1. [R4] 3/5 · US Helped me so much!: Helped me manage my executive dysfunction. Its quite severe. I have ADHD but thrive on routines, but ADHD makes it hard. I use routinery everyday, morning, night, and throughout the day for micro-routines. helps me stay on task and make sure I don’t bedrot or forget to brush my teeth. Its been a major tool in my life. thank you! Edit: Recent AI features are disapointing, wish
2. [R11] 5/5 · US Nothing helps my ADHD time blindness more.: It’s honestly life changing.
3. [R28] 5/5 · US Truly extraordinary impact on my life: When I tell you that this application has had a profound impact on my life, that would perhaps be an understatement? Diagnosed ADHD at age 7, never grew out of it. Really struggled in college and early adulthood, had a really bad bipolar crash out and my life has kind of been a mess ever since. Something that is incredibly important for me is routine, consist
4. [R31] 5/5 · US ADHD lifesaver: I’m terrible with routines and like that getting ready is predictable and dependable.
5. [R29] 5/5 · US Clean, simple, and incredibly useful!: I’ve tried so many routine trackers, but this one is by far the best. The UI is super clean and it’s so easy to use. It doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary features. It really helps me stay on track every day. Highly recommend!
6. [R51] 5/5 · US Really enjoyed the app - especially the UI: Saw this mentioned in a YouTube video. It’s a pleasure to use.
7. [R67] 5/5 · US Great planning app!: Super fun and cute!! Also really easy to use.
8. [R85] 5/5 · US Get This App!: Amazing app! And I’ve tried a few. Its simple sleek design makes it easy and fun to use. It keeps me accountable and tracks my progress! It’s like having a routine coach in your back pocket!
9. [R17] 5/5 · US I love this!: I love this app because it helps me get ready better in the morning and helps me stay on task with the timers then I have e enough time to CHOW down my breakfast cause I'm a big back!!!
10. [R19] 5/5 · US Very helpful: I am a very unorganized person and this app helped me have a chill and enjoyable morning. It forces me to stay on track with the timer. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!!
11. [R38] 5/5 · US Cure for Time Blindness: This app is awesome. I used to struggle with mornings, but tracking my time with Routinery has made my morning so much easier. It showed me how my in-the-moment decisions affect how frazzled vs prepared I feel when starting work every day. For example, I noticed scrolling for a little bit longer takes time away from other tasks and makes me feel more rushed. I love that I
12. [R54] 5/5 · US Helpful: Keeps me on task and within a reasonable amount of time.
13. [R72] 5/5 · US Soo ADHD friendly: This app has definitely been a life changer for me. Even though sometimes I only engage in two of the tasks in my routine, still get the applause and the support that I deserve. I can move around tasks. I can change how long how short I want them to be. I can skip tasks. It doesn’t matter. It’s not punitive. What matters is that I attempted to do my routine and I adjusted it acc
14. [R89] 5/5 · US Keeps me productive and on track: I’ve used this app since about 2022 or 2023. I cannot rave enough about it. I’ve shown my friend and they’ve downloaded as well. This is the only app that I would consider paying for the pro version. My only wish is that the reminders would play when my screen is off. It does sometimes and other times it does not. I like the flexibility of changing a routine that
15. [R95] 5/5 · US reliable and simple: as the title says. I’ve been using routinery for the past 5 years and the free version is sufficient for a solid morning & night routine. I love the inhale-exhale moment before starting a routine, being able to have certain tasks auto complete after a certain time, and how flexible you can make these routines. I avoid subscriptions so unfortunately I can only have 2 routines,
16. [R18] 5/5 · US App for Good: App helps with executive function and when used in combination with the companion app Puff, helps slowly and steadily rewire you neurologically for a more focused and productive life. They respect user privacy with opt-in settings. And if you have subscription fatigue, you can purchase a lifetime subscription (worth it). Cannot praise this app enough, it’s a life/changer for healthy
17. [R42] 5/5 · US Great app: It’s perfect. It’s simple, but customizable, and it doesn’t jump at you with ads ever few minutes, and the Premium isn’t that necessary, only if you need more than two lists and like a lot of icons. Nice that it’s not a game, so you aren’t saying you did stuff for no reason.
18. [R5] 5/5 · US Ugh: Every time I finish a routine it starts glitching and the app will take up different amounts of the screen and flip the text like it’s upside down. When I try and click the dine button nothing happens
19. [R44] 2/5 · US Why I don’t really like this app: I kinda liked it at first then at 2:27 am on a school night it just kept setting off my phone even tho the timer was set for 6 am then every time I would get on to it and try to check my things off I froze and wouldn’t work until I fully exit out of the app I hate this app now
20. [R52] 1/5 · US Extremely glitchy: App has been great over the years. I’ve been using it for a while right now and for the past month it’s been extremely glitchy every time I open the app. It says “Routinery is getting an update” even though I’ve already given in an update and there’s no updates in the App Store ,and I have to consistently restart in order to actually get the app to start. Even after updates, th
21. [R86] 1/5 · US (Edited) please fix!: I’ve been using the app daily for over a year, but it is glitching constantly now. Every day it tells me that I’ve already completed my routine when I first open it. It isn’t tracking anymore. Please fix these bugs!
22. [R1] 4/5 · US It’s nice: It’s nice, the only thing is I have to pay for more than 2 routines. But also very helpful.
23. [R27] 4/5 · US AWSOME but…: I love everything about this app the only thing is u can only have 2 routines w/o pro but Yh!
24. [R74] 3/5 · US !!read!!: i love this app because it helps to keep me organized. however, i have to join a membership in order to have more than one routines
25. [R84] 4/5 · US It’s good: I just wish they let you make more than two routines for free. Also it’d be cool if it would give you an option, to change the times automatically instead of manually; if you spent less or more time on a part of a routine. Overall awesome app. 👍
26. [R118] 3/5 · CA It doesn’t work on my Apple Watch: Hi, I have tried multiple times (re-installing) but the app doesn’t connect to my Apple Watch. When I open the app on my watch it doesn’t show routine I’ve set up.
27. [R128] 3/5 · CA Good not great: I’d probably pay for this if it synced better with the apple watch but currently it doesn’t record anything. I’d also like to have the ability to add random non routine tasks because i love having the timer with the task name on the watch app
28. [R130] 3/5 · CA Please fix Apple Watch!: I use my Apple Watch to do my routines everyday and it does not track me everyday unless I open the app and wait for it to sync. Please add a way to use the app on the Apple Watch alone and then check your stats on the iPhone once and a while! Thank you! Really love the idea and it works so well for me! Just really wish the Apple Watch always synced so I could keep my stre
29. [R49] 4/5 · US 4 stars: I love this app, but the only problem is that it keeps giving me notifications about my morning routine even though I've already completed it. · translated
30. [R50] 4/5 · US Really Good App: I really like this app but whenever I was supposed to start my routine the push notifications WOULD NOT STOP!! The first time it happened I deleted the app. The second time I just turned off the notifications in settings. But now I dont know if im going to get up and start my routine with just a standard alarm. Please fix this!! But overall really good app!👍🏾😁🤗
31. [R73] 5/5 · US Game Changer!: I love love love(!) this app. It’s helped me with so many of my daily routines. My only request is please match the volume settings on the phone. The volume on my phone was all the way down and I had turned off notifications, but the “X task is over, move on to …” announcement was so loud that I jumped! 🙀 My other wish is to make the voiceover audio less robotic and more natur
32. [R123] 3/5 · CA No notifications?: Writing this as I can’t find any way to reach support, everything works as intended but the notifications I don’t get any of them, what’s the point of setting all this up to not be reminded at all? Is it a bug or have I not done something right??
33. [R105] 1/5 · CA Battery hog: App has been a big battery hog as it uses close to 20-30% of my battery everyday as timer keep running in background even if I have paused. App has been in similar state for so long and it doesn’t use the latest tools available on operating system. Widget is so old but this app hasn’t introduced any proper widget for timer running. It’s perfect fit for live activity but same thing
34. [R120] 2/5 · CA Battery Drainer: My phone’s battery has been pretty bad after I used it for the first week, even when I turned off the “Screen On” function :(
35. [R58] 3/5 · US Pretty good: Please make the voice and music volume controlled separately. if i turned on the volume of my music, i can’t hear the voice also please improve the quality of the voices, lots of great AI options now the one here is very grating and sounds outdated
36. [R13] 1/5 · US Pale skin is default for emojis: Huge turn off for myself and others who have tan skin. This app does not let you change skin colour of the emojis either. In other apps you can long press hold to swap emojis out for a different skin colour and that’s not an option here. This is why apps use the default yellow skin versus pale Caucasian skin. While it’s not great that is more inclusive than just ma
37. [R98] 4/5 · US Support I Need: I love Routinery. I get to incorporate my own Atomic Habits knowing I can use the routines whenever I need them. I just wish the symbols had more representative skin tones.
38. [R9] 1/5 · US App issues: This app is kinda good, however, the option to not automatically go to the next step doesn’t work. Whether I select to have it automatically or not go to the next step, it goes to the next step automatically no matter what. I would rather press play for each step when I’m ready rather than having it go automatically when I select it not to.
39. [R6] 5/5 · US Love this app: It’s a really good app for me especially because I find it hard to actually get up and get things going , but it helps me not only plan out my day but also create good habits that will benefit me in the long run.
40. [R14] 5/5 · US Changed My Life: I am normally not someone who leave reviews. However, I can say confidently that routinely has changed my life. As someone who runs chronically late, it has given me the ability to actually map out how much time I need to do certain things and project accurately what time I can be ready. Even just mapping out things after work and realistically how long they’ll take. 10/10!
41. [R24] 5/5 · US Love this app: I love this app but it has in store purchases but its for extra stuff you don’t really need
42. [R30] 1/5 · US Outrageously priced: Heading said In App Purchase , but the truth is you get one week then it’s $36 a year . F that . Deleted
43. [R65] 5/5 · US Keeps my routine the same: They gave me a notification every time when it’s time to do my routine so like every night and morning I have to do this routine routine and like it will give me this notification sometimes I say I don’t wanna do it and then I say well last year I did bad with my routine and my goal for 2026 I said I want to stay with this routine even if I don’t finish on timeI just
44. [R94] 5/5 · US Persistent notification: This app works for me because it doesn’t let me ignore it! I have to open the app in order to turn off the push notifications that remind me it’s time to start my routine. Hella annoying - but effective, because by the time it’s open, I figure I may as well start after all. Lol. It works. (Tip: it also helps to have a built in grace period at the beginning of the routine
45. [R82] 1/5 · US Not a free app: Just warning everyone - another app that requires a subscription to use anything. Wish they could disclose things like this before you download!
46. [R26] 5/5 · US only scheduling app that works for me: love love routinery, recently picked up this app again after using it a few years ago and decided to try the free trial. only complaint is that i can’t add ‘subroutines’ inside of existing routines. props to the product designers and everyone behind this app for designing something so intuitive and adhd friendly!
