### 4/5 — Pretty cool 😊

*2025-03-22*

I like this!

### 3/5 — Simple usable but resolution is outdated

*2022-05-02*

Made for older iPhone, helpful if you prefer big text

### 4/5 — Carrot everything! Carrot for our lives!

*2021-12-26*

Love all of Carrot products my only wish for this particular App would be an option for Dark Mode or the option to create your own color scheme. That would put it over the top!!!

### 4/5 — I love the app but hate the write up

*2019-07-25*

Your description could well discourage people from getting this app. I suggest you instead focus on actual life utility. How long since you last ..saw a certain doctor? ..washed your car? ..called your mom? ..since your cat ran away? ..since that major surgery? ..how many times have you done...?

### 4/5 — Good app! I look forward to updates!

*2019-05-29*

Good app! I am enjoying it. I would like some things added:
One count for the day of entry button so I don’t have to put in the date each time I want a count. I like the feature it does already have where you select date that it was completed, but I want additional button that is instant for the day of.
 I would also like to be able to add tasks without counting them as done the instant I added a task, so that I can come back and add counts to them as I complete them. thank you for this good app! I look forward to updates!:-)

### 4/5 — Simple idea

*2018-08-05*

Works great. Apple Watch complication would be nice.

### 2/5 — Needs notifications

*2018-06-08*

The concept is great, but the app needs to be able to send me alerts/notifications if I’m missing my scheduled recurring events.

### 5/5 — ❤️carrot

*2018-02-13*

I purchased all of the CARROT apps. I use them all and love the snarky comments! They work great together to help this lowly meatbag get stuff done and keep track of what I’m doing. I look forward to waking up, checking the weather, going over my to do list, getting in a workout, and keeping track of my calories, playing the AI game, and caring for my cat. These apps brighten my day!

### 4/5 — Great!!

*2017-12-15*

Very good apps!! Practical to use and monitor the activities with a simple design!
Could improve creating categories for example, when do you have a lot of items in the list it’s a little difficult do found the correct one, or may even if we can have same search...

### 5/5 — very cool idea, works well.

*2017-08-08*

Love the reverse todo list idea.

### 5/5 — Perfect for tracking recurring tasks

*2017-07-11*

Want to track replacing A/C filters ... contact lenses ... maintenance cycles on equipment ... or anything else that needs periodic redoing?  This app is perfect. Not many bells and whistles so it is easy to use and, well, just perfect for monitoring those periodic recurring to-do's.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-06-07, version 1.1.2*

Un'app incredibile,affidabile
100% consigliata

### 5/5 — Way more useful than you might think

*2017-05-22, version 1.1.2*

Update 5/21/2017
Glad to see this app has been updated. I think it's an important app because in a very efficient manner it allows to to track things you'd normal few as trivial. Yet, I've the course of time a pattern emerges which can be quite amazing. 

Previous review:

As someone whose life has been greatly improved by Carrot, I was looking to load up on other apps but this developer. Recur, seemed sort of a letdown at first. But as used, particularly in conjunction with Carrot, I realized that this way more powerful that many of the habit streak apps I used in the past.

### 3/5 — Fine App

*2017-05-04*

Update for iPhone 6/6+ resolution would be fine.

### 4/5 — not just for exercise

*2017-04-28*

this app is great for tracking work on any open-ended projects where progress is best measured by time repeatedly devoted to it: learning an instrument or a language, writing a book or music: anything where breaking the project down into discrete action steps would be too artificial and constraining. 

recur helps me keep my priorities in balance: thank you so much for implementing this so cleanly and practically: it's quick and SO useful!

### 4/5 — I love Recur

*2017-04-18*

.. If it had a search facility it would be 5 star.  Great support from developers too.

### 4/5 — Updated!!

*2017-04-18*

My favorite app for tracking repetitive events like exercise. I don't like to be nagged but it's too easy to fall behind. Recur keeps me honest.

### 1/5 — really need intra-device sharing

*2017-10-10*

would be at least a 4 if it could share data between my iphone and my ipad, probably a 5!

### 1/5 — Almost, but not quite

*2017-05-13*

This app is ok.  Not great due to the limited functionality.  It is supposed to integrate with the Carrot To Do app - but that doesn't seem to work either.  I emailed customer support for assistance and there was no response.

### 1/5 — Thanks for breaking it!

*2017-04-07, version 1.1.1*

Ever since the update, the Carrot To Do integration is broken. Trying to reset this doesn't work either. It now thinks that i don't have the To Do app installed on my device.

### 1/5 — Slows down my iPhone?

*2017-03-17, version 1.1*

I keep getting prompted that this app slows down my iPhone :(

### 1/5 — Beware-Lost Reminders

*2016-03-29, version 1.1*

In upgrading to IOS 9.3 on 6s and needing to do a restore from the cloud, I lost all items!!! Tech support so far has not helped me. On update only on 6+ lost everything from about two months ago.

### 1/5 — Great, until...

*2015-04-03, version 1.1*

Awesome app until you replace your phone and restore from a backup only to find ALL data is gone, over a year of tracking lost. It's a real shame developers of such awesome concepts can't get the necessities down right.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app.

*2015-03-21, version 1.1*

This guy has moved on to his "Carrot" line of apps, so unfortunately this app is abandoned.
Just get the "Counters" app instead.

However, if this app is ever updated again then here's a suggestion.
Allow people to set a "starting" value for a counter.
This way if I'm copying over counters I was using in another app I can type in the values of my previous counters and pick up where I left off.

### 1/5 — Shame in you

*2015-03-19*

Silly Human ?
Bad Wording

Gift not working

All Apps Art better sry.

### 1/5 — Good, however...

*2014-12-31, version 1.1*

There is no way to export the history. The app is excellent and I find it really useful, and would change my rating to 5 stars if it only had this one feature; to be able to export the history.

### 1/5 — Pretty disappointing

*2014-09-09, version 1.1*

The reminders are /very/ limited, can't even do anything "complicated" like every two weeks or every quarter.
Also no edit functionality makes it almost useless, you don't always have time to mark something right when you did it, and can't go back and set it when it really happened.
Needs a lot of work.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-12*

Been using this app for many years. Simple, light weight, does the job well.

### 5/5 — dude i love this appp!!!

*2024-10-02*

it's the most unforgettable intuitive, unique and priceless reverse reminder app!
i love it and it's a part of my daily life  ,

### 5/5 — Love this for my ADHD

*2023-10-07*

I’ve used Recur for years. My ADHD time blindness makes it difficult for me to gauge how often or how long ago I did a task, or visited a place, or completed routine household  maintenance. Recur provides a simple, low-friction way to keep track of those type of things. It’s not fancy, but it does its job very, very well!

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2023-10-02*

It could use an update…

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2023-04-01*

My friend showed me this app and I love it! It tracks whatever I want to track and it shows how mag times I have done it. Super helpful and I always want to enter more things lol.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-01-21*

Great interface super simple. 

Would like the option to auto sort by value.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-21*

I like this app for keeping track of what I have done and motivating me to see what things I don’t give enough attention to. I think the ui should be updated to include a little plus icon when you pull right so you know that action increments. I had to read the docs to find that out. Also labels and filter on labels would help if you had a lot of entries. Still, even with all those things missing, I think it is a great app.

### 5/5 — Simple and the best

*2019-01-06*

I have been looking for such app and found it accidentally. Almost 5 years I have been using this. Convenience and simplicity of app is developer's talent.

### 5/5 — Critical for one thing

*2018-05-06*

How long since I changed the insert in my electric razor?...checked my car’s battery water, the A/C filters, etc. seems to be no other app that serves this function. I use it for a million things. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — It just works!

*2018-04-14*

Great little app. Does exactly what it says it does. Simple interface. Elegant and smart. What’s not to like, if you need this function?
