Great for tracking and accountability

After trying a number of habit tracking apps (and becoming very frustrated with unnecessary complexity, long and unintuitive set ups and the like) I chanced upon Strides and, given the fab reviews, decided to give it a go. I havenโ€™t looked back since! The tracking is addictive - in a good way - and the reminders mean I have no excuse and keep me accountable throughout the day. I thoroughly recommend it!

A seriously powerful app

I started using this app only 5 days ago, but itโ€™s already making huge differences in my life. I feel that, because of this app, I can really start achieving the goals Iโ€™ve been wanting to achieve. This might sound gross, but Iโ€™ve always struggled to make sure to brush and floss my teeth twice a day. Since using this app, I havenโ€™t missed it once. Iโ€™ve started getting back into reading by setting a daily goal of reading an hour a day. Iโ€™ve made sure to be working out at least 5 days a week because of this app. Iโ€™ve started journaling at the end of each day because of this app. Iโ€™ve set weight goals for myself that Iโ€™m tracking, and it even gives a projection for my weight by my goal date based on how much progress Iโ€™m making so far.

The app is basically just a daily to-do list, and that may sound super simple, but itโ€™s so powerful. I feel accomplished completing my goals each day, and the app encourages me to stick with it and achieve more. Thanks to Strides, Iโ€™m able to form the habits Iโ€™ve been wanting to form, and break my goals up into pieces each day, which makes them much easier to achieve. I really just want to say thank you to the developers for helping me better myself and better my life. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to do the same.

Fantastic app!

LOVING Strides! Itโ€™s really helping me to get better control of my diabetes, among other goals. It keeps me much more aware of where Iโ€™m at. Thank you so much for creating it! Fab app!

Sleek, Simple Strides

So I downloaded several different apps of this type of goal-tracker app. I was able to quickly narrow it down to this and one other by virtue of how easy it is to add custom goals and track them. Over the coarse of a month this one has become by far my favorite. It allows me to customize what, how many, how often,and track with an easy swipe left or right. It gives me reminders but doesn't annoy me. I can easily go back to log days I've done (or not) but haven't logged and I can see at a glance whether I'm improving the frequency of my goals. This has quickly become one of my most frequently used apps! Highly recommend for all ages of goal-setters and (hopefully) accompish-ers!
Update: Iโ€™ve been using this for about six months now and still think this is by far the best goal-tracker app. I love the personalized goals and being able to look back over the months and see how Iโ€™m improving long-term. Iโ€™m slowly adding goals and know this app is what is keeping me focused!

Brings future consequences forward.

Love this app - and Tempe developer response. 24 hrs after reporting a bug they fixed it. Yay! So I'm updating this review.

I've been using it for a long time. Just keeping track of something brings awareness and shifts it in the desired direction. When there are multiple habits needed to make a change (health, creative projects) it gets more complicated. This app does the job simply. And I like simple.

I've gotten my nightly average of sleep up to 7 hours. My meditation practice is on track. Some of the creative projects that I track have gone a little off course. Yet I know that this app will help me get them back on track.

Making strides!

I tried out a few apps and found myself drawn to strides each time.

This app makes it simple and easy to track and log performance in a range of formats for different kinds of tasks.

Itโ€™s also useful for planning and breaking down large tasks over a period of time, and communicating progress with clear graphics, giving you a full picture of how youโ€™re doing.

After just three weeks I am already forming better habits and can see improvements. I am able to plan and manage my time to better, particularly with task based goals. I look forward to seeing more planning tools built into the app but equally only where there is demand - above all the power and longevity in this app is its simple and coherent interface.

Thank you for creating it for us!

Well Designed and Intuitive

I am one of the apps free users. This is a well designed and intuitive goal tracking app. Very simple to use but with nice customizations. I had used it for a few months this spring, and was really building some great new habits, when I fell out of use for unrelated reasons. I jumped back into the app this fall and am truly amazed about how the awareness and mindfulness of regular goal tracking motivates me to move towards my goals.

I really am puzzled by how quickly I started flossing, getting up earlier, and reading more books once I started using the app again which were goals that didnโ€™t change between spring and summer.

I currently track 9 goals, and am allowed 10 total free. I enter my progress in the morning and evenings for my daily goals and weekly goals. My longer term goals I enter an update when there is something related to them. I like the way they present my progress. Thanks Strides Team!

The best habit tracking app

Strides is fantastic. It is, without a doubt, the best one out there. It's beautifully designed and the trackers are well thought out. Itโ€™s so much more than just a simple habit app. Love it.

Great app to develop habits

Have been using this for a week now and have created a long term goal and daily routines. Great & east interface to setup. Notifications are nice to. Gave only 4 stars as I felt its expensive to get the subscription.

Guessing at entries and duplicating entries

Hi again,

Updating this to 5 stars as was partially user error ( I had previous log enabled) and partially a new bug Kyle was very happy to look into and help with.

My logging worked as good as ever so5 stars. Great app to easily and efficiently track key life metrics

Hi,

I have been using the app for several months now and think it is really great.

In the past few weeks there have been a few glitches listed below I can't seem to resolve that are increasing over time to the point I am close to finding a new app
- sometimes the app seems to guess at the number of miles I have run in a day for example which is annoying
- when I change this I end up with 2 entries in my history log (I can turn 1 entry to 0 but can not seem to delete the entry all together) and sometimes it sticks with multiple entries for day. Even when I turn to zero a positive number comes back
- if that happens more than once a day I end up with a few entries in a day which makes it frustrating when reviewing history

Again great app and I would appreciate any insights on ways to fix these glitches .

Thank you,
