On my forever hunt for an app that makes medication tracking flexible and seamless, because I will frequently lose track of what time or day it is, and trying to remember which of my medications I have taken that day is a challenge. Enter the idea of using NFC tags to scan medications as I open the bottle! Streaks is compatible with NFC tag scanning by way of co-programming using iPhone’s shortcuts, and as long as you have Streaks open 24/7, everything is great. Alas for me, I constantly close background apps in a quest for decent battery life and reduced visual clutter, and if Streaks is not open, the shortcut will fail to log activity into Streaks 100% of the time. Honestly I’m confused by this as 1. Streaks is more than capable of running reminders and task tracking settings within the Streaks app, with the app being closed, 2. Shortcuts are able to create entries in other apps without them being perpetually open and 3. Shortcuts has steps like “open app” available for programming, which would solve my main issue, except Streaks isn’t an option there.Glad this app is an one time purchase vs constant subscription fees, but it doesn’t meet my needs for the singular, explicit function I bought it for. I think it’s a good app, just not for me (yet.) Hopeful in the future to see a fix or enhancement that allows an iPhone shortcut to engage with Streaks while it is not actively open.
