No other app quite like it. Pls keep the updates coming! Almost Perfect. Wish I could lock the routine view to 1, 2, or 3 Days at a time. It's nice to scroll and see unlimited days. Just would like another option. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2015-06-06, version 3.2.4* Iwatch support would be nice ### 4/5 — Love the concept. Still missing features and bug fixes. *2015-05-01, version 3.2.4* People giving a bad rating because they don't understand how the app works and are "asking for a refund" should really have watched the extremely helpful videos on YouTube before purchasing. Daily Routine isn't like any other calendars which is what makes the app so great. I won't go I details about the concept, please watch the videos on YouTube. The app hasn't been updated in a while and could use some bug fixes. Some features break without any obvious reason now and then, the UI also has many weird graphical glitches. These all can be fixed with an app restart but they definitely can get frustrating at times. I also wish there was an easier to make a routine out of individually set events. Hopefully this app hasn't become abandonware. ### 2/5 — No free trial and a tedious app. Waste of money. *2015-03-08* "Typical time" and the lack of a back button when adding timeslots makes the entire app a chore to use. I'd like to be able to customize the start AND end times when adding timeslots, but the only way to do this is to finish adding the timeslot at whatever duration it's "typical time" is set to, and then edit the timeslot. Why does there even need to be a typical time, and why do there need to be specific activities. If I want to write for an hour today, but tomorrow I want to write for two hours, why must I create two separate events that each have a different "typical time?" There should just be a "writing" category, with the ability to add events of customizable length under that category or any others. Wish I could get a refund on this app, and am extremely disappointed I spent money on something that doesn't have a free trial version. Never again. ### 5/5 — Well done *2015-02-26* This is a great app. Exactly what I need to keep my ADD in check. I've been struggling with "to do" apps but they always end up too bloated and I give up on using them. It took about an hour to learn and set up my daily routine and add activities for different days of the week. Once I got it set up (and making changes is a breeze) I airdropped a pdf to my mac, flawlessly. I got rid of my todo app and put Routine as one of my four apps. So now whenever I get distracted or spend too much time on task, I check the app and it instantly tells me what I should be working on. Calendar integration is a bonus! I love it! ### 2/5 — Doesn't Help Me *2015-02-15, version 3.2.4* The app didn't help me in any way. Wasted money. ### 4/5 — Great app, missing widget *2015-02-11* This entire app could be a widget. This software would be best used as something I could just take a quick glance at. ### 4/5 — UPDATE *2015-02-10, version 3.2.4* Keeps crashing when I try to restore my data from a backup on my email! Please fix! Otherwise a fantastic app. ### 2/5 — Too complicated *2015-02-07, version 3.2.4* I really don't have the time to figure this one out. ### 2/5 — Good Ideia, Lots of Bugs *2015-02-05, version 3.2.4* Crash 3x times in the first 10min of use. Good idea but not executed right in this review time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money! *2021-12-31* I was willing to give this app a chance despite some of the negative comments. For sure you’d be wasting your money if you buy this. It’s buggy, doesn’t look professional, and wouldn’t allow me to add any entries. ### 1/5 — Crashed 2x within first 10 min *2015-09-13, version 3.2.4* And by crash, I mean, had to delete app and re-download. A waste of $5. ### 1/5 — Too hard to populate *2015-09-10, version 3.2.4* At least populate it with some example routines so that we can just modify ### 1/5 — Confusing!! *2015-08-28, version 3.2.4* This is the most confusing app I have ever come across so sorry I wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-07-20, version 3.2.4* App goes silent and notifications stop. There seems to be no fix, and developers have no explanation. Should change the name to Inconsistent Routine. Seriously, don't bother wasting your time with this! ### 1/5 — Too buggy and complicated *2015-06-08* The app is buggy, after some actions it crashes and you should open it again and again, until you cannot even open it like me now! It's interface and mechanisms is very complicated and routines, time slots, actions are all what you should learn about them! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work as expected *2015-03-23, version 3.2.4* Very bad implementation. ### 1/5 — Too complicated!! *2015-03-04, version 3.2.4* Too complicated!! ### 1/5 — Looks great on the surface, but... *2015-02-11, version 3.2.4* Way too visually noisy to use. Plus, the ability to change colours on already established events is either missing or hard to find. Don't recommend, particularly when there are plenty of better and cheaper (free!) calendar apps out there. ### 1/5 — :( *2015-02-04, version 3.2.4* Not as easy to use as I thought it would be another $1 down the drain. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Routines made easy *2020-04-11, version 3.2.4* Quick, easy to use, great count down for each activity. I have lots of applications and this is a favourite. Nine years later, still using this app ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2015-08-31, version 3.2.4* This app is perfect for people like me who always seem to forget to brush their teeth or set time aside for lunch. It's a little confusing, and I STRONGLY recommend watching the tutorial videos before attempting to use. But the videos are very clear and make this app very useful. ### 5/5 — Been looking for this for a while *2015-07-06* This app has been extremely helpful in getting me up and out the door on time in the mornings. My schedule varies day to day, and I used to wing it in my head, saying "it takes me about an hour to get ready, so I should probably wake up here so I can get to my first meeting here," with varied success. Now, I have all my specific morning routines programmed in, so all I have to do is pick the routine (e.g., exercise or no?), and say that I want to be done by my first meeting. Then I instantly know when I need to wake up, leave the house, and so on. Plus it gives me little reminders as I go. It's an indispensable part of my morning routine now. Thanks a lot for making this. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2015-06-14, version 3.2.4* I have used this for years. Remains the only app which fulfills this specific function. The sync now works well with iPad version since the last update. The developer has always gotten back to me promptly. It does integrate with all my calendars. I have no idea what these one star reviews are on about? I smell a rat ### 5/5 — Very nice but.. *2015-06-06* Very nice app I have ever used. But I hope in the next update added widgets and sync reminder iOS features connected with iCloud. ### 5/5 — Very useful. *2015-06-05, version 3.2.4* I found this app very useful when planning my daily routine, it enables you to sync over multiple devices and create as many different routines as I want. There are a lot of different colours and icon images to chose from and I found this also very beneficial. Best routine app I have used yet! ### 5/5 — The best app *2015-04-21, version 3.2.4* Very good ### 5/5 — i like it *2015-04-20, version 3.2.4* very smart ### 5/5 — Best app to plan your day. *2015-04-15* You have to put some extra effort into learning the app. But when you get it down, this little planner will tell you how your day will go and can be adjusted on the fly, and the changes ripple on down through the rest of the day. It works great for me. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. The app has room for improvement and I expect that it will get much better with time. Even though it is very good now. ### 5/5 — Awesome and Unique *2015-03-31* Establishing a daily routine of good habits can be a real challenge, but extremely beneficial. There never seems to be enough time. This app lets you plan out your daily activities, even to the smallest detail, so that you can make sure the important stuff gets done no matter what. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
