Potential – Better Choices

By far the most advanced habit tracker, and I’ve found that having a Home Screen widget showing my habits that can launch apps has been game changing. Highly recommend!!

No, I don’t want to immediately sign up for a subscription without even trying the app first. Prompt me in 7 or 14 days but putting up the paywall (even with a trial, which I have to then immediately cancel from Settings) is a barrier that I’m not sold on because, well, I haven’t even tried the app yet. Especially annoying that I had to create an account first - again, all without being able to use the app yet. Also, 4.99/mo when Streaks (also with automatic integrations) is 4.99 single purchase, isn’t appealing in this space. I gladly spend $200+/yr in annual subscriptions (and single purchases) on premium software products, but this app needs to demonstrate its value proposition before asking for money upfront. The appropriate sequence should be: 1. Show the intro screens then a tutorial of the app 2. Allow the user to use the app for 7-14 days 3. At some point, ask to create an account to sync data or use the social features (or naturally, when the user tries to use a feature that requires an account) 4. Paywall when the trial is up Happy to try again when the onboarding for this app gets fixed. I could have tried the app in the time it took to write this review, but it’s really the principle of CX that bothered me enough not to.

I tried this app out to see if it could outdo my current habit tracker. I alike the idea of combining intentions with integrations. The UI is also nice. Where it fell short was in its lack of granularity. For instance, some habits I want to do the same time every morning, seven days a week. But other habits I want to do Mondays and Tuesdays at different times on both days. I was also unable to create a mileage minimum for a running habit - it’s currently only in kilometers and whole number values at that. This is an app I’ll definitely continue to follow, but for now, I’ll stick with a habit app that gives me the granularity at a cheaper cost.
