Really Works

Having accountability really helped me straighten up my act. I wish it was for longer so look forward to joining the next one. I've also completely stopped making excuses the past few days after the challenge!

Best accountability app
starstarstarstarstar
Helped me get started building a habit of studying and exercising regularly. So much better than all the other habit apps out there!

Amazing app
starstarstarstarstar
Squad has been very helpful to me, knowing that I have to make myself accountable end of the day pushes me to try to do something during the day. I don’t want to report that I didn’t do anything or see the same low performance report every day, so I try do more to give a good report of myself. It is the reminder ringing in my head to go and get it done. So I don’t get left behind. Thank you so much to the team.

I've been using Squad for a few months now and it's been a total game-changer for me. The group accountability has helped me build a habit I've struggled with for over 4 years. Hard to overstate how impactful this has been for my life.

I really starting see progress in my fitness journey. Would love more fitness specific metrics, but group check-ins and progress reports have kept me on track!

Keeps me consistent

Squad has been hands down the best in helping with my inconsistency. It's easy to use and makes you want to make a note of what you signed up to do. I still slip up sometimes but I get right back on track
