I remember when I was struggling to improve my habits. I used different proprietary applications but to no avail. I used the [Productive application](https://itunes.apple.com/ng/app/productive-habit-tracker/id983826477?mt=8), the [Habit-bull application](https://itunes.apple.com/ng/app/habit-bull-daily-goal-tracker/id1041482672?mt=8), and the [Fabulous application](https://itunes.apple.com/ng/app/fabulous-self-care/id1203637303?mt=8) but yet, I could not get the help I needed. A few months ago, I made a decision to search for a nonproprietary application rather than a proprietary one, and luckily for me, I found an excellent application called **Loop**.

Many users today are struggling to improve their habits. Some go as far as making the same mistake I did by downloading trivial applications. Today, I’ll introduce you to an amazing application that has helped improve my habits, and I believe it will help improve yours too.

#### What is the Loop mobile application?

The Loop application is an open source application that has all the tools needed to improve a user's habits. It was developed by 
[Alinson Xavier](https://github.com/iSoron) a brilliant developer who is stationed in Chicago, IL. The aim of the Loop mobile application is to provide users with the means necessary to improve their habits. Using the Loop mobile application, you'll be able to create, achieve, and maintain your long-term goals. I have used the Loop mobile application for over three months, and I proud to say that the Loop mobile application was developed with professional rigor. The Loop mobile application has a statistic and graph feature which I use in viewing my habit’s progress.

There is a feature to **check** the accomplished task and to **uncheck** unaccomplished task. Let's say I love to juggle early in the morning, and I have created a new habit for it. Then, I juggled on Monday morning, but not on Tuesday morning. Within my juggling habit, I'll check Monday, and I'll uncheck Tuesday. Each day, the Loop mobile application generates your habit score. If you wish to backup your logs, import or export your logs, the Loop mobile application has tools for that.


#### How I got started with the Loop mobile application:

I had used a lot of habit management application in the past, so, using the Loop mobile application was more of the same. The first thing I did was to download and install the Loop mobile application from [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Loop&c=apps), and I proceeded to launch it afterward. I was welcomed with three different slideshows which summarized the Loop mobile application.

 When I was done reading the slideshows, I proceeded to its main page. The main page was without any preloaded habits, and I felt really bad about it. In most applications I have used, the developers make sure that at least one or two habits are preloaded. Since they were no preloaded habits, I had to create a new one. Creating a new habit was simple. There is a plus sign within the Loop mobile application’s main page which Is used in creating a new habit. I clicked on it, and a form popped up displaying four different parameters. Name, reminder, repeat, and questions. These parameters are required to be filled before a new habit can be created.

#### Name:

The Loop mobile application would have been pointless without a means to assign a name to our new habits. While using the Loop mobile application for the first time, I created a new habit, and I named it meditation time. I read a book about a year ago, and the author advised that daily meditation is essential to the soul. Since then I have been meditating ones or twice a week. While assigning a name to my newly created habit I saw a theme feature. At first, I didn't know its purpose until I clicked on it. I noticed that it was designed to provide different label colors to our habits.

#### Reminder:


The reminder feature within the Loop mobile application is amazing. Let's say you wish to perform a routine at a future time but you don't want to forget it, you can simply set the reminder to notify you when that time comes. Like me, I have a lot of habits created already, and I have assigned them to a reminder. Using the reminder feature is easy. Click on it, and provide the information needed.

#### Questions:

To be honest, I was a bit confused when I saw the question feature for the first time. I have used many habit management application, but I have never seen a question feature when creating a new habit. The question feature is really helpful, it allows users to ask themselves questions when creating a new habit. I don't think I have created any habit without assigning a question to it. When the time to perform a particular routine within my habits comes, it displays alongside the question I assigned. 

Using the question feature within the Loop mobile application is easy, and it doesn't require any skills. Let say you have the habit of cooking every day, if you decide to write ”have you cooked today?” within the question fields, your reminder will alert you, and the question will be displayed on your mobile screen.


#### Repeat:

Most of my habits are meant to occur every day, while some are designed to occur twice a week. The repeat feature is where you can decide how many times you require a particular habit to occur. I so much love the repeat feature, because I have been able to alternate between different habits occurring on different days and weeks. 







#### Conclusion:
I have used the Loop mobile application for quite some time now, and I have had a splendid experience, and I wish you to have the same too. Go and download the Loop mobile application and have a life-changing experience
