Productive - Habit Tracker

So I bought this years ago but never used it and was checking out another app and figured I’d use this and compare it. What I would like to see here is device syncing. Calendar and Apple health integration for reading and exercise habits and with the calendar it can set you reminders and adjust if schedules change. A disappointment is that there’s no pre set habit for showers. Ok but not even an icon? There’s a duster icon but not one for a shower? There’s even a tooth icon for brushing teeth but no shower when many many depressed Americans don’t shower. I’m tracking cold showers btw not regular ones but anyways. I can’t remember what I paid but I couldn’t justify the current subscription cost for how basic it is and the features it lacks that other apps have. I know these guys have been around awhile so I’m hoping they continue to improve it and get ahead on the AI train. Oh one final thing. Because it doesn’t play well with Apple my size settings don’t transfer to the app and there is no way to make things larger. I can see and read most stuff with a little difficulty but some text is too small to read and. I ability to enlarge text to make it more readable but that’s not going to be a common issue for most but blind people use apps too lol Edit: dark mode all the time is getting old quick. There is no bright light mode when I wake up and the dark mode widget looks really dumb during the day next to everything else not in dark mode.

after testing extensively over several hours other habit tracking apps I found this one to be the most fully featured in terms of statistics and things like an in app timer. The widgets are clean and good enough, there is a more section, and the ability to pause habits. However there are some major shortcomings of this app that has been available for so long that I think would make it much better. 1. overflow timer - would be very appreciated. It’s very difficult to edit entries to show the time that was spent versus the time that was scheduled in the habit. also, it doesn’t show the edited time in the statistics after the fact. I would love to be able to set the timer to start for example minutes read and if my time exceeds what was scheduled it would automatically update and show in statistics. 2. bad habits -there is no proprietary bad habit set up in the app as of now. It’s easy enough to mark don’t smoke as completed if you don’t smoke for that day. But what if it is some thing like cut back smoking and you want to mark every time you have a cigarette so that that data is available in statistics and so that if you are trying to cut down from 10 cigarettes a day you can see when you only had nine and passed your habit but also when you only had three and did even better-even so when you failed the habit and had 11 but when you also failed the habit and had 20. thanks guys!

This app has helped me, far more than any other on the App Store, to take control of my life. It has been especially useful in creating a healthy lifestyle, and to conquer depressive habits I had never been able to. The accountability the app brings is one that is lacking in pressure. If you end up not being able to complete a habit, you don’t get negative feedback. Most habit forming apps on the App Store have negative feedback when you are unable to meet your goals, which can become quickly frustrating and cause more self-criticism. Other apps on the market will send an obnoxious amount of reminders, that eventually become easy to ignore. Rather the app uses as many, or as little, reminders as you want. You can choose which days of the week and what time of day the habits need completed by. With the Premium feature, you are able to create as many habits as you want and gain access to more fun settings. For me, the amount I paid for the yearly subscription was worth it for the changes I have seen in my life. The only problems I have found is in the weekly section. You don’t get the option of choosing the day of the week for habits in the weekly tab. I have a plant I water every two weeks, always on Saturday’s, but there is currently no way to specify this option. Because I can find no other problems, and because of the personal help this app has provided, I am giving it 5 stars.
