What I Know Best - Bhaskar Roy (Chief Product Officer at PlayPhone)

@kaz who made this? I mean, I found the founders' names in the press kit but why did they build this? How did you find out about it?

Habit List was built because my to-do lists and calendars were getting cluttered with repeating items, so I went in search of an app to take care of them. I didn’t find anything that did exactly what I wanted. Many would track your streaks, but only for items you had to do every day. So if you wanted to workout every M-W-F, when you didn't complete your habit on Tuesday your streak would be broken. Not very motivating. Also, I found that a lot of apps had way too much clutter, and simply listed all of your habits in a long list. So you’d have to go through them all and figure out what to do. Every day. Why show your M-W-F workout habit on the weekend? I easily lose focus if I run into resistance, so we worked hard to minimize decision fatigue.

Definitely downloaded the app today. I DO NOT pay for apps, but the simplicity and UI drew me in. Great work!

@isiojeabulu @dunlap_scott I was just talking to someone about this. App developers clearly deserve payment for their hard work, but there are so many crappy apps, and we've all been burned before. It's hard to know ahead of time which one app N+1 will be. Curious if you've thought of a "trial period" before you buy? Or do you have any thoughts more generally on why try-before-you-buy seems so prevalent outside the App Store, but seems almost non-existent in mobile?

@staringispolite We have thought about it, and may go that route someday. Apple doesn't offer a true trial option; I wish they did. But for our app, we could limit the number of habits for the free version, and offer IAP to unlock unlimited habits. We're pretty confident that sales would increase. So why haven't we done it yet? One reason is support. Currently we spend about an hour a day on twitter and support emails (and, this time of year we're busier because of new years resolutions). We've heard we can expect a massive increase in downloads if we go free, anywhere from 10x - 50x. While I don't expect support requests would increase proportionately, it would be significant. We're a small 2-man team, and like being able to spend most of our time on product development. So, we'll see. If we go that route I'd be happy to share how it works out.

Been a huge fan of this app for a long time. Love that you can specify a habit to be say 3 times a week or twice a month etc rather than every day - attractive interface & responsive developers. Glad to see it on PH surprised it wasn't already.
