RoutineFlow Reviews

I do not recommend buying the pro version. It’s a scam. I feel robbed I paid $20 for the pro version of RoutineFlow and literally nothing changed. I emailed Thomas and he doesn’t respond. So if you’re going to use RoutineFlow, you might as well use the free version because you’re paying for nothing & and if you’re not spending any money, of course RoutineFlow is ok but when you spend your money, & you don’t get what you’re supposed to it becomes trash, worthless. I was going to buy his other app neurolist until I found out I paid for RoutineFlow for no reason at all. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

I downloaded RoutineFlow thinking it was gonna help me be productive. You have to pay for everything. Even for the notification telling you it’s time for you to move on to the next step which is stupid. The timer also does not work at all. It just keeps counting. No warning telling you to get ready for the next step or anything. It stays on one activity and keeps counting the time so the entire thing just becomes pointless. RoutineFlow is supposed to help you more be on time and productive. How is it gonna do that when it can’t even automatically move on to the next step when the timer is done. ROUTINERY IS SO MUCH BETTER you can make multiple schedules w premium and only one schedule w free account but at least the basic functionalities are free on that app!

At first, it feels like it’s going to work. The planning is important. But then after you’ve got it set up, you find yourself overwhelmed every time you open it and see all the categories of things you’re supposed to do that day. All the routines. Well, anyway, that’s been the case for me. I think most of the people who benefit from this type of app really need the least amount of overwhelm possible. While RoutineFlow solves it inside of a routine, it doesn’t solve it when you’re selecting a routine.

Updated to 3 based upon responsiveness of the developer. Still buggy but there’s potential.

After today’s update I’m automatically logged out and prompted to login. I tried forgot login but don’t get the promised email. It also isn’t saved to my passwords. Did we even have a login? I have (or had) an account under settings but no email. I paid the annual fee for something I can’t use. If we didn’t have an email login, when first creating RoutineFlow , how will I ever get linked back to my account since I can no longer access my account number? OK, so I figured out how to back in to my account. But it was a very poor user experience. I had to go through the whole new user routine and create another routine, (which is a pain in the neck long navigation). I was again asked if I wanted to subscribe. Was able to recover my account, I think?? There was some prompt to recover my account. (Unclear instructions) After, on the account page where my account number was, was now a button telling me to create an account to share my routines across devices. This again was not clear instruction. The two routines that I had taken so much time creating and refining were morning routines. They are gone. The one I created to get back in was a study routine. I selected something other than morning routine on I would not over right my other routines. Very poor user experience. Especially for someone who has ADHD.

RoutineFlow is simplistic. Happy to finally have an app not drag me through 20 initiation steps at first use of app. Very simplistic-could be a positive or negative based on personal taste. Didn’t appreciate the sneaky placement of more than one upgrade option-people don’t want to be tricked into paying for premium by strategic marketing/business practices. To end on a high note, I would rate the FAQ section near the top of any that I’ve seen, it actually addressed questions people ask with very direct answers. Hope this review provides some insight for your app growth-well wishes!

Honestly, I loved how I was able to download RoutineFlow , create a routine and use it and see how it is, fully fleshed out and then decide if I want to use the pro. I dont know why, but it seemed like a no-brainer one lifetime purchase because the way the routines are set up and that TIME estimate that updates with ease and with every little change I make is amazingggg for my focus and ADHD. I just knew I was going to use it a lot.

Well I just started with this Procrastination App. I need all the help I can get. I’m all over the place everyday of my life. It gets very frustrating when I’m just doing one task because it doesn’t take much to veer off course. Then it takes me forever just to get started again. Now I’m back to waiting until the last minute. Which makes me start rushing around trying to get things accomplished. So yes I’m really hoping this works for me my fingers are crossed that this really helps me. It seems like it’s going to be a pretty cool app. I’ll check back in after I have worked with RoutineFlow for a little more time.

Hey Thomas! I like your app and I think you’ve got some areas in RoutineFlow that you can really grow. Just as an example, in the beginning, where a person has to choose what they want to use your app for, RoutineFlow only allows a person to choose one reason. That was hard for me because there were 2 areas that I 100% could have chosen. Maybe there could be some follow-up questions to help guide a person to the right area? I’m not sure if I explained that correctly but hopefully it makes sense.
Thanks, Michelle

This is more of a suggestion than a review but I love RoutineFlow, it works wonders! RoutineFlow allows you to be very flexible when it comes to building routines and staying determined. There’s lots of cool features that allows for the smoothest experience. This is also very good for people with ADHD or other struggles that limit their daily productivity and routines. I do have one tiny small suggestion: I would appreciate if RoutineFlow was more updated with the recent emojis! When you are setting up a daily task in your routine, you are allowed to pick an emoji that syncs with that task but the option of emojis is limited and I noticed there’s a few emojis missing when I try finding it to match my task. I realized the more- newer emojis aren’t displayed yet. I’m sure this will be worked on and like I said, it’s not a major suggestion but it would be nice! 👍

Would like to support the developer, but $50 per year is too much. Would consider purchasing it one time. Developers also should consider that not everyone can spend $300 or more per month for having multiple apps, no matter how good they are. I hate apple for starting this all at first place.

RoutineFlow is beautiful designed and simple to use. Routines are helpful for me as a person with ADHD, but it can be hard to keep (or even start) them. I love that you can set up your own routines or use theirs, and that tasks and routines can have set duration times (or not). I mostly use it for a morning routine so far, but even that has had a great effect on my day. I also like the procrastination guide. RoutineFlow really takes the idea of breaking things down into smaller steps into something that I find very useful. Thanks to the developers/designers!

Having an external source telling me what to do instead of my own brain initiating a task has been a game changer. Love the digital time and the progress bar in one space to visually see time passing. Easy to use! One suggestion would be to allow users to select multiple items when creating a routine instead of selecting one task entering it into the routine and then having add another individually

RoutineFlow is a great way to build routines. I find using RoutineFlow really helps me start and end my days well. I actually have found another use by building one off routines for my day. It keeps me productive. I appreciate the option to purchase RoutineFlow at an affordable price point! Highly recommend. Thanks!

This is just the kind of app one needs if they’re trying to become a bit more systematic in life. If you’ve felt drowsy in the day, sleepless during the night or keep reminding yourself to do certain things that are good for you, RoutineFlow is the way to go and achieve that. Very excited about RoutineFlow.@Dev, I hope you keep updating RoutineFlow because this is an amazing product.

I would love Apple Watch integration so I can complete each step with the watch…

Would also like to push ability delay it one step- right now you can only push to the end of the entire routine.

But great app and I use it daily!!

Awesome app, just what I needed. This was literally the only app I could find that wasn’t too fancy. It’s also very cheap and I definitely will be purchasing the lifetime purchase soon! Some things, more color choices, more aesthetics, and that aren’t emojis. Like make you own icons to add something unique to RoutineFlow . Very good app and very helpful!

I would love to see this work natively for iPad as well because I often open this on my iPad mini and it's a little weird I have to always have it in portrait mode with a case that has a kickstand that only works in landscape but that is a minor gripe. At its core, This is the best functioning routine app I have found, and I literally tried all of them.

You rock, Thomas. Thank you for making such a great app. It’s elegant and effective. I don’t think I have ADHD, but this is a fantastic tool for me so far. I know this may sound crazy, but if RoutineFlow were able to ask things like “How are you managing your routines?” And have suggestions to specific ways one might be struggling, it’d be beyond amazing. Something to think about :)

First off, thank you for offering a lifetime purchase, simply fantastic as I can’t afford to pay subs for dozens of apps.

I really like the idea of this and I hope it will help regulate my ADHD. I LOVE that RoutineFlow isn’t over designed and bloated with a ton of buttons, sub menus, extra fluff that is hard to figure out and navigate as an easily distracted person, lol. I’ve tried apps like Stoic and Finch, and the amount of content they have always confused and pushed me away. So thank you for designing something easy to use and understand immediately.

I hope in any future updates, RoutineFlow doesn’t become a bloated mess. Don’t fix what isn’t broke!

I had stopped using Morning Routine apps, because they were clunky and difficult to use. RoutineFlow is well designed and extremely helpful in dialing in your Morning Routine. I am a Productivity expert, and am thrilled to have found RoutineFlow! Not only for myself, but for my clients.

Your searches over… You found the right app for a dialed morning.

Love RoutineFlow dude, you did an awesome job! One thing I want to suggest is switching the play/start button and the complete buttons when in the middle of a task. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to pause a session and I end up hitting the complete button instead. I’d recommend putting the play/start button in the middle and moving the complete button off to the left or right.

Been using it for a few days and it’s already helped so much with my ADD and procrastination. It seems so simple yet so effective. The time-blocking ability is so helpful and the timers and reminders help keep me focused. Even after just a few days I’m finding I’m reminded to to tasks that I’d normally skip. Haven’t had any issues with glitches at all. I upgraded my account pretty quickly to lock in the lifetime rate! Highly recommend!

Ok so I’ve had problems keeping a nighttime routine since I was a kid (adhd + tired = very eepy no sleepy) and lemme tell ya RoutineFlow does somethin good. It’s easy. Works with the brain. Great stuff.
Only issue is that since I updated v1.8.4 today afternoon RoutineFlow crashes immediately after I open it (hence the tech support request inside the review). I have an iPhone 6. Pls update so I can continue staying slightly more sane than I was before RoutineFlow thank u in advance

This has been a game-changer for my ability to keep track of steps, stay focused, and have realistic time expectations for my morning and evening routines! It would be super cool if there was an ability to see data on a web browser and/or export it to a spreadsheet format in order to analyze more concretely, but RoutineFlow already works super well to help me stay on task. Well worth the money!

RoutineFlow is what I’ve been searching for. I’m finally able to visualize my routines in a time based context. It would be nice to be able to edit the log of how long something actually took if I set my phone down sometimes I can forget to pause the routine and I want the data to be accurate. A longer/larger calendar tab may be helpful for routines that happen less often. Overall RoutineFlow is life changing and worth the purchase. Thank you!!

I’ve been using this for 30 days and it has truly changed my life! At the end of 2022 I was at a breaking point and absolutely pushing so many tasks “under the rug”. This has given me the motivation and accountability I need to get things done. It’s so simple but being able to see my progress and the number of days I’ve accomplished certain tasks has given me confidence in what I’m doing. It has helped me stay on top of business, personal, and household tasks. Forever grateful for routine flow!

I have been using routinery for quite a while until I found RoutineFlow love everything about RoutineFlow. I love everything about RoutineFlow. The simplicity and the functionality, but I wish there were options to add subtasks and notes to each tasks. Also, an Apple Watch companion app would have been great which would reduce me the hassle of bringing the phone everywhere, like for when I have a jogging task in the morning and grocery shopping right after.

[I’ve taken my time, only putting in a few simple routines to try it out to see how it would work. The last update deleted my first two routines. This last update restored them but deleted my two new ones I input. Maybe we can get a handle on that. 😅]
I’m really excited to be one of the first users of RoutineFlow before it blows up. It’s very close to something I wanted to build a couple years ago, but I’m not really a programmer and got stuck—it was just too much for me at the time. I’m absolutely stoked that someone else has done it, and if the writer ever looks for a team I would love to be on it.

i get overwhelmed with big tasks sometiems and this has made it motivating and easy for me to use it in the morning or when i feel like i have nothing to do. great way to not only track habits but come up with a routine that works for you! To the the wonderful staff working on RoutineFlow: a couple suggestions would be to change the subtask for each habit/task to be actually called subtasks instead of Ai Support, to have a better ipad version if possible, maybe a bigger widget for both iphone and ipad and google calendar integration?? anyway even now it’s great. Super affordable too! try the monthly subscription and see how you like it. great app, glad i found it :)
