Yes, but it will have to be done in a new app. Goal Meter was my first app and although I followed Apple’s instructions for choosing a bundle ID, for some reason the app can no longer be updated. I’m glad you like it so far.

Good app, but unfortunately can only create max 8 goals only, can this be fixed? Thank you!

I’m glad you enjoy Goal Meter. I really appreciate hearing from people who find it useful. Thanks for your very good suggestions.

I continue to improve the app, and I have dozens of ideas on the drawing board. In the next update, you’ll be able to tap on the “Now” field in the upper left hand corner and change it to “Remaining.” Stay tuned; there’s a lot more to come…

Thank you sooo much for making this app. I was searching hi and low for an app with that fundraiser thermometer visualization, but couldn’t find any and then Google led me here. Love the app, but since you mentioned no hesitation in offering ways to improve, I’ll throw in my two cents:

• addinh the swipe gesture to navigate between goals would be more iPhone friendly than tapping

• I love the simplicity of the app, but having a ‘home’ type screen that has a visual of all goals and there current progress would be nice (sort of like a graph of your life)….probably would fit best horizontally (and then being able to tap on a goal to view it individually from there would also be nice)

• Would love to be able to add $ signs and things to the goal amounts, like for saving money, but it’s no biggie.

GREAT APP!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

That is awesome! Good luck with your cooking. I wish I had more skills in that area. I read everything Julia Child has to say about eggs (my favorite food and so easy to prepare for a lazy guy like me), and left it at that for awhile. If you work in a restaurant, you’ll probably have to use gross modern oils and packaged foods. I hope you tell us all about it!

Also, don’t hesitate to comment on ways to improve Goal Meter. You might just see your idea in a future version. What a bargain at only 99 cents!

I’m definitely incorporating this into my life. I’m trying to improve my cooking skills in order to help my prospects in getting hired at a restaurant, and this will help keep motivation with my studying.

See, comments like yours make me glad I wrote it. I thought the idea was too obvious, but 1. no one else is doing it and 2. it really does work.

Congratulations! Five days isn’t really that bad for a very useful app. I program and have wanted to get into programming for mobile devices; however, college/work puts ideas on the back-burner.

Funny I thought the same thing about all the task management applications. They really didn’t have any way to track your progress.

I currently do something similar with going to the gym and practicing guitar. I’ve started keeping track on my calendar with a slash if I practiced/worked-out that day. Different colors and direction dependent on which one I do.

It’s motivational just to try and fill up the calendar. If I ever decide to go back to using an iPhone I will definitely pickup this app.
