## What is Habits?

Form good habits (and break bad ones) with a quick dashboard. Instantly know where you are awesome and where you need to focus. Get reminders to keep you on track. Add motivational photos to inspire you.

Habits is the only app that lets you see the full history of all of your habits in an easy to use way. The Habit score represents your full history in a 0-100 score with your current activity counting more than your past. Doing your habit on time and more often increases your score.

Unlike a recurring event in your calendar, a habit doesn't have to be done at an exact time and keeping these items separate means your calendar won't be cluttered.

Whether you're trying to Get Things Done,  Sharpen the Saw (from Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) or keep a Seinfeld Calendar (of streaks), Habits is the perfect application for you.

Features:
- [NEW in 4.1.0] Support for iOS Dark Mode
- The home screen shows a sorted list of habits (in the order you should do them)
- Habits will make sure you get a notification of a habit that needs to be done, even if you aren't running the app
- For each habit, get a report on how well you are doing, as well as a calendar view with full history (rotate the phone when looking at a habit)
- Skip a habit, and have Habits remind you the next time you have to do it.
- Pause a habit (for vacations or business trips) and not have it count against you.
- Keeps track of your longest and current streak
- Get Help within the application.

## Key features

- Habit tracking dashboard
- Habit score based on history
- Customizable reminders
- Motivational photo uploads
- Full habit history calendar view
- Streak tracking
- Pause habits without penalty

### 3/5 — Okay

*2018-12-03, version 3.0.1*

Alright app. Can't view a calendar view so you really analyze habit history. No way to undo an accidental check of a habit.

### 5/5 — Keeps me in the rotation

*2016-06-02, version 2.03*

This app is great for what is too long a list  of things I should do regularly. It ranks thing by how long it seems been since I've done it. When an item rises to the top, I know it's been too long.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2016-02-02, version 2.03*

High quality, excellent workflow design. I love this app. 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2014-03-27, version 2.03*

I wanted an app that would remind me to call my parents once a week, but just at some point, not "every Monday at 8 am". After downloading ten to-do list apps, I finally found this one that thinks the same way I do. Yay!

### 5/5 — Works good!

*2013-09-01, version 2.01*

Trying this for daily exercise and getting places on time. So far so good!

### 2/5 — New update has a major problem!

*2013-08-18, version 2.0*

This is the first app I purchased for my iPhone.  I use it everyday & love it.  Unfortunately the new update does not let me scroll up or down unless I am touching the light blue sides, which my case covers.  Please fix!!! I love this app , but will have to look elsewhere if this is not resolved.

### 1/5 — Don't!

*2012-03-17, version 1.4*

Needs badges & reminders. App is Rather useless without it.

### 2/5 — A little buggy?

*2010-04-15, version 0*

Very nice concept overall, not sure if implementation is 100% worked out. For example, I have a habit saved for every week, it says I last did it on the 5th, today is the 8th and it's in my "time to do" list.

Once a habit goes overdue, there is no way to track how many times it wasn't done.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2010-03-31, version 0*

Would love to see a badge on this application so that I know how many habits I haven't completed that day.Would also like the option of selecting certain weekdays on which to carry out my habits. Best habits app I have used because of the 'every day' 'every 2nd day' options. 
More colour would be appreciated too. 
Look forward to an upgraded version.

### 3/5 — Simple App. Could do with some simple additional functionality.

*2010-02-19, version 0*

I got this app with the sole purpose of using it as a "Seinfeld Calendar" log. From this perspective it works fine, and as advertised. The calendar view in particular was basically what I was looking for. Considering how simple the application is it would be nice to see the developer add the ability to edit the log (e.g. I marked the wrong day twice, and couldnt edit the log)
