I just purchased. Went to put in my first goal: earn associates degree. Excited to commit this goal that I have worked hard for to writing. App requires me to enter a start date and end date (would much rather just leave open ended). Fine, I have been working on this goal since January, and hope to complete sometime next year, not sure exactly when (depends on when classes are available). However, I cannot put in dates before today (irritating), and have to enter a completion date. I don't know when it will be completed! Maybe April? Maybe August? Very dispiriting. Instead of forcing your customer to adapt to your app, app should adapt to customer. Don't force a date on the goals. Allow customer to leave open ended if they want. Will try a different app instead. Hopefully app improves in future release. Otherwise, $7 wasted.

This app is a great idea with sub-par implementation. The biggest problem stems from the confusing way in which one must tell the program that the daily habits have been done . . . one must scroll through ALL of the habits EVERY day to check off the correct ones, but the app doesn't tell you which ones you're SUPPOSED to be doing that day. The programmers explain this by saying that you have the OPTION of doing each habit every day, which is true. But still, the only way of being reminded of what you're supposed to be doing is to exit the tracking screen completely and look into the details of EVERY SINGLE HABIT.

Another weird thing is that the icon for this app shows up with a highlighted (red-circled) "9," which doesn't change no matter what I click in the app.

One suggestion: I have some habits with the POTENTIAL of having to be done every day but may not have to be done. Examples: shipping packages for my web site and cleaning the kitchen. If I DON'T do them when they don't need to be done, it screws up the whole rating. I don't know how this would be addressed in the paradigm of the software.

Another thought: This would be a more useful program if it contained regular to-dos, as well. As it is, I now have to look in two places to find out what I'm supposed to be doing.

Overall its a great idea and smooth interface but at best the app is increasingly difficult to grasp. The things that arent due today still show up on todays list, they are even accounted for in the badge, which is kinda silly. Its sys you have more to do but you really dont. Why am I forced to pick an end date for every habit? What if I want it on going. As well as sticking habits to specific days. Below are a couple of sugesstions. I was hoping for a more drastic revision for this update but nothing came about

1) instead of habits being locked to days have another option as well to have them set every couple days, then if you complete it it's another couple of days. This would e especially good for the goals portion

2) If data is input that it is multiple times daily then have that many check marks in that day. Not one check for 3 occurances.

3) Have a way to check off your goals per day in a list view so you can see all you goals and focus on them.

4) badge should refect remaining habits for that day only, look at "habits" for this and 1)

All in all thi is a great app. It would push it to 5 stars with those changes. Good luck!
