I’m using iCloud and I’m not against it, but the latest 7.5.x changes (I’m on 7.5.6 right now) seems to have broke automatic syncing on the Apple Watch. Normally my day starts at 7am as indicated in the app settings, so meaning my list of streaks reset at 7. This works fine on the iPhone, and it used to work well on the watch too. But of late, the watch will still show streaks from the day before even after 7am (my reset), and even if I kept the watch app running in the foreground, it doesn’t seem to know that it’s a “new day”. Background sync to the watch also seems finicky. If I complete a task on my phone, the watch doesn’t get that update as quickly as before (when Bluetooth was used). Is there some background sync setting I’m missing? I’m all for improving the sync to make the app more scalable across platforms, but if it breaks the watch functionality then that’s a large regression IMO.

Update for 7.5.8:
Watch now syncs, but it’s manual, I have to launch the watch app manually for it to realize something has changed. This is particularly grating because I have my complication on my watch face that’s perpetually “all blanked out” the whole day unless I launch the app and have it update. Why can’t the app refresh in the background anymore? When I launch the app manually there’s that spinner interface which suggests the app was dead.

I bought this app based on a rave review so I have the ‘pro’ version. While it is easy to get started for basic habit tracking, I remembered reading that it could be used like a Pomodoro task master which is what I now want it for because the existing ones are either too involved ‘to do’ type apps or simplistic timers. It took quite a while to wade through how to create tasks with adequate specificity because it takes numerous passes through editing a task because all the options are not present when you first set up a habit; you create a default habit and then edit the heck out of it to get to a scheduled habit of specific length with notification reminders. It also has weird language like when it specifies the number of times a day you want to perform a habit; instead of phrasing it that way, it says “number of days” when what it means is number of times during your specified time period (day, week, month), yet the previous three options are phrased correctly. I am pretty tech savvy and it took quite a bit of playing around with the app to figure things out, even with the help section. I guess I like words more than icons (hieroglyphics as we used to call them). This app could definitely benefit by on app instructions.

I've been looking for a good habit tracker for a while. Most of them out there are either setup as a to-do task manager or a basic timer. In fact, I used to use the Things 3 app not only for my daily tasks, but also for my habits. I was really glad when I came across this, and even went far enough as to buy the bundle (streaks and workout app). The workout app needs improvement too, but that's what this review is about.
Overall, this app seems to be working great. There's a bit of a learning curve to it, and I still don't understand why you're only allowed two pages, but overall it's pretty good. My problem with it is that sometimes when I try to delete a task (which the delete button is in a super weird place), the task pops back up numerous times in the coming days post-deletion. I delete the task, and the next day it's back and in my face. This has been happening since I've gotten the app. There's also a glitch in where when I hold down the task for completion, the icon does the little circular motion to display the button being pressed, but after the animation, it does nothing. It works usually, but sometimes it glitches out and doesn't complete the task when I tell it to.
