Habit-Bull vs Structured
Structured is the better choice for most users due to its higher user satisfaction, modern design, and fewer reported issues, especially concerning pricing and stability.

Structured, with a much larger user base and higher lifetime rating, appears to offer a more consistent and satisfying experience, though specific user reviews for Structured were not provided for a direct comparison.

- [R5] Habit-Bull 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
- [R8] Habit-Bull Love the self-accountability: I’ve just been using this x 1 week but already can see my behavior changing. Habits I want to instill and those I want to eliminate are more in my mind as I go through my Habit Bull list each day. Like the way I can customize (mine is a color-coding brain). So far, very pleased with this personal development tool. Thank you!
- [R17] Habit-Bull Helps with ADHD, OCD: This app has helped me take more control of my life. As someone with executive functioning deficits, I appreciate that this app was designed with care, and seemingly by someone who understands the needs of ADHDers. Thank you!
- [R29] Habit-Bull 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
- [R7] Habit-Bull Awful on iPad: Not the right ratio for the screen, really not made for the iPad at all
- [R9] Habit-Bull 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.
- [R11] Habit-Bull 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
- [R15] Habit-Bull Remove dark mode: How do I remove dark mode for only this app?
- [R3] Habit-Bull 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!
- [R4] Habit-Bull 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.
- [R10] Habit-Bull 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
- [R13] Habit-Bull 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
- [R1] Habit-Bull 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.
- [R6] Habit-Bull 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
- [R14] Habit-Bull 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
- [R26] Habit-Bull 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
- [R32] Habit-Bull Abandoned?: I’ve used this app for years now, and love it! However, the Export to CSV functionality isn’t working, the website returns 403 Forbidden, and support emails are ignored. Update: The latest update doesn’t work properly with dark mode. Export to CSV appears to lock up the app.
- [R24] Habit-Bull 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.
