Habit Tracker
Habit Tracker by Inner Grow Limited is a highly-rated app for building and tracking habits, praised for its intuitive design and customization, but recent reviews highlight significant issues with premium feature access, syncing across devices, and buggy performance, especially with widgets and Apple Watch integration.
Habit Tracker helps users build and manage habits with a user-friendly interface, customizable options, and motivational features. While many users find it effective for daily routines, a notable portion of recent feedback points to problems with paid features not activating, data syncing across devices, and various bugs that hinder the user experience.

Who it's for
This app is for individuals looking for a visually appealing and generally easy-to-use habit tracker to help manage daily routines and build new habits R4R14R24R30. It is particularly suitable for those who appreciate customization options, motivational elements, and health data integration R20R31R42. It could be worth paying for the lifetime membership if the core tracking functionality meets your needs and you are willing to overlook potential bugs or limited customer support R8R13R36.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are brief or focus on the app's potential, while negative reviews provide more detailed accounts of specific issues. The developer's notes mention fixing bugs and adding features, but recent reviews still report numerous bugs, especially with syncing, widgets, and premium access, suggesting these fixes may not be comprehensive or effective for all users.

- [R6] Highly recommend: I'm literally does everything that you would need a habit to do and nothing else. Incredibly easy simple and intuitive
- [R12] 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.
- [R14] Great app! Easy to use: Does just what I need. Looks good, easy to use, UI just feels natural. I like the stats I get about my habits and it’s cool to track things with a memo as well. I use this app every day!
- [R42] Perfect tracking app!: I have used this on and off the last few years. It has wonderful features and is very intuitive to use. I track things like my health or exercise exercises or water and you can also use it to quit habits if you would like. You can also see your progress in different charts, this is a very thoughtful app and I highly recommend it!
- [R4] Amazing app: This really helped my life and schedule!
- [R15] Love this app: This app is extremely helpful in keeping you build different habits. It tracks your habit progress and give you constant friendly reminder to stay on track.
- [R22] Yes: I’ve used it for only two days and it’s honestly the best. Free and all? And the reminders really help me as I am such a forgetful person! Highk 10/10
- [R30] Overall pretty good app: I got this app a few days ago because I was falling behind on reading and writing and guitar practice. This app really helped me. I finished my book finally (after it taking me 2 months prior having the app) and I got back into the habit of writing and practicing guitar!
- [R5] Great app: Love this app I like how it has the minutes too and it is just really nice
- [R20] Love this!!: The app is so organized and the colors are so cute!! Also, you can make custom ringtones and customise what type of activities you do! I love it!! Also it's free as long as you don't need more than 6 activity reminders.
- [R24] User Friendly Tool that Keeps Us Productive!: This habit tracker is user friendly for me AND my tween daughter! It is very simple to setup/customize/edit habits! We love the sound effects & progress bars to keep us on track with that extra hit of dopamine, too! We really appreciate the skip feature, so our streaks across the weeks and months are not totally reset. This app functions smoothly and h
- [R36] First time user!: Okay. I’ve only used this for a day, so I hope to update this review in a months time. At the moment, I really like the customization of this app! From the colors, themes, titles, to the ringtones! When I first downloaded the app I was given a discount on a lifetime membership for $8.99 and that’s it! Yes that does seem like a lot for habit tracking, but it helps me and the type
- [R31] Easy to use and work: I love how you can connect habit to Heath so yo can trake your Heath data I habit it is so easy to use and I love the way it looks and the simplicity
- [R8] Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
- [R13] Exciting: So far, so good. I’ve never bright a premium on an app, but this one I just might because it’s not overpriced and seems to have a great layout and system.
- [R27] 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.
- [R29] 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.
- [R67] 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.
- [R92] not offering honest products: frequently not given ability to redeem purchased products therefore the “premium” offered is not premium but a deceptive money theft . information improvement since receiving a developer response developer refuses to rectify restore purchase theft and is harassing Apple clientele please look somewhere other than the developer of this application line for an honest an
- [R40] 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❤️
- [R77] 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
- [R128] Wasn’t what it thought: I wanted something where I could put as many things I want for my routine, but it limited me. I didn’t like that I couldn’t add more because I didn’t have a subscription.
- [R159] Just no: I got this app thinking that I could actually start doing habits because I have a lot of responsibilities and yet it only allows a specific amount before it tries making me pay
- [R19] 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???
- [R146] Nice app but gosh this is killing me: Overall very like the design and the tracker, but this things just doesn’t sync through my devices. My MacBook doesn’t have habit created on my phone. Please fix this, dearest developers.
- [R226] Bugs and No option to share with family after purchasing Family lifetime plan: Bugs 1. I purchased the application on iPhone and when I downloaded the same application on iPad, it’s asking me to make the purchase again. 2. No easy way to delete a repeated habit. 3. Habits do not maintain uniqueness Feature - Please, share where can i find the option to share the application with my Family members
- [R180] Widgets: Widgets don’t work… only can pick two.
- [R194] Widget: Widget functionality is still a mess. Doesn’t recognize tap increments and just adds in random values. Works for a couple of hours and then some bars reset or some get marks done.. seems to be an issue with opening the app and leaving in the background, but even that doesn’t fix it. Yes removed widget and restarted and still keeps occurring. Makes widget functionally useless
- [R303] Can’t change my widget: I just recently got this app but I wanted to change my widget theme but no matter where I click it does not seems to work and it always says “you have to set theme for every widget separately “ what do you mean?? , I click everywhere but it still does not change anything or adds into my Home Screen . What a waste
- [R255] 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.
- [R378] Revised back down: Apple Watch integration is horrible unfortunately. Hard to interact with, buggy, unresponsive. When featuring a count of habits complete on watch Home Screen it doesn’t seem to refresh
- [R379] Great app, but doesn’t seem to work on watch: I love this app on my phone, but it’s not working on my watch. It has a weird notification pop up that I don’t know what it means. And I can’t track my progress, the option is there, it’s just glitchy and won’t let me
- [R386] Buggy but overall quite good: Frustrating bugs like when you add a habit, it doesn’t show up in the list until you press back and open the list again. Also on the Apple Watch, a notification allows you to to press “+1”, but nothing actually happens, it doesn’t update your habit, you have to go into the app and do it manually. If you do it from a notification on your Watch, it won’t let you, you ne
- [R84] Love it but not recommended: I purchased the Premium Lifetime Family subscription last week, but only my own account was activated. The family feature is still not working, and I cannot find where to add my family members’ email addresses or accounts. I also tried contacting support through email and Instagram, but I have not received any response so far. Very disappointing experience.
- [R114] Family Plan doesn’t work: I paid for the family plan, there is no option to adding a family member. I sent a message with no response. We even tried it on my wife’s phone because she lis linked as part of my family and it still has us purchase it. Until you fix this is remains 1 star
- [R135] App deletes data without warning: And then the support is useless and tells you they can’t help. They don’t issue refunds and tell you to contact Apple for one when payment was direct to them
- [R189] Don’t use and don’t buy: This app has many problems, and the developers ignore all customer emails and do not fix the problems, even after many months after receiving the problem report.
- [R136] No rolling windows: This app is okay but not what I’m looking for. I am in search of a habit tracker that tracks in rolling windows rather than resetting at the start of a new goal period. It doesn’t seem that this tool offers that. Bummer.
- [R365] Could be better with one change: App is good, but because there is no option to add things on set days without it showing on every day. This feels frustrating. If you had the option to hide the non relevant ones on future days, this would make things a lot easier as you could manage different tasks for different days.
- [R370] Good but can be great: Ability to set habits as “every X days”, where if you complete a habit, it won’t show up again until X days have passed. For example “haircut once every 30 days” or “Date night once every 20 days”. Quite a few reviews asking for this type of tracker, so it’s not showing up every day, only once it’s time to do it again. Now it’s listing “haircut” every day throughout the mo
- [R154] Lost a week of data: I loved this app. Then my week trial ended and purchased the app and all my data and habits that I set up are gone. Super unhappy.
- [R174] Deleted progress: Great app but it deletes your progress if you change you goals. I’m tired of missing out on my history
- [R2] 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.
- [R75] how to change group name: ? please let me know
- [R258] Good app, but how to add family?: Enjoying using this but I’ve paid for the family subscription but it is unclear how to add accounts. Could you also confirm if this is available across platforms on Google?
- [R47] 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
- [R26] 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.
- [R51] App crashing: Same issue here app keeps crashing and I have the paid version would really like it if I am updated about this current issue. I actually really like the app but this issue needs to be updated. Ill come back and give it a better review once its fixed.
- [R53] Love the app but the recent update broke it.: My success percentages have been changed to 0% and now will not change as I log inputs since the most recent app update. Hope this gets fixed. Love the app aside from this and it has been helpful with tracking office hours for work.
- [R63] Did not like it and annoyed paying for subscription: I paid for subscription (no free trial) and had to cancel it. Despite many positive reviews I think it’s not a good app. It reminds you of vast variety of habits you want to achieve, but super annoying with the reminders. Yes I want to drink more water, but I do not want reminder to pop up when I’m in the meeting. I do not drink water per exac
- [R1] This app sucks: It’s not intuitive.
- [R7] 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.
- [R210] Premium: I don’t have premium so it wont let me make more than 6 tasks. Just saying this but overall its alright
