Garbage App
Every username I put its taken..... I even keyboard slammed and even that's taken.
can't even sign up
i really want to try this app out, but it won't let me sign up: every single username i've tried wouldn't work due to supposedly already being in use. but i also tried using a random generator and it said the same thing for the randomly generated series of letters & numbers. i don't know what's going on with that, but please fix it so i can actually try out your app

Apologies, this was due to an error on our backend, and it's fixed now!
This is the one
By far the most advanced habit tracker, and I’ve found that having a Home Screen widget showing my habits that can launch apps has been game changing. Highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy to hear it's working for you.
Overpromised and under delivered
I paid for the annual subscription, but that was a mistake. Marketed as transformative to how you use your phone. Ended up being a somewhat useful habit tracking app. The best thing for me was the integrations and fallbacks, but the development sorta just stagnated, the effectiveness dropped once the honeymoon phase was over. :(

Hi Will, we've just released our biggest update yet that we've been working on over the last months. If you're still not satisfied, you can always email us at team@potential.app and we'll issue you a refund!
4.99/mo subscription out the gate?
No, I don’t want to immediately sign up for a subscription without even trying the app first. Prompt me in 7 or 14 days but putting up the paywall (even with a trial, which I have to then immediately cancel from Settings) is a barrier that I’m not sold on because, well, I haven’t even tried the app yet. Especially annoying that I had to create an account first - again, all without being able to use the app yet.
Also, 4.99/mo when Streaks (also with automatic integrations) is 4.99 single purchase, isn’t appealing in this space. I gladly spend $200+/yr in annual subscriptions (and single purchases) on premium software products, but this app needs to demonstrate its value proposition before asking for money upfront.
The appropriate sequence should be:
1. Show the intro screens then a tutorial of the app
2. Allow the user to use the app for 7-14 days
3. At some point, ask to create an account to sync data or use the social features (or naturally, when the user tries to use a feature that requires an account)
4. Paywall when the trial is up
Happy to try again when the onboarding for this app gets fixed.
I could have tried the app in the time it took to write this review, but it’s really the principle of CX that bothered me enough not to.

Unusable
The app is too buggy to use. The habits reappear each day on the days/times when the habit was initially created rather than according its edited schedule. The view doesn’t update each day to the current date—I have to navigate to today in order to see todays habits, which causes me to check off habits on the wrong days. I don’t like that each “schedule” is a tab rather than a group on the same screen in a running list. Today’s habits should all be on a page together and schedules show/hide based on their specified time frame so that I can see my scheduled habits in context with my unscheduled dailies. Otherwise I do the schedule but then miss my dailies because the list is never shown.

Thanks for the feedback! Many great points here. The bug you mention is fixed in an upcoming release, and a revamped today screen is in the works that works exactly as you describe.
Cool idea, but needs work
I tried this app out to see if it could outdo my current habit tracker. I alike the idea of combining intentions with integrations. The UI is also nice. Where it fell short was in its lack of granularity. For instance, some habits I want to do the same time every morning, seven days a week. But other habits I want to do Mondays and Tuesdays at different times on both days. I was also unable to create a mileage minimum for a running habit - it’s currently only in kilometers and whole number values at that.
This is an app I’ll definitely continue to follow, but for now, I’ll stick with a habit app that gives me the granularity at a cheaper cost.

Hi! Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! We will make sure to add miles and fractions for auto-completions straight away (will be shipped later this week). We’ll also look into possible designs for more detailed scheduling. Stay intentional, Potential team
