Very cool and fun. Great design. Nice premium price ($0.99)! Good options when creating notes, like the ability to ignore skipped recurring tasks. The ability to change the font size of task titles would be nice (or an auto-fit feature). It doesn't look good when words wrap inside a water ball. The option to adjust widget transparency would also be great, so it won't completely block out the wallpaper. The biggest issue is that it makes my phone really hot!

I've found this app very motivating. Because it's easy to set up recurring items, it's also a great way to work on creating a new, good habit. I wish there was a way with the statistics to see your success rate with a particular repeating task (ex. Checked off "floss" 80% of the time). I also wish that when I did the daily review, I didn't have to reschedule daily repeating tasks to complete the review. I like this app a lot and have already recommended it to others!

Very cute! I like it because the gamification is in wanting to build something and learn more about the inhabitants so it's less high stakes and doesn't make you feel guilty for missing something. The bubble pop is also pretty satisfying. I also like the variety of scheduling options. Their support is also really nice and responsive when reporting a bug! If I had to suggest any improvement it would be larger islands/more things to unlock. Maybe it could be part of an archipelago.

This is a great concept, buttheexecutionispoor. The app is buggy and customer service is very slow to respond. I paid $15 for the app, and out of nowhere with no warning it blocked me from using it unless can a order number. It wasn't emailed to me, and they are saying 1 - 3 business days for them to retrieve it. So I'm without access to what I paid for and have come to rely on. Will never again purchase from this company.

I have installed this app for a while, and as someone who struggles with forgetfulness and depression, it helps to have such a calm and sweet app to keep track of all the daily tasks with the itty bitty childish motivation inside to just pop the bubbles!! I took it for a test run a few months ago and at the end of the week decided to buy the app. Overall, it has helped a lot with productivity, even on my relaxing break days. :)

Edited review: I believe my gripe about the loading MIGHT have been my need for immediate satisfaction. It loads slowly but it seems to be a style choice. The app is great, I like it. I think what's locked behind premium is absurd, and the price is way too high to use this app to it's fullest potential, but it's actually a good checklist app, so I recommend trying it out. I will buy premium Eventually. After a long time. It's not that great.

WOW!!! This app has evolved a TON. I am in love with the stats page!! I'm also super impressed with desktop mode. I can hardly wait to see stats on Desktop too. I get so much done with this app. It really does help keep you focused on ONE task while encourage and motivate you to get others things done too. Unlike other To-do apps out there, WaterDo gamify this for you so you look forward to getting things done. 💯 Team: Let's work on location reminders and attachment to notes now. 😇

I love this app. I have a hard time managing tasks, and WaterDo makes it easier and rewarding. I love the sense of adventure and upgrading the islands. I appreciate that I can make my own tags (though I kind of wish I had categories also) and the color scheme is so soothing. It's just a really beautiful and sweet app, like a nice friend who gently nudges me to do things I've listed. Popping the bubbles is VERY satisfying.

It's very interactive and it encourages you to get things done. Unlike any other app were looking at your list is very overwhelming. The popping the bubble/water decrease/eliminates that feeling of stress and makes things so much easier. Additionally, the membership plan is very manageable and not ridiculous. I love it!! Lovely job creators<3

It's okay, i would like to see the ability to add tasks that are done multiple times a day. Add a task that remains in queue even when you complete it; i brushed my teeth today, but I'm going to again another 2 times. I could see tasks remaining in queue indefinitely or even dissappearing once you reach a threshold, ex. brush teeth 3 times.

I would recommend it a little bit: the bubbles are fun to pop, and I love how you can set recurring tasks. However, the app seems a little buggy: sometimes the bubbles do not show - only the words show. You can still pop the area, though. For me, the app has too many extra features that I do not need - the islands, people, and gems, etc. - so it is not worth $15. I would gladly pay a much reduced price for a stripped down app without the game part.

What you can do with the gems is unclear, and I was charged for the free trial. Also, it would be nice to have the option to have a task repeat two days in a row. I have something I need to do both days in a weekend, but I have to add it in twice. In addition, the original popping animation from the intro was very satisfying, and I wish it remained, or was toggleable. Also, you should be able to mark a complete task as incomplete, or if you can, make it easier to do so.

Really helpful, gives motivation to stick with it. I wish it had more locations but I do like it more than other to-do list apps because it keeps you returning by giving you another reason to check it. I also would like the bubbles to be able to show emojis which I use to represent things such as laundry. Really has helped. By the end of the say, you can check with it to see what all you've forgotten and set reminders.

I really love this app. Initially, I only wanted the app to be able to pop the to-do bubbles when I completed a task. But, then I found out about its scheduling functionality. This is my favorite. I also love the nightly reviews. It helps me to stay on track and know what awaits me the next day. I didn't even realize there was a game functionality to the app until just recently. And, this is all with the free version.

The interface is really cute and so is the concept. I found it through the app Forest which I absolutely love and give 10/10. This app is buggier, and I find some of the things put behind the pay wall to be annoying. You can sort tasks into colors so you can see on a graph what you have been completing but they want you to pay if you want more than 3 colors. Besides the bugs (trouble loading, crashing, unable to pop task bubbles, etc) I like it, but I hope they work out the kinks

I really love this app! It's so much more fun than a normal to-do list. Popping the task bubbles is so satisfying!! I also love the little characters on the island. I will say that I wish you could spin the islands 360 (even if it's pointless-it's fun!) Also, I keep forgetting that you need to double tap to complete a water ball, and it seems others have that same issue, so it would be nice to get a reminder. Maybe the seal could say "double tap to pop a water ball!" when you first open the app

Originally I was having issues w the app and customer service fixed it immediately - amazing! Now I've used this app for a while, and despite all the updates, it still runs a little too slow to gameify my to-do's. Loading treasure boxes and islands takes a while! I also don't know what I'm supposed to do as I accumulate keys but can only open a box every 10 hours, but maybe I'm not understanding the point. Otherwise, cute graphics, nice music, and wonderful idea.

I've had an overall positive experience with WaterDo! I like the option to color-code tasks and the sounds you've chosen for accomplishing a task or completing one are *chef's kiss* for my neurodivergent brain! However, I'm frequently glazing over the app when I should be using it more often. Is there a widget I could use for it, please? If that were possible, I'd be willing to change my rating to 5 ⭐.

I feel like productivity apps are either too much for me or too little. This app feels just right, although I wish there were more flexible options I like that is simple and cute. Dev reached out, you double tap to pop ballooons.. edit: thanks for helping me enjoy this app more. Id like to add that I also bought the app and it is even better with everything open. I love developing my island and planning for the week. 4 stars to 5 once I bought it and I was taught to pop balloons

Great gamified checklist. I have three requests for features: 1) A list (not bubble) view that is limited to one day instead of all upcoming tasks. This helps me focus on immediately due items and not feel overwhelmed scrolling through the endless list. 2) The ability to reorder tasks in the list view and group by tag. It's currently unreliable (sometimes I can drag and rearrange the order but sometimes I can't). 3) Dark mode.
