STOP THE PRESSES… this app was going to change my life, but I can only have a max of three habits?! At the $100/yr pro level!?! I’m HEARTBROKEN! We gotta figure this out friends because your ADHD girl needs help with basic habits—not just something I wanna “add to my routine” for funsies—I’m trying to start a healthy routine of many, many habits!! 😭💔
Original Review:
PROS: I’ve only been using this app for two days (it just launched), but I can already tell it’s going to be a game changer in my life! Unlike other “productivity apps”, I can feel the science and teachings of Atomic Habits behind this. I can already feel it working. As a person with ADHD, the accountability partner area is genius! It gives a continuous “body doubling” aspect to the app to keep me motivated and connected with friends who also struggle with habits/getting things done!
CONS/THOUGHTS: I know the app just launched, and it’s early days… but I’d love to see the widget enhanced. I wish we could give our habits a “shortcut name” to maybe fit better in the widget area? Right now I only have two habits, but I know I’ll be adding others. I’m hoping all of my habits will fit/display.
Developer Response
We are launching an update soon with more habits!If you have read James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, were inspired by what you read but were unable to turn the books insights into practice…have I got the app for you! Enter Clear’s new app, Atoms. I have been using the app, since in launched in beta, and I LOVE it! It’s really helped me: 1. Clearly define my goal & 2. Keep at it. I also love the “Mindset” section of the app filled with great advice from the book. I’ve just been invited to add a second goal and this morning I got cheerful reminder not to forget to do it…w/out the app I would have totally forgotten. :) I’m genuinely grateful to James & his team for developing this app. I’ve loved Atomic Habits & Jame’s weekly emails - but felt too overwhelmed to actually BEGIN the process of setting a goals and sticking to them. Atoms is just what I needed to turn inspiration into solid action!! Thank you so much for creating this app. I think it has the potential to do so much good!
Just downloaded the app yesterday so I am in the early stages of using and getting used to the features but can see this will be a great tool for implementing micro-shifts into daily / weekly habits.
My first few habits are small and simple and I know they can lead to very positive change. Thank you and looking forward to updates as I’m sure it will be an iterative app as the countless users will get digging around giving their creative and brilliant feedback.
This is cool, anyone who has read the book and tried its teachings knows that it’s effective yet hard to keep going. This app is a nice 2 minutes a day of good Atomic Habits energy and tracking. Way more effective than trying to remember to read his newsletter email.
I just can’t believe the price. It’s insane. On a monthly basis it’s as much as Disney+ or Netflix. These are multi-billion dollar businesses and they spend millions on content each year. Is Atoms going to spend millions on content?
It’s should have been like $2-$3/month and they’d gave waaaaaay more people signing up for pro. Honestly, even if someone feels like the book changed their life so they feel obligated to pay the upfront $120 for the full year, there’s no way they resign up next year, and the whole year they can’t believe they paid that much.
It’s so exciting to have an app to support the endless wisdom and practical tips from James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. Reading the book helped me form new habits and break some old ones that weren’t serving me, but I have long wanted to do better at tracking to see my progress. I’m not great with putting pen to paper consistently so being able to do this on my phone is ideal and so exciting! The app looks great visually, is easy to use, and has lots of great content I look forward to continuing to dive into. Thank you James and all!
I was waiting for this app for a long time. I love the layout - is clean and there are no distractions. From the moment I read the book I dreamed of an app to go with it. I waited for his weekly emails with the amazing quotes and habit forming tips. Adding habits to tackle in the app is pretty straightforward- I like that you are being guided step by step to make the SMART habits. I’m still getting to know the app so, I’ll write a new review in a few weeks! But I love how this is going so far.
Devs, you killed it 💪🏻 This app is really tight, beautiful, and operates smoothly. I love all the little details and micro-interactions. I love the way you make the concepts of the book real for me. And I love the way you’ve structured everything to to serve the vision of helping folks get 1% better (even the pricing model HEAVILY incentivizes folks to commit to this thing for at least 1 year). Also, I feel like folks genuinely don’t appreciate how time consuming and expensive it is to build a world-class application. You guys are doing great - don’t stop!!!
I deeply enjoy James Clear Thursday’s emails. His emails are one of the few, among the hundreds of mails I receive daily, that I don’t delete right away. His 1,2,3 gives always concrete insights. His book has helped me, I bet this app will be an extraordinary tool to put into practice the useful methodology he gives in his book. It will launch me even higher. Awesome job James 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻thanks for bringing this to help thousands of people… all kinds of people… the ones that are super structured and those who lack structure completely. Thanks again!
I currently have this book that I read in the past, which helped me change my mindset and lose weight 2 years ago, but after reaching my goal, I became ill and depressed and lost sight of my progress. As a result, I fell back into old habits and regained all the weight. Although the book is still on my bookshelf, I often forget to pick it up and read it as I get busy with life and work. However, I was thrilled to discover an email today that said this app was available. I love the mindset tool feature and plan to continue using the app beyond the trial period.
Huge Fan! This subject, the way he writes, hits on every level. I’ve read the book, listened to several podcasts, sourced it on MasterMinds, subscribed to 3-2-1, and have bought more than 10 hard copies for friends and colleagues. Simple and Powerful messaging for so many different applications. Looking to share with a large section of my current companies workforce to drive results 1% at a time. (IYKYK) Couldn’t be more excited for this app.
