You are better off without it!
Response from developer
Hi! I completely understand your perspective and totally support it. I am also the founder of a physical planner company so I do understand that you need to find something that works best for you!! And Routinsie (like any app or product) won’t appeal to everyone even if thousands of people love something! While I do really appreciate your feedback on pricing, and HEAR you on wanting a free plan, our pricing is on our website, we talk about it in thousands of comments and are never here to fool anyone. It’s far from a secret. I promise. This is actually the founder responding to you so we are a very small, founder based business where we always put our customers first so please know that your thoughts will be put into consideration! We are a brand new app, and therefore decided not to have a free version for quite a few different reasons at launch, but now that we have we are more open to the concept as we do want to support as many of you as possible. In order to grow the app and be able to grow to be able to provide more options (like free versions one day), we do need reviews that are accurate, and the support from our current customers and users! So while I understand this review was probably intended to more so create positive change, we hope that you would consider that leaving this rating due to opinion based feedback could also can hurt our growth, which then actually leads to us not being able to produce faster for you all! Just know your opinion is valued here (actually) and you can always talk to us directly for concerns ❤️
Doubling in price
Response from developer
Hi! Stay tuned for an email from us in the next week! Routinsie has always been and will be staying $5.99! We had an intro offer for the first month being $2.99 (from Christmas) but we’d love to work this out with you! I 100% understand your concern seeing price increase! As a small business I was super bummed with how that email came across from Apple! 💘 We want you back 🤗🫶✨

Response from developer
Hi Lillian! We can’t thank you enough for your kind words and your support. We’re so thankful that planning has finally felt less overwhelming, MORE inspiring & that our app has helped you balance all that you’re working toward and on. Can’t wait to see all the big things you continue to achieve inside Routinsie! 🪽🤍
BEST planner app in the game!!
Response from developer
WOW Charlotte! Truly grateful for you. This is EVERYTHING and why we made Routinsie in app form. We’re truly your daily side kick through it ALL. Thank you for being YOU, choosing Routinsie AND your dreams daily. FINALLY a calendar and productivity platform as ambitious as you are. 💐🎉
The GROWTH 🚀
Response from developer
Thank you so much Morgan! This is SO truly thoughtful of you to leave this review. We work so hard everyday to make the BEST planning platform, that DESERVES you all and improve the platform as we continue to grow together. We couldn’t do it without our community through the ups and the downs! 🤍
A good start
Habits are clunky to set up, must belong to predefined categories and are binary y/n did you do it today (vs. e.g. being able to log how many times you engaged in a habit or anti-habit daily).
Journal prompts are odd and almost seem AI generated with improper grammar too.
The whole app feels like a prototype / MVP built by either a contractor or AI for a nontechnical founder with no experience designing apps / UIs.
Like they dictated what they wanted without really understanding how much work / expertise it would take to make some fairly complex workflows both scrutable/legible and navigable to a user unfamiliar with the creator's vision.
Pretty common really and nothing wrong with that in an early stage but gating the entire thing (app is completely locked) behind a subscription at such a premature state of development is a bit overambitious.
There is thankfully a free trial (or I would have immediately uninstalled on encountering the complete paywall) so you can just try it for yourself and cancel the subscription immediately if it isn't what you're looking for.
Overall it's a good start. Will check back after a while and see if / how it's evolved.
Response from developer
Hi Rob! I really appreciate all of your insight and you taking the time to leave some feedback. We are definitely in our start up phase, but we did not use AI to create our app. I personally created every single prompt in the app, which is possibly why there are grammatical issues! Haha right from my coaching programs. We also worked closely with a developer to build our app for two years! We completely want to build upon our current UI, overall design, icons etc and make everything that much BETTER. Our app is a work in progress, there’s no doubt about that. We’re working hard everyday to create a better product and life changing brand! Again, your feedback does mean the world. We need this feedback to continue to produce something special. We also hope to have a totally free option in 2026 (again as we evolve) and figure out the best routes for us and our customers. We have learned a lot this past year as we reach our one year in February! A lot of our setbacks or restraints are a part of our infancy age, naturally as you said! More to come though! We promise that 📱 Thank you again! Please email helloroutinsie@gmail.com with any other ideas you may have ✨
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
You need to pay to use the app

Hi! This means so much! We believe we are talking with you on social media to resolve this issue once we see what's going on and where! So thankful for you, let's definitely troubleshoot more! Thank you for the review, it means the world.
Bug
bad app
lags
Struggle
Response from developer
Hi! Thank you so much for all the feedback and for being here in our community!✨💞 We were not aware at all about not being able to create events for the future year, and it would mean the world if you could send a video of this issue occurring for you if you are still in the app to helloroutinsie@gmail.com — as for the other issues you mentioned, we couldn’t agree more that it’s extremely frustrating and of course that’s the entire point of a planner app. We were the founder of a paper planner first, and while paper had its own challenges, we are facing startup challenges as a newer tech company, esp in the planner industry. These things do need to work as our users rely on them and we know that. We are working 24-7 to try to rectify issues! To us, small bugs are BIG bugs. We know the inconvenience for go getters. You’re absolutely right that the custom events, repeat events, as well as favorite routines/ events some devices have been buggy on and off since launch where sometimes they’re working consistently, and then buggy after specifically after updates. We are working diligently to get that rectified in for all with our new developer! You’re a 5/5 for us! Any other feedback, or ideas are ALWAYS welcome. Please share with us 1 to 1 so we can implement changes faster and find solutions. Thank you so much for being here through the ups and downs with us!
