Recurring themes

Performance Issues negative
Many recent reviews highlight severe lag, glitches, freezing, and unresponsiveness, making the app difficult or impossible to use. This directly contradicts the developer's notes claiming 'performance improvements'.R1R2R3R12
Customer Support negative
A pervasive issue is the complete lack of response from customer support regarding technical problems, subscription issues, or refund requests.R1R8R10R12
Subscription & Pricing negative
Many users who previously paid for lifetime access or subscriptions report being forced to pay again for new subscription models, or that their paid features are not recognized. There are also complaints about high prices, misleading 'growth bundle' offers, and constant upsell pop-ups even for paying users.R4R5R10R16
Design & Simplicity positive
Despite the issues, many long-term users and some new ones still praise the app's clean, minimal, and intuitive design, finding it effective for habit tracking.R6R7R19R34
Limited Features negative
Some users desire more advanced features like monthly habit options, biweekly customization, better widget functionality, or a desktop version.R9R11R13R14

Who it's for

This app is for users who prioritize a clean, minimal design for habit tracking and are willing to overlook significant performance issues and potential subscription problems. It is NOT for users who expect responsive customer support, a bug-free experience, or a transparent pricing model R1R2R3R7.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with a recent-negative signal of 0.735, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.04. This suggests a significant decline in user satisfaction recently. The developer's release notes for v4.1.1 claim 'fixed bugs and added performance improvements,' but this is directly contradicted by numerous recent reviews detailing severe lag and glitches. Evidence for positive aspects is primarily from users who appreciate the design, often while still acknowledging the bugs.

  1. [R7] 5/5 · US cleanest design, nothing superfluous: this is the best habit tracking app for ios and apple watch. it’s worth the subscription cost immediately if you want a minimal design with maximal functionality (unit tracking, customizable reminders + schedule) for tracking your habits. i’ve tried many other apps and nothing is as simple and beautiful without missing features.
  2. [R19] 3/5 · US Highly recommended!: Love this app! I’m a list and planning lover. I’ve tried most of these types of apps but this one has been my favorite through the years. It’s pleasant to the eyes, has never given me tech issues, and I really like the extra feature of charts to track productivity. I just wish they had a desktop version too. edit: has become really buggy over time and veeeery slow. I don’t us
  3. [R34] 5/5 · US love this: I only have one habit for this app, but I love the design and the widget as well. Cute and customizable.
  4. [R38] 5/5 · US Absolutely love the minimalism: 10/10
  5. [R3] 3/5 · US 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.
  6. [R12] 3/5 · US 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
  7. [R17] 3/5 · US Recommend but…: Have been using this app for years and can confirm I am now a daily flosser, a daily bed maker, and I never miss taking my vitamins. That being said, the premium version is not cheap, and there’s a weird lag after checking off and item that has gotten worse over time (I assumed because of the amount of data it holds now but could be because it’s simply become a clunky app) and has
  8. [R96] 5/5 · CA Love it: It’s keeps me In line even on basic everyday habits. Very resourceful for living a better life
  9. [R41] 5/5 · US Customizable But Simple: It is rare to find an app that actually impresses me, but Do managed to immediately and is one of the first apps I install on any new phone or tablet. The user interface is simple yet comprehensive, with a variety of options that can be further adjusted by going into the advanced settings below the basic settings. Not overwhelming despite the variety of customization optio
  10. [R67] 5/5 · CA Amazing: I’ve had this app for a week and so far it has changed my life,I love how you’re able to personalize so much in this app and customize it to make the tasks fit into your schedule!!Definitely recommend
  11. [R193] 4/5 · AU More colors please: I have been using this app for a while and upgraded a long time ago. I love it. Could you please add more colors please? I found some of the beautiful colors from previous versions are gone.
  12. [R1] 1/5 · US 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
  13. [R2] 1/5 · US 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.
  14. [R8] 2/5 · US Had High Hopes: Had some issues with the app, reached out to support, never heard back. Very buggy syncing with Apple Heath.
  15. [R10] 1/5 · US 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?
  16. [R16] 1/5 · US Doesn’t recognize my paid subscription suddenly: I actually quite like this app overall, even though it can be laggy. What I very much DON’T like is that several weeks ago, despite the fact that I have an annual paid subscription through late December, it stopped giving me access to premium features like unlimited goals. When I go to create a new goal now, I get a paywall asking me to upgrade to p
  17. [R18] 1/5 · US Don’t do it!!!: I subscribed to this a long time ago through the growth app, it’s been a nightmare ever since. I have been charged twice for a yearly subscription when my subscription doesn’t even exist, I signed up for a free trial so guess what? Somehow I am getting charged but don’t have an account yet? Hmmm…how is that? I have reached out to support to cancel a dozen times and get no response.
  18. [R20] 1/5 · US Paid for upgrade, but it didn’t upgrade: DO NOT USE. Used to be a great app, now it’s buggy and lags. Paid for an upgrade at one point because I like how minimal the layout is compared to other habit apps, it never applied and is prompting me to pay again to upgrade. Waste of money.
  19. [R4] 1/5 · US 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.
  20. [R23] 4/5 · US Too manny adds: The app works fine although I have a payed subscription but it keeps sending me “offers to upgrade” certainly annoying.
  21. [R56] 3/5 · CA Good: This app is very good the one thing I do not prefer is that you can only do 3 habits than having to pay if you want mors habits
  22. [R58] 1/5 · CA money grab: costs money to have more than 3 habits
  23. [R57] 1/5 · CA 3 item limit: You can only put 3 things on your list or else you’re gonna have to pay 24,99$ just to add more.
  24. [R59] 2/5 · CA my opinion: i can only pick 3 and have to pay 30$ for full access for everything when i could js set reminders
  25. [R11] 3/5 · US 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
  26. [R13] 5/5 · US 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.
  27. [R33] 3/5 · US 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
  28. [R14] 4/5 · US Almost perfect: Overall, I really love this app and its tracking features. It’s clean, intuitive, and helps me stay consistent. There are just two things that get a bit annoying: 1. When I’m checking off multiple habits, there’s a small delay after each tap, so I can’t quickly mark several items at once. 2. If I edit a habit (frequency, units, color, etc.), the app automatically moves that habit
  29. [R199] 5/5 · AU i want to see the colours: the fact u can’t see the colour of the tasks in the rearranging bar is lowkey super annoying. also not a major concern but i hate how u can’t have a custom order of task anymore and they automatically go. into daily weekly or monthly. changing that to be an optional sorting choice would be great.
  30. [R5] 1/5 · US 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!
  31. [R28] 1/5 · US Thievery: Thievery I once was a big fan of this app, in fact, all the apps from this developer. Then they got greedy. Their Growth Bundle provided reasonable pricing for all of their apps and I've been a subscriber for five years. But my recently-renewed subscription is no longer active in any but one of the 10 apps I use , and I'm being gouged to the tune of $340+ every year if I want to co
  32. [R51] 1/5 · CA $499.99 for an app??: This is hilarious. You’re either grossly overestimating the value of your app, or you’re straight up lying to trick people into thinking they’re getting a good deal. Neither of those options are a good look.
  33. [R69] 1/5 · CA How is this app worth $499.99?: If you want to make more than 3 habits, they require you to purchase the subscription. A lot of reviews said they had to subscribe to a monthly or yearly. Mine asks for $499.99 cad for a lifetime access but with a 24 hour new user discount up to 95%, which comes to about $24.99. The fact that the developers made an app cost 500 dollars just to get users to pay 25 do
  34. [R9] 4/5 · US Simple App: Wish it had a monthly habit option :/ very simplistic app, not the most customizable.
  35. [R97] 4/5 · CA Please add a Biweekly customization: Great and streamlined. I like the simple set up. Would like to see more options like biweekly hanit customization
  36. [R36] 1/5 · US Borderline idiotic: The app has close to zero functionality and will spam you with whatever tasks you set instead of batching them. At best it’s annoying at worst. It’s completely useless.
  37. [R130] 3/5 · CA Trying to figure out why reminders disappear?: Trying to figure out why reminders disappear?
  38. [R6] 5/5 · US Good: So far it’s perfect
