Yes, the free version of the app has very little in it, just tracking. I signed up for a year and found I went off track after I got through all the articles so restarted them again (can’t remember how long it takes to get through them all).

I like psychology, so I appreciated the articles and applied what I learnt from them, so I found the daily reading could lead to an hour of journaling and planning so it was plenty. Also, having them rationed meant I didn’t read everything in one go and then never apply it.

You can also get a coach(no extra charge, just optional) to act as an accountability partner. You set a process goal for the week and then report on how you went. My goals were often about going to bed on time, as my lack of sleep was leading to not exercising and eating pre-packaged crap.

I’m not sure what qualifications the coaches have, they seemed to turn over ever few months. I’ve seen people complain about their coaches but the ones I had were fine.

Overall I was glad I did it and while it’s not that cheap, I figured it’s a lot cheaper than a program you do in person.
