How is it?

Track your progress and spot patterns.

It’s easy to forget your progress when you’re frustrated. Mood trackers aren’t reflecting the progress you’ve made and diaries need too much attention. How is it? is the quick and easy solution. Simply open, press a button and that’s it.

What is it?

How is it? is the progress tracker for the question you struggle with. Sometimes you start to learn something and you want to keep track of if you have the feeling that you actually progress.

How is it? does not do your weekly review. It is a tool for it to look back and spot patterns. It sums up all the thumbs up you record and subtract the thumbs down. It’s just as simple as that.

It fits to many things

Record your progress with your guitar lessons. At first, you see no positive outcome. It takes time and practice. And over time you feel like you get it.

Stay fit by recording your physical wellbeing. How was your session?

My personal story

When I took the opportunity to step into my first role as a manager, I had a hard time with controlling and interpreting my emotions. The more I have looked into the mechanics of the company, I was mixed with joy, uncertainty, happiness, fear, and anger. I knew that it took time to progress but in that time, I had a hard time seeing it. I needed something that recorded my mood but also showed me that there are more positive moments than negative ones.

How is it? started just as an experiment, but it helped me in hard times to see that I was actually progressing and growing. I hope it does something like that for you.

FAQ

Really just one time payment?

I sell for each major version (like a version 2) but you don’t have to buy it. How is it? is built on the latest standards of Apple’s Swift programming language, so I expect it to last years to come. That’s why it’s so small and looks so standard: it’s intended to last long.

Is there an Android version available?

No, it is iOS exclusive.

Is there a test version available?

No, but you can buy it from the app store and give it back. See Request a refund for apps or content you've bought from Apple. If you do, please consider also writing me some feedback so I can learn from you and improve the app.

Can you include a comment field?

Most of the things you might write down is stuff that you might forget otherwise. When you remember something on your weekly review, you know that this is important.

How is it? is not made for note taking or journaling. It’s to track something quick and easy. There are other apps out there which are better suited for that.
