I wish there’s was an Apple Watch app ### 4/5 — Fuzzy numbers make this hard to use for medicine *2023-10-28, version 1.0.6* I really wanted to use this app to help me keep track of a number of medications I have to juggle after a surgery. But I find the fuzzy numbering system used to indicate when is the last time I took a medication completely baffling. I would love to see at a glance that it’s been 8 hours since I took a medication. But the summary page will say 6 hours ago, when in reality it’s 8 hours ago. That’s too much fuzzy numbering to make this safe to use. At least for medical purposes. All this needs is a setting to turn off fuzzy numbering, and get an accurate time, and this app would be so perfect. ### 4/5 — Great but no Apple Watch companion *2022-03-22, version 1.0.5* I love and rely on this app as I take a lot of medication. The only drawback is needing to have my phone handy every time I need to record something. My Apple Watch is on my wrist all the time so a companion app that allows me to simply record an event would be great ### 3/5 — Can’t Sort *2021-05-15, version 1.0.5* It boggles my mind why this app will not allow you to sort by the date you last did the action!! ### 5/5 — Great little application with lots of room to grow! *2020-07-13, version 1.0.4* Heard about this app from the Launched podcast, and really enjoy using it! Very well polished app for a 1.0.x Two feature requests: 1) Allow a user to select a “threshold” time. Eg, say I have “Change the cat litter” on, but I should really change it every day. It would be great to set a threshold of 1 day, and when I pass that threshold, it sends me a notification, or the text turns red, or some other visual cue. Even if I could specify thresholds for “green,” “yellow,” and “red,” that would be awesome. 2) Allow a user to share a task with another user (or users), and let them both contribute tasks to it. Eg, say I have “Change the cat litter” and I’m living with a partner/spouse/SO, we could both see the task and contribute to it. Plus, it’d be cool to see a small chart or graph that breaks down each person’s contributions. Probably would require some server-side work and a shared database that syncs. ### 5/5 — Brilliant twist, thoughtfully presented *2020-07-08, version 1.0.4* I don’t know Heidi, but I’m pretty sure she’s not a licensed psychologist. And yet she had tapped into something that, in many cases, more closely aligns with the way our brains actually work than the classic ToDo list or bullet journals that have been the rage for the last half century. And I’m not a psychologist, either, so I won’t try to sell this opinion as anything other than my personal observation. But I am a dad of two small kinder, and this app just clicks with them. Kids (and grown ups) just naturally resist ToDo lists, because it’s a chore that needs to be done. This app twists the paradigm by focused on what you have done, not what needs to be done. It’s classic positive reinforcement. The attention is on that which has been accomplished, not that which needs to be done. It’s subtle, but it’s a perspective shift that, to borrow the words of Dan Harris, makes you 10% Happier. ### 3/5 — Great idea needs better date support *2020-03-03, version 1.0.3* Need to be able to set a year and date of events. Currently, does not go back far enough or allow for a specific year to be chosen. ### 5/5 — The app I didn’t think I needed *2020-02-11* Easy to use and great for remembering the last time you did something that you want to refer to. ie. when did I last change the water filter, furnace filter etc. ### 5/5 — Nifty app *2020-01-14, version 1.0.3* A great app for quickly marking actions as done, eg when you went for a run or changed your dog’s bed. Really useful, nicely designed (look and feel), works great! ### 5/5 — Excellent unique app *2019-12-30, version 1.0.3* I really hope this developer continues to expand functionality in a helpful way without sacrificing simplicity! I also love the integration with shortcuts!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too limited *2023-06-01, version 1.0.5* I purchased on a recommendation and disappointed withe the ability to edit events. From what I see you can enter the date and time and not location. I was trying to enter a haircut I had last week but couldn’t edit the location. This app my suit ones needs but this and other missing things and design choices, not worth price. ### 1/5 — ios 14.5 breaks the app *2021-02-16, version 1.0.4* ios 14.5 beta breaks the app. instant crash. ### 1/5 — Not voice-over friendly *2020-10-19, version 1.0.4* I am blind and rely on voice-over to be able to use my iPhone. This app has unlabelled buttons and voice-over doesn’t read them. Not recommended for a blind user using voice-over. ### 1/5 — UI freezes *2020-07-11, version 1.0.4* Been using this app since it launched and it’s constantly getting slower with more data being stored. Every time I log a new action the UI locks up completely for a couple seconds. Basically unusable at this point. ### 1/5 — Missing something... *2020-01-31, version 1.0.3* No watch app. ### 2/5 — Good concept but too primitive *2024-02-13, version 1.0.6* The initial concept is good but there’s so many things I’d intuitively expect that aren’t here. For example: 1. Automatic sorting of items based on last completed 2. Categories/filters to bucket items into e.g., All, home, self care, work, etc. This app really isn’t worth the price ### 2/5 — UPDATE: Timing is baffling and Shortcuts don’t work *2023-12-02, version 1.0.6* UPDATE: After a few months of usage, here are some really, really annoying flaws in this app. First, the way the dev decided to display time is just baffling. It always rounds DOWN. For example, if something happened 47 hours and 59 minutes ago, the app will still just say it happen “1 day ago” since it hasn’t been 48 full hours yet. Are you kidding me?! What went through your head when you made that decision? Second, as a workaround for the fact that this dev didn’t bother adding widgets, I set up some Shortcuts to mark some things as “Done.” Well, wouldn’t you know, every single one of these is broken now. Trying to run ANY Shortcut with this action just fails with an error saying there was an error communicating with the app. Good job 👍🏻 Original review: It’s the mark of a lazy developer that the app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and that despite being PERFECT for widgets, this one doesn’t even have any. Unbelievable. ### 2/5 — Desperately needs shortcuts *2023-09-01, version 1.0.5* Until it has them, i will never remember to use it ### 2/5 — No widgets? You have to be joking *2023-06-11* It’s the mark of a lazy developer that the app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and that despite being PERFECT for widgets, this one doesn’t even have any. Unbelievable. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and sorry for the disappointment regarding the lack of widgets and updates. Due to some other commitments, we had to take a hiatus for a while, but we are now back to working on this project. We agree that this app is well-suited to widgets, and it’s on our roadmap. However, some other pressing fixes require our attention first. Meanwhile, we understand the frustration and hope we can meet your expectations in the future. ### 3/5 — Basic but does the job *2022-06-01, version 1.0.5* The basic features of this work well but it desperately needs more personalisation options. For example, something not done for 20 months will show as “1 year” - I’d love an option to adjust just how this is shown. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A better reminder *2025-08-10, version 1.0.6* Some things need to be done periodically, and if having a reminder to do that on a schedule works for you, well, good for you. But, be honest, do you really remember to replace your toothbrush as often as recommended? Knowing when I replaced my toothbrush, or when I put a new battery in my car is helpful to me, will that be helpful to you? Spend a little money and find out. ### 5/5 — Love it - need a watch version! *2024-05-25* This is a great app, and I would love to see a version for the Apple Watch since I don’t always have my phone handy when I want to record what I did. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2024-03-27* Simple and intuitive app without unnecessary prompts, I love it. And it's very functional. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2023-10-31, version 1.0.6* Amazing application! As I am getting into my upper 40s my short term memory is going to the pits. I mainly use this to log medications as well as ask if I took the medications for that day if I can’t remember. I have now added other actions, and made them all into Shortcuts. I can simply ask, did I “task” in Siri will let me know when the last time I took that action. For those of you complaining, this is a free app, into the developer: I am very grateful you created this great job! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! It does a simple thing REALLY REALLY WELL *2023-07-03, version 1.0.5* Love this app. It’s easy to use and overall a fantastic idea and perfect implementation. Feature requests: 1. Widgets! Ability to show the list of “when did I” items as a widgets. 2. App Icon A few alternate app icons so the inside themes can match the app icon Love ya work! 💕 ### 5/5 — Super Useful and Great *2022-11-17, version 1.0.5* This App is extremely useful and made with all functions you need for journaling any activity you need. Please don't abandon this app 🙏 ### 5/5 — YOU READ MY MIND AND I LOVE IT *2022-07-10, version 1.0.5* I’ve been looking for THIS app for several months, and thought it didn’t exist! I was to the point of looking into how to make an app/thinking of app names so I could make this style of tracker, and I finally found your beautiful creation when I— get this—came up with a name idea for my app (whendidi-pronounced like “wendihdee”) and typed it into the App Store and lo and behold you had already created EXACTLY what I was looking for!! ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Fun + functional *2021-08-24, version 1.0.5* This app is great and easy to use. I have vertigo that started over a year ago and I am keeping track of when it comes and goes. I keep track of when I see my first hummingbird. If my children or grandchildren were younger I would enter when their milestones. It has many uses. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-08-14, version 1.0.5* I love love love using this app! I use it to keep track of so many little chores and other things. Simple and does the job! ### 5/5 — Greatness!! *2021-01-26, version 1.0.4* What a wonderful app! It does exactly as advertised Well thought out and very easy to use. Clean looking on both my iPad and iPhone! Thanks! Suggestion? Yes, export to a spreadsheet would be nice! Sorting and searching. But even without these, I recommend this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
