June Service Update: Better Recommendations, More Accountability, and an Identity of Your Choice

A little over a week ago, we released our monthly Limeade product update. We haven't been regularly posting release announcements to our blog, so we thought we'd take a few minutes to review some of our new features we've been working on over the past few months.

Get the best recommendations
Our recommendations are now more specific and useful than before.  We built them using the best of behavior change science, plus the thousands of goals created by the community over the past few months (which we can see anonymously).  To help you choose among them, the goal chooser on your Plan page presents you with all the goals related to what you'd like to improve.

Hold yourself accountable
Sometimes, it's easier to achieve goals by breaking them down into daily or weekly chunks.  Like:

• Bike 20 miles this week
• Go for a walk three times for 20 minutes each
• Drink no more than two sodas a day, or…
• Tell someone what you're grateful for every day
  

It's all possible with the addition of Weekly Goals, which you can set for all Numeric and Yes/No goals.

An identity of your choice
We've been blown away by the number of challenges, forum posts and activity from anonymous participants in our service.  [See ‘link to engagement blog’].  But as many of you tell us -- you want to create your own name and identity on the site.  In fact, the ability to change your Sign In name was the most-requested feature on the site.

Faster incentive points you can count
Incentive points should be updating about as fast as you can snap now, and you can see the details of your incentive points history by clicking on the points total on your Home page.

What's next?
This service is first and foremost for you.  We're planning lots of exciting improvements to our service.  We'd love to hear what you'd like to see -- tell us!
