Good idea but can be better
Feels unfinished, maybe a little more work and you will have better app.
-Needs reminders
-Badge counter like someone already suggested
-iCloud syncing
-why is the delete button always visible? Should only appear on swipe like all the other apps

Hell. Yes.
The maker of this app is a hero. Easy to use, edit, etc. There are other apps that try to do the same thing, but not nearly as well. This is the FIRST app I've ever felt compelled to review. I hope people take advantage of it; this app will make you a better person, if you set your goals appropriately. Five stars.

Great concept but horrible execution
Love the idea and think it has huge potential but the app is horrible to use. Unable to edit and make basic changes. Needs dramatic improvement to be useful.
A nice and simple goal setting app.
Extremely simple with limited functionality, Unbroken Chain is what I would call an 'idea app'. It is a goal setting application with a single-minded focus on one thing: keeping track of the number of consecutive days you meet a goal. Miss a day, and the counter goes back to zero. Consecutive days doesn't mean seven days a week, you can set up a goal for as many or as few days per week as you need. I love the sheer simplicity of this idea. I'm not a fan or proponent of any of the intricate systems people use to accomplish things or keep themselves motivated. Any tool I use must be simple and keep out of the way - thoughts spent on maintaining the system are wasted on not actually getting things done.
I've been using the application for about a week now, and I will continue using it. There are, however, a few improvements I would like to suggest.
1. Despite not having using audio in the app, loading it pauses iTunes. I would imagine this is an easy bug to squash.
2. I would love to have the unmet goals for the day super-imposed on the Unbroken Chain icon in the home screen, like unread email on the Mail app. This reminder would be a great way of keeping on top of things even when I'm not thinking about it.
3. I think more could be done with the goal selection screen. Including the consecutive days counter on the line with the goal name, or even a button to mark the goal as accomplished on the line would be helpful.
Essentially, I really like this app; it just needs to do a better job of getting out of the way. I would recommend this app to those of you who have problems keeping up with long-term goals, but who also dislike ornate methodologies for getting things done.
