Uncluttered yet has everything
I love using this app to organise my routine tasks for the week. It has so many options for organising the tasks yet it never feels cluttered or too complicated like so many of the to-do apps out there.
It’s also great for habit forming.

Love Using it Every Day
I live a very busy, active lifestyle with 4 children in tow, this app helps me stay focused on the daily/weekly tasks that need to get done. Would be great if the tasks could easily be re-ordered. Other than this, love it!

Good app, needs minor adjustments
I like that the intervals are highly adjustable. The one change I would make is that I wish there was a setting so that the task would come due one interval after it was last completed. So if it’s a 1 week task that you complete on Thursday, it comes due next Thursday. Id also like if my husband could purchase the app and share my list, and as we completed tasks it would update the other persons list too. I’d like that, but otherwise it’s a good app.

Good routine tracking app
I really don’t like cluttering my Things app with normal routing things, so I tried this app to enter all of my regular habits. So far, I really like it. It allows you to set custom intervals for tasks (every 2 weeks, 1st Wednesday of each month, day 15 of each month, once every 3 months), making it very flexible. You can also set custom alerts for each task. There are a lot of settings, but they aren’t too hard to set. It can even be set to uncheck the tasks at the next interval automatically. One thing that it doesn’t do, though, is keep stats on how often you complete your routine, but I don’t really need this for what I am doing.
There are a few things I wish the app would do differently. For one thing, if you set an alert, it goes off at the time you set it even if you have checked off the task as completed for that day. It allows you to set a task for a time interval, but you can’t set, for example, a weekly task that can be completed any time during the week. You have to at least set a day.
You can set alerts before the time to complete a task, but you can’t set alerts to fire after the time interval if you haven’t completed the task or have repeating alerts if the task is not addressed.
It has a today page to show what you need to do today, but it doesn’t allow you to customize it to see more upcoming tasks.
Of course, it lacks any kind of cloud sync, but I can live with out this.

Great in theory - notifications don’t work
The notifications only go off sometimes. There also no quick way to see if you even have a notification set, which is a pain. Also, after checking off a task for yesterday, it didn’t refresh for the next day despite being a daily task, totally defeats the purpose.
Great...almost.
I love this app. It’s easy and extremely useful. I am unable to actually use it because the notifications do not get my attention. I have ADHD and I tend to need notifications/alarms that are loud and persistent, especially if I’m hyperfocused on something. For some reason I do not get the sound/haptics on my watch and even when I change my settings I don’t hear the notifications on my iPhone ☹️. I intend to send the developer an email and hopefully they can improve the notifications!

Not for me
This app is ok if you purely only want repeating tasks. It would be nice to have the one off tasks (i.e. To Do Lists, etc.) as well. It would also be nice if you could rearrange the order of the tasks. Not what I wanted so I've deleted it.
Great solution I have been looking for
I have tried many, many checklist apps (some free, many paid) to get something where I could make routine checklists for each part of the day. I really want to keep these constantly repeating tasks out of my task manager (OmniFocus) to prevent clutter. While there are changes I would make based on my personal use of the app (weekly tasks with no particular day set), default view hiding checked off tasks), overall the app is so smooth and so much what I have been wanting that I have to give it 5 stars. Minor request: would be nice to have the items completed not be visible.

Missing notifications which kills this app
Please add notifications. To me this is worthless without
Fantastic and unique
Having looked into 5 other mainstream apps for productivity this app offers a unique simple solution to tracking things you do every day/week/month/year
I have my daily tasks set so they do not repeat on my days off, brilliant as other apps didn't offer this. It allows for variables: most apps want you to say which day you're doing something whereas this app has the freedom for you to say "yeah I've done that this week already" it sounds simple but again really hard or impossible to do on others apps
If I had to ask the developers for one thing it would be an Apple Watch supporting app for effortless reminders or just to view the app on the watch face like the "Things" or "todoist" apps allow you to. I'm not buying those apps as Routines is the unique solution I'm after but an watchOS app would be amazing.
Overall recommend this app to anyone that does the same stuff every day or week that never wants to miss a thing. Has really helped my productivity and increased my integrity.

Problem With Latest Update?
This has long been a reliable app — simple, straightforward.
The latest update, however, seems to have impacted the UI. Entries appear correctly in landscape orientation, but not in portrait.
I am contacting developer, and am wondering if others are experiencing this?

Needs Cloud Sync!!!
I have had this app going all the way back since my original iPad. It fills a specific niche need. However, as I have added iPhone (4s, now 6), then iPad Mini, I have discontinued use of this app. Why? Because I had set up such a comprehensive list on my first iPad, and I have kept believing that in short time, the developer will update the app with a sync function. I even emailed them about it to specifically request that feature after waiting for several months and it didn't appear! They assured me it was planned for future development. When I got notification that it had been updated recently , I though the time had finally come . . . Not so. Very disappointed. Cannot understand why the developer after 3 (?) years of sync through the cloud being available, has still not made this feature a part of the app. If it had it, it would be a Five-Star App again!

Seems like a good idea
I probably would like this app as the idea is what I've been looking for however the buttons don't seem to be working correctly and inputting new tasks is very difficult.
Great app, needs sync
This is a great app but PLEASE add sync capabilities through the cloud.
Useful app
A useful app that I use to help build healthy habits (workout, journal, take vitamins) as well as chores like laundry, etc. My one suggestion would be to allow us to go back to previous days to see what tasks/habits went unchecked so you can get a clear picture of what you missed. Unless I'm missing something, it starts fresh each day with no history of future viewing options.

Pretty good.
I love this app, as I needed one specifically for my daily repeating tasks and it delivers. However, on the iPad version, I'd really like it if more text was visible (the tasks names get cut off after maybe 5cm across the tablet leaving LOTS of room where more text could have been shown). For example, one of my tasks is 'morning stretches after waking up or showering' and it only will read as 'morning stretches after w'. There's lots of space left to see the rest of the name!

Well designed app.
NEEDS SYNC !!!
1 device = 5 stars
2 or more devices = hassle!!
Please add syncing capabilities!!!
Love this app, but...as often as you need to check off tasks, syncing is desperately needed!
Syncing between devices will bring my rating back up to 5 stars immediately! Right now, I cannot recommend this app anymore to family & friends :( hope to be able to again soon

Doesn't sync!!!
Read about this app on a blog, it sounded great, but after buying I discovered it doesn't sync between devices!!! Without that ability, it's not worth $2.99!!!
