It keeps greeting better

I’ve used Strides for years and it keeps getting better. So easy to use with with shortcuts you can automate things like tracking exercise from the Health App. Thanks so much for a great app 🙏🏼

I use it everyday

A great way to monitor your habits a know what you doing. Having a record of what you have done can motivate you to go longer.

Not easy to use

I downloaded the app with the purpose of tracking numerous daily, weekly, monthly and annual objectives for my business. While I understand the steps to achieving goals, what I don’t understand is how to customize them with this app. For example, I want to set a goal for monthly revenue of $500,000. I want to see by the day how close my team is, by entering a figure that I receive from a daily report. I can’t figure out how to do that. Another example, I have a goal for my team to make 10 introduction calls a day. That’s 50 calls per week. I get a report, but want to log those numbers into the app myself daily, and know their progress. I’m sure this can be done. But it’s not that easy to understand how. I downloaded the “Upgrade” for 7 days with the intent to purchase the “Lifetime Subscription” and once I understand it, roll it out to my management team. The tutorials are great motivation. It would have been helpful to have some simple step by step instructions.

Going well so far

I downloaded about 5 different goal tracking apps to try and this is the only one I’ve really enjoyed. The interface is simple and easy to interact with. Others were to complicated or gamified things too much. This allows me to add to my totals throughout the day and to track multiple goals across different time frames. I’ve been using the free version for about a week. The paid version is a bit higher than I wanted to spend, but I will likely get it if I keep up usage. The free version limits the number of goals you can track and now that I’m doing it I keep thinking of new things I want to track or have daily reminders of.

Great Potential - Not What it Could be

Guys, this app has fantastic potential but really isn’t delivering. The Calendar function is bugged (won’t open and crashes app in latest IOS version) and the notifications system is also very clunky. Also, the features available on the free version are very underwhelming. It seems you’re relying on people downloading the app thinking that the free version is useful, then they get so far into setting up their goals to realise it’s pretty useless without the subscription so they succumb to the payment as they think they’ve “already done the work” as such… If the product was good (which it has the potential to be), you wouldn’t need to rely on this tactic and you could be more forward and transparent with the cost of the subscription…

Thanks for reaching out! Sorry about that. I’d be happy to help fix this for you. Please reach out through the Help Center > Contact Us > Bug Report in the app so I can help out. Thanks for your patience, and have a great day!

Absolutely beautiful, but no API to automate tracking

The data visualizations are beautiful and it would be a lovely place to visualize data from a variety of habits and goals. Sadly, there is no API and no integration with any services like IFTTT or Zapier. As a result, you can only really track a few things before the friction of manual data entry is just too much to be sustainable. If you only want to track a few things and you’re fine with doing that manually, then I think this is probably a great app for you. If you want to seamlessly and automatically track many different things, it’s probably worth finding something else. I found the friction of manual data entry to be too high a price for the visualizations, and moved to something else. In the end, the beautiful visualizations weren’t of any use to me if the friction of the data entry was such that I wasn’t entering any data to visualize…

Thanks for reaching out! I really appreciate the feedback. I’ll be sure to think through it. Feel free to reach out through the Help Center > Contact Us > Feature Request so you can add it to the forum and vote on other features. Best of luck with all your goals & habits!

I love this app

Every time that I think of something that I’d like it to do, I find that it already does it. When I thought of something minor I’d like it to do that it doesn’t, I found the a feature suggestions page and it was easy to both suggest features and vote for things that I didn’t even know that I needed. I especially love that I can customize each different habit. I run my life via habits and this covers them all It’s well worth the subscription, but even the free version allows you three habits, I think, and three habits is enough to change your life. I got the lifetime subscription because there are a lot of habits that I want to track. I made the decision to do that after less than a week of the free trial. Plus their customer service is awesome. When I had a question about subscriptions, I emailed the feedback line and got a quick answer from the CEO that resolved my issue. I highly recommend this app. It could change your life.

Missing_Key_ Feature

The app and more specifically, a goal needs a focus timer that is triggered when a reminder is due. The timer should have a pause and also have mini timers within to sub divide study methods within one goal/ study. Say your studying a language. Set the timer for 30min vocab then another 30 for sentence practice and or another for listening or writing. So far the app has a good UI and intuitive thinking behind the build with mini help question marks next to fe@ture on/off toggles. Has a simple clean UI with a themed color and not cluttered with picture icons (that can take away someones focus or motivation) . I would also suggest not asking for a review right after setting a goal. Allow the user to work through the app within a reasonable time. I'd like to increase the star rating after support keeps in touch and implements a focus timer. Thanks

Highly recommend!

I genuinely have never written a review for an app but I definitely recommend this one. I have adhd and find it very difficult to keep up with my tasks and consistently complete them. I’ve had this for maybe a week or two and have seriously been considering purchasing a 12-month subscription. The format of the app is very clean, organized, and easy to use. There are plenty of helpful features. Although I don’t always keep up with my goals, I still find much more motivation then I used to have. I love using this for big projects, books, and workout goals. You can track your progress in many different ways. So, if you’ve got adhd like me and have had a hard time finding tracker apps, I highly recommend this one!

Invest in Thyself

Been using the app for about an week an some change now, didnt like i had to pay to add more than 3 trackers but upon thinking it through a little bit more an comparing it to other tracker apps $5-6 really isnt a bad deal. I like to think of it as another way to invest in myself -I pay for prime an netflix an all these other things monthly that don’t-really help me achieve anything but waste time so 6$/a month to track my productivity an help me stay motivated is a steal!!! Also like the widgets an that i can use it on the home screen of my apple watch - it holds me that much more accountable an is so much better than keeping a list ill barley look at or writing it on paper each an everyday….also no ads for the most part an thats a plus. An this is all coming from the free version literally about to subscribe after this review- Thank u for making this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
