Still having problem restoring purchase
After clicking restoring purchase button, the app tells me purchase has been restored, but still unable to access premium feature after that, please fix, unsubscribed for now, otherwise this is one of my favorite apps for productivity!
App no longer maintained. Premium no longer functional.
Sadly, this app appears to no longer be maintained. The premium features are no longer functional. You can subscribe (and you will be charged as normal if you do), but none of the premium features unlock, despite the subscription.
This is happening to both my partner and me on multiple devices. (We’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restoring past purchases, everything you can imagine. This isn’t functional for us anymore.) We’ve emailed the developer several times and have received no reply. We’re really sad to say that we think this app is done.
PAST REVIEW: I love this app. It’s far better than having your routine items somewhere more rigid. Using it, you can go a little long on some activities and then compensate by cutting short other activities without having to recalibrate everything. My highest wish for the app would be for it to sync across devices so my iPad and iPhone would be in sync. (I’d probably also use it on the Mac, since I have an M1, which can run iOS apps.)

Abandoned
A solid one star unfortunately. I love it and have used it for years but the functionality diminishes regularly. I’m disappointed because I’ve tried every single routine app out there and this one was exactly what I needed. Premium no longer works and the app has lost a lot of its shine. It crashes on several screens and because you can’t upgrade, it’s not worth a lot anymore.
If the developer would come back it would be a five star app again.

CHARGED WITH NO PREMIUM BENEFITS
I love everything about this app and have had for over 7 years. It was so helpful to where I really just lean on it periodically, like when I incorporate a new routine or use as a reset when I feel a routine needs tweaking. Even though I take long breaks from it, I still happily paid the premium of what was previously $2.99 a month, because I believed in it.
So imagine my surprise when I access the app and it tells me that I do not have a premium subscription, which is now $4.99. It’s not the increased cost that bothers me. What’s concerning for me, is that I have still been charged $2.99 monthly by Routinist for at least the past year. This charge has appeared on my Apple receipts monthly, and as of today, the monthly charge of $2.99 appears on my subscriptions page in the App center.
So yeah, Routinist has charged me $3 a month for NOT having a premium account. For at least a year not even joking.

A great help for the time blind
I was looking for an app like this for a long time before I found this one. I was even looking into learning how to create apps, just so that I could have something that would work for me. Fortunately, I found an app that does exactly what I need in order to manage my time well.
Of all the time management apps that I’ve tried, and I tried a lot, this is the only one that works backwards from the time you need to leave the house, and depending on how long each task takes, tells you when you need to get up.

Agree with this:
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. THE DEVELOPERS HAVE APPARENTLY ABANDONED THIS APP. MY PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION NO LONGER WORKS AND CANT BE RESTORED. IVE CANCELLED IT.
I even cancelled my subscription and then started it up again. The premium functions worked one day and then stopped again. This app should be removed from the App Store.

Lovely abandonware
I love this app, but there is NO WAY it is worth $60 per year for an app that does one thing and hasn't been updated since the Covid pandemic.
Really helps me time block my morning
The other reviews have led me to believe that this app is no longer being actively supported by the creator (who, if I recall correctly, also has ADHD and I assume has lost interest/motivation for now in favor of a new project). That’s the only thing that has prevented me from getting the paid version, as I find this app much easier to use than other routine/time-management apps I’ve tried. Fortunately, the lack of updates has not interfered with this app’s functioning at all, and I definitely recommend it!
I only wish I could add additional routines (something that’s available in the paid version), and I kind of wish the bars extended to visualize the extra time spent when I go overtime on a task. I also wonder if timer circles would work better for me rather than timer bars/lines. However, I love that even in the free version you can enter up to 15 tasks and that you can constantly move those tasks around or edit them when you need to change things up from one day to the next.

Brilliant
Have found this app so helpful in understanding how long tasks will take and not forgetting any steps in my morning and night routine. I also am motivated to race the clock so I find myself getting more and more efficient. I really have found it so helpful.
Premium doesn’t work
I pay for the Premium plan and don’t have access to my Other Routines. Keep saying I don’t have Premium. I restore my purchase and it continues to say I don’t have it but i pay every month.
Best app for ADHD
This app helps me so much! I am now not always late. I would not live as well as I have been without this app lol. That is not a lie. This app has transformed my time management skills.
App no longer maintained. Premium no longer functional.

How did I manage without this?
Edit four years after original review: STILL one of the most essential apps I own. Love it. I subscribe to the premium version as the ability to add extra routines is really worth it for me.
Original review: I love this app - as a quite disorganised person it has been incredibly helpful in the morning and evening. The morning especially, as it has helped me to get to work on time and less stressed.

One of my longest-running and all-time favorite time management apps
I have been a premium subscriber for years and Routinist is one of my all-time favorite apps! There are so many organizational and productivity apps on the App Store, but none of them work for my needs quite as perfectly as Routinist does. The ability to start with my departure time (in the morning) and work backwards to the start of my evening routine (while also calculating the time for sleep and everything in between) has been a game changer for me. I hope this app never goes away!

Help button is helpful!
I just wanted to say, that help button is helpful! In the tutorial says that you did like worked really hard on it, so I see where I’m coming from. Anyways just know that your help button is helpful!
Like it but no more active support
The developer does not respond to emails and the app has not been updated in years. It’s a solid app with no glitches or anything but things and situations change and app developers need to accommodate.
For example I would like to see an option for a toggle in routines to auto complete tasks. This is helpful if you just need the notification beep too know when to switch to the next task but are unable to actually go in the app and check off the item. Examples: cleaning, shower routine (basically any hands free tasks)
Sad it’s not an option

Developer does not respond
This was a great app and I reinstalled it and purchased premium which did not work. I tried restore purchase. I uninstalled and reinstalled and reset my whole phone and everything that might help. Three emails to developer and no response. Tim needs to fix this and respond…
A neurodivergents dream
I used this app when I was finishing university and then for a period of time thought it was gone! I’m so happy it’s back. I have severe ADHD and since I can’t take stimulant medication (due to its mixing with other mental “disorders”) this app helps me stay on track with the self help routines I need to function. It would take me a week or mental overwhelm to journal, meditate, do yoga, meal prep, and exercise. Now I can do all those things before I start my day. As someone with disability and a health care professional and app developer myself I love it. Premium is beyond worth it. The feeling of health without medication is a godsend

PLEASE make an Apple Watch version!!!
I have been using this app for 5 years, and it is an absolute life-saver for my ADHD. I haven’t been able to find anything else like this app, and I’ve looked very hard. The only thing is that it can be awkward to carry around my phone as I’m doing my routines. Please make an Apple Watch version!! I would pay a lot of money for an improved Apple Watch version of this app.

Free app okay; Upgrade at own peril
Update on Dec 13, 2022: Review stands. No new updates from developer. Free version good for what it is. I advise against upgrading.
The free version is excellent to give you a “taste” of how an app like this can help.
I upgraded to premium before the subscription model and I’m grateful I did. As of iOS 16, the app continues to work as described: The app is buggy and has not been updated in 2+ yrs - appears to have been abandoned by the developer. If the developer updates the app, I’ll update my review.
