Underrated, Affordable, Accessible Habit Building App!
Response from developer
Thank you, this made my day. Keeping TinyStreaks a one time purchase with no subscription was a deliberate choice, so it means a lot that it landed with you. On the gem economy: I did consider making the earn rates and streak bonuses adjustable during development, and ended up settling on a fixed rule instead. Once you allow custom rates, the maths after a reward is redeemed gets complicated quickly, and the numbers stop being predictable for the person actually chasing the streak. What might help in the meantime is the Reports section, which shows how gems are calculated and how the streak bonuses accrue. Once you can see the rate you are actually earning at, you can set your reward redemption costs to match, so a reward is worth roughly the number of days you want it to represent. Glad the notifications and widgets are pulling their weight. Building a habit is mostly a reminders problem, so that part matters more than it looks. Thanks again for taking the time to write this up.
overall, five stars ✪✪✪✪✪
For those of you who don’t like giving extra information, you don’t have to make accounts it’s not required.
The only thing I wish is for the rewards and how that works and operates to be explained a little bit more thoroughly and like maybe a handbook in the app for you to fully understand how the UI works and each feature spec
Overall it’s a very simplistic app for tracking your goals, does what it says it's gonna do and if you do want the premium, it’s relatively affordable, but if you don’t have the premium, this app is still very usable and not super limited.
To the Developer, great job on this app, I feel the effort ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗

Thank you, this is lovely to read. On the rewards explanation: it does already exist, but it is tucked away under the Reports section, so it is fair to say most people would never find it. That is on me rather than on you. I will work on giving it much better visibility in an upcoming update, so the explanation of how gems are earned, how streak bonuses work and what each screen does is somewhere you would actually look for it. Worth a peek under Reports in the meantime, since the full breakdown is sitting right there. Thanks for taking the time to write this, and for the kind words about the effort.
