1. 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 be recorded accurately.

   I kind of fell off the SuperBetter wagon because of this, and I want to get back on track, but the idea of getting back on track is sort of a mute point, because That problem of tracking Every Single Day isn't likely to change for me. Or at least not until I'm SuperSuperBetter. An Andriod app would help, probably a lot, but an Android app wouldn't be needed or cared about if I could just log something now for yesterday. It really is the whole reason I doubt if this is will work for me at all.

   I can't be the only one using SuperBetter who has these neuro/cognitive difficulties.

2. Persistent Error: Server code 500

   Server error code 500 comes up very frequently when doing a variety of things, from adding bad guys to activating power ups to reading science cards. Sometimes the action silently completes (without confirmation) despite the error, as with battling bad guys, but sometimes it does not, as when adding a new bad guy. It is really distracting and makes it difficult to get the full benefit from this app.

   I'm using an iPhone 4 on the latest iOS update. I've tried restarting the app but saw no improvement.

   As of August 30th we’ve moved the infrastructure to Amazon AWS and many of these problems are being addressed. We’ll be keeping an eye on this, but know that we’re watching.

   Thanks!

4. "Embark" on quests, then pass or fail

   In a real game, it is possible to embark on a quest, be on it for a period of time, and then fail. I cannot help but think we should be allowed to flag that we've started quest and then be able to input whether we succeeded or failed at it.

   For example. Perhaps I am a workaholic and have a quest to get up and go eat something. I can't really push "I did this" until I've left. I want to interact with superbetter, to establish that I am currently on a mission to get off this chair in the next thirty minutes and go, to make some kind of confirmation or promise to fulfill the quest. to 'take' the quest, And I want to be able to succeed or fail at it in the end. But without being able to make a commitment to /do/ it, it's like I didn't start a quest, I just have a to-do list, and there's no way to tell which ones are in progress or not.

5. Get Funding! (Kickstarter or Inverstors)

   Currently, the game is reaching massive appeal - and I'm sure your subscriber base is expanding exponentially (friends tell friends etc...) however - your servers cannot handle the load and consistently puts out the "We're making SuperBetter SuperBetter right now!" (I'm sure you know this - unless you are completely out of touch with the site!)

   When I first joined - it would happen once every few minutes, however now it feels like it is happening ALL THE TIME (I tried to add a power up 5 times in a row and I kept getting that message)

   I recognize for a 'Concept ARG' that you may not want to charge for the service just yet (and that's a separate suggestion), so that's not what I'm proposing here.

   This game does not exist 'in a vacuum' as far as new sites starting up go. You have all the support the BOTH of Jane McGonigal's Ted Talks bring to it - as a game player AND a game developer she has inspired me personally and professionally and flipped a LIFETIME (35 years) of depression on it's head overnight! You also have the support of Jane McGonigal's book.

   Investors would JUMP on a site like this. The potential is huge - and the growth must be huge or your server wouldn't be having this much trouble. My business coach is certain that you could easily raise $1M in a month (more if Jane takes an active roll in the other networks she is in.)

   You want to know who reffered me to superbetter? My PSYCHOLOGIST! She hadn't played it herself but it came up at a peer work/career type meeting and when she thought of games she though of me. (And my rec. therapist at the same clinic said gamers make up a large number of her clients and they are challenging to deal with)

   If mental health professionals are starting to use your site - it means you have something good going! My business coach also started looking at the site when I told him about it and mentioned I was using it for MORE than just depression (Working x hours a day is a Quest!)

   Please, please don't drop the ball on this site - it has so much potential and, like I said, flipped a depression so ingrained I probably had it even as a young child (learned behaviours from my mother) and I believed Joy and Happiness were non-existant. Between This and Jane's books and Ted Talks I have not had a day where I was depressed since (My 'low days' since mid-January have been right near my 'high days' before mid-January)

   When I see things like support requests getting auto-responded with "We're not answering emails" it greatly concerns me. I'd really hate a project with such amazing potential to truly change lives go into 'abandonware'.

   Jane McGonigal wants to see a game developer win the nobel peace prize - and she's sitting on something that has the potential to 'cure' depression in gamers*, and thus might make this dream a reality!

   (*by making us aware of exactly what they need to bring into their real lives and tips on how to do that! Also gives us a sense of purpose and helps us see video games as NOT being the problem!)

6. menu design

   when i tried to select an initial powerpack, it was obvious there was a longer menu then what I could see (a bit of text was showing at the bottom) but I couldn't scroll down. The first 3 on the list were generic. only the 4th was related to my goal. So i had ONE option. There must be more!

9. Option to change the term "Bad Guys"

   The idea that a part of me is bad doesn't resonate with me. I'd rather conceptualize "bad guys" as "parts" that are not bad - they just need MY support to do a more productive job to support ME. The idea that a part of me is a "bad guy" doesn't feel compassionate or supportive. The more we judge and try to get rid of a feeling or behavioral pattern, the more tenaciously they cling.

10. Add way to annotate power up activations

    If would be great if activating a power-up allowed me to describe the specific thing I did in a few words. it would help show progress meaningfully, and support reflection. Eg. When activating Friends and family > adding specifically "called mom" or lazy exercise > "did desk yoga" -- a rich patchwork of positive actions could emerge.

13. Expandable posts on mobile app activity wall

    I use my iPhone for everything, and it would be really nice to see the full messages posted on my activity wall by myself and my allies on the mobile app. I would really like to be able to see posts I've submitted myself in order to track my ups n downs, and I defiantly don't want to miss out on one ounce of encouragement from my allies. Please is it possible to make the messages expandable on the mobile ap ? Like FB where there is a little hyperlink that says "continue reading" and it opens the full message. I'm always on the go, being I have twin boys that are 9, a daughter who's 4, and our littlest man is just 2. I don't have much time to sit at a PC... =) Thank you for listening, and considering my request. Need all the encouragement I can get...

14. Resilence meter not very fluid

    I always thought that the resilience bar was a way to keep people constantly involved and engaged...that eventually the meter would drop if you were inactive for too long, and maybe starting from your last set of gained resilience points. It almost feels like the bar's not even there. How the power packs are built, I can't evenly gain resilience, and I thought the resilience would be able to get me something or make me feel more encouraged...

    In addition to making the resilience drop...what if the resilience was able to get me perks of some kind? Maybe something as simple as 'gaining enough strength' to try harder power packs, or something more exotic like real-life perks at stores or websites that deal in self-help, health, spirituality and meditation...that sort of stuff, that can be made specific to particular kinds of resilience even.

15. Math error on the Level 3 page

    It's not exactly a grammatical problem, but it's the closest match. The text reads, "Every day you get SuperBetter, you're having a positive impact on six people you know personally. They each pass on your strength to six people they know, and then they each pass it on to six more people they know. That's 256 people in total!"

    That seemed off to me. So I did the math:

    6 + 6^2 + 6^3 = 258

    And that's not counting you! So add one more and you have 259.

    Small math error, yes. But when a program has its roots in science, it's good to get the arithmetic right. Apologies for the nitpick, but I figured somebody might want to fix that.

19. Better social functionality

    Greetings! Just wanted to say I found out about the app through your presentation on Ted talks and I think it is brilliant.

    My suggestion/complaints would be around the social functions. I know you can post to Facebook but I don't like so much of my personal life ending up there. However, with that sort of functionality in mind, could you guys implement the same posting visibility straight through this app? There is an activity feed but it only shows my accomplishments, not those of my ally. A friend of mine with a brain condition got the app after I told her to watch the tedtalks presentation so we could team up together. But I can't see anything other than the most basic information for her.

    Could you add more means of tracking each other's progress, viewing each other's quests and bad guys with a "allow other members to view your profile" option? Something where we can motivate each other and remind each other to keep going and to keep trying to overcome our goals. I think your IDE for the app is incredible, but it makes keeping in touch difficult through the app alone. Yes I can call or text her on my own, but it circumvents the potential utility of the app by causing users to take a different vehicle to help each other out. If you could do something to improve this I think it would make a world of difference for the users and increase our ability to grow on our own and with each other.

    And lastly, thanks again for doing something with gaming to improve our world and way of living. I've been a hardcore gamer since I was 4 in 1985 and this is path of gaming is groundbreaking technology that allows gaming to be a serious solution in a world of problems. Thank you for figuring out how to take one more aspect of daily life and use it to change the world. There aren't nearly enough people out there trying to change the world for the better as opposed to profit.

20. Fix bugs

    I just watched the TED talk given by Jane McGonigal and was ecstatic about the app, until I read the reviews and looked at the price. I really want to buy the app because of the great benefits but am stubbornly reluctant to buy it at any price if all of the reviews mention the glitchy and buggy interphase.
