1. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

   Still having problem restoring purchase. After clicking restoring purchase button, the app tells me purchase has been restored, but still unable to access premium feature after that, please fix, unsubscribed for now, otherwise this is one of my favorite apps for productivity!

2. ★★★★★abandoned by the developer, no updates for years

   Abandoned. A solid one star unfortunately. I love it and have used it for years but the functionality diminishes regularly. I’m disappointed because I’ve tried every single routine app out there and this one was exactly what I needed. Premium no longer works and the app has lost a lot of its shine. It crashes on several screens and because you can’t upgrade, it’s not worth a lot anymore. If the developer would come back it would be a five star app again.

3. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

   CHARGED WITH NO PREMIUM BENEFITS. I love everything about this app and have had for over 7 years. It was so helpful to where I really just lean on it periodically, like when I incorporate a new routine or use as a reset when I feel a routine needs tweaking. Even though I take long breaks from it, I still happily paid the premium of what was previously $2.99 a month, because I believed in it. So imagine my surprise when I access the app and it tells me that I do not have a premium subscription, which is now $4.99. It’s not the increased cost that bothers me. What’s concerning for me, is that I have still been charged $2.99 monthly by Routinist for at least the past year. This charge has appeared on my Apple receipts monthly, and as of today, the monthly charge of $2.99 appears on my subscriptions page in the App center. So yeah, Routinist has charged me $3 a month for NOT having a premium account. For at least a year not even joking.

4. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

   Abandoned. Agree with this: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. THE DEVELOPERS HAVE APPARENTLY ABANDONED THIS APP. MY PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION NO LONGER WORKS AND CANT BE RESTORED. IVE CANCELLED IT. I even cancelled my subscription and then started it up again. The premium functions worked one day and then stopped again. This app should be removed from the App Store.

5. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

   Paying for premium, told I’m not paying for premium. I’ve been using this app for a while now. Suddenly, I’m being told I have a limited number of actions available unless I pay for premium. But I already pay for premium. I’ve tried restoring the purchase and re installing without success. I don’t want to cancel the subscription but I’m paying for nothing at the moment.

6. ★★★★★app crashes and won't launch

   App keeps crashing!. Every time I hit a button, the app crashes.

7. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

   PAYING FOR PREMIUM BUT FEATURES DONT WORK. Please fix this I love the app but am going to perk unsubscribe if I am not getting the premium features. Not sure if this is tied to the price increase as my apple account for some reason still shows I’m paying $2.99 vs $4.99 per month. It looks like $2.99 may be the only option according to apple’s options. I “Restore Purchase” but it doesn’t actually let me add any new features and says I’m not a premium member despite my cc and bills still showing I’m definitely paying for it.

8. ★★★★★abandoned by the developer, no updates for years

   Lack of updates and support makes this app a joke. I used to rely on this app all the time to get me through my routines. Now, it hasn’t been updated since August 2020. The developer went M.I.A. for a year and a half after I emailed him back in early 2019 regarding a major issue I was having. The app is functional, but it crashes at times as well if you try to check off something that lasts 0 minutes. Also, having a Watch app for this would be extremely beneficial and competing apps have already made Watch apps for their own apps. Why would anyone pay a hefty price of $5 a month for an app that has nonexistent support? Absolutely infuriating.

9. ★★★★★abandoned by the developer, no updates for years

   Offering app as a subscription with no updates in 6 months?. Am I a joke to you?

10. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Hate the UX, rough onboarding.. It took me a really long time to find out how to edit routine times. It's not at all intuitive and was extremely frustrating. I nearly gave a one star and got a refund. Decided to give it a second chance, eventually found the settings I needed. The design is cumbersome on the eyes, the help icons overlap and are cluttered making it not clear what's even being discussed. The onboarding says a concept is important but not where or why or that that's where the settings are. I like the concept, but I'd being lying if I said I didn't want to scream right now. Lowering my rating after it spammed my calendar with over 20 events per day for more than a year, with no way to bulk delete events.

11. ★★★★★go time only fits morning routines, not shift work

    “Go Time” is A.M. only.. It’s completely useless for shift workers like me. Would have been interesting to see how it works, but sticking with TickTick, which seems more flexible and functional.

12. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Confusing!!!. I would like a full refund please. It’s way too complicated

13. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Not intuitive. This thing is taking way too long to figure out. Nothing works like it should. I have ADHD and I don't have the attention span to get this to do what I need it to. Also... Only 15 actions are allowed before paying. Not for me.

14. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    This app needs a real tutorial. It looks like this app might be useful...if you can figure out how to use it! Unfortunately, it does not take me 2 hours to get ready for work, but I can’t figure out how to tell the app that. Please put a real “how to use this app” so we can see if it is worth the $4.99.

15. ★★★★★other

    Totally useless. “Free” version is uselessly limited

16. ★★★★★abandoned by the developer, no updates for years

    Sub-par functionality. Functionality not there yet, needs some updates.

17. ★★★★★app crashes and won't launch

    Doesn’t work. This app doesn’t work!!!

18. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Very difficult. My settings keep changing and hard to navigate

19. ★★★★★paid for premium but features stay locked

    Don’t buy premium. I was an early adopter of this app and purchased a premium account. I decided to start it up again after telling a friend about it, and the app will not validate my premium account. I checked my purchase history and verified that I did indeed purchase the premium content. I am extremely disappointed.

20. ★★★★★other

    I Didn’t try this app $2.99 a month for full version. I didn’t try this app. I wanted the full version because I was already satisfied with everything it offered. I thought this app would be worth four or five dollars. This app is a joke $2.99 a month. This isn’t for me. Developers when you decide to make it a one time fee, I will change my review and purchase.

21. ★★★★★app crashes and won't launch

    Broken. My app crashes every time I try to launch it. I use this daily and it is affecting my life. Please come up with a solution to this bug other then me deleting and reinstalling since I’m sure that means I’ll lose my schedule

22. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Hire a designer. An good concept for an app does no good if you don’t bother to actually design it well.

23. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Complicated. Very complicated with limited instructions

24. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Confusing. I couldn't make any sense of this app, the directions weren't very clear and I had trouble using it from the start. Its a daily routing app, it doesn't have to be so complicated.

25. ★★★★★go time only fits morning routines, not shift work

    Great concept poorly executed. Would be a great tool for ADHD...if I had the patience to fiddle with the overly-complicated interface. It's also completely unusable if you work nights since the "go time" can only be set to A.M.

26. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Weird. Not user friendly. The app is...strange. It's confusing to set up and you only get 15 actions before having to pay $8.99 for more. It's not user friendly, even the Help button didn't explain things well. The strangest app experience to date.

27. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    NOT user friendly. Like, at all. I love the idea but this isn't fully functional just yet. I couldn't even figure out how to edit the time. And yes, I did the tutorial and used the ? button. Keep working on it!! Uninstall for now

28. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    Really wanted to like it. I really really wanted to like this app. It's exactly the concept I'm looking for but it was just not user friendly at all. Great concept but execution is thumbs down sorry.

29. ★★★★★confusing interface with no clear tutorial

    15 item max?!. Interface is way over complicated and busy. Then when I took the time to learn that, I begin adding in my tasks and it won't let me exceed 15! For some reason Habit Clock went away. If someone, anyone could restore that- I'd pay $20 to use it again. Why not just make an app that you can add in as many tasks as you need, it times you on them, you click "complete" or "skip", then hit "done" when you're done? Adding a million little timers and calculators and charging $8 for extra lines (and to set it to repeat the following week or specific days) is ridiculous. Already deleted it.

30. ★★★★★app crashes and won't launch

    Was not good. I kept making it remind me in the morning but it was reminding me at 10pm. It was confusing and only let me put one part of my routine down. This was very disappointing and it kept crashing.
