It looks like something really cute ! I just downloaded it and tested some things, it's really cute, the choice of colors is perfect for the comfort of the eye and it honestly has some great potential ! My main feedback will be on things that could be upgraded on the goal setting part :

  • One of the first thing the star told me after the intro is the importance of breaking a challenge into smaller doable tasks. And so I was surprised to find out that we can only select one task and that's it. If the goal of the app is to show the importance of doing things one step at a time, then it's totally understandable and I support this way ! But I think that something that could outline this even better would be to be able to write down a big task, for example "cleaning my desk", and then have the star give us slots to encourage us to breakdown the task into small steps. The star could then keep cheering us up as we cross off each step one by one, and a big congrats once the big task is done !
  • And if the point wasn't to encourage us to focus on one thing at a time, then I will add that it would be great for the app to save our goals we set. I did the test by writting a task, closing and then opening again and it was gone. Again, I have no idea how big of a to-do list this app is supposed to be, if it's only for small tasks to do on the moment or if the possibility of planning big tasks on multiple days/few days in advance is also a possibility. Like for example (and following a bit my previous idea), crafting a birthday present. Breaking down that in the afternoon we're going to buy X and Y materials, tomorrow we craft the gift, and the day after we pack it up ! If this kind of planning is a future possibility for you, then maybe a "difficulty meter" could also work. And by that I mean that if a task take for example 4 days, the star's words of encouragments could be different than a one step task. The difficulty meter could be automatically set depending of the amount time the task takes, or the user can directly select it for it be more accessible, since a 2 steps task can be more difficult than others, or one specific task like "doing the dishes" can be more difficult depending of the person's health.

Those are just my ideas after few minutes of experimenting with it, and since I have no idea what are your ideas for it, take whatever you find interesting in my words ! I find this app really wholesome, I'll definitely go check your other creations !
