Update 7/3/21: I see some updates, some addressing what I mentioned below, like keeping a routine "active" but being able to set it with no schedule so you can start it whenever. This was kind of possible before, but it felt like a workaround as it wasn't intuitive. New method makes more sense from a user perspective. I unfortunately can't check on some of the other features as I've never encountered a persistent error message spam that happens in many transitions within the app (opening the app, finishing a routine, going into my scheduled routines etc...). This error also some comes with issues of scheduled routines not showing up in the scheduled space, and not being able to see them in my history. It's also caused issues with a routine crashing entirely, and having to start over. Support has been responsive though, and offered to extend my free trial until my issue was resolved. I think I have to follow up on that though. The app is still getting the job done, but these bugs are presenting quite a few annoyances. More or less this is the app I've been looking for to help with ADHD as an adult, but feel like I need more precise controls. No ability to control what kind of push notifications I get, just one on or off switch. No ability to start a one-off routine right when I need it, like maybe to track the routine I need to follow before I leave the house in order to an errand. Everything has to be scheduled. And no way to review past routine runs to check where you went over and where you might want to add time.

I love the UI, very well crafted. I haven't been able to fully try the app yet but from just clicking around after downloading it I've found two things I would love to see changed. The first being to allow me to select a 24h clock instead of the standard 12h (AM/PM). The second is to allow me to create tasks without adding an image, or at least to let us choose some of those icons you guys use in examples instead of forcing me to choose pictures from my phone gallery. :) Would help alot

Love this app but it could use some improvement. The app is very thoughtfully designed and has helped me build routines that I haven't been able to otherwise. I hope the developer will consider these improvements 1) If I accidentally hit the back button on my phone, it takes me out of the routine without asking first, 2) I wish it would use an alarm rather than push notifications, 3) if I'm in another app, it doesn't give me the sound cues until I come back, I wish the cues would still go off.

Ugh, if I back out of a routine to see the tutorial or put on music it ends it! That's incredible frustrating- no way this is usable as is. Also, enabling the sound doesn't make it notify me audibly when a task ends. These are ADHD basics. I loved the concept on the kids tracker and couldn't wait for this version, but it's not there yet.

I tried this and Routinery, and Brili is just so much better for creating a routine with ADHD. It has more options than Routinery and I find that it just makes sense (for me). It definitely has a better grasp on what foods with ADHD struggle with when forming habits (Habitica doesn't work for me) I'd love to see some better optimization throughout the app but it is clean and functional as is. 4 stars because I can tell it's still in development but it's great and I can't wait for more updates!

I've been using this app since the launch for indigogo backers and I've been very disappointed in how it's nearly unusable on my phone. 90% of the time when I need to minimize the app for any reason, once I reopen the app, it cancels my active routine so everything that morning is lost. So I try to never close it, so if I have to answer a phone call or check my email, my morning is ruined 😤 To add insult to injury, it spams me with notifications WHILE THE APP IS OPEN. So frustrating
