#3I don't like how hard they try to hide the fact that you can purchase "gems", even the FAQ page doesn't discuss what you actually need them for. Does anyone who has used this before know if they start getting in the way or becoming more important than actually completing tasks?

They're only useful for cosmetic and extra quests and the like. You can just straight up ignore them and not lose out on anything.

You are right. I'd bought some gems with my Google Opinion Rewards money, and the only use someone has for gems is for costumes and backgrounds - all cosmetic changes, nothing that affects the gameplay. IIRC you can use gems to change your class if you wish, but you get an Orb of Regeneration at Level 100, so you can change your class for free at that point.

#9It is weird how we have normalized the fact we need an app to remind us to drink water, or work for one hour. I don't see how this can help one make substantial and long changes to one's life and habits.
