Free + in-app purchases seen up to $59.99 4.4★ lifetime (88,295) since 2017

The app is described as constantly trying to funnel users into additional subscriptions and add-on apps, with many complaints about being charged for bundles they did not authorize .

  1. [R1] 1/5 · GB Completely over priced and sly: Be really careful with this app. The subscription is outside of the apple subscriptions and is really hard to cancel. The app is really slow and annoying. I didn’t find it helpful. I wouldn’t bother
  2. [R7] 1/5 · GB BEWARE: SLICK BILLING LEFT ME WITH 9 UNKNOWN CHARGES: I downloaded this app believing I was starting a simple trial, but what followed was extremely confusing and expensive. What I did not understand at the time was that signing up created three separate recurring subscriptions connected to an Apple “Hide My Email” relay address. The subscriptions did not appear in my visible Apple subscription s
  3. [R9] 1/5 · GB Scam: This app is designed to scam you in to subscriptions. I took up the free trail and then had additional subscriptions added totalling £65 for the month. Read Atomic Habits and get the work book instead.
  4. [R12] 1/5 · GB Fraudulent app: Keeps trying to take money which has not been approved. Has been flagged as fraudulent and my card has now been cancelled. Yet you’re still trying to take money from me. Avoid at all costs
  5. [R6] 1/5 · GB The worse: A waste of time and money, not only their little ecosystem is incredibly hard to delete and get out of (you’ve got to deleted your details from all the apps individually, bare in mind you might only download their main app but they sign you up for all) but they are also trying to TAKE MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT REGUARLY, all diferent sums too, if you want to give this a try make sure to bl
  6. [R10] 1/5 · GB Don’t even attempt getting the app: If you log on for 2 seconds you get bombarded with payment options. Even when you think it’s free. It’s not. They just charged me £35 for an account I made 2 months ago. Had to jump through hoops just to cancel it. What an atrocious attempt at stealing your money. Big losers
  7. [R5] 1/5 · GB No support, endless charges: Avoid.
  8. [R11] 1/5 · GB Beware of the free trail: I signed up to a free trial and when the paid subscription started which I of course forgot to cancel which they rely on people doing - I immediately cancelled and said I did not mean to continue a paid 3 month subscription. Well they ignored it and refused to give me a refund. Be aware of this when you sign up to trials. Unethical if you are not using and clearly state y
  9. [R17] 1/5 · GB Scam: Deleted my account, but they’ve continually tried to bill me for it everyday this week, when I contacted support they said they couldn’t find a active account (duh), and closed the case, now I have to go through the bank to sort it - no amount of evidence was stopping them from trying to take money for NOTHING
  10. [R22] 1/5 · GB THIS IS A SCAM: In 3 months they took £109.85 out of my account and tried to take a further £59.98 more. I have tried to get in touch with customer services and after 1 email I got a bot saying the issues was considered RESOLVED. On my phone it says £39.99 is due to be taken out again at the end of May. Customer service is nowhere to be seen. I am keeping my current account empty in the short ter
  11. [R13] 1/5 · GB Fraud: They try and take money out of your account without signing up
  12. [R16] 1/5 · GB Scam: Says pay what you like, then you pay £0.89-£14 then takes you to £6 to continue.
  13. [R3] 1/5 · GB poor at the minute not ok the correct day or time!: for adhd we need things to work before we are not interested and too much like hard work. so hard to navigate
  14. [R4] 3/5 · GB AI: Too loud. Too happy. Too much. I just found it to overwhelming. If it were a person I’d love it. It just got too annoying and naggy. I needed it and to be fair still need it but it doesn’t replace human interaction and the only thing it was good for was to take time out my social media use. Also did I mention the AU ?? I can’t continue knowing the damage to the environment.
  15. [R14] 2/5 · GB Habits for ADHD?: Update: My previous review was too harsh. There is value in this app. I appreciate the notifications reminding me to do things. A lot of work has gone into the animations and layout; the app is beautiful to look at. It would be better to make exercise optional or at least choose what time of day to do it. I find it disingenuous to advertise the app as helping people with ADHD,
  16. [R21] 1/5 · GB Messy: I just can’t believe this is designed for ADHD brains. I cannot understand how to use it, it looks messy and I find it incredibly frustrating that it’s just trying to sell me other apps. What am I doing wrong?
  17. [R2] 5/5 · GB Helpful: Really uplifting and motivating plus very nice user Interface which is easy to understand
  18. [R42] 5/5 · GB Great so far: I’ve only just started using this app but so far so good and it seems to know how to motivate me! So far so good.
  19. [R53] 5/5 · CA Liking it so far.: Can customize your goals
  20. [R56] 5/5 · CA Cool app!: This app is cool, I just started but I like it. I can’t wait to see what my journey brings!
  21. [R99] 5/5 · CA fantastic , beautiful UI, enjoyable to use, well designed: Among many different tools that I have tried, This app is the best. Keeps you motivated, helps you meditate, build and track habits, and more.
  22. [R113] 4/5 · CA habits: I wish you have a section just for habits that don’t have to be inside of a routine but still traceable
  23. [R119] 5/5 · CA Fabulous Meilleur investissement de 2025: Fabulous est basé sur la science! Les neurosciences 🧠 Fabulous m’aide au quotidien depuis 2 mois. C’est la première fois de ma vie, en 36 ans d’existence, que j’ai une routine! C’est magique 🪄 Je pensais que c’était impossible pour moi de réussir cet exploit si insignifiant pour les adultes neurotypiques. Pour être exact, je n’ai pas une routine: j’ai 3
  24. [R149] 4/5 · CA Greatly Helpful: I have been working through all the journeys and am almost finished. It has been very useful in creating good habits. Much more helpful than a basic habit tracker. I like some of the guided activities, especially the exercises, but I don’t care for the coaching. The only issue I’ve had is the alarms are kind of glitchy.
  25. [R54] 1/5 · CA BEWARE: Beware, NOTHING IS FREE! They make you pay a bunch of stuff before accessing the app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
  26. [R76] 1/5 · CA Hidden fees: It claims the first two weeks are “pay what you want” but can’t access the account until you sign up and pay more. And after you do it prompts you to click for coaching, and then the app directly charges your an extra $55. So somehow a $1.60 pay as you want just cost me nearly $80
  27. [R78] 1/5 · CA Aggressive and misleading pricing: The “pay what you can” option that they present you with is not for the program. It is just for the trial! Never have I seen any app charge for a trial. Beware of this aggressive tactic that should not be allowed on the App Store at all.
  28. [R33] 1/5 · GB Keeps drawing money: Probably hidden in the small print but took multiple sums of money including over £50 in two instalments in one day. Avoid this app at all costs.
  29. [R15] 3/5 · GB Avoid: Be very careful with subscriptions on this app. I signed up for a free trial, cancelled within the trial period, received confirmation, and deleted the app. Despite this, I was charged multiple times afterwards. Support later claimed I had a second subscription, which I do not recall signing up for. There was no clear indication of multiple subscriptions during sign-up or cancellation, an
  30. [R26] 1/5 · GB So many pop ups: Luckily my bank blocked the automated subscription payment. I tried to cancel my subscription but there’s SOOOOO MANY POP UPS every 0.5 seconds omg it’s almost like they don’t want you to cancel they make it so hard. Took like 8 “contacts” to drink water and whatever to finally get a second to click on the profile icon and manage my subscription. Never again.
  31. [R25] 1/5 · GB Beware!: This app seems to be deliberately designed to trap people with executive function problems into paying hefty subscription fees, and then makes it very difficult to cancel subscriptions you didn’t really want in the first place. The app itself isn’t even helpful, having to click through many screens of text just to remind you to drink water in the morning, who needs that??
