Purposeful by Kumanu 4+

The app developer was my professor at UM School of Public Health in 1996 and he was one of the most engaging and wise professors I’ve ever had. He taught Health Behavior and Health Education. He is truly dedicated to the research that drives behavior. My friend also worked for him 15+ years ago on software that employers could use to help employees quit smoking, lose weight, etc. I don’t know if that is still in existence but I shows his dedication to public health. I learned that to make a healthy community, you have to meet people where they are- which means making apps because they are effective ways to reach a lot of people.

Thanks for your hard work in creating this app. It’s helped me improve my mental health and hopefully get back to work after 10 years on disability.

I found this app helpful when I was trying to figure out what career I wanted to do next. I liked how it gave choices on what you wanted to focus on.

I think it would be awesome if there could be two things someone can focus on for the day (for example-loving and productive), and reminders to finish out the day tasks. A wish list item for the app; if you could customize it more to focus on either your career or a personal development task.

Other than that, the app is a very useful tool.

This app is definitely the best, most productive app I am currently using for structuring my day/mindset. I found it through a free course I took on Coursera called “Life on Purpose” and it was created by the professor Vic Strecher. After an unexpected injury and not being able to work for over 9 mos it has really kept me from slipping into deep depression. I love the daily prompts and reminders- the suggestions feel relatable, and it’s super easy to use/navigate. I’m really glad it gave me the option to share it with my spouse too.
