Do yourself a small favor and mention in the description that it's a paid app AND has in app purchase for key features. I don't know why you would do that combo, but in any event it should be mentioned that you aren't buying he whole app. It would be interesting to compare results on free plus in app vs paid(full price) vs. what you are doing now paid(+in-app purchase).

@surfy so the idea is: $1.99 gets you access to create your morning routine,and track them with stats ie the original app,v1.0 - now in v2.0 you can add unlimited routines for a buck, which I think is fair. developers have to eat and pay their rent like everyone else 😸
Scott Entwistle
@londonrom I agree with mark, it's not that you don't deserve money, it just feels deceitful. When you buy a paid app like this, you expect to have bought all the features. That's why you paid. To get hit with an additional charge inside after just buying it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Just make the app a dollar more expensive up front if you want the added revenue

@scawtent thanks for your feedback!I'll consider it.

@londonrom That's great. Eating is great. I totally endorse eating. Now tell everyone up front in your description that you want to eat and it's going to cost extra. The app is really $4 not $2. The unlimited routines add-on were $2, not $1. I can't believe I'm actually spending time on this and telling you that you don't know what you are charging for your product. Someone shoot me.

@groupfire thanks, this was an error and I just corrected it in itunes connect. The final 3 days to get the app update were crazy 15 hours days and I must admit that was not set up correctly. Once again thank you for pointing this out and please no one shoot this nice person!

Very very similar to my https://tinygain.com/ that was featured few days ago, just with less features.

@thehashrocket @ziggycrane not yet! I only know SWIFT for now 🙃
Jason Shultz
@londonrom @ziggycrane Hey that's cool. You're a solo developer. I understand that. :)
Mark Surfas
@ziggycrane looks great - when will the iOS version be released?
Louis Svugr

After reading the Miracle Morning book from Hal Elrod, I decided to implement a simple routine each morning but struggled to be consistent and setting 6 alarms on my iPhone was just not practical, so I coded an app for it. After 7 months of gathering feedback on the morning rituals MVP, I was able to launch Morning Routines 2.0 yesterday. It's all coded in SWIFT and was my first big app project from scratch; I have learnt so much along the way and met great people. A few days ago, the app was trending on the appStore and reached top #14 paid app in the US, and top #2 in the health and fitness category! A big part of this success is due to Product Hunt and you, the users, who gave me brutal, honest, intelligent feedback. Thank you Product hunt Community for helping me along the way, you guys rock!

The first question coming up to mind is, do I really need an app to take a shower and drink coffee?:) :-D
Romain
Maker
@aramiggs if you don't want to stay 30 min under the shower and be late for work + implement 10 min of daily meditation, then maybe! if you read the Slight Edge, the compound Effect or the Miracle Morning, this is the tool to help you implement small consistent habits that are easy to do, but also easy not to do.
Aram Shahinyan
@londonrom so you mean I need to read books and install apps to determine how much time I need to spend in shower?
Bas Grasmayer
@aramiggs @londonrom It's probably a useful read to become more conscious about exact rituals and design them better.
Romain
Maker
@aramiggs it's more about forming good habits and tracking them, i.e. meditation, quick workout, read 10 pages, gratitude etc..
Wojtek Nosowski
I was looking for this exact app mechanics a while ago. Thank you!
Romain
Maker
@outhipped Great! let me know how you're doing after a few days of use!Thanks for downloading!
Wojtek Nosowski
@londonrom Any chance of adding alarm clock as core functionality? This way I don't have to remember to launch the app everyday, sleepy and all.
Romain
Maker
@outhipped you can set daily local notification reminders for your different routines already, swipe the notification from your lock screen to open the right routine. Is that what you meant?
Wojtek Nosowski
@londonrom As "morning routine" is the main use case it would make sense if the countdown would start at the moment i wake up. Now i have to set up alarm clock app then remember to launch your app every time i turn off my alarm clock (in different app). If I would see that the countdown starts the moment i turn off my clock id be more motivated to proceed with my routine.
Romain
Maker
@outhipped you can add reminders(alarm) for each routine so your phone will tell you it's time to do your routine, then hit start when you are ready to begin.

Still not on Android...
Ziggy Crane
@valdecarpentrie https://tinygain.com is on android. And you don't necessarily have to create routines yourself, you can see what community are doing.
Cody McLain
This looks very helpful. Congrats to the maker! :)
dklimkin
Cool and simple 👍🏻
oty
i have just finished reading the miracle morining, and this app looks very helpful +1
Romain

@otymix perfect! I hope you will find it helpfull.Please let me know how to keep making it better and what features tou'd like to see in version 3!i
Paul Anderie
Why is it not available in Germany?
Elizabeth
Eh... Seems doomed with the ceteris paribus fallacy-based UX. and what's with the collection of motivational speeches on the website? Are those in the app, or are you just trying to sell potential users on the idea of being more productive in life generally?
Romain
Maker
@elizabethhunker the videos are curated to give routine ideas, handpicked from successful people. I believe there is a common point to all of them : good, consistent habits.
James Shamenski
This morning, I totally forgot to take a shower, eat and have coffee. This is exactly the app I need!
Romain

@gladrobot how forgetful! glad you had time for the Gym though! 😂
Xander Schultz
I love apps like this. I used to use Lift (now Coach.me) for this purpose. I hate having my Wunderlist all jammed up with my recurring habits.
Romain
Maker
@steve__gertz thank you!
Wojtek Nosowski
@londonrom the app stopped working for me. I cant launch my routine as it shows no progress. Kinda dissapointing.
Romain
Maker
@outhipped Sorry about that, my fault. make sure 'sunday' is selected on your habits, I'm working on a fix this week.
Rashid Gilanpour
I'm super excited to try this. Thank you!
Ruurd Pels
Looks nice. But in-app-purchases makes it a no-go for me.
Leslie Purchase
@londonrom cool product. Mostly impressed with the way you handled some of the negative comments on this thread. Your ability to implement the useful feedback without getting lost in the weeds is solid.
Romain
Maker
@lputhenp Thank you! version 3.0 is coming soon ;) shhhh

Only for iPhone? C'mon, son! I needed an app like this for Android. 😢

@muygalan sorry bro!
Kwabena Boateng
Would you consider adding an export feature so users can get access to their data?
Romain
Maker
@kwabboateng interesting request, I am still wondering how people can share their achievements and add a bit more gamification btw! I'll keep that in mind for future improvements. In what format would you like the export?
