- [R5] Do Habits cleanest design, nothing superfluous: this is the best habit tracking app for ios and apple watch. it’s worth the subscription cost immediately if you want a minimal design with maximal functionality (unit tracking, customizable reminders + schedule) for tracking your habits. i’ve tried many other apps and nothing is as simple and beautiful without missing features.
- [R6] Do Habits Almost perfect: It’s a good app but I wish they had a way to show more habits in the widget or let us choose which ones show up
- [R7] Do Habits App used to be better: This app used to be perfect, it was simple, tracked anything, and was a one-time cheap payment. Now that they’ve added a ton of unnecessary bells and whistles, this app can be replaced by something better that doesn’t have a subscription requirement. This app should be a tracker and nothing more.
- [R8] Do Habits Simple App: Wish it had a monthly habit option :/ very simplistic app, not the most customizable.
- [R1] Do Habits Slow, Glitchy App: This app was one of the best habit trackers, but now is just glitchy and slow. It frequently has UI lag and doesn’t respond to user input. And worst of all, I can’t export my data to move to another app because it hangs on the CSV export. I’ve emailed support twice and received no response. I decided to not renew this year. Once a great app, now slow and poorly supported. Recomm
- [R3] Do Habits Lags terribly: I’ve been using this app for years and it’s been helping me keep good habits- I have a streak that’s 47 months long. But it’s been really laggy and crashes a lot lately. It’s disappointing. I’d rather not move to another app but I’m starting to feel like I’m being forced to.
- [R4] Do Habits Does not work anymore at all and just hangs: Since some of the newer updates, for whatever reason the app just doesn’t load anything at all and doesn’t allow me to click or do anything. My iphone is one of the newer models so it’s not an update thing.
- [R9] Do Habits Great app, support needs to be more responsive.: This is an amazing app. I use it every day to track my habits. I love the reporting features which allow me to gauge my progress over time. I've been having some issues with it recently. The app became very sluggish. I need to kill it numerous times to make it work. This is very annoying. I would've given it a 5 star if the support team answered m
- [R10] Do Habits Scam: I got scammed $149.99!!! I downloaded the Habit tracker app a year ago. Can’t remember how much I paid for it. This January, I was charged $150!!! For a “Growth Bundle” I went to dispute the charge but my Chase credit card wants documentation on how much I agreed to be charged. Of course I don’t have any from an app I downloaded over a year ago! I’m so mad!
- [R15] Do Habits Recommend but…: Have been using this app for years and can confirm I am now a daily flosser, a daily bed maker, and I never miss taking my vitamins. That being said, the premium version is not cheap, and there’s a weird lag after checking off and item that has gotten worse over time (I assumed because of the amount of data it holds now but could be because it’s simply become a clunky app) and has
- [R16] Do Habits Have to pay twice: I’m still upset over this. I’ve tried contacting customer service a few times over a few months and no response. I paid for the full app a few years ago like others and now I have to pay for a subscription? And then you can’t even reply to my emails about it? Seriously?
- [R13] Do Habits Had High Hopes: Had some issues with the app, reached out to support, never heard back. Very buggy syncing with Apple Heath.
- [R32] Do Habits Primum: Wish you didn’t have to pay for premium to make unlimited goals
