#2The visual design looks great. I'm a fan of such "streak" based tracking (aka Seinfeld Calendar). Looking at it can mentally transport you back to the last time things went wrong and remind you that it wasn't worth it (because you went back on track).
Do you have a way to export the recorded data? That's something that bothers me about this kind of iOS app: the data might still be useful after you eventually stop using the app or even iOS. It could be as simple as sending XML or CSV via the on-device email.

#3This is a great idea. Would love to see it on Android.

#4I've used streaks before, but I never liked how the interface didn't tell me what I had to do /today/ to maintain my streaks. Your app seems to solve this, so you've got a customer.
Also, great design! Are you tracking conversions?

#5Very nice.. Well done.
Any tips on the best ways to get into the market?
For example could you discuss your design and development process

#6Really like the app, when i searched in the app store i noticed there was another similar - "Habits pro" i think? Luckily for you that one is pretty ugly and more expensive!
Feature suggestion: It would be nice to be able to keep track of things that need doing multiple times per day - the example featured on your website of "drink 8 glasses of water" would be more useful if i could come back into the app and log each one so i don't lose count throughout the day!
Also love the streak tracking, I have my habits logged and look forward to using it :)

#7Love the logo/app icon.
Re: Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app
#8Looks really nice, the website looks awesome, and the App also does.
Though, I can't try it because I'm an Android guy.
Just two things:
1) 1.99$ ? Are you sure a "free app" isn't best ? 2) Post to blog is bad ? Uh ? :P

#9Minor thing: The iPhone on the site with the app shown on the screen - the low battery percentage, the alarm icon, the odd time and the AT&T icon are all kind of distracting to me. I know it has nothing to do with the actual app, but 11:53 is not a pretty number to look at, nor is 23%. The battery icon is over 3/4 empty which instantly causes me a little bit of anxiety - I'm worried that my phone is dying, not looking at the pretty app interface.
Everything else seems really polished, but those were the first things I noticed, and they distracted me enough to post something here.
Other than that, the app and the features look great.

#10Bought. Looking forward to using it.
Edit: Some thoughts:
- Reminder probably doesn't need minute-by-minute granularity... 10 minute increments are probably fine and easier to scroll through.
- How about a "random time during the day" reminder?
