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!

Sara S

Best accountability app

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

Elayne E

Amazing app

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.

Gamechanger

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.

Great accountability tool

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!

Bad L

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
