5/5Great alternative to the Strides app
I originally downloaded an app called Strides and it was super cool but they only let you add 3 habits for free and want you to pay $40 A YEAR for a subscription. That’s bananas to me. I kept looking around app store and came across this app and I like it way better than Strides and it costs 90% less and it’s a one time payment. This app is even more robust than Strides in my opinion as well and at such a more reasonable price point! We can’t all afford multiple $20-40 a year subscriptions, that stuff really adds up. Thank you to the developers of Stepwise for offering such an amazing app at a such reasonable price point. The only thing I wish this app had different was the ability to track habits for multiple users, like tracking for small my kids, or maybe categorize the habits by type. (your kids, your work, your school, your home, etc.)

5 New Habit Templates Build better routines faster with five new starter packs: Better Sleep, Healthy Eating, Financial Wellness, Daily Reading, and Deep Work. Each template now lets you pick exactly which habits to add — deselect anything that doesn't fit your lifestyle before applying. Needs Attention (Analytics) A new card on the Analytics screen highlights habits that are slipping — habits you haven't touched in days, ones with a rising skip rate, or a recent relapse after a long streak. No more hunting for what's going wrong. Skip Rate & Comeback Rate (Premium) Two new Advanced Analytics sections show how often you skip scheduled habits and — more importantly — how quickly you bounce back after missing one. The comeback rate is often more motivating than the streak itself. Analytics Screen Improvements Lifetime stats and week-over-week comparisons now appear above the timeframe picker, since they cover all-time data. The monthly report is only shown when the Month tab is selected. The Day of Week chart now appears before the completion times breakdown. Bug Fix Fixed a crash that could occur when using "Delete All Data" in Settings.
