Do Habits

30
Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

Do Habits is a beautifully designed habit tracker that users love for its simplicity and customization, but it is currently plagued by severe performance issues, unresponsive customer support, and aggressive monetization practices that include unhonored lifetime purchases and frequent upsells.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $99.99 4.0★ lifetime (16,822) since 2016

Do Habits offers a clean, intuitive, and customizable interface for habit tracking, which many users find motivating. However, recent updates have introduced significant lag, glitches, and syncing problems, while customer support is widely reported as unresponsive, especially regarding unhonored past purchases and subscription issues.

Free vs paid

The free version of Do Habits is severely limited, allowing users to track only three habits R54R78R82R92. To track more habits or access premium features like unlimited goals, users are required to pay for a subscription or an in-app purchase R50. Many previous users who paid a one-time fee for lifetime access or a 'Growth Bundle' report that these purchases are no longer honored, forcing them into new subscription models or locking them out of features they previously owned R4R10R26R34. Paid users also complain about persistent pop-up ads for upgrades, even after subscribing R23R159R247R249.

Value complaints

  • Many users who previously paid a one-time fee for lifetime access or a 'Growth Bundle' report that these purchases are no longer honored, forcing them to pay again or lose access to premium features.R4R10R26R34
  • The app is considered expensive, with a $60/year subscription being the only premium option, which many find unjustified for a habit tracker.R54R56R17R50
  • The free version is extremely limited, allowing only three habits, which is seen as a forced paywall.R54R78R82R92
  • Paid users are still bombarded with annoying pop-up ads for upgrades and bundles, negatively impacting the user experience.R23R159R247R249
  • Some users report being scammed with unauthorized charges or being charged multiple times for subscriptions they tried to cancel.R5R18R43R65

Where it delivers

  • Users consistently praise the app's clean, minimal, and beautiful design and user interface.R7R40R54R68
  • The app is effective for habit tracking, helping users stay consistent and build new habits.R3R12R17R81
  • It offers good customization options, including reminders, unit tracking, and aesthetic choices.R7R40R85R196
  • The reporting features are appreciated for gauging progress over time.R12R196
Worth paying if

The paid tier might be considered by users who prioritize a minimal design with maximal functionality, including unit tracking and customizable reminders, and who are willing to risk potential technical issues and poor support R7R68. However, given the widespread complaints about unhonored purchases and app instability, paying is not currently recommended.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying for Do Habits if you are looking for a reliable, glitch-free habit tracker, if you expect responsive customer support, or if you are unwilling to deal with potential issues regarding unhonored past purchases or aggressive upsells R1R2R10. Users who need to track more than three habits without paying a high annual fee should also look elsewhere R54R78R82R92.

Evidence note: Recent reviews are heavily skewed negative due to performance issues and monetization complaints, despite a higher lifetime rating. The lifetime rating likely reflects the app's past quality before these issues became prevalent.

  1. [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.
  2. [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?
  3. [R26] 1/5 · US Scam: I purchased this app before it was an insanely-priced subscription model. Customer service was zero help in transferring me over to the full paid app. Streaks is a one-time purchase and is equal if not better.
  4. [R34] 1/5 · US Developer no longer supports: I purchased the one time forever subscription and the developer now is forcing an upgrade to premium subscription. They do not respond to support inquiries about restoring previous purchases.
  5. [R54] 3/5 · US Amazing App, Greedy Pricing: Upon opening the app for the first time, I wqs mesmerized by the exceptional UI/UX throughout the WHOLE app. But… then I discovered that you can only have 3 habits in the free version. So I thought… okay let me give it a try for free then maybe I’ll subscribe later. Then I discovered the only premium plan is $60/year. Great 😕. I might have subscribed to a monthly pla
  6. [R56] 3/5 · US $60?!: the app crashes while loading and doesn’t update thru all devices.. i have loveeeeeed this app but $60 a year is absolutely insane. I want to give 5 stars because I try other apps through the years and ALWAYS come back to this one. the price is unexcusable in my opinion unfortunately.
  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. [R50] 2/5 · US MONEY HUNGRY: it’s a simple effective app it shouldn’t cost 50+ dollars to have more than 1 habit, shameful
  9. [R78] 3/5 · US Pass: Finally found one I liked but they make you pay for more than three listings so really completely useless.
  10. [R82] 3/5 · US In app buying: The app is great in all but you have to buy unlimited achievements to be able to do more!
  11. [R92] 3/5 · US Better options out there! =<: It only allows 3 habits. If you want more you will have to pay. Its a good app and set up. It’s minimalistic and easy to navigate, but this industry is so money hungry im sick of it. You can most likely find a better app!
  12. [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.
  13. [R159] 3/5 · US NY promotion keeps popping up affecting UX: It’s been 3 months, and the New Year promotion still pop up twice every time I open the app.
  14. [R247] 3/5 · GB Good app but annoying pop up never stops: I really like this app, and I use it every day. But every time I open it, I’m shown an ostensibly limited offer for a reduced rate on the premium version. Every time I open the app, I have to cancel this notification, not once but twice. Every time I have to do that, just to log a habit entry, I think about deleting the app and finding an alternative. Plea
  15. [R249] 3/5 · GB Alright: So far it’s good I’ve made lots of “habits” and easy to make simple icons and colours for the aesthetic side of things but whenever I try to add or make a new task it keeps coming up with a new years thing that’s £20 which I don’t want to pay but it seems like I can’t use the app unless I pay it and it just keeps popping up when I press the + button and it won’t go away so that’s needs so
  16. [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!
  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. [R43] 2/5 · US Can’t back out!!: I have been trying to cancel my subscription since I don’t really use it and I can’t figure out how! No one will help me so that’s a big no no for me. Don’t try to trap me to pay for something I no longer want !!!
  19. [R65] 1/5 · US I canceled the subscription TWICE and I’m still being charged: This is ridiculous!!!! I’ve cancelled it numerous times and I’m still getting charged. DONT GET THIS APP!!!!!!
  20. [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.
  21. [R40] 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
  22. [R68] 5/5 · US Finally a simple habits app: I had to write a review on this, I’ve downloaded all the habit tracking apps and can confidently say this is the best one. It’s simple, beautiful, and gives you the features you need to build habits without the unnecessary fluff. This company clearly cares a lot about UI/UX and it shows in the incredible design. I’m happy to be a paying subscriber, as this app has all
  23. [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.
  24. [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
  25. [R81] 5/5 · US motivational: it motivates to gets thing done
  26. [R85] 5/5 · US Easy and inexpensive: Love this app. Very simple to use, but with nice design. Highly customizable and also has reminders if you wish. It’s also kind of fun to try and keep the streak alive. Nothing else I’ve tried is as simple to set up and use
  27. [R196] 5/5 · US Simple = Good: Tried a few habit tracker apps before running into this one. Needed something that had a good user interface that included a checklist feature of sorts. Most of the other top rated apps forces you to tie in a process or routine or even a timer with your checklist, I really hated that. This app is perfect for what I was looking for. The features are simple, yet useful. I can break
  28. [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
  29. [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.
  30. [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
