I love it
Well, I’m having a problem. The app is not recording all my history. If I miss a day or two, then a bunch of my days disappear. This is very frustrating.
Good idea, but…
The app will not let me log an activity when I complete it. I get a message box stating “Cannot log a future date.” Tomorrow is the future, not today. When I complete a task today, I want to mark it completed as soon as it’s completed, not wait till tomorrow morning to log it.
Also, completed tasks that I have logged, randomly disappear from the calendar. For two of my tasks, the dashboard shows that I have x number of days that the task has been completed, but the calendar is blank.
I like the idea, but the glitches are making me question whether to bother with the app, and I’m certainly not going to upgrade to a paid version.

Literally THE BEST app EVER!!!!
SHUTS OFF AFTER A MONTH
I read the book and it helped a lot. I had heard that the author put the book everywhere to help the most people and that was very welcoming to hear. Being suddenly locked out and charged is NOT the principles the book taught, it is greedy scummy practices. I didn’t even make any account it just lied about the free capabilities until I’d been invested for a month. Growing as a person shouldn’t be a subscription. Shameful, I look at the book Atomic habits differently now and that’s such a huge let down.

I do like the book, but this app has so many design flaws
Hello James,
I've read the book and I really liked it. However, this app is littered with design flaws I have to uninstall it:
1. Paid users can't create more than 6 habits. This is a pretty strange design. A paid user is supposed to create unlimited amount of habits and not get hard locked to only 6 habits. A paid user pays $5/month or $40/year just to create only 6 habits simultaneously? Other similar apps use hard limit to incentivize in-app purchase, not locking them down to a limited version.
2. Tutorials bombard a new user from the start. No one cares honestly. I just want a habit app that's simple and efficient and it works. It should give me several functions: it can create a habit; it can track a habit; it has a heat map; it can repeat itself in a way I like. Every single tab is pushed with prolonged tutorials on how to use the app properly whereas I just want a simple design that gets the job done. Yes, wisdom, yes, quotes. No one cares. A habit app needs to suffice some basic functions for user to want to use it. I'm on a free trial of this app and I don't even want to use it because I find it just inefficient and does not do the job well.
3. I understand this is a companion app for the book Atomic Habits, but honestly the app is so littered with unnecessary stuff and hardcoded limits it feels like a waste of time to use it. People use a habit app to record their habits and understand the patterns. Check out some competitor apps you'll see how they design their apps. A habit app is supposed to be simple, efficient, and gets the job done. If these metrics can't even be sufficed, there is no point in 7 tutorials on how to use the app properly and then some. Some tutorials even bugged out on my phone and I had to close them.
4. I have to input a specific time to a habit? And I also have to hard lock specific days in a week? Absolutely strange design. Let's just say repetition is supposed to be "any 4 days in a week". This is not selectable in the app at all neither can you create the pattern. I also don't understand why a specific time has to be put into place IN ORDER TO create a habit. You can assign a time later plus I don't hard lock a time to a habit I'll do but I do do the habit on the day when time frees out.
What's great about the app:
1. Finishing a habit feels great. Holding the button and it registers as a completion does feel great. This is a great design.
2. I do like the quotes and wisdom baked into this app. When you build a habit alongside these wisdom quotes, it does stand out much more than other apps. However, if basic functions can't be sufficed, no amount of wisdom can save a dysfunctional app.
