Accesability for website
Hello! I just wanted to say, I LOVE the premise of your app. There is nothing else like it! I felt like I couldn't do anything today, but your app totally helped!
A major issue I have with the site, however, is its lack of accessibility. I have a "thing" where bright neon lights will make me physically sick and left to recuperate for hours afterward.
I also have friends I wanted to recommend this app to friends, but the text choice makes it hard for them to read due to dyslexia. My recommendations are this:

iPhone App
I just downloaded the app and it keeps logging me out of it. It also has repeatedly said "Error: There was a problem parsing the user information." It has done that more times than not throughout the day. I think this is a great idea and I love the motivation behind it, but you need to work on the software. I've never had this many problems with any other app on my phone and I've had yours all in one day. Thanks for the help, can't wait for bug fixes on the update.

repeat emails
Please review the frequency and content of emails you send out. I've fallen out of using Super Better but really agree with it and want it to help people. I get a lot of emails from you guys and lately they seem to be focussing on ways for you to get money from us. Especially when I get the same email two days later. Your image is moving from "dedicated to helping people" to "dedicated to making money". I totally understand the premise that you need to make money in order to function, and see no reason that you…

Meshes perfectly with my current life needs
I had prepared myself a big list of goals for the upcoming year only a week before I stumbled on a link to Jane's Ted Talk for SuperBetter. My resignation toward checking off another year's worth of tedious goals was erased once I started playing the game. I have not felt this supported or uplifted in years -- what was once a tiresome, boring exercise in goal setting has become a fun, playful, engaging hour or two a day practice for me.The game has helped me to like achieving again, and is helping me overcome my frustration over…

Ally powerpacks, and feedback on current ally system.
I've just gone back to Hero Only mode because I found the interdependence between allies to be stressful.
Having played for a bit, I can see how having real-world friends and family as allies would be better, but I found that when trying something out for the first time there was a higer emotional cost to getting people I know involved than to reach out to people already playing the game. The down-side to that is that strangers have little vested interest in the success or failure of other strangers, are almost guaranteed to have a different communication style and…

Update for new iPhones
It would be great if you could update this app for the current iPhones and improve the layout. Some buttons are hard to press!
It’s a great app and really helping me on my journey to better self esteem

Feedback/Features
Hi, I heard about your game via a Ted Talk I believe. It sounded like a good way to motivate myself for healthy habits so I've spent a little time trying to customize the site. I like the concept but I'm not feeling the value based on the current charts, graphs that I'm able to find. That to me is the whole point of doing this - visually represnting what I've achieved. And be able to see it daily for immediate gratification and then rolled up into longer timeframes. I know I can do more trackers to get more…

Creating your own
I love creating my own power ups, bad guys and quests but when it comes to choosing which strength they affect the most, a lot of the time I have overlaps.
It'd be great if you worked in the option of being able to assign more than one strength to personal creations.
For example, I have a bad guy, and a power up to tackle him, that affects both my mental and emotional resilience. I'm choosing mental resilience at the moment, but I know that when this baddie gets to me, he rips my heart out, and the power-up to…

User Experience
I wish there was a way to see a list of my recommended quests, meet ups etc. Also an FAQ would be helpful on the home page. The current structure is difficult to research so I can make sure I'm not duplicating quests.

Emails for Allies
There was a post about those of us looking for support from allies already using the game.. I thought maybe if we had a post where we could leave our super better emails to send invites it could be helpful so we could support one another and really become allies!

Picture of a hero
It would be cool if you offered a photo editing template that allowed us to take a “selfie” and add superhero gear to it (Wonder Woman-ish headbands or capes, for example). I’m very visual so this would be helpful to look at when visiting the app throughout the day.

I find this whole thing confusing
Seems like SuppperBetter is going in all directions. I just turned 69 a few days ago and am not as fast mentally as I used to be. Was a programmer/analyst, but had 3 respiratory arrests which i'm sure took a few brains plus I take a lot of pain meds for spinal problem (not paralyzed). Not an excuse mind you. I have accomplished a lot in my life. With a 9th grade education became a programmer/analyst designing some neat software. Damn, I talk too much, I guess because I can type, self learn with a book.
Last but not least.…
1 voteHi Jerry,
First, SuperBetter is in public beta, and it is free to play. So we hope you join us! Our system can be used to help you achieve your goals, so if you want to learn a musical instrument or a foreign language, it can definitely be used for that. I suggest you join the SuperBetter Community (http://forums.superbetter.com) to team up with other players and get ideas on how to set up your game to achieve your goals. :)

Allowing for notes, Futureboost reminders
Hello,
I have been using SuperBetter to help me tackle my anxiety and career challenges, and I want you to know that I love it so far. I'm also a mental health counselor myself and have been recommending it to clients.I do have a couple suggestions...One is that I'd love it if there were an option to include a note every time someone battles a bad guy or uses a power up, so they can keep track of what specific things were done each time. This would serve as a good reminder of things people have done well or…

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…

E-mails
First off i want to say, personally, superbetter is the best thing i have found on the internet. It was a safe place to try and get better without having to go deep into the hardest part of your issues if you aren't able. It felt like a place that was open non judgemental and supported health for each individual person.
But on september 10 i got an email "3 Steps to Lose Weight & Boost Energy | Free Video Series". i've been trying to recover from what my doctor told me if i didnt make HUGE changes would be…

Ease of navigation back to dashboard
Unless there is an easy way to get back to the dashboard* that I haven't found, I suggest that you create one. After I activate a couple of Power-ups, I use my back-arrow to get back to my assignments for the day, but it takes numerous steps to get there. *Is that the name for the place where I can see my assignments for the day?
1 voteClicking the SB icon will take you back to your activity page – and you can also get there by clicking “ACTIVITY” on the left sidebar :) Let me know if it’s not working for you!

ability to record for prior days
I am tired A LOT. And I've had serious organizational issues and memory issues. So a program like this that can track things for me is very appealing. Usually the next day I remember something really important on my SuperBetter, like I DID do something social yesterday, I sent an email! Or I actually called my sister! But then I can't log it. I suppose I could log it on the wrong day, but I want to be able to accurately see if my resilience is going up by making two social contacts in the same day, which now can't…

Visual / noise issues
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."
