Normally I'm hesitant to buy things before trying them out, but for a buck why the hell not. I'll let you know what I think!

  Awesome, thanks!

    From the first few minutes I used it, I wish there was a simpler way to make "one off" reminders. For instance, I have a hair appointment Thursday, but the only way I could figure out how to make it for a single reminder was to set the start and end date on the same date.

Very nice app. I love the swiping gestures - they allow a very fast interaction with the app. Would love to be able to edit the "checks" (use case: I checked a task by mistake...) would like to see a calendar with the different checks. Good work!

  Can you elaborate on "would like to see a calendar with the different checks"? Do you mean a history chart that shows you how you're doing?

    Yes indeed.

      That's one of the top features coming in the next version!

> This is my first iOS app release. Wow! Color me very impressed. Not only is the app itself fluid, functional, and well-designed, but I'm sure it's the first of many you'll be releasing on iOS. If you don't mind my asking: what resources did you use to learn iOS development? How long did creating this app take you? Furthermore, what did you use for the main webpage? It's very well-designed--I probably wouldn't have clicked-through, otherwise. I haven't had a chance to use the app yet, but I'll let you know when I do :)

  Haha, thanks! I watched the WWDC sessions to learn about the frameworks, features and see the intricacies of Interface Builder. And then spent a lot of time in iOS developer docs, stackoverflow, and cocoacontrols.com. For the website, it was designed in photoshop, and coded using Zurb Foundations, SASS and Skrollr.js. I'll be doing a post on how I got started on iOS and lessons I learnt to help others get ramped up quickly. So look for that in the next few weeks!

I keep hearing that keeping a daily notebook is essential in tracking progress and if you tie into your app that would be a nice feature Can't wait for the android version

  That's definitely a feature I've been thinking about and will be enabling in a future version.
