Looks great, will be checking this out. One piece of constructive criticism from the preview images is that the title font sizes are a bit large and that the different font faces are a little distracting.

Congrats for releasing your app, and kudos for sharing with us here!

Thanks for mentioning the fonts. I try my best, but I'm not that great at designing. I'll revisit the fonts for my next update
Design is definitely not my strong point either :) Google's design pages[1] have been a big help to me, they call out specific things to do and not to do with Material design. I think they put it together in a way that can help engineers out.

The app looks really useful and props on getting it out there. Another design related suggestion (especially for an app that features color so prominently) is to find a good color palette at a site like http://www.colourlovers.com/ and stick with that. No one should be picking their own colors in 2015 :)
I was aiming for colors to be a way to organize yours goals into categories and hopefully it isn't too invasive
At least keep the colors choice as an option if you do change it in any way! I am using it exactly as you said, to group like goals.

Edit: Plus it adds a little fun to it and makes it feel more personalized imo.
