Streaks

Turned from somewhat useful (tracks goals but does not reliably show/indicate them on the Apple Watch) to irritating (after latest update, watch complication now constantly shows white background - no go on black watch faces).
Whatever was tried there, it did not work at all…

Kind of disappointed in this app. The widgets don’t update until you tap on them (from both the lock screen and home screen) which defeats the purpose, and my reason for downloading in the first place!

I really want to like this app, and the design/ux is very good indeed. However there are so many bugs with sync in particular; constant double entries / deleted tasks reappear etc. And recently i have to disable notifications for my tasks every day again, because somehow for some tasks they are automatically re-enabled the next day, very annoying.
So potentially a very good app, but please fix the bugs - now it is unusable.

Even though I turned off notifications in both the settings and per task the app still keeps giving either reminders or prompts (not sure which because the feedback is unclear). This is super annoying. It's so distracting that the app is unusable for me.

Why do I get notifications of things I already completed or marked as missed? I don’t get it.
And why is the app so inconsistent and weird? Get an usability designed to look at it. Long presses in the app, single press on the watch?

Zeker tevreden met de app! Wel jammer dat alles samen is met alleen de Apple Watch en niet andere horloges. Dan zou het top zijn!

Great app! Dors what it says it will and does it well.
Easy to use interface far daily use and habit tracking

Wow, very nice and it actually makes me happy.
Nice esthetic, very functional and intuitive!
Keep iPhone 13 the good work!

On the Brilliant.org website they have a streaks function and I found it to be very motivating. So I wanted it for other things and went on searching.
Very carefully made. I don’t see it often with iOS apps that even after a few hours of testing I still get surprised by some wonderful snippets of features and little hidden germs. Bought the Mac app also and goodbye Google Calendar “Goals”..
Edit: seriously tho; it’s a great app, just make sure you don’t torture yourself for missing a streak; just try to make the next streak bigger. Also feel free to set tasks on pause during harder times, be gracious yet encouraging.

Once everything is set up, it works great. But the UI is very strange and takes some getting used to. For example, you have three different stat views per goal you set, plus a different long press action per view. In order to rearrange, you don’t long press like on the Home Screen, you tap the six dots with an arrow?
The design is very convoluted, but it’s not bad. It’s difficult for sure.

Ik heb hiervoor met Kin gewerkt maar die app voldeed niet aan mijn verwachtingen. Wat ik daar echter wel kon was een korte notitie bijvoegen bij het afronden van een taak. Kan dat hier ook?

I feel like it’s very effective in pushing me to nourish my baby habits. There’s a lot of customization available behind the scenes so the app can be adapted to different needs.

In the new update the interactive widgets are gone! Why?! Now I need to open the app everytime I want to start/stop timer en mark a habit done.

Vaak goede voornemens om structureel bepaalde dingen te doen op een dag. En toch vergeet je ze vaak omdat het nog niet in je systeem zit. Met deze app zie je makkelijk wat je nog wil doen. Ook fijn dat je herinneringen toe kan voegen. Vooral water drinken schiet er vaak bij in en ben dan blij met de reminders

Het werkt soms niet...
Ik wil bijhouden het aantal dagen dat ik onder een bepaalde hoeveelheid calorieën blijf.
Ik plan mijn maaltijden in de ochtend in een andere app. Als ik tijdens het plannen het aantal calorieën overschrijd denkt Streaks al dat ik gefaald heb! Zelfs na het aanpassen van de geplande maaltijden past Streaks zich niet aan. Ik moet het dan handmatig bijhouden of ik me er wel of niet aangehouden heb, en dus nog steeds een streak heb.
Streaks moet wat flexibeler zijn en refreshen en automatisch aanpassen na elke wijziging van calorieën in de Health app, op elk moment van de dag. Dan hoef ik dat niet elke keer aan te passen.

The app really helps with reminding you and creating good habits, but why is there a limit of the amount of streaks you can monitor?

This is by far my favorite “habit” app. It’s clean and simplistic design makes it easier to keep track of habits and doesn’t distract. At first I wished for more functions but I later realized I didn’t really need any more than the ones already there.

Easy to use. Not too intrusive. Customisable. Nice widgets
