For the past 2 weeks, I have built my routine adding specifics or removing stuff I don’t feel needs to be apart of it. It’s very easy to do so as the layout is simple, and clean. (Which I love, because simplicity in apps is my personal preference.) Doing morning and night reflections are my favorite thing to do as I don’t exactly get to vent a lot. The quotes give me something to think about, even if I logged myself as being sad. But of course there are the things that I wish could be in this app. -Storing reflections to look back on, password protected. -Ability to go back and log reflections when you’ve missed one, I’m guilty of missing 2 or 3 in the morning. But it kind of ticks me off that I can’t go back and log it especially if I remembered how I felt at that time. But overall I am satisfied with this app, 5 stars all around!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect Simple App *2022-03-18, version 1.3.16* Like other reviewers, I was looking everywhere for a good routine, reminder, mindfulness app. When I found this one I instantly was hooked. It’s just so simple!! You make routines for morning and evening and throughout your day you can do reflections. The reflections really are helpful for me and I look forward to them everyday. The questions vary from day to night and are not the same everyday. The simple layout is calm yet inviting without being too much, making me want to check it every morning and evening. So if you like simple apps, this is the one for you!! ### 5/5 — Simple and perfect *2022-02-11, version 1.3.16* I’ve downloaded pretty much every habit tracker on the App Store and not only is this one the best one because of how simple yet effective it is, but it’s also completely free? Amazing! The app has a great UI design and makes it easy to see all ur habits. So many apps are annoyingly complicated for accomplishing this one simple thing. Love this app! The only thing that’s missing is an Apple watch view of my habits. Please consider adding this! Would love to be able to check off my habits as I go about my morning routine without having to be on my phone. Either way - 10/10. ### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect! *2021-10-01, version 1.3.15* I have a horrible time with setting good habits and sticking to them. My ADD is also a big factor; I have a hard time focusing for long periods of time, even with medication, and I lose track of time so easily I forget to do things I’d originally planned. I got this app figuring it couldn’t hurt to try. I’ve used it for almost a month straight now. Every morning I wake up to a notification that encourages me to do a small task. And every morning, I look forward to the wonderful little compliments I get about each thing I do. I look forward to the encouraging quotes that come with my reflections. And the wellness levels that depict what each task helps me with, mentally and physically. Every small task is a huge accomplishment, especially once I realized I was doing each task for a solid month now. I though this would be a pay-to-personalize type app, with ridiculous purchases that I would have to pay to care for myself. Or that I would be bombarded with ads. Or that it would be too generic and work like a simple reminder app. But I don’t have to spend a cent. (The only payment here is the option to buy vitamins, which the app personalizes with data and a small questionnaire.) This app is just so perfect and purely good for getting into good habits. I’m healthier than before, my habits have stuck with me and I feel I’ve made a lot of progress. Thank you so, so much for this gem of an app!! 💛💛💛💛💛 ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2021-09-21, version 1.3.15* I have never rated an app before but I felt like I should with this one just for anyone looking for this type of app. I downloaded 4 routine:habit apps trying to get my life together, and this one works best for me. I like the way it looks I like the reflections it gives, and the way it works. It has helped me create a routine, and I have never been able to before. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to start creating a routine in there life. 5 stars all the way. ### 5/5 — Build intention + good habits *2021-09-15, version 1.3.15* I honestly don't know if I could have gotten through the last year without this app. It's 100% free, beautifully designed, intuitive, and simple. With this app, I've been able to transition to a healthier lifestyle, take on new hobbies I've always wanted, and feel better. With weekly analytics and measurable items, it would be a disservice to yourself to not try it. Thanks a bunch to the developers and everyone who made this. I appreciate you more than you know. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-09-12, version 1.3.15* I really like this app! It requires minimal work on the user’s part and I’d extremely user friendly. I like that there is a list of pre-set activities to add, and then you can choose the order of these activities without having to add a time limit or any other bothersome schedule. It’s simple, it’s easy to use, and I appreciate it! I wish that there could be some more options for customizing (colors and things), but aside from that it’s a great app. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-09-11, version 1.3.15* This app is really nice for routine planning and just general self reflecting. It’s super simple to use, some of the routine or wellness apps I have tried are so complex that they are confusing or they have a bunch of fees for the stuff you want to use. Not this app. After using it for one week I had already formed good habits without having to look at my list. I woke up early, drank water, wrote a to do list etc. The reflection aspect was also extremely helpful. Just being able to get a visual concept of what my emotions were like throughout each week was so good for me and assisted in changing unhealthy patterns that caused these rollercoaster emotions. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Perfect!! *2021-08-27, version 1.3.15* Not only is the app free, but it actually works. Every morning and evening you can set a routine for yourself to follow. You click on the ones you complete and can reflect on how things are working out for you. I like it because I don’t feel pressure to tap everything, so I can use it to remind myself about habits I want to start working on without letting guilt and procrastination make me rage quit. I never felt behind, and when I fell off for a couple weeks I was able to get right back on. It gives me personalized feedback about my progress, as well as some helpful tips that I actually use. My favorite part of the app is how simple it is. It doesn’t flood you with ads and none of the resources are blocked behind a paywall. I can easily set my schedule, and only look at that and my weekly report. It has other features, but it’s effortlessly weaved into the system so you don’t have to go searching for it and it’s not in your face. Sorry for the random jumble, I 100% recommend and hope my rant made sense ### 4/5 — Simple and Clean *2021-06-01, version 1.3.12* I often feel depressed in the morning so I wanted something that would motivate me to get up and get moving. I liked the idea of trying a beta app because it’s a little rough around the edges, just like me. So far it has been very easy to use and not at all overwhelming or stressful like some of the other popular apps I’ve tried. I like the clean design as well as the insights that are provided. I only wish there were a few more activities offered within the app, such as suggestions for stretches, journaling prompts, a place to record dreams, breathing exercises, or even a simple game that you can play to relax. I have also had issues with getting the app to sync to my time zone, but I imagine once the full version is available, they will have worked out these kinks and added more features :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Excited to continue using and hope for helpful updates *2023-01-02, version 1.3.16* I love the idea and concept of this app. However, it’s not very different from the reminders app aside from the feedback tool that gives “data” on your mood, stress and sleep. What would make this app better is more customization (color options, time of day beyond just am/pm, etc.) and most importantly a widget option to keep the routines on your home screen/Lock Screen easy shortcut to encourage use of the app and consistency with the items on it. ### 3/5 — I like it so far. *2021-07-14, version 1.3.13* I literally just signed up for this app, went through the beginning process set up goals etc.. my request please PLEASE make a setting for people who work nights or swing shifts our lives are set up and ran very different than the normal 9-5’ers. I always feel like I have to lie when I answer the surveys or check off the boxes. I work 7 days a week 5 of them being overnight and 2 are evening shifts I’d like to be able to organize my goals on that schedule. Please! I know I can’t be the only one who desperately needs this. ### 4/5 — Pls read if want info🌸♾💦🤪🥳🌛😀😃🌷 *2024-04-27* So here’s what your gonna get, an app that you make an account using email,username,and password (and verify password),then tells you info about the app, then takes you to a screen with different topics and you pick suggested ones (or make up your own) for your morning/night routine. Then you check off all the things when the reminder is set and then you go and do your routine! Now here is a couple suggestions to make this app a better place(in my opinion)! So pls an afternoon routine, and and then a reminder for each and every thing you do(with different times),and then boom that’s it!! Well I mean it won’t let me create my own activities but I think that just my iPad getting old cause I have the iPad mini 3 gen!😊 So ty for reading!(ty-thank you Pls-please Info-information. Btw-by the way) btw love the tests in the morning and night 💜 ### 4/5 — Amazing but could use some improvements *2024-01-22* I never leave reviews but this is one of my favorite apps that I try to use everyday. It has totally helped me create a routine and stick with it for the longest I’ve ever stuck with any routine ever. I love the options it gives you to add to your routine, and the quote that appears when you complete your daily check-in. The whole tracking system is awesome! The only thing I wish would change is the writing for the weekly recaps. The captions for the slides always stay the same which can get repetitive and boring eventually. I would love it if the writing changed and they added something different each week. Same thing with the daily quotes, since sometimes they repeat. It would be cool if there was a wider variety of encouraging quotes that appeared. Other than that, this app is so useful! ### 4/5 — Awesome app, wish some features were added *2022-12-07, version 1.3.16* I love this app! I’ve been using it for about a year now. It really helped me with my mental health. I love how it gives you suggestions for what you should add or take away from your morning routine. I do have a few things I wish you could do: • There were more options for tasks to add to your routine. I know you add your own custom tasks, but sometimes a little push is needed. I’m talking about basic stuff, activities of daily living, such as brushing your teeth or putting on deodorant, etc. For someone who struggles with severe depression, it’s hard to remember to do those things, and it’s hard to get motivated to do them. • You could make your routine slightly different (but still mostly consistent) from day to day. Some days, it’s okay not to take a shower or do yoga. Overall, it’s important for your routine to be consistent in order to feel in control and comfortable. But, for example, I wish you could plan out things over a week. Such as, on Mondays, *these* things are on my routine, while on Tuesdays, I add *these* things to my routine. Etc., etc. Otherwise, outstanding app, and I love it! ### 4/5 — Routine *2022-12-01, version 1.3.16* It’s a really good app, with great quality, and it’s FREE. Most apps like this make you pay a lot of money, for no reason. So I was really happy when I found out this app was free <3. It has great routines and motivates me to be productive 👍. The only thing I wish I could change though, was them making it. I do like the ones they’ve made, but sometimes I just want to make my own, or edit them. Otherwise it’s really good, and I love the journal it has too. ### 4/5 — This is An AMAZING app 😊👍 *2022-05-10, version 1.3.16* This app is amazing it helps me to Keep a good routine. Although it does it’s still sometimes does not help because Since it is just an app Its kinda hard to listen to and to make me follow my routine and I wish it actually made a sound When it reminds me. But it still helps me to stay on track with my routine! and is a great app that you should totally download because it is free and unlike other apps it Does not Beg you to Buy premium to make your app “better” ### 4/5 — Missing 1 important thing *2021-10-01, version 1.3.15* As I’ve seen in previous reviews, I would love to be able to go back and log habits that I did in previous days. While I often remember to do parts of my routine, I forget to check them off, especially in the evening. Also as a Type A personality (referring to someone else’s review discussing this), it frustrates me that I’m not getting credit for something that I did, but have to leave unchecked because I forgot to check it off yesterday when I did it. This app would be perfect if it weren’t for this. ### 4/5 — Great for building healthy habits in small ways *2021-06-20, version 1.3.12* Fairly new to using this app but a little in love with it. I’m someone that’s always struggled with maintaining any kind of routine but over the last week this app has been incredibly helpful. The design is nice and simple (love the colors and ability to switch between routines) and is a part of my day I look forward to when it’s time to turn in. Being able to check off simple tasks like just drinking water, stretching, etc. has been great for building a healthier routine. Only critique would be for a way to make the awake period more customizable. I work nightshifts and don’t normally get around to my evening/night routine until 5-6am, so being able to lock the night routine and reflections for a specific period of time would be great! It’s a little thing but other than that love the app! ### 4/5 — Great App, Some Kinks To It *2021-06-06, version 1.3.12* Hi! So I have actually loved this app a lot and it has gotten me to be a lot healthier, productive, and happier. It has a great easy format to do whatever you want to do/add in your morning or night routine. It even has streaks if you have been active lately. So just recently, I actually have been having a problem with the little streak fire thing. So I do not know whether or not I am on a streak, but it will show the little fire symbol on the side light up and then it will be gone saying there’s no streak like it will completely disappear. So if you guys could fix that, it would be a great help. 😁 Other then that small kink though, this app is great! And I think it will definitely come in handy when you are trying to be more organized or more productive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why I love this app *2024-05-07* This app helps me stay organized and on time, so I can get to the places I need to be or when I need to be there. Like school I have to get up early to be on time to my classes and this app helps me do that. Also this app keeps me on task and focused on my day ahead of me. I also think that a schedule helps my mood. This app helps me to get more sleep, and off to a good start in the morning. I tell my little sister to get this apps because if it helps me then it surly will help her. But whoever created this app is an absolute genius because there’s so many apps that require money and who really wants to pay money to have a schedule. And I love this app because it doesn’t require any money at all and it’s just like the others except way way way way better. That why I love this app so much. Thank you for your time, Violet ### 5/5 — Great, except… *2023-08-30* This app is amazing! It lets you set a time for it to remind you to do something, and it’s not like Scheduled where if you wake up a few minutes late, your entire schedule is thrown off. It has a TON of amazing suggestions for things you can do, like walk the dog, or to clean your desk/workspace. The only thing I find slightly annoying is that the buzz of the app isn’t very loud. It might be able to be changed, though, so I’m keeping it to five stars. For those of you who don’t know how to make the buzz louder, if you have the app called Clock, you can go to the section that says Alarm. That way, you can make an alarm at the same time as when you need to get up for your routine! It’s also nice that it has two different times you can set for your routine. There is Morning and Evening, and I find that very useful. For those of you that are having bad thoughts about this app, I’m sorry you do not find this app as nice as I find it. I highly recommend Routines for anyone who needs a schedule! ### 5/5 — Best free and easy routine tracker! *2023-08-01* My name is Aliyah and im a high school student, I was in search of a routine tracker for my morning and night routine. I wanted something that allowed me track each day what I did, make a morning and night routine on the same app and be able to make a list in order that I could simply check off. It met every requirement. This app lets you have a simple night and day list that is very easy to switch between. You can even set notifications that will remind you when you want to start your list. The lists are very easy to put together considering they give you some ideas of what to put down and you can create your own. From what I know there is no limit to how long your list can be. There is a nightly reflection that helps tracks your wellness that I find to be very helpful with taking a moment to check in with yourself. In conclusion I just tried this app today and I love it, if you want an easy simple morning and night routine list this is the one! ### 5/5 — Genuinely good *2023-05-15* I’ve only had this app for a couple of days and i can already tell that this is amazing. I love that it doesn’t “force” you to do some many things like of what you “absolutely should be doing”. But it also isn’t a completely like a do it yourself kinda way where you’d have to put in every building habit yourself. This app actually gives you really good and healthy suggestions to do. I like the mood board, and how they are all implemented to each habit/routine. And there isn’t any reprimand for not doing one of your habits like if you accidentally miss it. Most other apps would completely lose your streak for the whole week. But instead it just reminds you of your routine at the same time you’ve set it for. And you can mark off which things you’ve done in your listed order do everything feels organized already. The other apps that that i’ve had are nowhere near as good as this one. 10/10 would totally recommend. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-02-21, version 1.3.16* This app has greatly helped me establish routines that are healthy for my mental health. It gives you weekly data on your moods and stress levels. I only spend 5 minutes in the morning and evening updating the app and answering the short quiz. I have found over the last few weeks of using it that the days I wrote down 5 things I am grateful for I have elevated moods and feel less stress. I never would have realized this if it wasn’t for this app. ### 5/5 — Everyday goals accomplished *2022-08-23, version 1.3.16* I’ve only been using this app for a week but I like it a lot. I’ve had a hard time doing just everyday small self care acts (like stretching and taking vitamins) and so far it’s helped keep me way more accountable and thus has made me feel more proud of myself for sticking to these small goals. I’m not perfect at finishing all the tasks but I’m a lot better than I was on my own. I also like that it checks in 2x a day, asking about how I’m feeling. It’s a great app. ### 5/5 — So far I love it! *2022-08-18, version 1.3.16* I’ve had this app for two weeks now to track myself. I suffer with depression, OCD, PTSD and all of those have caused Anxiety. Having this app to keep track of my mood, my habits, and also to give me little pep talks has been wonderful. There aren’t a thousand ads, and the interface is so simple to use. If this app ever goes behind a paywall or leaves the App Store, I will be heartbroken. You can set your own preferred routine tasks and check them off every morning and night. The little check helps me be consistent, and I’ve been getting more sleep than ever. This has led to improved mood, decreased anxiety, and even a better cope on my OCD. I don’t get overwhelmed so easily, which has stopped my repetitive behaviors. I promise this is NOT a paid review. This is the first time an app has helped me to feel like I am truly living, and not just surviving against my illness. I know it sounds stupid, but if you are depressed or anxious you will understand. ### 5/5 — This app is life-changing! *2022-07-20, version 1.3.16* I struggle with schedules and consistency, so I’ve been looking for a simple and free app like this for a long time that makes it easy to keep up with a daily routine. I love that it gives you the ability to create both a morning and an evening routine. I was expecting just a general daily routine, but this is better. It also let’s you do a simple self analysis that keeps you aware of your progress. Sometimes I wish there were more features, but I also think that would make the app more overwhelming to keep up with. I’ve tried other apps where that has been the case and I would eventually just stop using them all together because I couldn’t keep up. I definitely recommend this at for anyone who wants to keep up with simple daily routines and be more consistent. It’s helped me a lot. ### 5/5 — first app that helps me stay organized *2022-07-05, version 1.3.16* i must’ve downloaded ten apps to try to keep a routine straight and simple. All the other apps i downloaded either required pay or just had way to many features for what i wanted. downloaded this app and fell in love with it. i love that it just keeps a morning and night routine straight while being simple and aesthetic. plus i love the check in feature and and suggestions for your routines. overall great app and highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Rare Find *2022-06-13, version 1.3.16* Routines is a simple and beautiful app! I’ve been using it for the last year to help me build good habits and track my mood. I love the inspirational quotes that pop up, never makes me feel guilty but instead I feel good for trying, even if I don’t get to everything in my routine. I always recommend this to all my friends struggling to build new habits. Thanks to the developers for making this useful and elegant app free :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
