Timer stops if app not open

The timer stops if you don’t Lethe app open…not a great feature if you want to use your phone for other things. I wish I would have known this before all the hassle of creating routines. Not worth it.

Can I get the old app back

It’s just easier to use all your routines are in the same place less cluttered with information that makes it a lot more difficult to use. I would pay this new price for that app tbh but this app is way too cluttered to make it worth it for me.

Hi, I would love to hear some recommendations for reducing clutter in the new app! I strive to make the app intuitive and easy to use. Unfortunately new features come at a cost of "cluttering" the design. Which areas of the app need a new sleeker look to make the app appealing for You?

It’s come a long way

The developer has made huge strides in making this app reliable. I use it every morning for my 3-hour a.m. routine. It used to crash at least once every morning. It no longer does—I can’t remember the last time it crashed.
It’s a great app for setting and keeping mornings routines.
My one complaint is that during the routine, when I get a notification pop up on my phone, the timer stops if I interact with the notification at all (for example, marking a reminders task as complete). I can easily resume the timer countdown by clicking on pause/play twice. But sometimes I don’t notice the timer has stopped.
That’s the only remaining issue I have with this app. It’s honestly one of the most useful apps on my phone. Highly recommend.

Hi, thank you so much for the feedback! We're working hard on making the app as intuitive and reliable as possible. We'll look into the issues you have experienced! If the routine freezes try taping the pause button, it might restart it and you won't have to close the app. The Apple Watch app unfortunately as of now does not work for a small group of users, but it should be fixed soon. I'm sorry for the issues, and I hope it'll all be working great for you soon! Have a great day, Jacob Ruranski

Good Idea. Needs Work.

I really wanted to like it. It's exactly what I need: routines with sub habits. However, adding the time is difficult and also adding a goal for the routine will send you to a page that you can't get out of. I tried it twice and both times the only way out was to restart my computer. Sorry, but I just can't work with that.

Great concept, horrible conception

I started out with the original version of this app (same name, different icon, less features). That version has a few bugs but is far superior despite them. Since updating to this newer, fully-loaded version, my morning routine and peace has been ruined by incessant and unscheduled notifications (imagine brushing your teeth 15 minutes ago and getting a notification to brush your teeth anyways) and ringing "task completed" sounds that go off 4-to-6 times instead of the once. I've tried silencing my phone, and still the DING, DING, DING, DING persists -- usually before my task timer is even up. I thought using the Apple Watch version would help, but it can't find the routines I created on my phone. Downloading this app and purchasing the annual subscription is the worst mistake I've made in months. I'll be deleting it after I post this review and pleading with the heavens for a refund on my purchase.

Hi, I would appreciate if you would give the app another try! All of your complaints have been taken into consideration and fixed! We focused on making the app less potentially annoying and we fixed the Apple Watch app. I hope the refund was accepted and I'm sorry for your experience with my app.

Yes.

100% recommend. I use it daily and let me just say…. This app slays. The developer did a fantastic job at creating the app!

my lifeline but so buggy

i have adhd and cannot do my mornings and nights without this app! that’s why it’s so frustrating that it constantly crashes, ends the running routine when i exit the app for a sec, deletes my routines if i delete and redownload…

Hi, We love your feedback, and in fact those particular bugs should be fixed now! There have been a lot of positive changes lately and even more are coming the next couple of weeks. We would love to hear what are your thoughts! Have a great day! Jacob Ruranski

Bug

The times don’t update properly anymore. Could you please fix. For example, something lasts an two hours, it makes it out like the next task won’t start for another 4 hours. Or one task starts at 5:30am, next one also starts at 5:30am

Hi, I hope you're doing great, thank you so much for the feedback! This should be fixed now! There's been a lot of changes since you posted your review. It'd be great if you could check it out and tell us what you think! Have a great day! Jacob Ruranski

Terrible and REALLY wanted to like it

This app was incredibly INCREDIBLY difficult to use. I created a routine, added Habits, etc., but it never saved? I spent about 15 minutes trying to use it and gave up. I work in software as a product manager, so I feel that I can usually figure out software quickly. This one, not so much. I'm not going to spend more than 15 minutes trying to just create a habit, so I'm out.
