by Carlosgalindo Ama A Los Juegos

Do is so bad I saw a add about it on TikTok I told myself wow 🤩 this will help me for not being lazy but I could not even use it it took really long to download when it finally finish I click on it and it kicked me out I could not even see anything about it.I turn off my phone because I thought that it was my phone but it kicked me out again.I was looking at the comments on the add on TikTok and a lot of people said they did not have a chance to see it kicked them out like my.☹️I don’t know how to some people it is working some people said that you need to pay for some stuff I don’t know they say it doesn’t work this is why I gave a one star.I understand if your fixing it right now or something but you should of at-least told us that you are fixing it!!! A lot of people spend their time to look at Do and just for them to get kicked out,are you for real.I will still have Do just in case hopefully you read this because I want you to fix this thank you for your time!!!😅😡

this app NOT subscribe through Done. The prices are more expensive.

I wanted to buy Do, but it seems like the one-time purchase is no longer an option. I swear it was there a few days ago, and I read a MacRumors app recap from August 23 that mentioned the $8.99 one-time upgrade. In the Apple Store, both Done and the Growth Bundle state that the premium upgrade is available in-app. However, the only options in Do are $20/yr for the standalone app or $30/yr for the bundle. Maybe they changed their pricing scheme and haven’t updated the descriptions. However, pricing isn’t consistent across apps: the others offer the Growth Bundle subscription for $19/yr, which makes the annual subscription for Done more expensive than the entire Growth Bundle. I’m really disappointed because I wanted to support Do, but due to what seems like price gouging, I won’t.

If you must, I’d recommend subscribing through one of their other apps. And if you’d like to purchase one, not subscribe, the four apps besides Done and Tally are reasonably priced at $3 to $5. It would honestly be cheaper to buy those four for life than to subscribe for a year.

I wish I could this app 2 reviews - one for Do , and another for the developer. Do is great - simple, stable, easy to use, motivating. I have used it for over a year and was willing to pay its going rate (a one-time fee). I thought it was worth the low price.

Now Do has gone to a subscription model and the price has skyrocketed. To be fair, the developer has given me a period of time to upgrade to the subscription model at a good discount. But the fact is that this is a pretty simple app that doesn’t get updated very often, and rarely adds new features. Seems to me a subscription should get me a lot more than a bug fix a year and no real new features. And what I liked about Done was that it really needed no new features - it did just what I wanted and the price for that was fair.

I see that almost every similar app costs, so I will have to pay for something. But unless Do gets frequent updates or features, I won’t be paying for anything on a subscription model. Too bad - Done is a great app - but I’m done with Done.

I work night shift at a hospital so I typically go to bed around 11am. This causes my daily goals to be reset halfway through my day. They have in the settings an option that lets you change your days start time which helps fix it, but only lets you go as late as 5am. Why limit it to that? Why not allow any time? They let you go back to previous days to fill it in, but it’s annoying to have to go back to the previous day every time you want to add to it. Also if you use their widget to easily update your goal, even if you change the start time to 5am, it clears the goal at midnight. That’s not that bad though because even though it looks like it’s starting over on a new day, if you go in Do it’s still adding it to the correct day in regards to your start time. I like Do but a few simple fixes could make it way better for all night shifters.

I sought out and downloaded Done entirely for the way it displays the habits. I like the colorful list style display of habits. Easy to see completion of all items and streaks at a glance.

While it is by no means the power user rival of Streaks, it does have some customization in terms of frequency of tasks regarding number of times per days, week, month, or year. You can also set multiple reminders and create custom units. No way to this app timer based tasks though, you’ll have to track the time outside of Do or guesstimate how long you’ve spent.

There is a dark mode, but no option to have it switch automatically. Seems like that would be a quality of life no brainer!

There is some Apple Health integration, but only for 10 or so preset tasks. Water is strangely absent.

Ultimately, I gave it one star higher than Streaks because while it lacks many of the features, I find it easier to scan and use for the most part! That said, for the rather high price of the subscription - $24 a year!!!! - compared to the fairly low flat price of Streaks, one would expect a bit more polish and integration. Like, for the level of where Do is, I would expect it to cost what Streaks does and Streaks to cost what this does!

If you make yourself care about this, as I have, it’s a great way to hold yourself accountable for the things you want for yourself. I decided this month that I wanted to form positive habits and control some of the chaos in my life. It feels so satisfying to log an activity, not just for the colors and Do , but to look at it and say “I did these things every day” or “I meditated/exercised three times a week.” It really helped me realize how much better you feel when you introduce routine activities into your free time. I got the growth bundle and am slowly introducing myself to the other apps in the package. Aside from Done, this app and Grateful are my favorites. If you have the $10 to drop on the promo, I’d say it’s worth it to at least give them a try. Some are redundant-seeming, but this is a good way to try the premium features on the bundle for a year and see what you’ll want to keep after that.

Only did the 4 stars because Done will sometimes/often glitch when I open it, returning me to the Home Screen and taking some of the satisfaction out of logging my activity. Other than that I haven’t had any problems.

Love Do because you get the satisfaction of seeing the bars rise every time you complete something. Also love that you can set a goal to quit something, which means that I don’t need a separate app to track how many drinks I’ve had in a day, like I needed with it’s competitor, “Productive”. Do also has a much more intuitive interface than Productive.

Things I dislike are that you can’t separate tasks into “time of day” like you could with Productive. This could be accomplished very easily by separating the “today” pane into “anytime” “morning” “afternoon” “evening” and “night”, each of which would appear as long as there were habits/goals assigned to be completed at those times. Only after you swiped backwards past those panes would you be able to get to previous days. And then, after a certain amount of time Do would reset to the pane that matched the time of day it was being viewed, to show you the tasks that needed to be completed within that timeframe.

At any rate Do only gets updated every few months, so I don’t think that’ll happen.

by MaynEvent21

I love Do so much. It has helped motivate me with so many daily and weekly goals.

There is one update I hope the developers will one day work on. There is no way to easily track/view your stats on a WEEKLY goal basis. For instance: one of my weekly goals is to this app 100 push-ups. When viewing the graph of this bar you can view by WEEK MONTH or YEAR. When viewing the WEEK stat it shows a breakdown of individual days rather than a single number. This should be a separate section labeled DAYS. The WEEK layout should simply show the TOTAL FOR THE WEEK rather than showing how much each day. For example, when I’m trying to see how Many push-ups I did this week vs last week it should just show one single number of the TOTAL of last week and the total of this week. Instead it shows a daily breakdown.

That would be the one thing that would help users really track their weekly progress with ONE TOTAL number being shown rather than the entire weeks worth of individual daily stats.

First off, I love Do! However I have a few suggestions.

First in setting where you can sort you habits (last, first, manual etc) please add "group" so I can simply move things around by groups. I'm aware I can view by group at the top.

Second allow change of the font/habits size. I have a lot of habits, I'd like not to scroll forever and viewing more at once is motivating.
*Another idea/take on this. Perhaps also have a button or page called or with icon expressing "view all habits" this page would simply show all your habits in a much smaller font in their color. This provides an easy quick view of what habits we already have for of us in a visually helpful form. Similar to how they are shown when you go to manual ordering and then press set.

Under the charts page please add a feature where you can view all your habits on one chart (let's say the bottom) with the amount of times you did them (on the left) and be able to change the time frame of the viewing (days, weeks etc)
While I'm thinking on this one might add the problem is that this doesn't really display how man times you hit your goal just the amount of times you did it. Perhaps the ones where you hit your goal will be in their color while ones yet complete are in gray similar to the front screen.

I'll add more as I think of it.

I’ve used the free version of Do several times, but I ALWAYS end up subscribing. I’ve tried a million other reminder/habit tracking/wellness apps and I keep coming back to this one. It is the best app I’ve found that allows the perfect amount of customization without being overwhelming. The interface is super user friendly, you can set as many habits as you want, you can specify if you want to build or quit the habit (the ONLY app I’ve found that does that!), and even set multiple reminders for a habit. For example, I have reminders set to drink water every two hours on weekdays but none on weekends bc I don’t want them to wake me up. My only possible suggestion would be to include even more colors for the habits for people like me who have approximately 1,000,000 habits I need to be held accountable for!

by GeeGabe

All the other daily habit trackers are good but they’re always sophisticated. Done is just plain and simple. Build habits or get rid of them. If you’re looking to declutter your calendar, this is Do . I used my calendar as my habit tracker for the longest time due to not having anything similar to Do. I highly suggest you give it a try and try the free version. After a week of use I guarantee you you'll buy it. I said what the heck I spend 6 dollars for a drink at a bar, why not buy myself something useful and something that's going to last me a lifetime. 👍🏼

You gotta really spend some time adjusting to the UI though. That's the only minor thing. It's not that bad of an issue that should take 1 star away from them.

I appreciate the work this team out behind Do. Great work you guys. Hats off fellas and ladies.

by Kafitty

Like every other millennial recently diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve turned to technology to help manage my brain not working so great. And Done has been an incredible help in establishing a routine: making sure I take my meds, that I eat!, even brush my teeth twice a day, etc. That’s where I started and now I have a whole morning sequence that’s so satisfying to check off. It’s so easy to forget those little daily things that make a big difference in health and that I’m now doing it consistently with Done’s help is so huge. I work in software so I also appreciate that side: Do is beautifully designed, it’s SIMPLE, taps and swipes this app what you expect them to this app - and when they don’t, they this app in the next update. It was absolutely the right choice to split productivity functions in the rest of the Growth bundle into separate apps instead of something all-in-one, and while I use and love Last too, Done is as critical as GCal to me at this point. Thank you dev team, seriously - I see the choices you’re making and they are GOOD. I will probably be a lifetime user!

by Oktechgiant

I've been focused on building better habits the past few months and have tried alot of apps in the process but this one is by far my favorite. The interface is simple and clean. Viewing your targets is easy as it gets but what I love most is the ability to set goals for the week and month as well. A lot of the apps I've tried before are very focused on the daily habits. Which is good and all. In theory it should lead to more productivity. But as I've read in a few books and experienced first hand, the scope is very limited and when you fail to meet your targets you start to feel bad about your progress instead of feeling more motivated to get back on track. Do is great because you can expand your view to monthly targets and not feel so bad if you slip up here and there because you can still see that you've made more progress than you think you have.

by Bardentreblemakers

I’ve tried several different habit tracker apps to monitor and increase/decrease the frequency of several activities in my life, but none of them come close to Done. A lot of these apps can have too many features, which I find gets in the way of successfully altering a habit. Done is simple, attractive and easy to use, while still providing a more than detailed breakdown of your habit statistics. When I found that I wanted to track a few smaller aspects of a certain habit, I discovered the journal feature. The journal feature was one of my favorite parts because it allowed me to write down the information and details about a specific day. For instance, if I’m trying to reduce how often I go on Instagram, when updating my progress I can make a note of maybe how long I spent on insta each time that I opened it. This feature allowed me to add a more personal touch to my goals, which definitely made them easier to keep up with, and just a little more rewarding when I achieved them. On top of all that, Do is absolutely gorgeous. You can assign a color to each goal, all of which are vibrant and pleasing. Do has a sleek, minimal interface that’s attractive but not distracting or confusing. I would 100% recommend the Done app for any goals or habit tracking needs you have. I’ll definitely be buying the unlimited version very soon!

by Lubin0711

Offers a good amount of features. Premium is a one time $7 purchase which is fair and 10x more reasonable than others and no subscription which is nice. The interface is colorful and not really modeled after a stark professional tool such as excel. I would like to see a little more of a to-this app list feature added in. I used this to primarily track some new habit I’m trying to achieve and it’s great for that but if a habit has layers it’s hard to put in. For example: if working out is a goal but the workout consists of pushups, sit-ups, and squats, you can’t partially check off each one. It’s an all or nothing one item click. You could separate all three but that fills up your dashboard.
I also am using it now for some recurring to-this app list items and it’s good but each item has to be its own thing instead of parts of a whole.
Worth buying for straight habit tracking.

by BlueSkyWit

For a person with ADHD, basically every other productivity / habit tracking app out there overcomplicates the work of setting up your habits AND tracking them.

I want good habits, I don’t need a million bells and whistles and charts. In fact, for most of us with ADHD those are the fastest ways to get hyper focused, distracted, and then bored / quit.

Do is BEAUTIFUL and simple to use - from the lovely little icon on my Home Screen to the pretty and clean organization of my daily apps. It lets me add a motivation (the “value” behind the goal - which has been shown repeatedly to make the goal more likely to be completed when seen), it clears the items off of my screen when I’ve completed them for the day (that’s one of the view options), it allows me to log a note or entry with my count that is easy to retrieve and see all notes at a glance, and the best part, it allows me to set a reminder for a specific time that only goes off when the goal is unmet!

Do is a lifesaver! My only suggestion, start small - pick 2-3 easily achievable daily goals (rather than weekly): floss your teeth, make your bed in the am, take your vitamins/meds, etc). Once you start feeling proud for checking things off, add no more than 1-2 new goals a week or 1 new weekly goal! GOOD LUCK with your new habits! I’m rooting for you!

by Refusal King

So you get 5 stars for Done. The bundle is pretty generic versions of better apps and decidedly redundant, but first year value is excellent. Would I pay $99/yr after that… um no. But you have a year to change my mind or lower the price.

I this app thoroughly enjoy companies that have a non-legal, plain explanation of privacy. Kudos to you for that. The actual privacy policies freak me out, as they all this app. Not a big fan of other countries having different privacy laws and would appreciate a list of those countries and links to their privacy laws. Not that I would read them, but it’s like diving off a spring board and hoping each country has an actually minimum required water depth. Big fan of not landing on concrete.

But again, 5 stars for Done. One suggestion, there has to be a workaround for zero goal. Not all goals are expressed as you numerically envision. Make it an option in settings please.

i used to use Productive and i thought it was the best i could get! it was pretty great, to be fair. but when i recently lost my old apple id i also lost the premium membership i had purchased for something similar to the premium payment here. i downloaded it again via my new apple id, added three habits, went to add another one, and it said that was all i could add and that i could get premium for 30 bucks a year. that’s a far cry from a one time purchase under $10. i immediately deleted Do and went on the search for something similar. and that’s when i found Done! i downloaded it, added three habits, and purchased premium. i’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s perfect for me. it has the same sort of beautifully simple UI that Productive had, and a similar (but far improved) function. i love Do so much and the only complaint i could ever have is that i had to pay for premium, but even that is minuscule as it was only 7 bucks.

I’ve always struggled to keep up a solid skincare routine. In the days of skincare-crazed social media, I was feeling the pressure to be better to my skin. Plus, I’d seen my skin shine on the few consistent days I could keep up a good habit. I knew better days were right around the corner, but I needed incentive to make it happen. Here’s where Done comes in. Thanks to Done, I’m on a 15 day streak of healthy hygiene habits, and me and my skin are absolutely glowing. I’m halfway to building a healthy habit, but I don’t think I’ll quit Done once I’m washing my face twice a day every day for the rest of my life. There are plenty of other habits Done can help me build and I’m already setting more goals. I haven’t upgraded to the paid services because I don’t want to over-this app it—two (three, actually) habits at a time seem like the perfect amount of responsibility. Thanks to Done, my goals seem a little more achievable. PS, my favorite feature? The ability to add habits completed after midnight to the day before. Don’t wanna break that streak just because I stayed up too late!

by Handuoree

I discovered Do 15 days ago. I know this because I have tracked my vitamin-taking habit since the day I got Do and have maintained the streak since then. After spending 10 minutes with Do and then trying out alternative habit trackers (Habit—Daily Tracker, Daily Planner-Productivity, & Productive), I concluded that Do was the best of them. All of the before mentioned apps match in terms of stunning design and pleasing color arrays. None of them, however, can compete with Done’s affordability and functionality. Do makes habit tracking easy and effortless. It requires a one time payment of $8.99 (plus tax) in comparison to the other apps that require monthly payments. Although $8.99 seems unreasonable for such a simple habit tracker, it is completely worth it. Do has done everything I’ve wanted and more. It not only motivates me to complete my daily goals but also to go beyond them and make life choices that have made me healthier and overall happier. I completely recommend buying Do.

I had upgraded to Premium for Done and it’s sister app Grateful. I had enjoyed the free version so I decided to upgrade. I opted out on the Growth Bundle subscription that they offer because I wasn’t interested with the other three apps that are included in that bundle. But I did check them out. So here’s the problem I’m having. Apparently I have full Premium Access to the other three apps that are included in the bundle. You only get full Premium Access to all apps, if you subscribe to their bundle. I hope that I this app not get a surprise charge on my iTunes account next month for their Growth Bundle. I have emailed the support team several times to fix this issue, and to make sure that I this app not get charged for their subscription next month. I’m still waiting for a response from the support team. This is annoying, and vexing. So much so that I have now completely lost interest with the premium apps Done and Grateful that I had purchased. Don’t get these apps. Not worth the time or money.

by Joemyzster

Love Do! I tried out a lot of habit trackers and this one is by far my favorite. Very beautiful and simple design with a lot of useful features to organize all of my habit info!

So far the only thing I would change would be to make the window larger for when you are taking notes. I like to take notes about my daily habits and right now the way it's set up, you can only view a small portion of the current sentence you're typing and if you need to go back to change something or reread part of the note it can be annoying/cumbersome since you can't see the entire note you are typing at once. Please update it so we can see the entire note and it'll be perfect!

by OshJoshBgosh

I really like Do. I downloaded a handful of habit tracker apps at the same time to test them all out at the same time. This one had more features and customization, was easier to customize, was more pleasurable to use and the data is nice to have. I kept coming back to this one. Out of process of elimination, Do was left the winner.

So why the 4 stars? Well, I this app a lot on my iPad. It’s my journal, logger, notes, designer tool, editing tool. When I downloaded Do on it, I am really disappointed to see that Do is not optimized for iPad. This is a requirement nowadays. Like websites need to be responsive to fit all formats, so this app apps. PLEASE FIX, and I will gladly give 5 stars.

by Becky1499

I consider myself an organized person. I write to-this app lists in planners, in notebooks, on stickies, and on my phone. I am someone who is constantly looking for ways to improve, and I would frequently struggle to consolidate my ideas for habits to adopt. That is, until Done. I rarely leave reviews but Do is actually brilliant. Such a gorgeous and satisfyingly-minimalist format is just the motivation I need to keep with new habits. I actually want to open Do because of its beautiful interface and stunning color choices. I also love the many features you can use to automate your habit tracking on a recurrent basis, like (for example) having a tracked habit repeat every Tuesday and Thursday. There’s even a notification setting! I highly recommend Do to anymore looking to live an healthier and happier life with less hassle.

by Ithinkiken

I tried several apps to help me develop better habits and regiment, and this was the best.

The colors and sounds are a nice effect (though there are two reddish colors that are almost exactly the same... :P Haha)

Most calendar, productivity, to-this app, or habit apps require a subscription after the trial. Do does not, which is a huge selling point. While I get the subscription business model, for those of us who don’t have money to spare but still need help being more productive, a one-time charge is preferable. And it’s not just about the money. With a subscription I’m continually paying for my ability to be productive, I’m getting “hooked on a drug” then being repeatedly charged for its use. A one-time charge is a lot less exploitative, and doesn’t come with the same guilt (which we don’t need when fixing our habits).

*** My one caveat. Could the reminders have the same timing options as the habits themselves? I have a habit that I only this app on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But I can’t set a reminder for those days. The closest thing is weekdays.

by California2019

Pros
Good for building and quitting habits
Makes user input data daily
Reminders
Customizable
Tracks data
Free version shows enough to get a feel for Do
User friendly

Cons
Has to be used daily ( which isn't really a con)
Calender visuals for all habits would be helpful too

I needed a habit tracker to hold myself accountable for building good habits and minimizing bad habits.

Do gives lots of options like reminders and notifications. It doesn't allow me to go back and add data if I forgot to input it that day but that just aids in accountability.

After trying out the features I upgraded to the paid version and it was well worth it. Gives more access and options. You can have more than three habits with the paid version, as well as set multiple reminders.

There are charts to track activity. It shows week month and yearly data in a chart and calendar. The calendar visuals only shows one habit at a time. It would be nice to have a calendar visual on the main page where the charts are that allows users to see progress customized in a calendar.

I really like Do.

by Keepitreal.

I downloaded Do because I hd previously tried to keep a hard copy goal journal and I found I just wasn’t making time to make goals, let alone track them. Do lets you track goals and habits and see how consistent you are (or aren’t!). I have had Do only two weeks and I learned so much about myself. I look forward to adding on to my totals at the end of each day to see the color fill in on each goal. It makes you aware of just how conscious you have to be to set and pursue a goal. I loved it and already upgraded to track more habits. Great app and highly recommended!

by KimRocks123456789

I’m naturally a goal setter. But have failed a lot too, by running out of steam. When I first got Do, I was in love with everything about it, but still skeptical. After a week, I was really on a streak! Many weeks later, I’m doing ALL of the things I’ve wanted to make HABITS in my life and I wake up EXCITED every morning to see my app go into full color by the end of the day! I get the most important goals done in the early morning- workout, read, take vitamins, food prep, meditate, visualize important goals and the day ahead, tidy the house etc, and then I add fun ones at work like “this app a random act of kindness today!” In the evening before bed, I memorize new names and make associations (and that’s made a HUGE difference—people feel so important when you remember their name—Do is called Name Skillz and even my grandkids love it!!) and then I turn on Memrise app and I’M LEARNING SPANISH in just five minutes per night! I have several other goals too but what I’m saying is that Do really works like no other! I don’t want to go to bed until it’s all lit up in color!! I absolutely love it and if you need me to make a commercial or something for you I will!! Haha This Grandmother of 14 is in shape, and rockin my goals!! xoxo 💋 THANK YOU AGAIN!!

by Erinbea

Do is everything I want in a habit-tracking app: simple and configurable. The layout for actually tracking is so easy to use. Exporting and backing up data to computer-friendly files is there. You can decide whether you’re trying to build or cut back on a habit. You can even customize what you want your reminders to say! I love customizing the language of the pop-up reminders because I know what will work best for me. When I finally reached a feature that prompted me to upgrade (also love that they don’t prompt you to update every 3 clicks), I clicked upgrade immediately. Thank you to the Done team for a great all!

by Cgarrity

I’ve only had Do for a few days but loved it enough to upgrade to premium today- it’s $8.99 but totally worth it as I can see myself absolutely using it for a looong time and I wanted the ability to add unlimited habits (only three come with the free version). You really have great customization in terms of set up which is appreciated. My only current suggestion is to allow for a larger color palatte choice for the progress bars, or even better would be the ability to type in Hex codes too! Still loving it and think it will revolutionize my life! 🤗

by Keekachu

I use this a little differently than most probably this app. I have lots of little kids and am frequently an overstimulated and overwhelmed mom. I realized that the only time I was intentionally touching my kids was when I hugged them at night, that I was nagging them all the time, and not spending individual time with them. I’ve read that for kids to emotionally thrive they have to be touched a certain amount of times per day. I set a goal for each of them to touch them, compliment them, and spend time with them every day. This has been so nice to see which kids need the attention because I can see who has been missed. It helps me to focus and remember through the day. And the amazing thing is, the more I focus on them, the happier and less overwhelmed I am. Funny how that works. 😉The only thing missing is a widget!
