\"Coach.me<\/a>I’m just over two weeks into my Habit Tracking Face-off and my thoughts are becoming clearer about what I want in a habit tracking app. While\u00a0I started this journey<\/a> because of the demise of the\u00a0Full<\/a>\u00a0app I’ve realized that all things happen for a reason. In retrospect, Full wasn’t going to do what I really needed…so the change in Full’s status gave me the impetus to look at other solutions. It turns out this is\u00a0exactly<\/strong> what I needed to do.<\/p>\n

In my last post<\/a>, I discussed Momentum<\/a> and prior to that I reviewed\u00a0Way of Life<\/a>. In all fairness, I’m pretty close to settling on Way of Life as my habit tracker, but I decided to complete the reviews of all the habit trackers. These reviews may help you make a decision as to whether you want to track your habits, and if so, what solution might work best for you.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, eleven month ago I discovered the Lift app on my iPhone. It was a simple habit tracker that allowed me to set the habits that I wanted to promote, track my progress on when I accomplished those habits, and quickly see where I was succeeding and where I wasn’t. At the start of 2015, I wrote a blog post<\/a> about how I was using Lift…which had just been renamed Coach.me.<\/p>\n

Over the next few months, I continued to use Coach.me<\/a> as both an app and at their website, but I slowly became more frustrated with each passing day. As I’ve written before, I want a\u00a0simple<\/em> solution that allows me to set my habits quickly, track them even more quickly, and review them in just a few seconds. I don’t need a lot of outside input. At this point I don’t need (or at least have avoided) an outside coach, and I don’t need a community of folks I don’t know sending me props.<\/p>\n

But Coach.me<\/a> was starting to force those things into my world. As the name implies, they are now focusing on the coaching aspect. It’s a revenue stream, and a huge market. In fact, the one reason that I’ve kept the app around is that I’ve considered entering the coaching world…and Coach.me might be a way to do that.<\/p>\n

But from a daily perspective, Coach.me just wasn’t doing it for me. In fact, I found myself recording fewer and fewer habits. And more importantly, I didn’t record on a daily basis. Frankly, near the end I was barely recording on a weekly basis…and hardly ever reviewing my results. This defeated the purpose for a habit tracker for me.<\/p>\n

So I made the decision to jump to Full. The next day they were part of Coach.me and I was devastated. So my journey to find another habit tracker had begun.<\/p>\n

\"Coach.me<\/a>Coach.me certainly has a place in the world of habit acquisition. I’m sure there are lots of people who would benefit from a coach to help them stay on track with new habits. I had a personal trainer for two months. I got the sessions as a Christmas gift, and I’ll readily admit that I learned more about fitness and working out in those two months than I have over any other time period in my life. I really liked him, and when we see each other socially we have a lot to talk about. But I didn’t really like having to go to a gym. I didn’t feel like the value-added that he provided was worth the money. And I don’t really feel like I\u00a0should<\/em> need somebody to tell me how to work out. I certainly don’t need a cheerleader when I’m working out. So I’m firmly entrenched outside the target market for Coach.me.<\/p>\n

\"Coach.me<\/a>

As far as the app is concerned, it’s gone through a couple of revisions since January. You can quickly swipe right to record the successful completion of a habit. While it takes two touches to\u00a0unrecord<\/i> a habit, it’s not that difficult to do. It takes a couple of taps to review your overall progress for a habit. Oddly, they use orange to represent a streak and green to record when a habit was completed successfully. This makes the displays a bit confusing to me. Orange isn’t a color that I associate with success…it’s just a color. I prefer green for success and red for failure. Of course, all the habit tracking gurus are flipping out because I said the\u00a0F-word<\/em>. We’re not supposed to talk about failure. I guess it’s supposed to be\u00a0success-challenged<\/em> or something. But newsflash, I live in the\u00a0real world<\/em> where we succeed and we fail. I learn as much (if not more) from my failures than I do from my successes.<\/p>\n

It is convenient that you can see your habit results as both frequency per week and frequency per month simultaneously on the same screen. It was a bit weird to me that the habit itself is in a light gray on the top of the screen. While writing this post I got confused as to which habit’s results I was looking at a couple of times. That’s just an aesthetic issue, but it’s one that bothered me.<\/p>\n

\"Coach.me<\/a>
Coach.me Sparkly pop-ups<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You do get a lot of feedback using the app. You get sparkly pop-ups when you have recorded your habits lots of times. You get a hand to high-five when you meet certain criteria. Basically, you get a bunch of feedback that didn’t improve my interactions with the app, and I found distracting. As I said, I don’t need a cheerleader…but the Coach.me app worked really hard to cheer me on despite my curmudgeonly old self.<\/p>\n

So, on the data entry front Coach.me<\/a> is relatively easy. It took me a while to discover that I could swipe right to record a habit. Until you discover that, it appears that you have to touch on a habit, touch on the gigantic checkmark to record the habit, and then on the tiny X to close the screen. That was almost a deal-breaker with the app prior to the other issues I encountered.<\/p>\n

Coach.me is another app that uses the “Don’t Break the Chain” system attributed to Jerry Seinfeld as his main productivity secret.\u00a0The idea is that if you see a chain of successes, you’ll be motivated to keep the chain going. The display is a bit wonky to me though, as the chains aren’t exceedingly \u00a0obvious the way they are shown.<\/p>\n

As of the version that I’m using, there is no way to record that you consciously skipped a habit. That is, if I’m exercising 5 days a week, there are going to be two days a week when I’m taking a\u00a0recovery day<\/em>. Those are really breaks in the chain, they’re consciously decided upon days when I’m not exercising. In Coach.me they appear as breaks in the chain.<\/p>\n

Despite searching, I couldn’t find a way to mark a habit as not-completed. It appears that Coach.me assumes a habit is not completed until you actively complete it. I prefer to mark my habits as either successful, skipped, or failed. That’s a personal preference, but habit tracking is a\u00a0very personal<\/strong> affair, so it’s an important preference.<\/p>\n

\n

Current Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At this point, I’ve given up on Coach.me. It’s not doing what I need a habit tracking app to do. Furthermore, there’s too much\u00a0friction for me. While habit recording is sufficiently easy, reviewing the status of my successes and failures became too onerous and I simply didn’t do it. Another “feature” of Coach.me is a constant stream of e-mails giving you accolades for successful completion of a habit as well as noting how long your current chain\/streak is. Coupled with the multiple daily e-mails advertising coaching services, I was overwhelmed. I know that you can change the settings in the app to reduce the number of cheerleading e-mails and I can unsubscribed to the coaching ads…but that seemed like a lot of work for an app that I was barely using. And definitely not using effectively.<\/p>\n

Despite being in a somewhat whiney mode about Coach.me, I can see use-cases where it might be advantageous for some users. I’m just not one of them. At least not at this moment. I have considered using Coach.me to aid in my writing habit, or my home-managment habit, or other similar situations where I might need a nag…erm, Coach. For now, I’m removing Coach.me from my iPhone and iPad and will create a filter to send the incoming avalanche of e-mails directly into a folder in my Google Mail for later review.<\/p>\n
