The link to charitywater.org is broken at the bottom of https://habitify.co/how.html

My advice: Since there's a Mac version Habitify does not depend on mobile device functionality, so it might be worth considering a web version to broaden the potential customer pipeline [I am assuming based on the donation model requiring Habitify to track users' points that there is already a web component].

To me, other advantages of a web implementation are challenging assumptions about users and pulling utility and functionality out from the rituals of programming against Apple's API's and for the constraints of iTunes Store.

Good luck.

Thanks for your advice. I also plan to make web version for Habitify and it will coming soon.

Interesting concept! One thing to mention, "remaining" has been spelt incorrectly in your iOS screenshots (at least in Notification Center) and is currently spelt as "remainning". This is both on the website and App Store.

ohh, thank you for mentioning me about incorrect word. I will edit it in next version.

Really cool idea! Would love to check it out. One concern I'd have is: how are you guys funding this? How can I trust that you will be making the donations that you claim?

Charity donation is a small additional feature on out app. We will convert your points into cash and donate them directly to charity: water. The point to money conversion rate is still small, because we are not a charity organization and we dont go fund for it. Total points, total money after converting are appeared on our app, our website and our profile on charitywater.org. Then you can easy to check it.
