This is my first iOS app release. There were a million features I wanted to get in, but I'm ecstatic about the feature set that made it in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

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!

Awesome, thank you!
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!
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.
