Hi!

On my iOS app, I have a banner number (1) above the app, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it signifies. Thanks!

It should be the number of goals currently in “beemergency” state - i.e. with less than 24 hours until derailment if you do not enter new data for them.

Hmm. They all have at least 7 days (I’m new and started all with the 7 day buffer…)

EDIT: and what do the check marks near some of the goals signify. Thanks so much!

After you log data for a goal, a check mark appears until the next day.
