Status Strong Reviews

Too soon for a full evaluation, but the constant reminders to update status, long after it has been updated, is a bug worth noting. Tried to send feedback through StatusStrong but it locked up and did nothing.

I’m a college athlete who has been using StatusStrong for about a month now. I like it a lot and think it’s a cool way to identify problem areas in my life, but one thing that I’ve noticed is that if I put yellow or red for some of the categories like mental health, motivation, or gratitude, I feel like it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy and I have a “yellow” or “red” outlook/attitude going into the rest of my day. For me, just putting green for these categories, even if I don’t necessarily feel it, makes me feel better and more motivated and happier as I go throughout my day. I see the idea behind measuring these metrics, but I almost feel like a more positive approach to mental health would be to focus on having a good day rather than just monitoring these emotions and basically telling yourself that you’re tired or demotivated or stressed. If I’ve learned anything from StatusStrong, it’s the power of faking it until you make it, but this isn’t necessarily the way StatusStrong is intended to be used. Overall, I like StatusStrong and I really appreciate the quotes everyday but I think it could be tweaked for the better!

For us colorblind people, it is EXTREMELY difficult to tell the difference between green and yellow on StatusStrong. If you could make the green a darker green that would be a HUGE help. Thank you!
