  1. [R3] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US If only: I really like this app I’m going to use it on my watch but I don’t like how you have to have a prescription and for free you only get six having good habits should be free❤️
  2. [R15] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US Free & great but limited: I wish apps were up front about what all is included on the free version. I was really looking forward to using this tracker and really enjoyed the interface and setup. After creating 6 habits I couldn’t add more. I reached out to the support team and learned that you only get 6 habits on the free version and if I wanted more I’d have to buy the subscription. I also learn
  3. [R31] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US NOT free , and goes beyond “in app purchase”: Downloaded it bc it said “ in app purchase . Nope . They ask for $$ right away . Forget this . Deleted
  4. [R34] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US This app sucks: I hate this app so much. It makes me buy everything anytime that I want to do literally anything and it said on the description free do not be fooled this app. It’s not free at all.
  5. [R9] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US Paid lifetime but I don’t have it: Hello, I purchased the lifetime access to the app since it’s what I have been looking for but It still shows that I can only use the basic features.
  6. [R16] Habit Tracker 2/5 · US Slow.: This app requires me to restore the purchase constantly even though u purchased a lifetime subscription. It’s annoying that I have to jump through hoops to use something I’ve already purchased. Stop trying to sell me stuff and give me what I purchased! Other than that it’s okay. Rather use any other free app at this point.
  7. [R19] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Im in a bad mood: Subscribed to premium, got an email that my subscription was confirmed, but the app still thinks I haven’t subscribed to premium. Im not getting any of the premium benefits. Still being prompted to subscribe to premium despite the fact that, as previously stated, I already have.
  8. [R28] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US they charged me twice??!!: Hello I’m trying to be nice but why am I being charged for something I ALREADY PAID FOR THAT DOESNG MAKE SENSE GIVE MY MONEY BACK YO THERES NO WAY THIS WAS A LIFETIME ONE TIME PAYMENT THAT I BOUGHT ON MY CARD NOT ON MY APPLE CARD return my money.
  9. [R10] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Not syncing: I originally set all my habits on my iPad and then it synced up perfectly with my phone. I then recently got a new iPad and tried several times to sync it with my phone. I tried everything. All iCloud settings are enabled. I googled and double checked everything but it is still blank on my iPad. How do I get this to sync on my iPad???
  10. [R13] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Not worth it: No different then the reminders app that’s already included for free on your iPhone. I set reminders on this app to remind me to do things and it never sent notifications. And yes I went into settings to make sure notifications were enabled. Really disappointed. Want my $9 back.
  11. [R1] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US This app sucks: It’s not intuitive.
  12. [R4] Habit Tracker 2/5 · US No Way to Delete Account: I’d like to delete my account and don’t see a way to get in contact with the developer or delete through the settings. Please delete my account.
  13. [R12] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US how to change group name: ? please let me know
  14. [R39] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB Habit tracker: I don’t know where to delete a group
  15. [R14] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Great App: I would love if the habits had subtask like the apple reminders it would be a great addition and truly make this the perfect app.
  16. [R29] Habit Tracker 4/5 · US Near perfect: I use this app all the time, it’s great and I love it. It’s intuitive, easy, and makes a nice routine. My only wish is that I could add daily to do items as well. I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a habit tracker.
  17. [R21] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB New time in sunlight not working properly: It’s converting minutes recorded in Apple Health to seconds in the app meaning goals are not being recorded as met.
  18. [R27] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB small error: apps good, however when i open it now, it opens on “yesterday”. i cant click today’s date, it seems greyed out
  19. [R30] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB Big problem: If trying to quit a habit and have set it to “mark as failure” the little circle around the date still shows a crown on it like you did something good and you get a streak. I should streak if I don’t do any of my habits.
  20. [R36] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB Kinda: I like it but whenever I try and add a new goal it won’t let me and says that I have past the first day
  21. [R52] Finch 5/5 · US I can’t say enough positive things about Finch: I use Finch in my personal life, and I recommend it to my therapy clients. They do an excellent job of using the ways that humans learn and develop habits most effectively to our own advantage - to improve our ability to engage in meaningful self-care and reflection and, in doing so, promote a more positive sense of self and increased productivity. A
  22. [R55] Finch 5/5 · US Best self care app I’ve ever used: When I first downloaded finch, I didn’t download it with the intention of keeping it, I only downloaded it because I was in the middle of a psychosis episode and was trying to find anything to calm myself down. Surprisingly, the app helped a lot, and not only did it distract me, but it also helped me find better coping mechanisms to deal with my poor mental healt
  23. [R61] Finch 5/5 · US BEST APP ON PLANET EARTH!😍: I am one of those people that don’t have finch plus. I can so live without plus it’s literally the same thing you just can’t do some things but it doesn’t fully affect me. I am growing a new me. I feel happier than everyone. In my friend group all my friends are upset but l am happy and productive. Before l did finch l was just like them. So worth it DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!
  24. [R66] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 5/5 · US The best app to exist: This app helps me to get my work done and get my mind off things that stress me out❣️
  25. [R67] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 3/5 · US It was good a few years ago but now money hungry: I’m going to get straight to the point don’t get me wrong I love this app it’s the best self care app I’ve found so far but tell me why I have to pay to add more than 8 tasks like I was excited to see new features after not touching the app for a while but I got disappointed when it didn’t let me add my whole routine without paying like I get yall
  26. [R69] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 5/5 · US The best app ever: This app is great .Now I am super responsible.
  27. [R70] Me+ Lifestyle Routine 3/5 · US ɾҽαժ ճҽբօɾҽ ժօաղlօαժíղց: Unless you pay for VIP you can only do check points in the morning so uhm yea not bad if you wanna pay for it
  28. [R83] Structured 5/5 · US LOVEEE: I have been using this app for over a year now and I love it so much. It helps me plan my day a lot easier than any other way. One thing I do wish was that you could just write things down without worrying about putting a time down. Thats my only complaint tho and I love every other thing about structured! (Update I learned you actually can do that nvm!) I love the app even more now!
  29. [R85] Structured 5/5 · US ADHD girlies, sign up now!: I am fortunate to be an OG lifetime membership user. I believe I got the pro plan early on for something like $20. I have since converted at least a dozen of my close friends and family. This is a perfect app that only continues to grow, improve, and impress. I could not function without it and I could not recommend it enough! The mobile version has reshaped how I can
  30. [R87] Structured 5/5 · US Organización de tiempo: Me a ayudado a mantener la limpieza de mi hogar y estructurar el tiempo
  31. [R90] Structured 1/5 · US You can do better: As a Person with severe ADHD, I think this app is not giving me the opportunity to be organized. Without the Structured Pro plan, I can’t repeat some of the tasks that I need to do on a daily basis. To be honest, I do not have the money and patience for having to pay for this pro to only get 2 things unlocked. I know you guys got an Apple Award but the only award I would be givi
  32. [R93] Productive 1/5 · US Limited without subscription: $5.99 a week or $99.99 a year. Without paying one of those, you are limited to only 5 free habits. No more than that. Doesn’t work for what I need.
  33. [R96] Productive 1/5 · US Mediocre at best: It’s fine, pretty basic overall. Never really got into it much as the features were mediocre and the yearly sub for pro features is a ridiculous $100/year
  34. [R97] Productive 5/5 · US It's the best 👍💯: I love this app it helps me clean, organize, and I have braces so it helps me brush and floss!, it helps me do stuff I don't want to do and it even has reminders!!(helpful)but the subscription pops up even when my phone just turn of for 2seconds and it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying but other than that it's amazing
  35. [R98] Productive 3/5 · US It Should be the BEST Habit Tracker: I love this app. The simplicity and layout are perfection. There are two reasons I’ve given it: 3 stars: 1. The app limits a week to 6 days! Is there a place on this earth where a week is only 6 days? 2. I can not find a way to edit a habit. I’d there’s a spelling error, or a change to the habit requires creating a new habit! There goes the progress tracking.
  36. [R108] Fabulous 5/5 · US so far so good: this app is definitely a help in becoming the you that you want to be ... only had it a couple weeks and i already have seen a positive change in my day to day
  37. [R109] Fabulous 3/5 · US Lots of Graphics: The app is very useful for habit tracking and coaching. However, I get very frustrated trying to check off the items in my routine and having to wait for multiple 10 second graphics that play out every time I press a checkbox. There needs to be a setting that limits the forced interruptions with using the app. Please! I want to be able to check off my list in 5 seconds not severa
  38. [R111] Fabulous 4/5 · US Love the App but Teeny Tiny Suggestion: As stated I really do like this app. I feel like I’ve given up on it just because of my lack of willpower at the time I had first gotten it and my environment being complete chaos so I decided to give it another try now that I’ve moved out and have my own space and I really like the daily coaching. I mix that along with my own spiritual journey with my faith
  39. [R112] Fabulous 3/5 · US Annoyed with the streak animation: I like this app, but lately I’ve been incredibly annoyed having to wait for the streak animation to complete every day, every time I do something. I need an option to turn that off so I can see what’s next on the list without waiting or having to close and reopen the app to make it slightly quicker to go to the next task. This isn’t Duolingo, and feels like they’
  40. [R40] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Have to pay: This app sucks your only allowed to have 6 habits at a time and if you need more like me you have to pay $20 for it
  41. [R42] Habit Tracker 3/5 · GB Only one change can make this app 5 stars: Why do we need a subscription for everything!! This app is perfect apart from the fact you can only make I think 5 habits before paying??? That’s crazy just for a habit app- atleasttttt make it like 10-20, I’m avoiding it by getting multiple habit apps for all the ones I want, this one is my favourite I wish I could only have this one.
  42. [R99] Productive 1/5 · US No way on that pricing: $5.99/week or $99/year? Get lost
  43. [R102] Productive 1/5 · US 100$-260$ a year for a fancy version of reminders is insane, one person is paying your license: Get that bag I guess making me wanna make apps
