## Routinist Description
Routinist helps you achieve goals and build habits by scheduling time for them as part of your everyday routines. 

***WHY***

I built Routinist because I got tired of having excuses for why I wasn’t taking action on my goals: I don’t have time... I’m too tired… I forgot… etc. Routinist eliminates these excuses for me.

Becoming a better you is hard. It requires motivation, planning, commitment and execution. Only you can keep yourself motivated and committed over the long term. The purpose of Routinist is to help with the planning and execution parts, so you can improve your health, achieve your goals, and continue becoming a better you.

***HOW***

Step 1: List your typical morning routine actions and estimate time for each action. This can be super simple (get ready for day for 45 mins), or as detailed as you like (floss 1m, brush 3m , shower 10m, shave 5m, etc.).

Step 2: Enter your desired sleep and Go Time (the time you need to leave for work).

Step 3: Add new actions (those small steps towards your goals like flossing or exercising) and their estimated time, and insert them into your routine.

Routinist uses this info to remind you when to wake up and go to bed so you have time for your routines and get the sleep you need. Take action during the time you most control: your mornings and evenings. Routinist removes the ‘when’ so you can focus on the ‘what’.

***WHAT***

• Build morning (and evening!) routines
• Wake up and bed time reminders
• Understand your time constraints and prioritize
• Reduce decision fatigue
• Routines sync with your Apple Calendar!
• Optimize your routine: tweak the time, order and frequency of actions for any routine any time (yes – even during an active routine)
• Complete actions, skip actions, and undo skip/complete as needed
• Continuously updated routine completion times
• Timers & notifications for each action
• Apple Watch! Complete, Skip, Pause & Resume from the notifications on the Apple Watch or iPhone notification center
• Flexibility: schedule actions on certain days each week or every x days, x weekdays, etc.
• Progress Tracking for a birds eye view of your progress
• Detailed History of every routine 
• Dark Mode
• 120+ action ideas with suggested times

***WHO***

You.

Routinist is probably very different from any other app you’ve tried, and it takes some getting used to. But I strongly believe this unique approach to achieving your goals will make your life better.

“Anyone can list out their goals, but they will be quickly abandoned without the help of an app like this… No other goal app compares to Routinist. Worth the time to learn.”

“This app enabled me to establish a regular morning routine for the first time in my 45 years of life.”

“If you have different times for leaving to work/school everyday but similar morning tasks this is perfect. It is worth the time to try it.”

"Your app has enormous potential in helping others reach theirs."

***WHEN***

## Routinist Reviews in United States

### *---- "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.
-- EmeraldxIce, 2024-12-12

### *---- "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.
-- Lightsoulx2, 2024-08-11

### ***** "A great help for the time blind"
I was looking for an app like this for a long time before I found this one. I was even looking into learning how to create apps, just so that I could have something that would work for me. Fortunately, I found an app that does exactly what I need in order to manage my time well. 

Of all the time management apps that I’ve tried, and I tried a lot, this is the only one that works backwards from the time you need to leave the house, and depending on how long each task takes, tells you when you need to get up.
-- britneeb82, 2024-07-28

### *---- "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.
-- rewing, 2024-07-27

### ***-- "Lovely abandonware"
I love this app, but there is NO WAY it is worth $60 per year for an app that does one thing and hasn't been updated since the Covid pandemic.
-- Cranifraz, 2024-06-13

### ***** "Really helps me time block my morning"
The other reviews have led me to believe that this app is no longer being actively supported by the creator (who, if I recall correctly, also has ADHD and I assume has lost interest/motivation for now in favor of a new project). That’s the only thing that has prevented me from getting the paid version, as I find this app much easier to use than other routine/time-management apps I’ve tried. Fortunately, the lack of updates has not interfered with this app’s functioning at all, and I definitely recommend it!

I only wish I could add additional routines (something that’s available in the paid version), and I kind of wish the bars extended to visualize the extra time spent when I go overtime on a task. I also wonder if timer circles would work better for me rather than timer bars/lines. However, I love that even in the free version you can enter up to 15 tasks and that you can constantly move those tasks around or edit them when you need to change things up from one day to the next.
-- justadollop, 2024-06-06

### **--- "Premium doesn’t work"
I pay for the Premium plan and don’t have access to my Other Routines. Keep saying I don’t have Premium. I restore my purchase and it continues to say I don’t have it but i pay every month.
-- EOOW, 2023-10-07

### ***** "Best app for ADHD"
This app helps me so much! I am now not always late. I would not live as well as I have been without this app lol. That is not a lie. This app has transformed my time management skills.
-- Squeekysneakers, 2023-08-21

### ***** "One of my longest-running and all-time favorite time management apps"
I have been a premium subscriber for years and Routinist is one of my all-time favorite apps! There are so many organizational and productivity apps on the App Store, but none of them work for my needs quite as perfectly as Routinist does. The ability to start with my departure time (in the morning) and work backwards to the start of my evening routine (while also calculating the time for sleep and everything in between) has been a game changer for me. I hope this app never goes away!
-- Kristen524, 2023-04-10

### ***** "Help button is helpful!"
I just wanted to say, that help button is helpful! In the tutorial says that you did like worked really hard on it, so I see where I’m coming from. Anyways just know that your help button is helpful!
-- Mr.wister, 2023-02-23

### ****- "Like it but no more active support"
The developer does not respond to emails and the app has not been updated in years. It’s a solid app with no glitches or anything but things and situations change and app developers need to accommodate.

For example I would like to see an option for a toggle in routines to auto complete tasks. This is helpful if you just need the notification beep too know when to switch to the next task but are unable to actually go in the app and check off the item. Examples: cleaning, shower routine (basically any hands free tasks) 
Sad it’s not an option
-- MairienL, 2023-01-27

### ***-- "Free app okay; Upgrade at own peril"
Update on Dec 13, 2022: Review stands. No new updates from developer. Free version good for what it is. I advise against upgrading.

The free version is excellent to give you a “taste” of how an app like this can help.

I upgraded to premium before the subscription model and I’m grateful I did. As of iOS 16, the app continues to work as described: The app is buggy and has not been updated in 2+ yrs - appears to have been abandoned by the developer. If the developer updates the app, I’ll update my review.
-- Gonzo-the-Great, 2022-12-13

### ****- "Great tool, but a little dated"
I have been using this app for the last several years. I love it for several reasons. One thing that I really like is as items are completed or skipped routine, your completion time is automatically updated. This is key when you have a target time to complete your routine. Also, most people confuse habits with routines. Make no mistake, this is not a habit tracker. This is a routine completion app.

Other nice things about the app is that you can skip the order of the items within the routine on the fly. Many of the other routine apps require you to go in a set order. It’s your choice how you want to do that in this app.

The one thing that I really wish would be if the author updated the user interface. It looks like one of the first version apps. It really needs to be freshened up to match the more modern user interfaces of so many other apps. If the author did that, I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.

But trust me, if you’re looking for a routine app, look no further, this is the best one out there by far!
-- iPhoneZombies.com, 2022-11-22

### **--- "No updates for over a year now"
The time stamp on the App Store says 2 years as last update. Some time in 2020. Will also update if app gets updated again.
-- skinny_much, 2022-11-04

### *---- "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.
-- ajhqt, 2022-10-11

### ***** "THANK YOU!"
I’ve been using this app since 2019, and it’s honestly change my life. I really struggle with executive function, time management, etc. This app has made me much more functional & takes all of the stress and guess work out of my morning and evening routine. While I don’t have to think about time management & stuff that honestly doesn’t make sense to me, I can just enjoy my life. Love this app.
-- Katiegravavava, 2022-01-29

### ***** "Every Morning"
I use this EVERY morning to keep me on track and help me get out the door on time. I love the checklist style and being able to tick off each of the boxes as I complete a task. The tasks are also very easy to rearrange as needed. I also like that I can see an updated time at the top of when the routine will finish. Seeing that calms me and I can focus on the task at hand.
-- EBNash99, 2021-12-05

### ***-- "So good….but I’d like a few more functions"
I love this app and I’m happy to pay the monthly fee ($5) for the pro version. Being able to map out the time all my little tasks take is amazing. And I love how it adjusts sleep times and go times so I can see when I need to do everything. Brilliant! But I won’t give more stars because I need these things….. I would like it to work on my watch….or at least be able to check off tasks. And sync with my iPad as well. Also so far the alarms only go off when my phone is not in sleep mode….which it always is when I’m working on my tasks?…..so that seems silly.
-- Pianomama677, 2021-11-02

### ***** "I’m on time to work!"
I used to never be on time to work and was always 15 minutes late. I was also unable to follow a routine because I kept getting distracted or not being able to decide which task to do next (brush my teeth? Or get dressed?) and then I’d forget things and lose track of time. Now I’ve used Routinist 23 times this month and am learning to manage my time better! 

I am still getting multiple copies of the event on my calendar. I think every time I complete the routine it gets added to my calendar.
-- sonkum, 2021-10-25

### ***** "Wonderful app to keep me on track"
I love this app. The one thing I wish is that it worked with Apple Watch so that I can complete my routine without staring at my phone. 🙂
