Instructions for App Operation: 1.) Click the + at the top of navigation to add a new Group. 2.) Enter in a Group Item Name. 3.) Select a color.

Click the newly created Group. The main view will load with days of the week. 6.) In the Toolbar, toggle the S, M, etc… buttons to hide/show days of the week.

Clicking the Delete Routine button in the editor will remove the Routine from all days of the week and from the app. 17.) In the main view toolbar, clicking the Clear Checkboxes button will uncheck all Routine’s checkboxes. This can be useful when starting a new week and you want to clear previous week’s progress. 18.)

Tap-hold (force-touch) a day of the week’s name to see additional functions. Check All will check all Routines for that day of the week. Uncheck All works the same. Delete All Routines will remove Routines for that day of the week. 21.) Tap-hold (force-touch) options for a day of the week when using “All Groups” work a bit differently. The Check All function will apply to all Groups for that day of the week. Same for Uncheck All. Additionally when using All Groups and performing Tap-hold (force-touch) option Delete All Routines, it will remove all Routines for all Groups on that day of the week. Care should be taken when using these global functions as they can impact multiple items in one operation. 22.) Tap-hold (force-touch) a Group to Edit or Delete the Group. Editing allows for name and color change. Deleting a Group will also delete all of it’s Routines, so care should be taken when using.
