awakee Morning Routine Legacy

This app is really helpful to get me up in the morning. I start school relatively early for me, and it’s hard for me to focus when I’m still pretty tired. This app has helped me be more efficient and independent, which is great because my mom is busy getting the rest of the house up and out the door in the morning. I loved the addition of the custom habits, because I do a lot of unique things you might not expect in a morning routine to get me functioning. The time-limited thing for your habits gets my competitive mind thinking that it’s a race, making me more motivated to get my things done faster. I have anxiety, and struggle with prioritizing and when one of my parents tries to keep me on task I get more anxious, because I get worried I’ll make them upset. This app completely removes that morning anxiety, because I won’t disappoint an app on my phone! Thank you so much, this has been so helpful for me! I just wish my mom would let me buy apps so I can have the full version to help me even more. I’m only in 7th grade so… yeah. But this app is amazing just as it is!

FEEDBACK: Great app. I like the way you can input your own goals for morning, afternoon and evening routines. And I like that you can adjust the time for each activity in your routine. But I have 2 major suggestions: 1) Add a PAUSE button on the timer, so the user can pause if there are interruptions or if a person wants a break between each of several items in your established routine. 2) Add a way to track whether I did EACH of the activities in my morning tracker, not just whether I did the entire routine or not. Without this, I’m more likely to seek out and use a different app. Here’s an example. Let’s say I input 5 tasks for my morning routine: like stretch, meditate, healthy breakfast, walk, and study - for 30 mins each. Here’s what happens when I open my morning routine each day: it starts a stopwatch that runs nonstop through the designated morning tasks. It feels like a race which creates unneeded hurriedness and allows no flexibility. There’s no way to pause the timer for example to finish one task and pause before I go on to the next one. Or to take a phone call. And no way to track if I did SOME of the morning tasks or just some. The only way I can stop the timer is to close the app, and then there’s no record of what I have already done. And the only way I can track progress is to say I completed ALL of the morning routine (or none). This severely limits the usefulness of the app.

This app is great, and I just started my 6th grade son using it as well. It definitely helps keep those of us that daydream in the mornings on track. Lol! My only issue is with the notifications. Today I noticed while I’m doing my routine I kept getting alerts that’s it’s time to start a new task in my banner notifications. When I open the app the timer said I still had about 30 min remaining. This morning I added another 5 min to my workout routine and I think it started acting weird after that. Please check that out when you can. Otherwise, great app and looks beautiful!!
