Before we get into the review I’d like to point out that this is the free or Lite version of Goal Manager, so although you can get a feel for the functionality you will only be able to set up a single goal; upgrade to the full version and you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of goals.
Free Trial Version
What we have here is a great little app in the Productivity category of the App Store that will help you to stay a little more motivated by setting up goals for yourself and holding yourself accountable to them.

Within this app you’ll be able to sort your saved goals into categories for more concise recordkeeping, as well as being able to prioritize your goals to ensure everything is taken care of in a timely manner, or just that it actually gets done in the first place.
Manage Your Projects
Another thing I really like about Goal Manager Lite is that it allows you to set up sub-goals within your goals to break long-term projects down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This makes for far more realistic short-term planning.
