What gives with the downgraded widget?
I’ve been using Done since May 2020 and while I love it as a habit tracker, the old widget is what kept me consistent. It seems like not too long after iOS introduced embedded widgets on home pages, the new widget has become useless; I kept waiting to see if an upgrade would bring the old one back, but nope. It used to only be available on the far left widget page, which I didn’t mind scrolling to bc it was visually and functionally just like the actual app. I used to be able to expand the widget to see all 15 of my habits/chores and I could press the number on the far right to log that habit as done - just as you would on the app. Now, you can only see the progress of either 1 or 4 habits with zero interactive capabilities - clicking on the widget just opens the app. Part of what made tracking with Done so effective for me was how frictionless it was to access bc that far left widget page is also one swipe away from the lock screen. Ever since this change, I don’t use it as nearly as much and rarely find myself in the mood to log my habits retroactively.
Please bring the old widget back! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great but…
I’ve tried lots of habit trackers. This one is amongst the best. Amazingly most don’t allow you to have a habit over a year with a numerical count (ie read 12 books a year), such a small and obvious thing to include. Two things that do need addressing
1. Adverts for their other apps when you’ve paid for this one is not acceptable. No one wants to pay and get ads.
2. The short term special offer got me on board but given there’s no life time option, I will be hunting for an alternative until that runs out. The functionality is too simple to copy to justify that payment model.

Goes good
Simple, but with as much customisation as you want. I stopped searching for daily goals apps now and landed on this one happily
Mini rant about an decent product with poor premium experience
I’ve been using the premium version of this app every day or so for the last few months to track habits and goals, especially since I’m under going diagnosis for ADHD. It’s nice to see the streaks and monitor my consistency - And the app gets the job done. But today, I had to write an email to the support team because every. single. time. I open the app, I get an ad for their “bundle”. Why am I getting targeted to buy their apps when I already paid for one of their apps?! It doesn’t make sense!! It’s not encouraging customer loyalty!! It’s not keeping in mind user experience!! It’s taking advantage of a customers willingness to pay for something with trust that they will be getting what they paid for!! This app is not special. I don’t need it. The marketing and app development teams need to remember that in order to sell more premium subscriptions, the product and experience need to live up to what it is marketed as! I feel like this is fundamental!

Horrible app and impossibly difficult to use
The app is horrible, and impossible to use because there are virtually zero instructions. When you first try and make a habit there is no indication of what parts are incomplete, it just refuses to let you save until you fill in all the required information. So after you struggle through the creation of the habit it then doesn’t even tell you how to log the habit. There are zero instructions whatsoever throughout the entire application, you just have to struggle and figure it out through trial and error which makes the user experience horrific. On the surface book likes looks like a very clear and easy to use minimalistic design however that is all a lie because the minimalism comes with zero instructions. Overall I do not recommend and suggest using one of the competing app switcher virtually the same but with my experience actually have instructions on how to use it for once

Extremely annoying upgrade modals
Used to really enjoy this app and its simplicity but recently started using it again and would get an “upgrade to premium for a discounted price” modal every time I cold started the app. This was incredibly annoying and completely antithetical to how simple the interface is otherwise since I had to close it with the tiny x button every single time. I finally relented since I wanted to add more habits than the standard version allowed, and they charged my card the full (and absurd) $60 instead of the promised $10. To add to that, I *still* get infuriating modals every time I open the app telling me to upgrade *yet again* to the Growth bundle. I now have to talk to customer service to get refunded the difference and the app remains not worth using regardless because I get this modal every single time. Devs/leadership telling the devs what to do, please don’t make your users close this modal more than once. It’s obnoxious, intrusive, and has lost you at least one user.

Love this app
I absolutely love this app, between this and reading atomic habits by James clear, I’ve really been able to build some great habits. Not sure I’ll be able to afford it once the trial ends but the app is great
App no longer working
I purchased the upgrade several years ago and have been using this app religiously. Simple, straightforward, exactly what I needed. I was happy to find I could also add this app to my Apple Watch, but realized this past week that the app was no longer syncing. So, I updated my watch, uninstalled then reinstalled the app to the watch, updated the app on my phone, removed the app from my phone and reinstalled (which deleted years of data that wasn't recovered when I reinstalled the app), restarted phone, restarted Apple Watch, tried to restore data from backup, quit app restarted phone and app again. Now it appears that the app not only doesn’t work on my watch, but also doesn’t work on my phone. In addition, after the update on my phone I was forced to do a trial subscription which I have no interest in, so immediately canceled the subscription. All I see is a blank screen when I open the app. Really disappointed, this app has been a staple for me for years but if they have moved to a subscription model, I will figure out another way to track my habits.

PLEASE bring back the old widget
I used to love this app because it was so easy to use as a widget, but now it only displays 4 of my 7 habits and will not let me mark anything as done without opening the app. The smallest widget looks like you can click it to check off that you've done something, but it just goes into the app. I might not mind if it would quit giving me a popup every time it launches telling me that a premium offer "just for me" "expires" in 20 hours or 10 hours, etc.
I appreciated the ease of use but now I've gone twice without opening it at all, for a month each time, because of the hassle. I've used this app for over a year and I don't know whether to figure out how to transfer all my data or just deal with how it's become. If anything I talked about changes, I'll edit my review, but I honestly can't give it more than one star as it is now compared to before.

Was better before the update
UPDATE: Data corrupted!! After updating to the latest version I lost a bunch of entries and now my 75 days streak is broken up into smaller stretches. I was a yearly subscriber but I will now be uninstalling the app. Huge disappointment.
With the recent update, the interface is a tiny bit sleeker but it's become extremely laggy at times (I have a recent phone). Some functionality such as removing a habit doesn't seem to work at all. For a product with a recurrent pricing model, I was expecting the product to get better over time -- not worse. Another complaint I have is about privacy. The app itself can be locked with a passcode. However, it seems that the app pushes hints to Siri, so sometimes you will see "add one count to habit X" on your home screen. It's not something I opted in either. I generally don't leave reviews but as I have been using this app daily for several years, I sincerely hope the developper can fix these issues.
