To really get good at something you need to do it everyday. Commit helps you form these habits in order to become fit, learn to draw, or learn a language.
For example, if you want to learn to draw, you should practice every day. First add it as a commitment, then Commit will track each day you practice your drawing. For each day it increases the "Days in a row" count. If you miss a day it resets to 0.
Eventually as you reach 20, 30, or 50 days in a row that count becomes the motivation to keep going each day. By being consistent you will improve much more quickly.
Here are a few ideas you could try:
* Drawing
* Running
* Language learning
* Practicing an instrument
* Programming
* Exercising
* Flossing
* Reading
* Yoga
What will you Commit to?
If your commitment isnt something you want to do every day (like Run), set it to Exercise or Train instead. Then make sure to do another kind of exercise or stretching on your off days. Then you still meet your goals and maintain a good commitment.

Pros and cons of Commit app for iPhone and iPad
Commit app good for
You should make it so if I forget to check mark "yes" on a day I can still check mark it. So I dont lose my streak :(. Kind of so I dont have to Commit to my goal AND to the app everyday.
Highly recommended app if you are trying to kick or form a habit. Super simple, well designed, pleasure to use.
This app was created by Nathan Barry, the founder of ConvertKit and while the app maybe could use an updated UI/UX, there are no un-needed/wanted features. There are a few things you need to do in order to ensure all the features will work correctly but once setup this app does everything, well really the only thing I want it to do: TRACK MY DAILY CommitMENTS.
If you ever forget to mark a day as complete, you can check off to mark the previous day complete. And heres a little pro tip which is contrary to a lot of other peoples reviews: If you ever forget to check off a day that was more than one day ago then you can go into your devices settings and change the date back to whatever day it was that you missed. Once youve changed the date go back to Commit and mark that day as complete. And of course, finish the process by changing your devices settings back to todays date. Its a work around but when using this app on a daily basis Ive only ever had to do this twice and it doesnt take more than a minute or two.
I highly recommend this app for people who want to track things they want to do on a daily basis like working out, writing, reading, studying, etc.
Do you want to CREATE a habit?
Then you need to Commit!
Some bad moments
Cant use horizontally. Locked vertically, as in an iPhone only app.
This app is a great idea, but unfortunately full of bugs. I just downloaded the update and now it crashes as soon as I go to set a time. On both iPhone 4 and iPad 1st gen.
Hope they fix it sometime soon.
Reminders dont seem to work at all for me on ios6. Without reminders this app isnt much good for anything, please fix
I like and use the app, but the reminders are not working properly. I have four Commits set up and am not getting reminders for three of them. The reminders working correctly would help me tremendously.
Sometimes you want to pay for simplicity and this is it. You literally type a few words just like Mad Libs, set a daily reminder time and thats it. There are NO other options, so its very simple and you are buying it knowing this before you spend $1.
My only slight issue is the phrasing... When setting a reminder, itll ask you to fill in the following statement: "I will ___ every day."
I typed "I will TAKE MY VITAMINS every day."
Now, the reminders ask "Did you take my vitamins today?"
Therefore, just remember not to type "my" and the reminders will follow good grammar.
It seems that editing a Commitment creates duplicate reminders, and the uninstall/reinstall dance just ends up creating yet another reminder.
The UI is great but the reminders are buggy. Also, an interval other than daily would be nice.
