User Reviews for Way of Life - Habit Tracker

Invaluable

I have used to app for some six or seven years, and find it tremendously helpful. I am sure my life would be less without it (in fact I did think I had outgrown it at one point and was proven quite wrong). I tell people about it all the time. It's a great way, for one, to not get hung up on all-or-nothing thinking (with perfect streaks and so on), and to see that even when you feel like you are failing to some degree, you may still be improving from what came before. And of course, it is perfect just for the simple business of doing the day-to-day tracking itself, just for the accountability and record keeping. In the rare instance I have needed to contact the developer, it might have taken a while for them to initially get back (I think they are just one person, so be patient) but when they did I found them to be tremendously helpful and open to feedback. An absolutely solid app.

Very nice, but lacking some much desired features

I really like the simplicity of this app, and especially love and respect that the developer did not fall into the subscription model; buy-once and forget is so great for the user.I will say that it is missing a few key features that would really complete it for me.Would it be possible to add in an option make some journal items occur less frequently than every day of the week? For instance, there are some things that I want to target doing once a week, or twice a week. To be able to track those as well as my daily habits, all from a single app, would be amazing. Currently I have to mix-and-match with other apps to really review a week of my life the way I'd like to.Devs; is this possible? It would get a 5-star review from me. If N-times a week is too complicated to include, simply having the option of a once-a-week journal entry would be awesome. What I'm currently doing is making journal entries that say something like "exercised, or took intentional rest day". This technically turns it into an every-day item, but it's kind of a non-ideal workaround to the preferred "exercised this week" option that could exist. Chains could work the exact same way, with respect to consecutive weeks rather than consecutive daysThanks for reading, abs for the hard work!

Filler free, but…

I've got a bad habit of looking for a habit tracker, but this about hits the sweet spot. Fat-free, simple …but still gives the data nerd in me some info to peruse once populated. And the one-time buy is a huge, huge plus for me. The navigation can be a little wiggly getting used to it, as is flipping the script on "yes" v "no", but nothing crushing. There are one or two aspects of the navigation that appear to do nothing (or I'm not as bright as I thought) or are vestigial, and support has yet to reply, but I don't seem to be missing anything in making it work and track for right now. Other than that, nice and clean and self-contained. In and out without a lot of pointless distractions that build bad habits while working on others. Looking forward to filling it up to keep getting that bigger picture and for where this might go and what else they might do. If you want a tracker without overkill data and cutesy eye-candy fluff, this might be for you.

Just what I wanted

I wanted a simple “yes I did it” sort of tracker. But one that I could mark off the next day and not necessarily at the time I was doing it. This has reminders if you want them, but I like that I can set one reminder to update the whole list instead of being bugged about every item. I want the motivational nudge of a streak without the irritation of reminders or stress of losing “credit” because I was living my life and not updating my app one day. Love that you can mark as done, not done, or skipped... as in didn’t do on purpose. And the tracking of not doing negative things is a first in the recommendations. I tried a dozen habit minders and this was the only suggesting that and asking if it’s a positive or negative item (for example, tracking not smoking or not binge eating). Happily paid for the full version with unlimited items.

Helpful! Encouraging!

I find this app the best for habit forming. I bought several to test out which one I would like the best since forming a good habit is so critical to healthy living. This app has a notification on the app (red bubble with number of habits waiting to be completed that day). The notification is helpful to remind you as the day goes on and you can see the number go down. I made the mistake of having 7 habits and it grew to 10. I'm down to 3 now since I was feeling defeated when I didn't accomplish all 10. Simple habits like "make your bed in the a.m." or "take vitamins" or "exercise for 10 minutes". I was sick for a few days but I checked off that I exercised and took my vitamins and wrote a note in that box that I would have exercised and taken vitamins if I wasn't puking. Or you can hit the skip button and write a note why you had to skip. If you didn't have to skip, check the "X" and use that as an oppty to get better. It's not a negative mark on you, it's an oppty to get more green check marks and improve. Keep it simple and support and encourage yourself.

Needed this app! (basic spreadsheet export)

So many journaling and tracking apps out there really put some effort into their exports. Your only option here is a spreadsheet (which is good! And necessary! But not enough.) Take a look at the mood tracking app Daylio’s export, it’s a pdf, looks nice and it’s good to read over and review. Another thing, exporting habit descriptions separately! Descriptions are stuck on the app! I use them to keep track of what I mean by “yes” or “no” for the habits at any given time and so it’s important for me to save my descriptions as well, it should be an option. My only choice is to copy and paste them which isn’t so bad.Maybe what I’m asking is too much, or not that useful to other users, or not feasible. I don’t know so for that reason I’m not rating this app down. I love it so far thank you. I’ve been starting so many positive habits I started to lose track!

Helps me improve habits & make good decisions!

I’ve been using this app on and off for years now but have been using it very consistently for a couple years straight now and it has had a tremendous positive impact on my life. Having a really quick and easy way to log my patterns and behaviors each day allows me to be more aware and accountable to myself. Visible seeing exactly how many days in a month I log a “bad” habit makes me more inspired to improve it, and seeing the number count up on my streaks makes me want to keep them going through healthy competition with myself, because I don’t want to break my streak! It helps motivate to be able to see you milestones broken down into specific numbers and statistics. Clean design, quick and easy to use, and I love the variety of ways you can display the data.This app has enabled me so much in my own personal growth and health, and I recommend it regularly and now have a bunch of friends using it and seeing improvement in their own lives as well.I cannot recommend it highly enough! Thanks for all you do, Lars!

Old faithful / Gold Standard

I’ve possibly tried every habit app, and keep coming back to this one. I find it causes me more anxiety to deal with all the bells and whistles of the other apps than just straightforward check boxes - I did it / I didn’t / I’m skipping. For others I felt like I needed a habit app just to do all it took to record my habits! However what makes this a gold standard is that in addition to the simple and intuitive interface, it has one of the best data outputs of any of the apps I’ve tried. Actually I think it is the best. I also like that whenever there’s an update, it feels like the app developers are writing you a personal note to let you know what they did and why they did it :)I know these types of apps can’t be one size fits all, but I wish more people would try this because everyone I’ve recommended it to really loves it! Ps -The only bells and whistle type of thing I kind of missed was having cute icons, but then I realized I can just add emojis at the beginning of each task which is actually way better because then I can make it much more specific compared with some the weird icon packs from other apps! PPS - the recent different theme update sealed the deal because it now looks just as cool as all the ones with too much fluff! Great work developers 👏🏻 👏🏻

My Favorite App

I’ll put the strait facts first but I may ramble, so bear with me. I have been using this app for around three years now and I can say it’s absolutely perfect. The updates are always looking for ways to improve, the cost is absolutely worth it and helps me stay more consistent on so many of my habits that were lacking before. I can’t recommend this app enough. If you’re someone who is neurodivergent and/or you have a bad memory, this app is super helpful for appreciating all of your small victories and visually recognizing patterns. I love that I can see my trends of habits and pinpoint lows for myself and work on improving. It’s great to have a basis to go off of and goals. Being able to see the progress is one of the most helpful aspects without paying a price that’s not worth it on other apps.

Better than ever!!!

Been using this app for about 3 years, and it’s now been about 2 years since I last left a review. Through steady updates, this continues to be the best habit/task tracking app out there for me. It’s simplicity, function, and charm just can’t be matched. The most recent update involves some nifty design changes so I thought I’d update my 2 year old review. I really do love the newer update! It brings so many design elements that make the app much more beautiful and modern. Buttons, journals, and charts look so much cleaner and more modern. I also love the new themes! The dark themes are more favs, but the other ones really do bring out different moods and vibes from app. With each update, the developer brings something new to the table, which just goes to show how hard working and dedicated the devs are — not only to the app, but to its users. This continues to be a quality app that I’ve used everyday for 3 years and I consider to be an essential for all iOS users. I hope the dev continues to bring us quality and keep up the good work! Every bit of praise and success this app gets is well deserved.
