I used to be very active in the Quantified Self community in the past but currently I still follow the Facebook group. As far as I know there’s no app that does a good job at this task.
So it’s 1 click to begin, 1 click for each choice, 1 click to save.
That’s three clicks.
If you have a Google form with a checklist of 10 items and you answer half of them with “yes” (tick them) you have 7 (if we count opening the form and sending the form) clicks instead of 30 (or maybe 25 if if you play with predefined values).
If you know an app that does this better, I am looking.
The main argument I’m making here is that there’s no app out there that really solves this problem well and there’s room for Sandi to create something better than the present options.
I recommend the app warmly, but at the same time I’d be happy to switch if something with better design or features came up. I haven’t found anything as good yet.
Thanks! I didn’t know this was such a developed concept already and that there are so many people trying to measure stuff about themselves. Pretty cool. I’ll check out Quantified Self and what’s linked.

Here’s another app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zagalaga.keeptrack
I think that app also suffers from there being to many clicks if you have a bunch of values to track.
I think it would be unusable for my morning tracking because I have to make 3 clicks for every yes/no checkbox.
It reminds me of the story that when Jeff Bezos told his engineers to do 1-click buying they came back with a solution that took 4 clicks.
That’s incorrect if I understood right. Here’s how I use it:
Click reminder notification (or tracker-specific shortcut) to open
Click yes or no (you can have multiple of these in a single tracker)
Click save
So it’s 1 click to begin, 1 click for each choice, 1 click to save. There’s also support for input fields and lists with predefined values.

I probably explained badly. You can have 10 yes/no questions and fill half with 7 clicks using this app. It works exactly like the example you gave.
Is this what the paid “Multi value” feature does?
Yes.
I recommend the app warmly, but at the same time I’d be happy to switch if something with better design or features came up. I haven’t found anything as good yet.
Is there somewhere where I can see a good demo of how the multi value feature looks like in practice?

I just went through my app list and found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.odk.collect.android&hl=en
