Awakee Routine & Habit Planner

Tons of bugs! Where do I begin...but great potential otherwise.

The developer has made huge strides in making this app reliable. I use it every morning for my 3-hour a.m. routine. It used to crash at least once every morning. It no longer does—I can’t remember the last time it crashed. It’s a great app for setting and keeping mornings routines. My one complaint is that during the routine, when I get a notification pop up on my phone, the timer stops if I interact with the notification at all (for example, marking a reminders task as complete). I can easily resume the timer countdown by clicking on pause/play twice. But sometimes I don’t notice the timer has stopped. That’s the only remaining issue I have with this app. It’s honestly one of the most useful apps on my phone. Highly recommend.

I started out with the original version of this app (same name, different icon, less features). That version has a few bugs but is far superior despite them. Since updating to this newer, fully-loaded version, my morning routine and peace has been ruined by incessant and unscheduled notifications (imagine brushing your teeth 15 minutes ago and getting a notification to brush your teeth anyways) and ringing "task completed" sounds that go off 4-to-6 times instead of the once. I've tried silencing my phone, and still the DING, DING, DING, DING persists -- usually before my task timer is even up. I thought using the Apple Watch version would help, but it can't find the routines I created on my phone. Downloading this app and purchasing the annual subscription is the worst mistake I've made in months. I'll be deleting it after I post this review and pleading with the heavens for a refund on my purchase.
