Good routine tracking app
I really don’t like cluttering my Things app with normal routing things, so I tried this app to enter all of my regular habits. So far, I really like it. It allows you to set custom intervals for tasks (every 2 weeks, 1st Wednesday of each month, day 15 of each month, once every 3 months), making it very flexible. You can also set custom alerts for each task. There are a lot of settings, but they aren’t too hard to set. It can even be set to uncheck the tasks at the next interval automatically. One thing that it doesn’t do, though, is keep stats on how often you complete your routine, but I don’t really need this for what I am doing. There are a few things I wish the app would do differently. For one thing, if you set an alert, it goes off at the time you set it even if you have checked off the task as completed for that day. It allows you to set a task for a time interval, but you can’t set, for example, a weekly task that can be completed any time during the week. You have to at least set a day. You can set alerts before the time to complete a task, but you can’t set alerts to fire after the time interval if you haven’t completed the task or have repeating alerts if the task is not addressed. It has a today page to show what you need to do today, but it doesn’t allow you to customize it to see more upcoming tasks. Of course, it lacks any kind of cloud sync, but I can live with out this.
United StatesGreat in theory - notifications don’t work
The notifications only go off sometimes. There also no quick way to see if you even have a notification set, which is a pain. Also, after checking off a task for yesterday, it didn’t refresh for the next day despite being a daily task, totally defeats the purpose.
United StatesGreat...almost.
I love this app. It’s easy and extremely useful. I am unable to actually use it because the notifications do not get my attention. I have ADHD and I tend to need notifications/alarms that are loud and persistent, especially if I’m hyperfocused on something. For some reason I do not get the sound/haptics on my watch and even when I change my settings I don’t hear the notifications on my iPhone ☹️. I intend to send the developer an email and hopefully they can improve the notifications!
United StatesGreat solution I have been looking for
I have tried many, many checklist apps (some free, many paid) to get something where I could make routine checklists for each part of the day. I really want to keep these constantly repeating tasks out of my task manager (OmniFocus) to prevent clutter. While there are changes I would make based on my personal use of the app (weekly tasks with no particular day set), default view hiding checked off tasks), overall the app is so smooth and so much what I have been wanting that I have to give it 5 stars. Minor request: would be nice to have the items completed not be visible.
United StatesMissing notifications which kills this app
Please add notifications. To me this is worthless without
United StatesProblem With Latest Update?
This has long been a reliable app — simple, straightforward. The latest update, however, seems to have impacted the UI. Entries appear correctly in landscape orientation, but not in portrait. I am contacting developer, and am wondering if others are experiencing this?
United StatesNeeds Cloud Sync!!!
I have had this app going all the way back since my original iPad. It fills a specific niche need. However, as I have added iPhone (4s, now 6), then iPad Mini, I have discontinued use of this app. Why? Because I had set up such a comprehensive list on my first iPad, and I have kept believing that in short time, the developer will update the app with a sync function. I even emailed them about it to specifically request that feature after waiting for several months and it didn't appear! They assured me it was planned for future development. When I got notification that it had been updated recently , I though the time had finally come . . . Not so. Very disappointed. Cannot understand why the developer after 3 (?) years of sync through the cloud being available, has still not made this feature a part of the app. If it had it, it would be a Five-Star App again!
