We're close to releasing the next version of Habit List so I thought I'd share some of the new features. While a lot of people love the handwritten font, some people would rather a sans serif, so we've included several font choices. Other additions: export for the data junkies, app icon badge and daily reminders to gently nag/keep you on track, and a passcode lock to hide all of your embarrassing habits : )
Check out the 2x for more detail, and for more updates you can follow us on twitter.
Nice work, great colors and paperesque style! I'd suggest lowering the outer corner radii and perhaps adding a top line to the first items of each category though.
Appreciate the feedback @Jona. Originally designed it as you suggested, but went with the larger corners to more closely match the shape of the iPhone and removed the top line to open things up a bit. I think both make the app friendlier.
@Scott Dunlap Hmm, the larger corners just aren't "iOS-like" at all, making the app fit in less well. I can see where you're going with removing that top line, the problem I'm having is that the headings float around too freely as a result. So if you want to keep the line removed, maybe try to make the heading feel more attached to its category (by moving it slightly closer, etc).
Avenir is very welcome! Not that I didn't like the old font, but Avenir is a big favourite. Looks like some great new features in this release. The rounded corners look nice on the black iPhone(I really like it there), but not so much on the white. Luckily I got a black 5.

@Sil Bulterman Yeah, I'm a big Avenir fan too ... used it throughout the app as well as making it an option for the Today list.
