A lot of my users actually loved the colors. Maybe in the future updates, I can let users choose their own colors. Although, I don't like giving users too many frivolous options, it would depend if I get any more requests for this feature.
>It's a nice idea, but opening an app to record each single change in activity will be a hard sell, even with the reminders (eventually they will annoy you). I think that if it is more effort to enter something than it is to close/ignore it - then eventually it will get ignored.
The reason I left the activities broad and limited the number of activities allowed is because of this reason. I would get pretty annoyed if I had to take my phone out to record every time I went to the washroom, read a blog post or played a game. However, if you broadly categorize those activities, they are all "Chilling" in my view, something unproductive to my goals. So in reality, people only change their broad activities few times a day and not as frequently: sleep, eat, study, meeting and etc. I do plan on making this easier by allowing people to update it via their Apple Watch, Mac and iPhone notification center (I can't do this yet as I still have an iPhone 4, so I can't develop for iOS9- living off of student loan sucks haha).
>A small example I have personally is "Day One" app for OSX.
As you said, one thing I hate about apps like this is that it requires so much effort for me to update it. The idea of updating something everyday is daunting because I have to fill a blank slate. Where as in Annex, all I have to do is touch an option. It would be easier to touch an option rather than touch cancel.
