The itunes link seems to throw me out of the app store for some reason and searching the app store manually yields me no results.

Shame. Conceptually your app is exactly what i'm looking for. It's the community support that is the missing ingredient in all other attempts in solving this problem.

One big suggestion is to have an easy link from the blog to the main site. I know it gets said many times on here, but it is a very big turnoff.

As far as the app goes, I really enjoy the design. I also really like the concept and hope it works successfully for me

Edit: You really need to be more detailed about how the friends process works. I assume it only works with Twitter at this point because the app wanted to access my account. However, there is nothing on the website (that I could find) about how this worked. I would highly recommend creating a less awkward friending mechanism. As of now, the community aspect is useless to me because I don't want to spam my email list with invites.

Sorry about the iTunes link trouble – The joys of 1.0.

Does the link to the App Store on http://lift.do work for you?

I've been using the Lift beta for a couple of months and it is an excellent example of positive behaviour design. There are no gimmicks or gamification in the app, just positive reinforcement when you're using it.

It has helped me exercise more, do pushups, tidy the house and many other things because I intrinsically wanted to achieve those goals.

On a side note, I just did BJ Fogg's one week free habit forming course http://tinyhabits.com. It goes hand in hand with what Lift is trying to accomplish.
