Some of the controls are a bit disorienting. All observations below are from the demo:

1) When I create a goal, theres no obvious way that the goal is "created". I just press the back button? The send-comment button was where I initially tried to confirm that a goal had been created.

2) When I create a subtask, and then exit the subtask menu to get to the first task, it gives me a blank page.

I really really like the idea, but the demo is a bit too buggy

Thanks, great observations.

1) Right now the back button saves the Ploc. You're completely right that the comment button looks like it might do that. We did not consider that this when we moved the comment button there...

2) This is a bug in the demo, unfortunately. I'm working on it!

I had not tested the demo extensively yet so this obvious bug slipped through unfortunately. It should work in the actual application / app in case you want to try it.

A bit of unsolicited advice: Your demo is a potential user's first impression of the app, which means that you should give it just as much care as you do the full application. If the demo is buggy, people will assume the real app will be just as buggy because there is no reason to assume otherwise, which can ruin any chance of converting them.

The bug when exiting the subtask menu in the demo should be fixed now.
