Outstanding - almost there – HabitMinder • Habit Tracker Review

Habit apps are a crowded marketplace, and this one really stands out to me. Gorgeous design that is very simple and easy on the eyes, but still very flexible. They found the right balance. It’s engaging and fun to check things off (might as well use the addictiveness of technology to help your productivity :) Their hydration app is equally fantastic. Both have earned a permanent spot in my “Today” view...assuming a few things are in the works. 1. Mac app - visibility and management of tasks/habits is really only viable if you can access them (and synced notifications) from any device. 2. The notification text is a bit odd. I wish these would just contain the habit text and nothing else. They often appear as verbose sentences that you have to read. For me this affects the fluidity of use. 3. The Today widget could be enhanced by only showing remaining habits at the top. 4. Ability both to skip habits or mark as failed would be nice. Items 2–4 are all ways of helping you see only what you need to see. The “at a glance” nature of this app isn’t quite there yet. The comments seem to indicate that more integration with multiple devices is forthcoming. Lack of this functionality is normally a dealbreaker for me, but I’m using this on my phone only for the moment because the app is just that good. At whatever point these become more integrated in the ecosystem, this and WaterMinder will unquestionably be 5 star software.
