Strides: Habit Tracker + Goals 4+

A seriously powerful app

I started using this app only 5 days ago, but it’s already making huge differences in my life. I feel that, because of this app, I can really start achieving the goals I’ve been wanting to achieve. This might sound gross, but I’ve always struggled to make sure to brush and floss my teeth twice a day. Since using this app, I haven’t missed it once. I’ve started getting back into reading by setting a daily goal of reading an hour a day. I’ve made sure to be working out at least 5 days a week because of this app. I’ve started journaling at the end of each day because of this app. I’ve set weight goals for myself that I’m tracking, and it even gives a projection for my weight by my goal date based on how much progress I’m making so far.

The app is basically just a daily to-do list, and that may sound super simple, but it’s so powerful. I feel accomplished completing my goals each day, and the app encourages me to stick with it and achieve more. Thanks to Strides, I’m able to form the habits I’ve been wanting to form, and break my goals up into pieces each day, which makes them much easier to achieve. I really just want to say thank you to the developers for helping me better myself and better my life. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to do the same.

Awesome habit/goal tracker.. one issue

Love the apps functions, UI/UX. It has been pivotal in tracking my progress and staying on top of my goals. My only issue and something I think should be changed is the tagging and archive features. I love the tagging feature to organize my goals.. BUT I track daily goals tagged by their month/year and I also track my annual goals tagged as annual/year. BUT in my due today tab the daily goals that have a goal date that is in the past they still appear in the due today tab. First problem, the due today tab should only show you the items that are within the set period of time for the specific goal. For example, I have a goal that is a target number to hit for the period of January 1 -31. On February 1, that same goal was still showing up as due today.

Second issue, to try to fix the first issue I decided to archive the goals that have “expired”, which seems to alleviate this because they no longer appear in my due today tab. BUT when I click the drop down to sort by tags, my January 2020 tag is now empty because I archived those goals. So, it should be possible to archive any and all goals but still be able to sort by their other tags.

Would love to see a solution to this issue, whether it’s the one I described or another one. Thanks! Still absolutely love the app, just a few minor suggestions for optimization.

Sleek, Simple Strides

So I downloaded several different apps of this type of goal-tracker app. I was able to quickly narrow it down to this and one other by virtue of how easy it is to add custom goals and track them. Over the coarse of a month this one has become by far my favorite. It allows me to customize what, how many, how often,and track with an easy swipe left or right. It gives me reminders but doesn't annoy me. I can easily go back to log days I've done (or not) but haven't logged and I can see at a glance whether I'm improving the frequency of my goals. This has quickly become one of my most frequently used apps! Highly recommend for all ages of goal-setters and (hopefully) accompish-ers!
Update: I’ve been using this for about six months now and still think this is by far the best goal-tracker app. I love the personalized goals and being able to look back over the months and see how I’m improving long-term. I’m slowly adding goals and know this app is what is keeping me focused!
