Congrats! 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'd love to know what is this handwriting font. Anyone knows ?

Looks 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

How would he make money from a free app?

I'm sure many would agree with me; I'd rather pay for an app rather than seeing tons of ads on it.

Really 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 eac…

Bought. Love the interface! It fixes most of the issues I had with Wonderful Day App (Review: http://woikr.com/iphone/wonderful-day-for-iphone-stay-motiva...).

Question: What happens if I go through a day without opening the app. Is the activity marked not done automatically?

Suggestion:

Tiny suggestion: Allow swiping in both directions. After using Sparrow I'm used to swipe left for most actions. Doesn't work here though.

Well ok maybe that was a bad example (taken from the product site), but i still think there could be a use for "do this thing X times per day"

Just bought the app and I really like it. The interface is gorgeous, it's as plain and minimal as you could hope for, but with enough style to make it enjoyable to use.

I think that you really nailed the "Frequency" settings, especially the "x times per week" section. It makes it so flexible.

I've tried, but I can't think of anything I'd like added or changed. It's also very refreshing to use an app that doesn't have a "Settings" section.

Looking forward to starting to use it!
