Con Expensive
It's hard to understand why the Productive team chose to go with a hefty subscription model to access "all the features" of this app [unlimited number of habits + better reminders]. It's a $14/year for this; there are competitors available without a pricing model like this one.
Con Slow and laggy
The app can be very slow to open and make entries.
Con Looks and UI
Just look at Loop and then this app, this one sucks.
