Good but not great
I’ve been using the bundle of apps for a few days and I love the look and feel and functionality of them. What is annoying is how frequently it prompts you to try to get you to upgrade to the premium. I know I’m using the free version and I know what the premium offers so I don’t need reminders almost every time I use one of the apps about the benefits of premium. It’s almost enough to make me want to delete them all.

Good app, but only if you want to pay
This app has a really good, easy to use layout and I would definitely love it... if I could have more for free. As much as I want to build up habits, I am not willing to pay £38 a year (or however much it is!) for what is essentially a to do list. You can only make 3 habits on the free app, which is quite disappointing. I don’t need that many, but three is a bit stingy in my opinion.
If you are willing to pay for premium, or only want to build/quit 1-3 habits, then I would 100% recommend! But, if you want more than that for free, I wouldn’t recommend.

was 5 stars for past few years until most recent update
I have been using Done religiously for several years now and it’s been 5 stars all the way...until they recently did something that now does not allow me to see all my goals in one view. I followed all the FAQs to troubleshoot which didn’t work and eventually sent in a support request a few days ago and never received a reply. I have been a “premium” member for all this time so it would be nice to at minimum get an automated reply that said thanks and we’re reviewing- but I didn’t even get that.
I do understand their move to the subscription model but I think that should be applied to new users, not people who already bought the app with the understanding that our purchase price was for the entire thing as a one and done deal.
Hope they fix these issues soon - I want to remain a fan.

Done with Done
I wish I could do 2 reviews - one for the app, and another for the developer. The app is great - simple, stable, easy to use, motivating. I have used it for over a year and was willing to pay its going rate (a one-time fee). I thought it was worth the low price.
Now the app has gone to a subscription model and the price has skyrocketed. To be fair, the developer has given me a period of time to upgrade to the subscription model at a good discount. But the fact is that this is a pretty simple app that doesn’t get updated very often, and rarely adds new features. Seems to me a subscription should get me a lot more than a bug fix a year and no real new features. And what I liked about Done was that it really needed no new features - it did just what I wanted and the price for that was fair.
I see that almost every similar app costs, so I will have to pay for something. But unless the app gets frequent updates or features, I won’t be paying for anything on a subscription model. Too bad - Done is a great app - but I’m done with Done.

The perfect blend of simplicity and customization
I’ve used the free version of this app several times, but I ALWAYS end up subscribing. I’ve tried a million other reminder/habit tracking/wellness apps and I keep coming back to this one. It is the best app I’ve found that allows the perfect amount of customization without being overwhelming. The interface is super user friendly, you can set as many habits as you want, you can specify if you want to build or quit the habit (the ONLY app I’ve found that does that!), and even set multiple reminders for a habit. For example, I have reminders set to drink water every two hours on weekdays but none on weekends bc I don’t want them to wake me up. My only possible suggestion would be to include even more colors for the habits for people like me who have approximately 1,000,000 habits I need to be held accountable for!

Great User Display That Could Do With an Improved User Set
I sought out and downloaded Done entirely for the way it displays the habits. I like the colorful list style display of habits. Easy to see completion of all items and streaks at a glance.
While it is by no means the power user rival of Streaks, it does have some customization in terms of frequency of tasks regarding number of times per days, week, month, or year. You can also set multiple reminders and create custom units. No way to do timer based tasks though, you’ll have to track the time outside of the app or guesstimate how long you’ve spent.
There is a dark mode, but no option to have it switch automatically. Seems like that would be a quality of life no brainer!
There is some Apple Health integration, but only for 10 or so preset tasks. Water is strangely absent.
Ultimately, I gave it one star higher than Streaks because while it lacks many of the features, I find it easier to scan and use for the most part! That said, for the rather high price of the subscription - $24 a year!!!! - compared to the fairly low flat price of Streaks, one would expect a bit more polish and integration. Like, for the level of where this app is, I would expect it to cost what Streaks does and Streaks to cost what this does!

Fantastic! But something else will bring it up a notch...
With the new IOS 14 update, Apple users are begging for 3rd party widgets to add to Home Screen! And I think that if you added this feature, ‘Done’ would become the #1 in the App Store! But overall very very happy with this app 😄
Excellent app, questionable pricing
Do NOT subscribe through Done. The prices are more expensive.
I wanted to buy this app, but it seems like the one-time purchase is no longer an option. I swear it was there a few days ago, and I read a MacRumors app recap from August 23 that mentioned the $8.99 one-time upgrade. In the Apple Store, both Done and the Growth Bundle state that the premium upgrade is available in-app. However, the only options in the app are $20/yr for the standalone app or $30/yr for the bundle. Maybe they changed their pricing scheme and haven’t updated the descriptions. However, pricing isn’t consistent across apps: the others offer the Growth Bundle subscription for $19/yr, which makes the annual subscription for Done more expensive than the entire Growth Bundle. I’m really disappointed because I wanted to support this app, but due to what seems like price gouging, I won’t.
If you must, I’d recommend subscribing through one of their other apps. And if you’d like to purchase one, not subscribe, the four apps besides Done and Tally are reasonably priced at $3 to $5. It would honestly be cheaper to buy those four for life than to subscribe for a year.

Love!! Changed my life.
A great app, very aesthetically pleasing. Definitely worth the upgrade price! It has truly transformed my life, I find so much satisfaction in adding to my little progress bar like my life is a game. It’s such a good way to be able to track my progress on certain habits and also habits I’m trying to quit. Visually being able to track them has worked so much for me as I’m a visual person. Highly recommend, would recommend to anyone trying to actively add positive habits to their life.

Done >>>> Other habit trackers
I discovered this app 15 days ago. I know this because I have tracked my vitamin-taking habit since the day I got the app and have maintained the streak since then. After spending 10 minutes with this app and then trying out alternative habit trackers (Habit—Daily Tracker, Daily Planner-Productivity, & Productive), I concluded that this app was the best of them. All of the before mentioned apps match in terms of stunning design and pleasing color arrays. None of them, however, can compete with Done’s affordability and functionality. The app makes habit tracking easy and effortless. It requires a one time payment of $8.99 (plus tax) in comparison to the other apps that require monthly payments. Although $8.99 seems unreasonable for such a simple habit tracker, it is completely worth it. This app has done everything I’ve wanted and more. It not only motivates me to complete my daily goals but also to go beyond them and make life choices that have made me healthier and overall happier. I completely recommend buying this app.
