What this app is. What it isn’t. What you could build.

One-liner

A mobile app version of the goblin.tools website, offering neurodivergent-friendly tools for breaking down tasks, refining language, estimating time, and organizing brain dumps—now plagued by frequent crashes.

Strengths

Highly specialized tools designed specifically for neurodivergent users' pain points (e.g., task breakdown, tone interpretation)
Strong conceptual foundation with a clear mission: reducing cognitive load through simple, focused utilities
Positive sentiment in older reviews praising the app's usefulness and innovative approach
Free web version builds trust and lowers entry barrier before purchase
Unique tool set like 'The Chef' (recipe generator from pantry items) sets it apart from generic productivity apps

Weaknesses

Consistently reported crashes on launch or during basic use (e.g., 'can’t even open my to-do list without the app crashing')
Data persistence failures: lost input after crashes, even after reinstallation ('stuff that I’ve already deleted… appears again')
Poor post-update stability: recent updates have broken core functionality across multiple devices
No visible support channels: users report inability to find feedback paths despite expressing disappointment
App fails under certain network conditions (e.g., 'doesn’t work with phone data', NSURLErrorDomain error -999)

Opportunities

Build a lightweight, crash-resistant fork focusing only on one high-value tool (e.g., Magic Todo List) with reliable local storage
Create a companion app that syncs with the free web version via API, avoiding native crashes while preserving features
Offer a subscription model with guaranteed bug fixes and transparent update logs to rebuild trust
Target users frustrated by the current app’s instability but still drawn to its unique concept
Leverage the existing user base by providing a migration path from the buggy app to a stable alternative
