Not fabulous, disappointing. Had been using this app since early 2010s. Now confusing with additional apps and additional charges for things that once were in the original app. Hard to navigate. Do NOT recommend. Poor customer service. Signed up for a yearly subscription with one price, only to have it show up as a recurring charge plus an additional charge that was never signed up for. Denied a refund for 3x the cost charge. Was once person-centered and helpful, but now it's just for money.
Reviews for Fabulous Daily Routine Planner
Great app if you can build the habit of using it. When I use it consistently to keep me on routine it has made a big difference. sometimes I dismiss the notifications without thinking and then get out of the habit of using it. But can be used for its resources too. breathing meditations, exercise prompts, daily routines. love it!
I see the vision but the money greed in this app is excessive. They constantly offer you a dozen apps to sign up for in addition. it keeps suggesting routines I dont want despite removing them. when I cancelled my trial it went from offering trial extension, to plan discount, to monthly offer, then when you finally cancel it tries to get you to sign up for a different app. the app is also horrific. plus the layout of the app is terrible.
I fully agree with all the other critical reviews from this year. On top of predatory advertising, subscription practices, and unauthorized charges; there is no way to actually speak to customer service. They deny any request for help or refund. Im pretty sure theyve been posting ai generated reviews and responses to inflate their score. their services are pushy, predatory, and available elsewhere for much cheaper if not free while being much more helpful. wouldn't recommend this app ever.
Got signed up for a sub after trying and uninstalling, but they let me refund it, with zero hassle, which was appreciated, so 3 stars for great customer service. That said, from a design perspective I feel like the app needs to make it clearer what is required and what is premium, and when the app says "you must manage your subscription at our website," it should include an actual link -- unable to find an official The Fabulous website using Google search.
I could have applied for a home loan in the time it took to set this app up. I've been here for half an hour checking boxes and declining special offers. I just wanted to see what the app was like but apparently I will be here until the rapture just setting the damn thing up. I've spent 5 minutes alone just reassuring the app in different ways that I'm committed to drinking water.
Worst interactions I've ever encountered. I didn't sign up for this app & when I requested to be refunded, they refused. I was charged $39.99 on July 24th, but when I emailed them they said they had no record of me being charged. They stated that they would cancel my subscription and I wouldn't be charged $49.99 on July 26th. What?! I emailed them again that I never sign up and they needed to refund me. This time I added a photo of them taking the $39.99 out of my Paypal. Major SCAM App! BEWARE!
So far, not great. it's confusing to use and lots of UI bugs. I just want a way to track habits and routines and this is trying to be so much more that I'm confused as heck. Why do I have a drink water in the morning habit? I don't need that. It's trying to do a bunch of things automatically for me instead of figuring out what it is I've already determined I want to work on. Pushing the subscriptions is annoying too, let me figure out the basics before I add even more features.
I have used so many apps for daily habits, setting up a routine, etc...this app already feels different on day one! I usually get half way through the set up process and never touch the app again but I'm excited for this one every day. it's aesthetically pleasing, it doesn't make me feel like I'm setting up another chore for myself or wasting my time. I will absolutely update this review as I go. it's also really affordable! I'm a single mom college student so $40 for a whole year is amazing!
I think the people who designed this app never met anyone with attention or motivation issues (i.e. the intended audience). Do they not realize that decision paralysis is a big part of the problem? There's a million different things to click around and read through, but almost nothing to actually do that would keep your attention. Also, the kind of new age psycho babble they use is off-putting. Also, it just keeps telling me to drink water which is a habit I've had since high school
