Congratulations on getting your app out! I'm working on similar app, tracking and building/breaking good/bad habits. It's very close to an alpha release. Please get in touch if you'd like to compare notes (contact info on http://drewgoodwin.com ).

Re: My first app: Habit Streaks
#422 months ago I had only some basic HTML/CSS experience and was tired of only dreaming of shipping some product. I put myself through many long hours of courses with Treehouse and a lot of help from the community over at Stackoverflow and released my first app. I'm very proud of just that, shipping something. Any feedback would be very appreciated!
Congrats on the ship! But...why is it paid? If you're trying to develop a reputation for yourself, as well as get that early user feedback, I think you're making your job harder. Yes it's only 99 cents, but there's a tremendous amount of hesitancy to buy an app when there's such a strong expectation of getting for free. Being a first time app developer, developing an app in a crowded market place, only compounds that…

99 cents may make some hesitate but it's also low enough that I'll sometimes buy an app just to support a developer even if I don't intend to use the app.Anything we can do to help uncondition the public that everything should be ad supported the better.
Congrats to the OP on shipping!

#44Nice work! I especially like how you introduce the functionality with a couple default tasks. Criticism/suggestions: * It feels like I should be able to touch a task to select it (to show history?) * I'd rather not be required to enter a note * Redo-ing a habit still shows all the old notes (and crashed the app once) * Swiping left to hide the redo/stats causes the delete button to briefly flash in a clunky way
A few questions: - What do you mean by history? What would you like to see when a Habit is selected? - Thanks for pointing that out. I figured not all habits require a note. - i will look in to those two bugs. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Maybe the progress for that task (i.e. old notes)? Either that or the stats, I guess.

#49Looks really clean & minimalistic which user's love! I'm working on a similar app for achieving your goals, setting rewards & basically motivating you to success. I'm even using the app myself.. I would love to share ideas with you, maybe even a partnership of some sort.
Please contact me at joeytawadrous@gmail.com if you would like that.

#50Does anyone have any suggestions for an existing Android app that does just this?
