Reviews of Routine

  • Terrible app experience

    Why does this app take 10 minutes to load and turn on? Worst iPhone experience ever.

    The desktop experience isn’t perfect but is miles better.

    And are we ever going to get an iPad version?
  • EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for

    I’m neurodivergent and in a PhD program so I regularly swing between hyperfocus/ needing to catch a random thought*/ hyper organized/unorganized. I have tried probably 10 personal knowledge management, calendar, or list apps - even paying for the premium in some - and none worked for my brain the way routine does (TickTick, timo, notion, click up, asan, Monday.com, etc). I do use it in combo with obsidian (main note-taking app on my computer), google calendar (was my main calendar, now use it to view on my ios b/c I prefer the month view widget), and outlook to-do (for phone checklists like groceries). Though this sounds chaotic, it’s better than it was and routine has filled a sweet spot for managing my work tasks, personal to-dos

    ✔️There’s a calendar

    ✔️There’s to-dos.

    ✔️There’s notes. (That use mark down, making them way more functional than any other hybrid app I’ve used that tries to add notes)

    ✔️ Easy to add your to-do items to your calendar (drag and drop feature is superior compared to other apps that do this, but I think that’s primarily on the computer)

    ✔️perfect for time blocking

    ✔️✔️✔️ capturing a random thought without stopping what you’re doing (on computer) *see star above

    I think it was developed as a computer app first, and most of the best features are there. For me, that’s okay because that’s where I do most of my work. I primarily use routine to organize my work to-dos, personal to-dos, time blocking, etc. which is what was missing from my previous work flow. I landed on a combo of google cal (my previous main calendar, and I prefer the month view widget on my phone), obsidian (main note-taking on my computer, but could be replaced by routine soon with some upcoming features they’re adding to the notes), and outlook to-do (for phone checklists like groceries). This sounds chaotic, but if you’re like me and already use a combo of apps for organization but they’re not totally meeting your needs, routine might fill the gaps as it did for me.

    The most important features for me (that makes it superior) are:

    the ease of dragging/dropping to-dos from lists to your calendar
    Superior computer app
    Intuitive, simple, and intuitive combined view of to-dos and calendar (obsessed with how there’s a to-do box under each day on the week view where your to-dos for thy day live even if they don’t have a specific time - feels like something I missed from paper calendars that I haven’t seen in online options)
    THE DASHBOARD!! hands down the best feature - once you download the computer app, you can hit ctrl + space anytime from anywhere on your computer, and type a quick note/to-do without having to navigate to the app.

    It reminds me of ticktick and timo most - but for me is better than both. Timo seems to have been made for phones, and the web app was basically non-functional. Routine seems to have been made as a computer app, so many of my favorite of features are there, but that works for me because that’s where I do most of my work scheduling, to-dos, etc. Plus the google calendar integration is way better on routine than either, and the hybridization of notes, lists, and calendar is what sets it apart.

    I’ve never written an app review before, but if you’re like me and searching endlessly for a good hybrid calendar, list, note app (and use the computer for a lot of this work), search no more.

    Tldr;

    I love it, it’s the best of many I’ve tried. The web-based is better than iOS, but still nothing like it. Best for people who 1) use google cal but are looking for an app with better lists/notes/functionality and 2) use the computer app as much or more than phone (best features are there).
  • Computer app great, phone app lacking

    Routine is great conceptually as it’s a one of a kind task, note, and calendar platform. It’s super useful to be able to utilize it across various devices and integrate platforms like Notion and Google Calendar. However, as I’ve been using the app, I find that the bugs that it has renders it useless to me on my phone. The best that I can do is create and edit notes tasks, and calendar events from my laptop and use my phone to only view them, but this is extremely annoying because if I am able to use the app on multiple devices, I should be able to use the features on multiple devices as well! When using the phone application I’ve run across issues such as tasks from a checklist duplicating, calendar events not saving, overall issues with typing and editing things which ruins it completely. I really hope that in the near future, these bugs can be improved because Routine is so fresh and it can definitely go somewhere with its features and concept.
