So simple YET powerful

I love that the app is so dumbed down that a 5 year old kid or 90 year old grandpa could use it. It’s helping me keep track of my goals in a quick and easy way. And it’s FREE! Thank you Paul Akers

One wish

I like the app. It does what it claims to do, and I think it does it fairly well - about as well as other habit trackers, given that every developer has their own tweaks that reflect their focus or take on meeting the need.
I realize the last update was 2 years ago so I don’t have an expectation that any new changes might be made but I still wanted to voice one wish in case anyone’s reading... Aside from fixing the missing videos already mentioned by others, there’s one particular thing I wish we could do with the habits: add a frequency to them. There are some habits I don’t want to do daily but would benefit from being reminded of to fit in weekly, for instance. Maybe it’s planning a date night or paying bills. I want to listen to an audiobook on my commute, but only 4 days a week; I want to enjoy silence the other weekday, and I don’t donuts on weekends, so I’d like the option to select 4 days a week for the audiobook habit and still “complete” it at 100% for the week. But maybe that’s just my need to get the gold star.

Videos not accessible

This is a simple and functional app. My only complaint is the videos are not accessible. I tried both in the iPhone and iPad - neither worked.

Great app

Paul you are a great inspiration. Would love to see ability to assign days to habits - i.e. take garbage out (Wed).

Lean habit forming app

I highly recommend this app! Great for forming habits that will improve your life substantially. Paul created a winner with this app! Get it now!
