Bounty Tasker: To-do List RPG

I really like the idea of these habit apps that give you a REASON to play. This app acts more like a to-do list tracker than a habit tracker. I think adding a bad-habit tracker would be great! Trying to quit smoking or quit drinking Starbucks for example. As you smoke a cigarette, you mark it in the app and it does some damage to your character. I understand that there’s some issues with people lying, but I feel as though they’re really only harming themselves. Also character creation would be great! Different skin tones and hair color would be really effective in making me feel like my character is actually a representation of me. It would also give me a subconscious reason to do better for myself. Guessing that with the armor and the moving sprites it would be hard, but maybe 5 skin tones and 6 hair colors or something? Something basic like that. Regardless, I think this app is on the right track and I’m willing to give it a month long try.

Giving four stars as game is still seeing improvement and production. Will update to reflect progress. This is a great productivity tool with dailies that repeat and a very nice to do list. Character upgrades and progresses as you level up! Word to developer though, what would be great to see is a class system,(warriors thieves wizards) along with complementary spells or skills a character could use to help defeat baddies or buff yourself against damage. I also really like the idea of there being some things to really strive for, such as mini bosses as bad guys that take a lot of work to fight, and maybe some end game content(big bosses and epic weapons you have to quest for) or something of the sort. This certainly isn’t my game but I see so much potential and I will be following this app very closely. Thank you developers keep the updates coming and thank you for reading my review. Shawn

There are quite a few gamified to-do lists on the App Store, and I’ve tried many of them—so far, Bounty Tasker is my favorite. Pros: —straightforward without sacrificing both critical to-do list features (repeating task schedules, reminder notifications, etc.) —Fun game elements (equipment, monsters, exp., etc.) —Monsters in particular are integrated in a really cool way and encourage “bursts” of activity to clear out old tasks—very clever! Cons: —Keep in mind this app is still in development, so there are a few notable but manageable bugs (in particular, the game seems to seems to forget whether or not you have an Elite account, but it’s quickly fixed by restoring purchase.) —Long-term, there are some gameplay elements I’d really like to see (no character classes at the moment, gear doesn’t change your character’s appearance) but they don’t impact the core functionality at all. —Additionally, bear in mind there’s no community functionality at the moment, so you can’t work with friends on growth. Personally, I actually like this, but YMMV. All told, this is now my primary to-do list app! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, incentivized version of a task program. :)

The app is pretty much exactly what I’m looking for: something to motivate me to complete my daily tasks. Similar apps are either too complicated or don’t update with new content, so I’m happy to see how excited the de eclipses are about this. The developers answer questions quickly, and they respond to feedback. The major thing I wanted was to have weekly/monthly/yearly tasks, but I can be patient while they continue to improve the app. =]

ask user to change the rating

This is such a great idea and I am so close to being able to use it. My brain works best breaking things down as main task then sub tasks which this allows BUT you don’t get any credit for completing a subtask. So it takes far too long for me to earn any rewards which kinda defeats the purpose of making a to do list into a game. If that was fixed I would love it. I would almost actually prefer the opposite, no credit for the main but credit for the subs.
