- [R1] Do Habits Slow, Glitchy App: This app was one of the best habit trackers, but now is just glitchy and slow. It frequently has UI lag and doesn’t respond to user input. And worst of all, I can’t export my data to move to another app because it hangs on the CSV export. I’ve emailed support twice and received no response. I decided to not renew this year. Once a great app, now slow and poorly supported. Recomm
- [R3] Do Habits Lags terribly: I’ve been using this app for years and it’s been helping me keep good habits- I have a streak that’s 47 months long. But it’s been really laggy and crashes a lot lately. It’s disappointing. I’d rather not move to another app but I’m starting to feel like I’m being forced to.
- [R4] Do Habits Does not work anymore at all and just hangs: Since some of the newer updates, for whatever reason the app just doesn’t load anything at all and doesn’t allow me to click or do anything. My iphone is one of the newer models so it’s not an update thing.
- [R9] Do Habits Great app, support needs to be more responsive.: This is an amazing app. I use it every day to track my habits. I love the reporting features which allow me to gauge my progress over time. I've been having some issues with it recently. The app became very sluggish. I need to kill it numerous times to make it work. This is very annoying. I would've given it a 5 star if the support team answered m
- [R7] Do Habits App used to be better: This app used to be perfect, it was simple, tracked anything, and was a one-time cheap payment. Now that they’ve added a ton of unnecessary bells and whistles, this app can be replaced by something better that doesn’t have a subscription requirement. This app should be a tracker and nothing more.
- [R10] Do Habits Scam: I got scammed $149.99!!! I downloaded the Habit tracker app a year ago. Can’t remember how much I paid for it. This January, I was charged $150!!! For a “Growth Bundle” I went to dispute the charge but my Chase credit card wants documentation on how much I agreed to be charged. Of course I don’t have any from an app I downloaded over a year ago! I’m so mad!
- [R16] Do Habits Have to pay twice: I’m still upset over this. I’ve tried contacting customer service a few times over a few months and no response. I paid for the full app a few years ago like others and now I have to pay for a subscription? And then you can’t even reply to my emails about it? Seriously?
- [R17] Do Habits Too manny adds: The app works fine although I have a payed subscription but it keeps sending me “offers to upgrade” certainly annoying.
- [R13] Do Habits Had High Hopes: Had some issues with the app, reached out to support, never heard back. Very buggy syncing with Apple Heath.
- [R6] Do Habits Almost perfect: It’s a good app but I wish they had a way to show more habits in the widget or let us choose which ones show up
- [R8] Do Habits Simple App: Wish it had a monthly habit option :/ very simplistic app, not the most customizable.
- [R11] Do Habits App is great, widget can be more customizable: Really great habit tracker. Only wish that there was a bigger widget that allowed for more habits. Or that the widget allows you to pick which habits to display.
- [R21] Do Habits I want to love it, but don’t: Missing some simple features (that reminders has): why can’t we just click on the widget to mark something as complete? Why can’t we click on the notification to mark as complete? Why is the order of the tasks constantly resetting? You have to be ahead of them to be differentiated… otherwise, why would we pay? Until some changes happen, I’m switching to another optio
- [R52] Flora There are other options but Flora is my favorite: I have been using Flora since at least middle school on and off and I love it, (I’m now a freshman in college.) I always focus too much on the aesthetic setup of studying, and end up spending more time looking at cute backgrounds than studying. Flora makes task organization in general so simple and it’s an easy way to access a green fundraiser, giv
- [R55] Flora Focus: I’m a freshman in college and I’m always getting on my phone while I’m studying or doing assignments. This app has literally helped me get so much done and it has a little warning on the screen of the app about getting off your phone every time you open your phone out of habit. It’s also so cute cause you grow a tree and it actually plants trees in real life if you don’t get out of the app.
- [R57] Flora Good focus app: very cute study app. motivates me to keep focusing.
- [R60] Flora Beautiful concept: I’m getting twice as much work done, if not more. It’s worth every penny, especially when I bet myself real money, you don’t pay unless you break your promise basically. lol works for me!
- [R69] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar Great time management tool: Great product to keep you on track and focused on the task at hand, and to monitor non-priority tasks. That function alone is worth it. The bonus is the focus and built-in timer to track your focus time on a task. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for time-management tools.
- [R71] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar Love this app: Fabulous task manager. Allows for categories and subcategories, repeating, custom due dates, detailed notes. Priority and timing alerts. Sorts logically. Allows manual sort. Lots of shortcuts if that’s your thing. I use it to manage work tasks (over 1000 repeating annually) and it keeps me on track, sorted and focused on the priorities. I tried To Do once my org moved to that. Not
- [R73] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar Helps organize every aspect of my life: I use this app for personal, work, and school. I love the ability to rank importance and schedule a time for tasks.
- [R77] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 10/10!: I have been looking for a planning app for what feels like ages. None of them had everything I needed until now. I’ve been using this app for about a month and it’s been game changing. It’s customizable, but not overwhelming. I am a full time student and full time office manager. This app has helped me organize school work, plan todos, track habits, set timers for studying, plan for my hob
- [R61] Flora Helps stay off phone: I need the incentive.
