  1. [R5] Habit-Bull 4/5 · US Great app on phone wished it had an app on Apple Watch: I tried a few habit apps and really like this one. I like how you can keep track in different ways. You can track ounces of water, times a week, or just daily. You can even set habit without having a goal for when you want to keep track of an occurrence. My only wish is that it had a companion on the Apple Watch so I didn’t have to keep my
  2. [R11] Habit-Bull 5/5 · US Ugly hero: Love this app. Simple, flexible, effective. Gives you all functionality you need for free, while being much more robust and thought through than other apps I tested (I tracked 5 habits for more than a year). Yeah, you can’t turn “pretty UI” in settings, it goes as it is. Statistics could look better, and I want to be complemented more often. But I moved to paying users right now becaus
  3. [R34] Habit-Bull 5/5 · US Love this app: This app is a daily fixture for me. I love it. Two (hopefully) small requests. First, I'd like to export my data, modify it in excel (to add comments en masse), then reimport it. Second, I already track some habits via other apps (like Fitbit). Nevertheless, I love the visual aspect of this app. It would be great if there was integration with IFTTT or some other apps so that some of
  4. [R40] Habit-Bull 5/5 · US Great Habit Tracker: Easy to use and nice design. I like that it’s easy to view all my habits at a glance and can track most with 1-click.
  5. [R2] Habit-Bull 5/5 · US Very good app. I love it: Highly recommended
  6. [R7] Habit-Bull 2/5 · US Awful on iPad: Not the right ratio for the screen, really not made for the iPad at all
  7. [R9] Habit-Bull 3/5 · US Restore landscape please: Since a recent update, I can only use this great app in portrait mode, which makes it harder to look back and see entries from previous days. Please restore landscape as an option.
  8. [R15] Habit-Bull 3/5 · US Remove dark mode: How do I remove dark mode for only this app?
  9. [R3] Habit-Bull 3/5 · US Not going premium: I've used this for 3 months. Had no problems an update didn't fix. I need to upgrade or exit (i want to track a 5th habit). Two online reviews that premium customers had posted convinced me not to. Support didn't help either get their data back when it mysteriously disappeared. No thank you!
  10. [R4] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Update is buggy, support not helpful: For some reason the update deleted my data and the app no longer recognizes that I’ve purchased the premium version. When I reached out to help they provided several canned pre written answers that didn’t apply to me or address the issue.
  11. [R10] Habit-Bull 2/5 · US Keeps Changing End Date: I have no idea why I don’t see anyone else talking about this but the app repeatedly shifts my habit’s set end date, which makes it very difficult to track progress. Instead of counting down the days, the “days to completion” number stays the same, which results in the end date repeatedly getting pushed out with each passing day. And this is with me meeting my habit goals
  12. [R13] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Just broke all of a sudden: I used this app every day for the last couple of weeks. Bought the premium subscription also. Then yesterday (25 October 2020) it just stopped working. It shows the little red circle with the number of habits to complete but when I try to open it, it crashes and shuts down. I've tried everything. Quit the app, and reopened. Same thing. Uninstall, reinstall, sign-in agai
  13. [R1] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Was great but: I get a pop up to purchase premium services every single time I open this app now. I used this app on IOS and Android paying for the premium app, but now they want $20 a year. I would definitely subscribe if the cost were reasonable, but this app is way too basic for such an absurd price.
  14. [R6] Habit-Bull 3/5 · US Annoying pop up: I have used this app for years and overall it’s a wonderful app, but since the last update every time I open the app it prompts me to purchase premium. Every. Single. Time. It’s so annoying dealing with that pop up, I’m honestly looking for a new app to use. I understand an app wanting to make money but the pop up is so frequent it makes me not want to use the app. If they want
  15. [R14] Habit-Bull 4/5 · US Four out of five: I would give 5 out of 5 if they would stop trying me to pay $20 a year for pro. Just ask once and don’t make it pop up every time I launch the free app and it gets 5
  16. [R16] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Pop-up: Annoying pop-up, I enjoy the app and use it to track things but this pop up comes up every time I open the app for a subscription. Either charge an amount like 2.99 and keep the sub as an option.
  17. [R18] Habit-Bull 3/5 · GB Version 1.4.11 Finally seems to be working but ...: 13 March 2020 Version 1.4.11 Despite raising yet another ticket number there was no response from the developers until a comment appeared on my previous review. The app finally seems to be working after nearly nine months of complaints. They have, at least, had the good grace to admit that I was right all along. The app stopped working at versi
  18. [R31] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Third grade support: I sent an idea for improvement I got crude response and my support ticket was closed. It made me feel like they do not appreciate their users, therefore I uninstalled the app.. there are plenty of other apps that do the same. I’ll look for one but I will never come back to this one. It seems like the paint peanuts for people to do their support and there’s no quality contro
  19. [R25] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Not free, in-app purchase annoying: Not free and there is no “in-app” purchases disclaimer when you download the app. After that your welcome experience is like this: “try free for 7 days then pay or hit the road” I hit the road
  20. [R28] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Works great until...: After using and enjoying for a couple months it now won’t let me open the app without trying to force me to pay to get into my data.
  21. [R43] Habit-Bull 1/5 · US Have LOVED this app...until now...: I have been using this app for well over a year; it WAS great, simple, motivating. But starting this week, when I open the app, it goes to a page that wants to charge me $19.99 to use the app. It won’t even let me access my prior data. Every day I open it, hoping that it is fixed. But it won’t let you do anything at all in the app now, without agreeing to the f
