Habit Tracker

65
Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

This habit tracker is generally well-regarded for its ease of use and customization, but its value is significantly impacted by a restrictive free tier and numerous bugs affecting paid features.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $12.99 4.8★ lifetime (143,527) since 2019

Habit Tracker by Inner Grow Limited is praised for its intuitive interface, customization, and effectiveness in building habits, but many users are frustrated by a strict paywall limiting free habits to six and persistent bugs with syncing, notifications, and paid features. The lifetime membership is seen as good value by some, while others report issues with purchases not being recognized.

Free vs paid

The free version of the app allows users to track a limited number of habits, typically six R40R77. Some users report being able to create only three or four habits for free R124. Key features like the monthly view are also not functional in the free version R77. To track more habits or access full functionality, users must purchase a subscription or a lifetime membership R40R77R152. Paid features include unlimited habits, custom ringtones, and advanced statistics R20. The lifetime membership has been offered at prices like $8.99 R8R36.

Value complaints

  • The free version is severely limited, allowing only 3-6 habits, forcing users to pay for basic functionality.R40R77R124R128
  • Users are often prompted to pay immediately or are not clearly informed about the subscription requirement upfront.R47R48R76R152
  • Many users experience bugs where their paid subscription or lifetime access is not recognized, requiring constant restoration or leading to a lack of premium features.R27R29R41R67
  • Family plans are often reported as not working, with no clear option to add family members despite purchasing.R84R114R226R258

Where it delivers

  • The app is intuitive, easy to use, and has a good user interface, making habit tracking simple and effective.R3R4R5R6
  • Customization options, including colors, themes, ringtones, and the ability to add notes, are highly appreciated.R5R14R20R24
  • The app helps users stay organized, build new habits, and track progress, with reminders that actually work.R4R6R9R15
  • The lifetime membership is considered a good value by some users, especially when offered at a discount.R8R13R36R38
Worth paying if

It's worth paying if you find the app's interface and customization options, such as colors, themes, and custom ringtones, particularly appealing and helpful for your habit-building process R20R36. The lifetime membership is considered a good value by some users if it works as intended R8R13R36R38.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying if you need to track more than six habits without paying R40R77 or if you are concerned about recurring bugs with syncing across devices R19R146R226, notifications R26R177R358, or issues with paid purchases not being recognized R27R29R41R67. If you prefer an app with pre-suggested habits or more advanced scheduling features like subtasks or rolling windows, this app may not meet your needs .

Evidence note: The reviews show a strong dichotomy between positive experiences with the app's core functionality and significant frustration with its monetization model and technical issues. Recent reviews R40R77 heavily emphasize the restrictive free tier and paywall complaints, which might skew recent sentiment more negatively compared to the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are brief R3 or focus on the app's potential R13R36, while negative reviews often detail specific, recurring problems.

  1. [R40] 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. [R77] 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. [R124] 1/5 · US Greed: If you don't have a subscription, you can only add 3 habit trackers. · translated
  4. [R128] 1/5 · US 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.
  5. [R47] 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
  6. [R48] 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.
  7. [R76] 2/5 · US I want to like this App: First off there’s immediately a paywall/fee that should just be in the App Store rather than leverage the sunk cost fallacy of people downloading already. Ok so it’s $8 of at minimum $6. Not bad for a new ~notebook I guess, so I’m trying it. Developers need to pay for things too, so whatever. My problem: it doesn’t update values when I change my mind about the amount per
  8. [R152] 3/5 · US Disappointed: I was put off, after answering a bunch of questions, that there are subscriptions required to use this app. The fee is small, but the developer should be upfront about the subscription rather than hiding it.
  9. [R27] 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.
  10. [R29] 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.
  11. [R41] 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.
  12. [R67] 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.
  13. [R84] 1/5 · US 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.
  14. [R114] 1/5 · US 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
  15. [R226] 3/5 · US 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
  16. [R258] 3/5 · GB 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?
  17. [R3] 5/5 · US Glowing queen: Fab
  18. [R4] 5/5 · US Amazing app: This really helped my life and schedule!
  19. [R5] 5/5 · US Great app: Love this app I like how it has the minutes too and it is just really nice
  20. [R6] 5/5 · US Highly recommend: I'm literally does everything that you would need a habit to do and nothing else. Incredibly easy simple and intuitive
  21. [R14] 5/5 · US 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!
  22. [R20] 5/5 · US 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.
  23. [R24] 5/5 · US 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
  24. [R9] 5/5 · US Very impactful: This is a very fresh app for managing your good and bad habits at the same time, I can be in a full control on my life. Especially with this last update. Thank you!
  25. [R15] 5/5 · US 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.
  26. [R8] 5/5 · US Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
  27. [R13] 5/5 · US 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.
  28. [R36] 5/5 · US 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
  29. [R38] 5/5 · US Love it!: I love this app and it’s NOT a monthly subscription thing which is great! One thing though. Is there an option in the “goal period” to have something not only as daily but as like how many times a day it needs to be done. Like my skincare I would like it 2x a day. I thought there was an option but maybe I’m wrong? I’m on iPad idk if that makes a difference? But yeah, great app!
  30. [R19] 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???
  31. [R146] 3/5 · US 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.
  32. [R355] 3/5 · GB Apple Watch must improve: There is to timer option in Apple Watch
  33. [R26] 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.
  34. [R177] 3/5 · US Great but a few bugs: I love what this does and the notification features. But what bothers me is that my custom notification sounds don’t work even though I see it days custom for the choice. Also even though I have the daily notification off it still comes up every morning at 9 it’s super annoying
  35. [R358] 3/5 · GB works but is annoying: decent enough app, is laid out okay. but very glitchy, couldn’t find a way to stop is randomly pinging my watch with my stress level every hour or so. also double notifies for every habit, and isn’t much flexibility in the frequency of habits compared to similar apps
