a bit dated but way easier to navigate). Also, it would be great if some of the forum features were incorporated into the site, such as messaging, profiles, groups, finding allies, etc (so you do not have to flip back and forth).

   • You need some sort of guidelines/advice/resources for people who may become allies or suspect their allies have issues such as eating disorder or need greater help than superbetter can provide. You really do not want to enable someone to lose weight when you suspect say they have an eating disorder and some guidelines on how to handle this would be useful. Especially, if you only know them via the forum/website and not in real life.

   • It is annoying to have to switch back and forth from the forum (with a different password, etc) to join a group or message someone.

   • I can't seem to delete things when I mistakenly add an extra quest or bad buy.

   • It would be great to be able to easily view a profile of an ally so that you could learn a bit more about them. Especially, if you do not know them in real life. Also, it would be helpful to learn more about their limitations or how you can be a better ally to them. For instance, you do not want to send someone out to have a drink with friends at a bar for a powerup if they have a drinking issue. It would be good to know these things in advance.

   • The Check-In feature is rather confusing and I still do not completely understand what it does. I accidently clicked on it 3 times for one person the other day since I saw nothing happening.

   • The point system seems kind of just made up and a bit irrelevant at times. It would be made more interesting if you could assign your own points to quests or if these points were made a bit more meaningful some how. Flossing your teeth daily should way different than say going for a root canal. The points also seem endless as if you can make as many points as your like which makes the point system seem a bit like currency devaluation. Basically, I have zero emotional connection with the point system what-so-ever and I find myself mostly ignoring it.

   • The fact that you can not click off daily tasks and that they still appear on your feed is really really frustrating. I want them to disappear so that I know that I did them magically reappear the next day.

   • It would be great if you could only see say 5 quests and you would have to complete them (or mark them off as not able to currently complete) and you would have to complete those 5 before anymore tasks/quests appeared.

   • It would be great to make some quests private. My allies do not need to know everything.

   • Also, some power ups should give you more strength than others. Stretching should be less than say running a block and what they are worth should be made visible.

   • It also seems by just looking through the forum that quite a few users have some serious mental health challenges and it might be wise to put some safe guards in place to make sure they are not taken advantage of by other users. At this point, it seems that their obvious vulnerability regrettably makes them targets.

   • It would be great to be able to list your strengths to help others, instead of joining together with the same weakness. For instance, if I am a whiz at clutter control/organizing but want to loose weight that could be valuable trade. Or maybe my day job is a librarian, I could help give some advice in data management to someone whose quest is to organize their computer/digital files and that person could help me with say learning to play the clarinet. If the social networking aspect of the game was more tapped into, superbetter could go beyond helping folks lose a few pounds, or deal with their depression or a physical limitations. It could also help folks improve, grow or gain a skill! Why limit it!

   And the powerpacks are great! Would love to see more of them!

   Awesome feedback – thank you so much for sharing :)

10. A discrete link for donations

    I love the fact there isn't a huge button screaming for donations. It adds to the positive effect of the game that money isn't involved at all. But I wish I could click around the site and find a donate button on an underlying page if I were to look for one. Is that a later quest? Practice altruism: and then a button will show up for give a dollar to the SuperBetter cause?

    I always wondered why we hadn't started to use technology this way. The "Trauma Center" game on the Wii made me wonder why we couldn't use games for educational, practical, relevant fun but the game wasn't realistic. I figured people hadn't done something like this because it would be too wierd or geeky. SuperBetter is one of a kind and you pulled it off perfectly. I hope your efforts can expand and inspire others.

11. Kids self control, positive thinking, be kind to yourself

    My son is keen to get into SuperBetter, he's eight, clever and has some issues which can be eased with diet and suppliments. When he goes off, it's self destructive or anger turned on to his brother.

12. PTSD Community

    Hi,

    When I signed up, I saw the place where you can enter a group code, but I couldn't seem to find anything about it in the FAQs section.

    Anyway, I belong to a support community for PTSD, and I was wondering if there was a fairly easy way for many of us to play together. I and many others suffer from self-imposed social isolation, so these people are (and have been for years) my major allies in becoming Super Better outside of the context of this game. I think my community could really benefit from Super Better and have thought so since I saw your TED Talk when it came out.

    Also, PTSD isn't listed as a category, but several of its symptoms are. PTSD would easily cover anxiety and depression in addition to disordered eating (whether eating too much or too little) and sleeping problems that may or may not be related to exercise, eating, and other routinized habits.

    Help? Suggestions?

    THIS IS AMAZING. I'm a social worker, I came across your tedtalk, I downloaded the app, I recommended it to my social work posse. This is phenomenal for mental health. I'm so impressed and so giddy about it. You're brilliant!!! I'll give constructive feedback as I come across things, but I just had to tell you how wonderful I think this is. Love, Kathryn

19. Sounds on Desktop Site

    I just started with this game and so I am still building my base profile right now. On the Mobile Application there are sounds when you conquer a quest or battle a bad guy. Its really motivating for some reason to have the sounds on there, making it feel like a real video game. I was wondering if it is possible to have sounds on the Desktop Site too? Just thought I'd share my idea. So far so good on the game. I am hoping that it helps me because I have been struggling for a very long time. Thanks

20. Add getting SuperBetter from an abusive relationship

    I am getting out of an abusive relationship and was surprised that it did not come up as a potential SB goal or seem to have an affiliated PowerPack. I decided to use "Will power" as my goal and am customizing my Bad Guys and Power Ups, but thought that having an official SB category would give survivors of abuse a sense of validation, that it is something worth getting SuperBetter from. I'm getting SuperBetter from my parents, others from a lover or spouse, still others from a sibling or close friendship. It takes reminders every day and professional help to break free, so I'm using SuperBetter in between sessions to help me stay strong. I hope you will consider this worthy population of abuse survivors, adding information, an official goal and an affiliated Power Pack.
