My first app: Habit Streaks

2 months ago I had only some basic HTML&#x2F;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&#x27;m very proud of just that, shipping something.<p>Any feedback would be very appreciated!

Good on you for finishing and getting it out there. So few get that far.

Nice work! I especially like how you introduce the functionality with a couple default tasks.<p>Criticism&#x2F;suggestions:<p>* It feels like I should be able to touch a task to select it (to show history?)<p>* I&#x27;d rather not be required to enter a note<p>* Redo-ing a habit still shows all the old notes (and crashed the app once)<p>* Swiping left to hide the redo&#x2F;stats causes the delete button to briefly flash in a clunky way

Congratulations on shipping. I&#x27;ve bought it as an expression of sympathy — I&#x27;m building apps in my freetime too, but they were too complex even for a two man show… so I&#x27;ve never shipped anything. :)<p>What I would like to see in your app are high res icons. They look pixelated on my 5s.

Congrats on the app. Looks pretty good.<p>My suggestion: make it freemium. Give away the basic functionality, and charge for extra features.<p>I believe this will make your app much more popular and also be more lucrative to you in the long run.

Hey big congratulations on getting your app released!<p>Looks really clean &amp; minimalistic which user&#x27;s love! I&#x27;m working on a similar app for achieving your goals, setting rewards &amp; basically motivating you to success. I&#x27;m even using the app myself.. I would love to share ideas with you, maybe even a partnership of some sort.<p>Please contact me at joeytawadrous@gmail.com if you would like that.<p>Strive: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id877308957" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id877308957</a>

Pretty much the exact same idea I had about three weeks ago. Even wrote it in my &#x27;idea pad&#x27; with some other detail. This has convinced me to get my ideas out sooner. Well played and good job! - (I am also very new to programming and the amount of ideas I have are unreal, so chances of me ever doing this were slim) - But it&#x27;s nice to confirm my ideas were on the right track :)

Congrats! Quick nitpick - fix your icon in the app store itself. Looks like you have the corner radius from iOS6 on your icon so you get some black edging in the corner. I usually just export a square version for the iTunes image, they&#x27;ll add corners as needed.<p>(great template: <a href="http://appicontemplate.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;appicontemplate.com</a>)

Congratulations on getting your app out!<p>I&#x27;m working on similar app, tracking and building&#x2F;breaking good&#x2F;bad habits. It&#x27;s very close to an alpha release. Please get in touch if you&#x27;d like to compare notes (contact info on <a href="http://drewgoodwin.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;drewgoodwin.com</a>).

Congrats on shipping. I haven&#x27;t downloaded it yet but the App Store screenshots look low quality&#x2F;compressed. Probably not noticeable on an iPhone but I see it on my desktop.

If you&#x27;re making it free, any chance of seeing some of the code? I&#x27;m looking to make a UI with the same row layouts.

It looks like a great idea, and a well designed app. Even as much as I want it, I&#x27;m afraid I can&#x27;t justify spending $0.99 for a productivity app. Just my opinion, I would much rather have an occasional ad, with an in-app purchase to get rid of ads. Thereby, if I really loved and used the app, I would pay the price. Otherwise, I&#x27;m afraid not. Still a good looking app though!

Congratulations and kudos to you, that was hard work! It&#x27;s a very useful app too!

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