   Thanks, appreciate the kind words. We really tried to pull back the features as much as possible. We storyboarded complex stats charts, reports, being able to add in data for missed days, etc... but all that adds to complexity and technical

   Thanks - we had discussions about this exact issue. We wanted something that wasn't a checkmark in the icon. We played with another variation for quite some time but it didn't indicate anything related to tasks/completing som

   Thanks! 1a. I find "Regular" todo apps get overwhelming after a point. I know this because I have about 10 different todo lists that currently aren't being completed 1b. The other apps like Streaks I personally don't thi

   Thanks - I hope you get value out of it. Would love to hear your feedback after you've used it for a little while.

   Just looking at that site now and how they pitch their product, I would say the difference is in how specific things are. Their example says "Get fit", whereas in Streaks you would have a task "Walk 5,000 Steps"

   I upvoted you because I think it's good feedback. In actual fact, Apple have just shown their hand with this with the Apple Watch daily goals. It's somewhat similar, yet I think both can co-exist easily. In fact, I use both. Strea

   Agreed, would be nice for an Android version. There were 3 main reasons why it's only iOS (in fact, iPhone) only (for now, at least): 1) I'm the sole developer, so it takes a long time to develop (this was about 3-4 months) 2) I r

    Mainly because of the screen dimensions of most phones. I think the optimal amount is in the range of 4-7 as you point out, but it didn't look quite as nice. You can have less, but it encourages you to keep adding until you have six ta

    I'm the developer: If you have any questions about Streaks I'll be here all day! Edit: For those interested, this is my first app written in Swift, and also my first app using HealthKit. I think HealthKit is pretty awesome and ove

    They don't explicitly give it. You can define your own URL schemes, e.g. hackernews://, and the OS will tell you if a handler for that URL scheme is installed.

    I had to look up the definition of "genuflect": "Lower one's body briefly by bending one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect."

    My biggest pet peeve are the ads that auto-launch the App Store on iOS. Surely this can't be difficult for the ad providers to detect. I wish Apple would auto-ban apps from the App Store using this method.

    Thanks. That issue only started with iOS 8.3, still trying to track down the cause. Very frustrating, since the app hasn't been updated since before 8.3.
