Goals and features

• How many goals can I have?
  As many as you like. Goal Master uses a powerful database engine that maintains its performance even with a very large amount of data.


• I forgot my privacy PIN. Can you unlock my data?
  Unfortunately, we are unable to unlock your data if you're forgotten your PIN. If all else fails, you can uninstall and reinstall Goal Master. You'll lose your old data, but you'll be able to use Goal Master again.

Scores and chains

• What are scores?
  Scores are a way of measuring how well you're doing at meeting your goals. Your score for each day is based on how many of your goals you've met.


• How do simple scores work?
  Simple scores are calculated by adding the point values of all the goals you met on a given day. Goals that occur more than once (i.e., goals with a counter instead of a checkbox) are scored each time they occur. Negative goals score negative points.


• How do percentage scores work?
  Percentage scores are based on how many positive goals you met and how many negative goals you avoided. The point values of your goals are taken into account, but each goal only counts once, no matter how many times you met it. Your daily score is always between 0% and 100%.


• How are monthly scores calculated?
  Monthly simple scores are calculated by adding all the daily scores in that month. Percentage scores are calculated as the average daily score in that month. Note that days that haven't happened yet aren't included in the calculation.

Backup

• How do I back up my data?
  If you have a free Google Docs account, you can back up your Goal Master data to it. Just look for the Backup option on the settings Tab.

• Why can't I read my backup spreadsheet?
  To maximize speed and efficiency, Goal Master backs up data in a compact format that isn't really human-readable.
