Way of Life - Habit Tracker Software

Been using this app for about 3 years, and it’s now been about 2 years since I last left a review. Through steady updates, this continues to be the best habit/task tracking app out there for me. It’s simplicity, function, and charm just can’t be matched. The most recent update involves some nifty design changes so I thought I’d update my 2 year old review. I really do love the newer update! It brings so many design elements that make the app much more beautiful and modern. Buttons, journals, and charts look so much cleaner and more modern. I also love the new themes! The dark themes are more favs, but the other ones really do bring out different moods and vibes from app. With each update, the developer brings something new to the table, which just goes to show how hard working and dedicated the devs are — not only to the app, but to its users. This continues to be a quality app that I’ve used everyday for 3 years and I consider to be an essential for all iOS users. I hope the dev continues to bring us quality and keep up the good work! Every bit of praise and success this app gets is well deserved.

I find this app the best for habit forming. I bought several to test out which one I would like the best since forming a good habit is so critical to healthy living. This app has a notification on the app (red bubble with number of habits waiting to be completed that day). The notification is helpful to remind you as the day goes on and you can see the number go down. I made the mistake of having 7 habits and it grew to 10. I'm down to 3 now since I was feeling defeated when I didn't accomplish all 10. Simple habits like "make your bed in the a.m." or "take vitamins" or "exercise for 10 minutes". I was sick for a few days but I checked off that I exercised and took my vitamins and wrote a note in that box that I would have exercised and taken vitamins if I wasn't puking. Or you can hit the skip button and write a note why you had to skip. If you didn't have to skip, check the "X" and use that as an oppty to get better. It's not a negative mark on you, it's an oppty to get more green check marks and improve. Keep it simple and support and encourage yourself.

So many journaling and tracking apps out there really put some effort into their exports. Your only option here is a spreadsheet (which is good! And necessary! But not enough.) Take a look at the mood tracking app Daylio’s export, it’s a pdf, looks nice and it’s good to read over and review. Another thing, exporting habit descriptions separately! Descriptions are stuck on the app! I use them to keep track of what I mean by “yes” or “no” for the habits at any given time and so it’s important for me to save my descriptions as well, it should be an option. My only choice is to copy and paste them which isn’t so bad. Maybe what I’m asking is too much, or not that useful to other users, or not feasible. I don’t know so for that reason I’m not rating this app down. I love it so far thank you. I’ve been starting so many positive habits I started to lose track!
