Tangerine: Self-care & Goals Reviews

by 174321

I really love Tangerine. It’s helped me keep consistent on some habits I’ve been wanting to commit to for what feels like forever. So I decided to take the next step today and add a habit. I have broken one big task into 3 tasks to do every three days. Since I couldn’t edit the two habits I already have (stupid) I had to archive them. Fine. Then I set up the three new habits. That’s when I noticed one of my other habits CHANGED it’s frequency from every three days to every day. I scrolled back and noticed a bunch of missed days suddenly. Starting to doubt myself I thought I must have entered my frequency wrong and NOT NOTICED FOR MONTHS. Yeah not likely with my OCD. Still there was nothing for it but to archive that habit and make a new one. That’s when I noticed one of my three new habits had CHANGED as well. It went to every day too. I guess you can only have two habits at the same frequency. And THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. It makes me sick too as I have found I enjoy writing my journal every day. I bragged about Tangerine to MANY others. Seems I need to clarify to them that Tangerine isn’t so great after all.

I absolutely love Tangerine!!😍 But I am having a problem well not really a problem but anyway. I really want to get the subscription for Tangerine but it is a little pricey. 😳🤑I wish it was a little lower. I also wish it let you do more than FIVE habits before you have to buy!!!😠 I mean if you are going to put Tangerine up make it a little more usable without a subscription. The more you do that the more people will want a subscription!!!😤 So please, I love Tangerine especially during a hard point in my life because of COVID-19. I really want to keep using it but the subscription is pricey. Also if you write back and give a response I am pleased with I will change my rate to 5 stars. I am not asking for a price change but more habit space. Also I thank your small team for creating such a wonderful app.

Tangerine is amazing. I am working hard on self-care, because before therapy, I couldn’t even articulate what kinds of activities made me happy anymore. And even now that I’m working on self-care consciously, it’s still hard for me to remember what my go-to options are. I freaking love that I can create my own menu of self-care activities (“habits”) AS WELL AS document my mood/briefly journal. If I know that I need a moment to take care of myself, I can open Tangerine and it eliminates the hurdle of “uhhh how do I even self-care again!? Lemme just go drink.” It helps me see the connection between self-care and my own happiness—and motivates me to keep taking care of myself. Thank you so much to the developers.

Edit — some caveats and things I wish would get fixed (taking off one star): There is some glitchiness whenever I try to check off tasks. The confetti is cool, but it slows down Tangerine to the point where I have to wait about 5 seconds before my phone unfreezes. Also, the swipe function goes off way too easily. I am constantly having to undo “completed tasks” because my finger tapped the screen slightly weird and now Tangerine thinks I completed a task, when I really just meant to scroll down. These glitches are getting to the point where I’ve stopped using Tangerine as much. I really hope they can be fixed!

i love Tangerine! i even texted like all my friends and told them to get it!! anytime i feel like i am being too hard, or not feeling myself, Tangerine is the place to come for me!! you can write journal entry’s, you can rate your day, you can talk about the stress your feeling and your anger or sadness, really just anything in your life! i have written multiple pages on hard things in my life, and it has brought so much peace to me! my one and only turn off with Tangerine, is that a lot of sections cost money, but not to the pointe where it is to over the top, like there is a perfect amount of stuff you can do without paying, so it doesn’t really matter. even though i would love to not have to pay for those kind of stuff. my favorite thing about Tangerine , is probably rating my day, like you can go in and pick emojis, and talk about your day and why you chose that emoji and everything! anddddd, there is a calandra type thing where you can go in and make goals and reminders, and i definitely feel a lot more motivated to do stuff after using Tangerine! i would 100% recommend it!!!

I love that Tangerine combines habit and mood tracking! Overall, the look of Tangerine is simple and cute which is exactly what I was looking for. I also love the ability to add the number of times you want to do a habit. For example, I have a habit for drinking water 8 times a day. Really great to be able to get that detailed.

However, the mood tracker portion needs more customization options. I’d like to be able to list my own reasons for a good or bad day. Tangerine Daylio is a better mood tracker because you can input your own moods and activities. I really hope this app incorporates this.

Alright so I had been using Aloe Bud for habit tracking which I LOVED but it’s more of a simple log with no stats and you have to pick from a limited list of habits/self care categories. I also wanted to be able to start tracking my moods and tying them to my activities to better understand their impact. So, within minutes of using this app I immediately fell in love with the habit tracking element of it. And Tangerine design is just beautiful, by far the most cozy and comforting habit tracking app I’ve seen. As for the mood and activity tracking, I would like some more options of feelings and activities (maybe a way to write my own). I’m going to extend my free subscription but keep it on the monthly level for a month or two so I can see how it works with my life on a long term basis (I have a history of getting overwhelmed by tracker apps so we’ll see). Overall I am feeling supported, cared for, and encouraged by Tangerine; I feel like my self care and feelings can be “at home” in this app. I do hope Tangerine gets more exposure so they can develop more features!

by Wildflowerjulie

I seriously LOVE Tangerine! It has made all the difference in my ability to create new habits and maintain them. I recommend it to everyone. I would have given five stars except for two glitches (which I have reported and hopefully they are working on them). Sometimes, while working on Tangerine it just shuts off. The other problem is that sometimes on the front page only, it doesn’t register that you have a streak going, it will record it as ‘0’ when in fact if you click on the habit it will show your streak. When these two items are fixed I will give it a five star review!!!

I think that Tangerine has really helped me get my life together! I feel that this has helped me see what I have to do and all of that. I think that it’s so functional to see when you can do it, form new habits every day, and complete them or skip them. The only downside I have come across to is that you can only do 5 habits a day, and if you want more you have to pay. You would be applying for a membership with other stuff too. I personally am not going to be trying this membership with my money. But if you are interested there is that. I think that overall Tangerine has my best and honest review right here. Thank you

I never leave reviews, but I like this app. It looks great, and has some helpful features. The layout and design looks great, and the journaling is easy to use. Although the habits take a little thinking to get (and don’t support breaking bad habits), I like the way it’s structured. My only big complaint is that the Premium features are kind of expansive and make it difficult to get a great experience out of Tangerine . (I’m referencing Insights and more than 5 habits here. I’d love to have them but not enough to shell out monthly, even though they aren’t overpriced if you’re really into Tangerine .) I would definitely recommend this app, though, so if you’re skimming the reviews to look for a good habit or journal app, you should choose this one. All in all, thanks for making this! It’s been great 😊😊

I have had Tangerine for a week now and absolutely love it. There are several things you can do with it like training yourself to create new habits which Tangerine will remind you to complete if you set up the reminders. It's super easy to navigate and use. It helps track your different moods from day to day and keeps stats of what you have accomplished and haven't so you can have a better idea of your progress in a quick and easy to understand report. I STRONGLY encourage anyone who is looking to simply better themselves in anyway to download Tangerine. I can't say how much I love it enough. I most certainly will be utilizing it for a long time!!

I normally hate habit tracking because it makes me feel burdened with pressure and I lose motivation to do the habit, but I’ve been using this app for 5 months now. I don’t always consistently use it every day or week, but I keep coming back to it. I love swiping on the habits and seeing confetti fall. It’s very satisfying. The other habit tracking apps I tried were ugly compared to this one lol.

I have always struggled to implement routines and habits due to depression, and Tangerine really helped me kickstart a change in that area of my life.

by Polarbear🌻

During this time I’ve been trying to stay productive and Tangerine is so great for that! This has helped me to reflect on my day after the day is over and complete my habits. I would definitely recommend turning on your notifications. I usually don’t but Tangerine I did and don’t regret it! They don’t send too many but not too little I also added this as a widget in the side part of my screen it allows me to create a habit from there and check off or skip habits! I love Tangerine so much and even though there is a premium version I would just recommend the regular! This is definitely a permanent on my device. I’m in LOVE! Would sooo recommend this! ✨✨✨✨

I discovered this app when I updated my phone to iOS 14. I absolutely adore Tangerine and I am really excited to integrate this into my daily life. No more do I have to have three separate apps for my habit tracking, journal end daily review. Tangerine does it all and even does it better. I am really excited to see how this works in the long term but Tangerine is worth it. Currently I’m running the free version by once I use it for a little bit and I think that I enjoy it I will definitely consider purchasing a full version.

I really love Tangerine, it has really helped me grow and accomplish goals. I just want to say thank you to the developers for working so hard on this especially since their a team of only two people, that’s just incredible, keep it up guys your going places. Tangerine has helped me read my bible and pray every day and I really love tracking my mood and writing on the journal, the feature where you can say what you are grateful for or release stress or anger is really cool and I love doing those. I’ve gotten really far with Grenache lesions and I’ve been able to stay healthy and exercise every day because of Tangerine. The UI feels amazing cozy and welcoming. I do think you should be able to add more habits with just the free plan alone, but otherwise I can’t complain at all. Great job guys you really nailed it on this one.

Today I downloaded Tangerine and set 4 goals. It motivated me to complete them and it was very simple to set them. I can see Tangerine helping me in the future! I understand that for all features you need premium, and for some people, that could take off a few stars, but I don’t mind it. I support the fact that a new app needs help to continue expanding. I am going to input these goals into my bullet journal, so excited! Thanks this app!

Edit: I found a typo? When I was rating my day and picking emojis, it says “Pick one of more feelings”, is it supposed to say “or”? Sorry, grammar nerd. Still an awesome app.

Thank you for making Tangerine because it has helped save my life!!! Exactly what I was looking for in an app to help remind me of my goals and habits and also to keep on journaling because I was severely depressed and just had no interest in anything but because of this great app, I get reminded as much as I want or as little as I want. Anyone who is trying to make a big change in their life for the better, you absolutely will love Tangerine. It has writing prompts with feelings so that you will write down what is bothering you and at the same time, it’s helping to get you through whatever it is your feeling; Anxiety, Stress, Anxious, Happy, etc. and you record it in your journal!!!! Amazing app!!! Download now, you won’t regret it!!!!

So I’d never had a planner/habits app before, but saw this one in a video and decided to check it out. It’s really helpful, and the visuals are really cute too. I can plan habits for every day, or multiple times a day, or once a week, etc. I can also plan habits in advance so that they’ll start on a certain day and go from there. You can also journal about emotions. You can pay five dollars a month for a premium version that includes pictures in your journal entries and journal prompts. I do wish the password/Touch ID for the journaling was free, it’s part of the premium package, so you’d have to pay for it, but other than that it’s a really helpful app, and my friends use it as well to keep track of plans or journal. Try it out!

So I’ve downloaded this app twice; once in summer ‘21, and again a few days after New Years ‘22.

The entire time I’ve had it, I made improvements each day. Tracking myself makes it easier to improve.

I have tried a handful of other habit apps, but I like this app best; simple, straight to the point, easy to use, lots of features, and a pleasing design.

The only drawbacks I’ve found are there aren’t enough emotions to choose from when recording mood, and you do have to pay to make more than two habits. Luckily, it’s quite affordable and immensely useful.

I appreciate that it can be used as a habit tracker, a schedule of sorts, daily journal, mood tracker, and daily reflections.

It makes it easy to tell yourself what you want to improve on, and helps you have a place to process your day and emotions.

Bonus, marking of habits makes you feel accomplished. Love that sweet sweet dopamine, right?

I stumbled across Tangerine on Reddit and decided to check it out. Before downloading, I actually poked around Tangerine Store to see if there was anything similar or identical that would give me all the Premium features of Tangerine for free. I found habit tracking apps and I found mood and reflection journaling apps, but nothing that beautifully combined those things into one cohesive app. I hope Tangerine blows up because it is fantastic. I’ve literally never paid for an app before (especially for upgrades or extra features) and this is my first. It’s everything I didn’t realize I wanted or even needed. Thank you so much for helping me get rid of Apple’s awful Reminders app as a medium for habit tracking - this is SO much more holistic. Amazing job!

by Mads1626🙂

Tangerine is so amazing and beautiful! The developers really put a lot of time and effort into the making of Tangerine, and it REALLY paid off. It is GORGEOUS!! It has been helping me out with my anxiety because i can write my thoughts down without my parents going through my phone, and i like the mood tracker thingy that you can fill out at the end of the day. I fill it out everyday on the bus home from school! I showed Tangerine to my cousin and she loves it too! She had the exact same thoughts as me. Overall, this app is a stunning, helpful app so i highly highly highly recommend this to anyone who ends up reading this!

by Trooicanachickenwings111

It’s horrible you have to pay to see the results and to just to plain make you happy that’s ridiculous 🤡😪

The tittle is my reason do not waste your time and money on Tangerine

by AndyGaucho

It’s a great app. I’m changing myself using Tangerine .

But it needs to improve to sync data between multiple devices.

by Hudson_monty_max

I’ve been trying to work on my Spanish skills, study for graduate tests, and workout with more regularity. I’ve tried other habit builder apps, but none have worked as well as this one. I love that you can track your mood with this one as well. If they considered a one time payment for premium (instead of yearly) I would get myself premium for sure. App works well without premium though!

by Wasthataparable

Tangerine combines two of my favorite things: habit tracking, and mood tracking. I used to use Streaks, but using this app has truly made a difference in how I approach my daily habits and routines. It’s fun and easy to use, works well with Siri Shortcuts, and looks beautiful.

I’ve been beta testing Tangerine for a while, and the developers are so receptive to feedback—they’ve made a great app! Highly recommend.

by Anonymous53462

I’ve tried a few other habit trackers, and this app is my favorite. Beautiful and seamless UI makes it quick and fun to check in with my habits daily, and I really like that you can cross them off from a long tap on the icon as well. There’s also a great flow that maps your mood to factors from the day and lets you write a note— a great way to reflect daily in an app I already use.

by Paventuri

This is a fantastic app for tracking habits and mood. All combined in one single app. I tried many different apps and I finally was able to find one that helps me achieve my goals. I am confident Tangerine will help me create new habits.

by Jplotne1

I emailed feedback last night, and they replied today that they were already working on the issue! Love it, thanks guys

by Camila03carmona

Tangerine is very good and helps me with the things that I do😊
