5/5Old faithful / Gold Standard
I’ve possibly tried every habit app, and keep coming back to this one. I find it causes me more anxiety to deal with all the bells and whistles of the other apps than just straightforward check boxes - I did it / I didn’t / I’m skipping. For others I felt like I needed a habit app just to do all it took to record my habits! However what makes this a gold standard is that in addition to the simple and intuitive interface, it has one of the best data outputs of any of the apps I’ve tried. Actually I think it is the best. I also like that whenever there’s an update, it feels like the app developers are writing you a personal note to let you know what they did and why they did it :) I know these types of apps can’t be one size fits all, but I wish more people would try this because everyone I’ve recommended it to really loves it! Ps -The only bells and whistle type of thing I kind of missed was having cute icons, but then I realized I can just add emojis at the beginning of each task which is actually way better because then I can make it much more specific compared with some the weird icon packs from other apps! PPS - the recent different theme update sealed the deal because it now looks just as cool as all the ones with too much fluff! Great work developers 👏🏻 👏🏻

5/5Please make this sync across devices!
I have used this app for years. I don’t even know how many. I feel like at least 10 years. Every so often I reevaluate my listed habits — update etc. That is when I think it would be awesome to have it on my phone and IPad. I have tried everything to sync across devices. But, it never works. I then check out every single habit app there is. I have purchased countless habit apps. Nothing is ever as good. I always come back. This is a great app. A lot of helpful features but not so many it is overwhelming to learn. There really is nothing that compares and I have looked and tried every habit app that syncs. The simplicity is what makes it head and shoulders above the rest. It is a brilliant design. I feel like years ago I read you were working on syncing across devices. But it never happened. It would be just that much better if I could use on my iPad and phone. Please please please make it so it is easy to use on multiple devices! Using it really has become my way of life. Regardless, thanks for a great app. I cannot think of any other app I have used as much or as long as this one. So, I was going to give 4 stars but I will give 5 just for how long I have used it. MAKE SYNC ACROSS DEVICES AVAILABLE- at this point I would pay to sync.

5/5Helps me improve habits & make good decisions!
I’ve been using this app on and off for years now but have been using it very consistently for a couple years straight now and it has had a tremendous positive impact on my life. Having a really quick and easy way to log my patterns and behaviors each day allows me to be more aware and accountable to myself. Visible seeing exactly how many days in a month I log a “bad” habit makes me more inspired to improve it, and seeing the number count up on my streaks makes me want to keep them going through healthy competition with myself, because I don’t want to break my streak! It helps motivate to be able to see you milestones broken down into specific numbers and statistics. Clean design, quick and easy to use, and I love the variety of ways you can display the data. This app has enabled me so much in my own personal growth and health, and I recommend it regularly and now have a bunch of friends using it and seeing improvement in their own lives as well. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Thanks for all you do, Lars!

5/5Better than ever!!!
Been using this app for about 3 years, and it’s now been about 2 years since I last left a review. Through steady updates, this continues to be the best habit/task tracking app out there for me. It’s simplicity, function, and charm just can’t be matched. The most recent update involves some nifty design changes so I thought I’d update my 2 year old review. I really do love the newer update! It brings so many design elements that make the app much more beautiful and modern. Buttons, journals, and charts look so much cleaner and more modern. I also love the new themes! The dark themes are more favs, but the other ones really do bring out different moods and vibes from app. With each update, the developer brings something new to the table, which just goes to show how hard working and dedicated the devs are — not only to the app, but to its users. This continues to be a quality app that I’ve used everyday for 3 years and I consider to be an essential for all iOS users. I hope the dev continues to bring us quality and keep up the good work! Every bit of praise and success this app gets is well deserved.

5/5Helpful! Encouraging!
I find this app the best for habit forming. I bought several to test out which one I would like the best since forming a good habit is so critical to healthy living. This app has a notification on the app (red bubble with number of habits waiting to be completed that day). The notification is helpful to remind you as the day goes on and you can see the number go down. I made the mistake of having 7 habits and it grew to 10. I'm down to 3 now since I was feeling defeated when I didn't accomplish all 10. Simple habits like "make your bed in the a.m." or "take vitamins" or "exercise for 10 minutes". I was sick for a few days but I checked off that I exercised and took my vitamins and wrote a note in that box that I would have exercised and taken vitamins if I wasn't puking. Or you can hit the skip button and write a note why you had to skip. If you didn't have to skip, check the "X" and use that as an oppty to get better. It's not a negative mark on you, it's an oppty to get more green check marks and improve. Keep it simple and support and encourage yourself.

4/5
a great, simple app that's helping to change my habits for a healthy life. For a small one-off fee, there are no ads and full functionality. I definitely recommend this app to others. a small adjustment required: i wish it would start a new week at midnight my time, not midnight somewhere else in the world. Can the app be recoded to refer to my phone's date/time functionality please. TY
