Reviews: What People Think About (Not Boring) Habits

I love the app all in all and I feel it’s the first app that has kept me honest with my habits. A few suggestions I feel would improve things much further would be: Please make it so we can switch habits by swiping let or right on most of the screen. Right now most anywhere on the screen that we touch “presses” the center checkmark button. And habits are relegated to a tiny font at the top and that’s the only spot we can switch. It would be more dynamic if the font for the habit was larger and the center button was smaller, and swiping a where else on the screen left or right would switch between habits. Likely with your brand of sleek but snappy animation. The more I think about this the more I want it.
Also it would be interesting if progress on the little figurines was lost if you break a streak. This may be extreme but it can be an optional thing.

I absolutely love the artistry and interface. One of the flaws (biggest one) is not having cross device support. I understand you’d have to have a database and hold user data for this which would cost you instead of holding all the data locally on the user’s device. I’d suggest adding another pricing tier to add this feature. I’d pay it. I use my MacBook, 2 iPads, and iPhone interchangeably and it’s frustrating not being able to track habits from different devices. Add this feature and you’ll have 5 stars. On top of being able to seamlessly track habits across devices (without having to click a button like restore), it would be great to access skins this way as well instead of unlocking them on each device. Second flaw is not having a landscape view.
Bonus extra work: create icon sets to match the artistry of the app and wallpapers. Jump onboard iOS16 developer beta and create some new Lock Screen skins. Create a daily task manager app. You’ll be making booku bucks. :) just a suggestion.

I love the simple accountability of this app. I rarely use apps so this is saying a lot! One major note to the Not Boring folks: I find the daily messaging puzzling, as it is strangely negative – talking about destruction or a kind of wasteland, when in fact the entire point of the app is to build positive reinforcement. Request: change that messaging! It’s a downer and also meaningless (a sort of fake zen koan mysteriousness) — one just stops paying attention to it. I’m actually thinking of looking around for another app with more encouraging messages (reinforcing successful steps when building a good habit). I just hope instead that someone in the developers is listening and will consider this simple change in text, because the music, the SFX, the simplicity — all of that is excellent!
About (Not Boring) Habits

SCIENCE-BACKED METHOD TO BUILD BETTER HABITS
Most habit trackers fail. They try to motivate you with games like streaks and trophies only to turn on you when you fall off. Building habits doesn’t have to be miserable.
60 REPETITIONS
