I love the design factor and simplicity to get 1 thing done right. Good job!

#83Great concept and execution. Love the icon!

#84Brilliant. Thanks for making this app. Downloading now and I will tell my friends about it.

#85Congrats! Building this has long been on my list of "rainy day projects". You've done a much better job of it, though, than I intended. One suggestion- I'd make a setting for letting you change the "Today" font from the handwriting one to a sans-serif one, like the rest of the app uses. I think the handwriting is very pretty and adds good production value, and so I'd keep it in the app, and certainly in the screensho…
I really like the handwriting font. In my mind, it sets this app apart from the drudgery of the email and to-do list apps on my phone.

#86Genius. I've been looking for something like this so will buy shortly! Make it universal so that I can use it on my iPad, the device that I use for apps like this.

Serious question..do those factors affect your buying decision?
Have you ever noticed when you buy a new analog clock or are walking down an aisle that sells clocks, that the hands point to 10 and 2? It's because the clock is smiling at you. Yes, this affects a lot of people.
Most clocks I've seen anywhere just show the current time.
In fact it's very disturbing to come to an aisle of clocks and not have them all showing exactly the same [current] time. It feels wrong.
And who'd buy a stopped clock anyway? Even though you know it just needs batteries, it feels somehow dead/broken. Your subconscious tells you not to buy.

The clocks hands are at 10 and 2 because it "frames" the manufacturer logo, which is just below the 12 on analog clocks.

#89Minor 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 lookin…
With a jailbroken phone, you can make the status bar look exactly like those of the iPhones on Apple's website.
Probably easier with photoshop

#90The 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 usi…
That's a good idea. I'm going to add that to the road map.
