Rare Candy - Epic Habit and Goal Mastery - Gamify your life to 10000 hours 4+

Using this app helps me feel like my progress and practice really means something and isn't lost to time, even if my practice schedule is irregular. It helps to remind me that I've already done so much when I get discouraged. My favorite use for this app, however, is as an embroidery timer. I do cross stitch, and one way to measure the complexity of a project is the number of hours you spend on it. So what I've done is note the amount of time I have in the skill when I start the project and subtract that from my time at the end, kind of like an odometer on a road trip. My request would be that the help section on the app say something about candies/how they are earned. The only time I saw it mentioned was in a one time welcome screen after updating the app and I'd like to be able to review that information.

I think the idea is brilliant, but the interface is kind of boring. I think there should be more customization. People should be able to make their avatar look like themselves. Skin tone, gender, hair color, etc. It’d be great if there were different outfits to buy, or equipment related to the job you choose. Maybe you can write down a challenge you want to tackle, and it can be a boss you fight. It’s be cool to buy weapons as well. As it is right now the app is little bare.

The interface is great and the way it works seems to be pretty fun / cool, if a bit arbitrary/unexplained. However the whole leveling up mechanic and loot doesn't really matter because there is only about 10 things to buy. This would be a 5 star app if there was more content, right now it just seems like a well polished demo. Still, it was just a buck, but its sad to see something cool not reach its potential.
