everyday - Habit Tracker Reviews

by Jtw.fyi

Price went from $1/month to $5/month, or from $12/year to $30/year. Most of the “worth it” reviews reflect the original pricing. No clue why the developer suddenly felt everyday was worth 3x the price, and moreover, I’m just sad that apps that once went for a one time purchase of $3 to $5 are now trying to charge the same monthly. I blame Apple for that... greedy!

UPDATE: Developer responded below that the price had to go to because everyday wasn’t sustainable. That’s the problem with many app developers today. They want to write one app, get customers, then raise the price. They’ve given up on making other apps and adding more value to draw in more customers. Instead, they’re exploiting their one success story and raising prices for the few who are willing to stick around. It’s happening over and over and over. $4 calendar utilities turning into $20 calendar utilities for a “polish” upgrade, turning into $30/year subscriptions - for a calendar utility.

At the end of the day, if you feel like an app that replicates what you can do with a spreadsheet is worth $60/year, go for it. But this sort of price jacking is ruining everyday Store, slowly, through attrition. Maybe the balance sheets don’t yet reflect it, but they will.

Free - with in-app purchases. Not too long ago, it seems, that generally meant you’d get a highly functional app, maybe 75% of all functions, then if you wanted the other 25%, you could get that via an in-app purchase. Sadly, that’s not the case with everyday, and many others these days. Here you get very little functionality, not even enough to evaluate if it’s suitable for your purposes, IMO. By the time you discover that you can only track 3 habits with the free version, you’ve already spent 20 minutes or more setting it up. Now you need to spend an equal amount of time removing all the stuff you installed to remove it completely. Apple really needs to do something about developers using “Free - with in-app purchases” this way.

The text size was all wonky on my phone so I couldn’t fully use everyday . For example, I set a few short goals and then couldn’t tell two of them apart bc the first few words were similar. I tried turning my phone and it didn’t adjust. Another example, I couldn’t pick all the color options for individual goals and they didn’t slide along as options. I could see the blue color cut it ran off the side of my screen and I couldn’t select it. Finally, I couldn’t easily find a help link to see if the issue was me. Deleted everyday .

(If you read this first part, please read all!) With a simple app such as this, there really shouldn’t even be a price. At least not one like $30 per year. Even though it’s a small price overall, maybe everyday should just cost a small $5 fee as a one time purchase. I downloaded everyday because I thought it was going to be a good habit tracker. Then, after finding out I can only track 3 habits max unless I purchase the “premium” package.... not worth it. I can just find another app that’ll be free or of very little cost.

(I’m leaving my previous comment so it’ll remind me not to submit such a critical and pointless review)

After reading others reviews and much consideration, I’ve decided to “amend” my previous review. I completely understand now that apps do cost money, not just to create, but also to run, maintain, and update and upgrade. I appreciate all the work that has been put into everyday! It really is a great Habit Tracking app that is well developed and designed.
I was angry that I couldn’t find a simple app that I could download and use that was free and could simply track like 5 to 10 habits. Most of the apps I’ve found only track 3 and for a limited time because of the cost to run everyday . It’s completely understandable and I apologize for being so stupid with my first posting of my review. $30 for an entire year is really a STEAL for any user wanting a solid app such as this one!!

This is an incredible app for making positive changes in one's life. We know that motivation is what gets you started...but it is finite. Habits are what KEEP you going. everyday is a vital tool to instill positive changes in one's life.
There is a free version if you would like to give it a try but the premium is worth every penny. Unlimited habits, full access across all devices forever, access to future improvements in everyday - and the support is unmatched. Get it now.

I had it at 4 stars, but updated it to 5. Joan helped me add my previous habit data from a different app I was using.

Also after a week of use I’ve grown to like everyday more and more. The e-mails that have been sent with advice and insight have been helpful and changed my approach to using everyday .

Also like my previous review said, everyday is visually appealing and easy to use.

everyday is the sole reason I have kept up with my new year resolutions. I’ve set the widget on my home page, and it serves as a constant reminder to do the three resolutions I set. I’m certain I would not have kept on my resolutions if not for everyday.
It’s extremely beneficial to have a visual reminder each time I get on my phone.
Highly recommend everyday to start a new habit!

by Jbiebzshawtiie

I love the sleek and simple but yeah effective strategy for deploying everyday. Not only does everyday allow me to keep track of my habits but it allows me to do so in a way that will encourage and help me out psychologically. I feel as though the psychological help and approach to completing tasks efficiently is the best way to go about building good habits. The help that is provided along with the simple layout of everyday only makes it better. Also when I needed help and had questions about the application I was able to reach out to Joan and received a response in less than 30 minutes. If that isn’t the epitome of EXCELLENT customer service and dedication, then I don’t know what is! If I could rate everyday a 6/5 stars then I would!

About a month in, and everyday is keeping me on track to make daily progress on what had been elusive goals. I love it!

I'm a Duolingo user, and noticed how that app keeps me motivated to continue a language learning streak. This does the same, but for...anything you want to accomplish. It also has a mode to help shed bad habits. It includes info on the pyschology/science behind habits.

The UI works great but the interface would work better if it was fluid/fit to container. As of now there is too much dead space if you arent sizing the window according to the interface. Also, I hope there is an update to use icons instead of words for the streaks, similar to the streaks app. It is nice to have a large icon next to a small descriptive word in that app.

After a year of using this habit tracker I tried switching to a free app and within two weeks switched back to this app. Yes, it costs a bit of money. However, I realized that a tool that actually motivates me to stick with my habits is worth it. For me it’s three things:
1. It’s very easy to use and intuitive. Other apps have me clicking all over the place just to track data. It’s easy to find info with everyday.
2. Building the saturation of colors is motivating. A simple string of checks didn’t inspire as much.
3. It has a widget which is a huge plus for me. I like seeing my progress whenever I open my phone.

Also - first time around I didn’t access the articles and other resources as much so taking advantage of those features was another reason why I saw value in everyday.

I’ve tried numerous habit trackers and reminder apps over the years, and nothing has grabbed me so completely as this one. The visuals, the clean interface, the gentle reminders to not skip two days (but no “punishment” other than a break in the color gradient if you need to skip twice), the incredibly compelling and nuanced widget options— all of this earns a “wow” from me. I’m historically resistant to subscriptions, but $29/year for what everyday is giving me in terms of mental health is an absolute steal.

Yes, you could do this on paper, but will you? You could do this in a spreadsheet, but will you? Having the large widget right there on my Home Screen has been motivating in a way I have honestly never felt. If you have ADHD this is a jolt to the system in the best possible way. If you’re an artist or designer you’ll love the aesthetic. If you simply need an easy way to track a few habits, go with the free version, it’s marvelous and without ads or other shackles. If you need more than three habits, great! The paid version is well worth the subscription, and I’m glad to be putting money in a skilled independent developer’s hands. Thank you Joan!

I’m new to using your app but I already love it! It’s so helpful and I appreciate what you’ve made for the world :) you are great people.

I have one suggestion for everyday . I’d love to be able to swipe to go back, kind of like on safari and you can swipe from the edge of the screen to go back a page.

Like, if in everyday I tap on Menu>About it brings up a new page. But if I swipe to go back, it doesn’t work. I have to reach up and tap the arrow in the top left corner. Just a convenience, in my opinion!

by Miloofcroton

Can I make one suggestion?

I know I just said everyday is easy to use, and it's easy because it's simple. However, I think you can make a simple UI that has more powerful features.

The ONE killer feature that I would like to see is the ability to create workout regimens. It would be a 'habit', but instead of it just having a name and a description, you could program it to have a different detail for every day in a 30 or 60 day period.

Let’s be honest... eye candy matters. If it didn’t, we’d all still be working from a command prompt on a monochrome display. Color and graphics make it so much easier to assimilate data and this app positively EXCELS at this. (Nothing to do with the MS spreadsheet app of the same name). this app runs smooth and stable on iPhone, iPad and the web (in fact, there’s more real estate for OCD types like me to fill on the web view). Added bonus: the dev eats his own dogfood - he includes a lot of surprisingly useful and inspirational content in the form of ‘documentation’. He’s also very responsive to comments and questions.

by Mehhhh..

Someone recommended I try everyday to keep track of goals I wanted to accomplish. The first three tasks are free but any more will cost a subscription. I had previously seen a discount in December and I must have missed it, but Joan still hooked me up with the discounted subscription. Joan is also very accessible and responsive to questions or feedback. I like to support the indie developer and this app has helped me maintain momentum for the tasks I want to track and achieve. Give it a shot and I highly recommend supporting your indie devs, especially if you get some satisfaction from everyday !

I scoured everyday Store for something that I could use for a Daily Flow/recurring schedule planner, using the concept of 3 Rocks and 4 Blocks (the idea is that you have 3 fixed events in the days - the rocks - and the other portions of the day are your blocks.) this app is working amazingly for this - I have 3 habits as my “rocks”, with reminders set, and then use remaining habits to fill in the other portions of the day. The color coding makes it a breeze to visualize the whole day. It’s easy to look ahead and see the whole day at a glance. Also love the Apple Watch integration. This is an awesome app - thanks so much for creating!

It’s cliche but I really don’t write reviews ever. I’ve recently been testing 4 or 5 different habit trackers and then found this one and realized my search was over. It has worked flawlessly for me thus far and the user interface truly is gorgeous. I needed something that had a web UI since I spend most my time working with 4 monitors and this has worked great between my windows desktop, iPad, and iPhone. The bright sharp colors motivate me to stick to my habits in order to fill it up while the dark mode is nice and easy on my eyes. Also love the streak counters on the side so I can see them without having to go searching. Signed up for a year and it was worth every dollar.

by Calcifer2022

everyday is really helping me stick to my good habits. I noticed my streaks getting just a little bit longer over time, maybe only a few days here and there to start. But after a few months use, I am now consistently hitting two week streaks. It gets addicting, not wanting to break the streak, and sometimes all it takes is that little extra push and visual representation (which is also really pleasant to look at and easy to use, especially in dark mode) of a habit to get it to stick. The consistency is making a tangible difference in my work, marriage, health, and social life already. Excited to see how long my current streaks on my habits last. Spend the couple bucks on premium, it’s worth it.

by Benlepine

Simple & easy to use, I’ve used tons of task/habit managing apps before finding this one 👍
It’s not like some of the other apps I’ve downloaded that were overcomplicated and or overwhelming, everyday makes sure to give also tips on how to get the most out of it’s features, which is really helpful.
I’ve only had everyday for one day but I have confidence that it’ll help me maintain some good habits in my routine.
I also like how the creator gives a bit of background about why they decided to make everyday!

Price went from $1/month to $5/month, or from $12/year to $30/year. Most of the “worth it” reviews reflect the original pricing. No clue why the developer suddenly felt everyday was worth 3x the price, and moreover, I’m just sad that apps that once went for a one time purchase of $3 to $5 are now trying to charge the same monthly.

by Smammal

everyday does exactly what I wanted it to do, I love the style and the simplicity, but I was shocked by the subscription price. I would use the free version with 3 activities, but after the free week trial everyday won’t let me delete the extra activities I’d entered but can no longer use. It’s too bad that maintaining apps is so expensive, I’m know that’s not the developers fault. Guess I’ll have to make do with a googlesheet shortcut on my home screen instead. It achieves pretty much the same result :/

by MatthewAV

Dev (Sunay), great work!
•UI/UX definitely use a design education/experience—color, shapes, spacing—all stick in my mind and make app intuitive.
•I just started evaluating and definitely leaning to subscription!

•Some people (xLowIQx) are soft, weak, void of personal responsibility, and expect to be taken care of by others. Entitlement babies.
•Do they buy vehicle tires then go back the next year to get free upgrades? The days of demanding free/cheap apps are over.
•iPhones will soon be subscription based. Look it up!

everyday, your work are singularly high caliber. The market will bear what you ask because of your quality and high end functionality.

Keep up the good work!

by Steve Daar

I’ve tried other tools and for whatever reason(s) they didn’t really work for me. I’d resigned myself to using pen and paper (which works well enough but a bit clunky). Found everyday via Reddit and have loved using it for the past few weeks. Highly likely I upgrade to the premium version in near future.

by Kreuzberg007

I’ve often found myself having problems sticking to the habits I meant to form and so I decided to get a habit tracker, one on my phone is convenient. I had to try out a few apps but this one is by far my favorite and it’s helping so much. It looks pretty and I do it this app, the encouraging emails are nice. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!!

by Max Jacobson

These habit tracker apps are great, because once you build up some momentum doing your habits every day, it becomes easier and easier to keep them up. I used to use a different one, but what I love about this one is that I can customize the colors so much, and it maintains a high score, so even if I “break the chain,” I have a goal to start shooting for again right away.

by D To The A To The V

The bright, vivid blocks are like eye candy!
Let’s face it, the idea of habits can seem confusing. Well... that’s the reason you press the “helpful hints” tab and confusion gone! For me everyday just has an “it” factor to it:)
We’re all smart folks and know when something is well, better... better thought out, better designed, better maintained etc.
Right? Thanks!

by MrMinorChord

$12 a year is a steal for the value of this habit tracker. I especially love how the new update improved the design (which was already 5-stars) and offered more statistics for me to see. The setup allows for “don’t skip twice” mentality which I find is a lot more sustainable than a “don’t break the chain/streaks mean everything” mentality that I see on some self-improvement apps.

by Stabbby

For those complaining for tracking only three habits while it’s free, shouldn't be tracking more than three in the first place.
Habits are to be built SLOWLY. Too many new habits at once won’t help. But it’s nice to track all the habits you already have.

Please bring to OSX and sync-able. That’s all I ask (which I know is a big task) other than that, great app looking forward to the nice habit results in the end

by Whitnaaays

everyday is awesome. It’s helped me get rid of bad habits and make new habits. I haven’t played my guitar for a long time but now that I can track how often I play, I play a lot more. It’s simple and colorful. I wish you could sign in to an account so data won’t be lost if everyday gets deleted but overall I love everyday .
