Habits app good for
This app is great for what is too long a list of things I should do regularly. It ranks thing by how long it seems been since Ive done it. When an item rises to the top, I know its been too long.
This GTD app is really simple to use. Theres also a help section to give some good examples of how you might use some of the commands.
For example, you can Pause a habit if you are going on a business trip and know you cant do something, but dont want it to count against your stats.
Love this app! Very useful for keeping regular activities off my calendar and to-do list. One suggestion- would like the options of "every morning" and "every evening". Highly recommended.
Within the first minute of downloading Habits I was able to easily set up several activities and reminders. I will be relying on Habits to adhere to my list of New Years resolutions and can recommend this app to anyone else with similar goals.
I really like this app to keep me honest on things I need to do that dont have a specific due date and to avoid cluttering my todo list. I agree that the UI could be dressed up a bit but most of all I wish the app displayed a badge of the items that should be done now. hopefully the app will be continually updated. Thanks!
Habits is unlike any other GTD. Where other GTDs focus on single tasks, Habits takes care of your all round ability to live your life. The app is very simple and has a very functional UI. If you want to get yourself to go to the gym every alternate day, or clear our junk files every week, Habits will get you to do it. 4 Stars because I have a minor issues with UI decisions. Recommended.
Some bad moments
The old version was so much better. The updated version has terrible interface. The app freezes and it is hard to move the list.
Its a nice little App. I can see where the developer was heading and I applaud his efforts. Where it falls short is you cant set anything up for more than once a day. If you need to do something more than once a day youre stuck. I would really appreciate an update that would allow users to set things up for more than once a day and maybe even set a time!
This is a great app, but I do agree with others that a password feature & ability to set tasks to every morning / every evening would be an improvement.
I wanted a streak-calendar type app, and this was the cheapest, so I thought Id try it out.
Sadly, it was a waste of $2.
Its totally confusing. Not to mention its fugly.
The only pro, which is partly why I bought it in the first place, is that you can pause your goal on vacations, weekends, etc. so they wont count against your streak.
If this app was easier to use or at least looked nice, Id raise my rating by a LOT.
Id recommend spending an extra couple of bucks and get another app better and similar to this one.
Heres a couple similar apps to check out before making your decision:
- Goalkeep
- Streaks
Its unclear which days you have already marked, and it does not give graphical indications of your progress. This app would be more worth it if it added to-dos to Calendar. Overall, Streaks is much better.
Very nice concept overall, not sure if implementation is 100% worked out. For example, I have a habit saved for every week, it says I last did it on the 5th, today is the 8th and its in my "time to do" list.
Once a habit goes overdue, there is no way to track how many times it wasnt done.
