I love it, especially showing the graphs on the dashboard.

Nice, reminds me of Tap Log. I'll give it a try.

Your address seems fake.

It says I can pay to make it adfree, but I was not prompted about a network permission? Local ads sound like a great idea that keeps your users' privacy. I don't see any though.

Like it. I'd love to see a way to set a weekly allowance. E.g. I set "eat junk food" at 0, but really, I want to say I can do it once per week as a treat ;)

Looks great, will be checking this out. One piece of constructive criticism from the preview images is that the title font sizes are a bit large and that the different font faces are a little distracting.

Congrats for releasing your app, and kudos for sharing with us here!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm hoping to add occurrence to goals soon :)

Thanks for mentioning the fonts. I try my best, but I'm not that great at designing. I'll revisit the fonts for my next update

Any chance of a widget? Currently using "Day Counter" to track days since last X, but it doesn't have any concept of streaks or goals.

Design is definitely not my strong point either :) Google's design pages[1] have been a big help to me, they call out specific things to do and not to do with Material design. I think they put it together in a way that can help engineers out.
