  1. [R5] Do Habits 5/5 · US 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.
  2. [R8] Do Habits 4/5 · US Simple App: Wish it had a monthly habit option :/ very simplistic app, not the most customizable.
  3. [R9] Do Habits 3/5 · US 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
  4. [R11] Do Habits 5/5 · US App is great, widget can be more customizable: Really great habit tracker. Only wish that there was a bigger widget that allowed for more habits. Or that the widget allows you to pick which habits to display.
  5. [R1] Do Habits 1/5 · US 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
  6. [R3] Do Habits 3/5 · US 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.
  7. [R4] Do Habits 1/5 · US 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.
  8. [R12] Do Habits 3/5 · US Great but glitchy: I love this app, but it is very glitchy. It takes several taps to add or subtract a habit count. I've deleted and redownloaded the app to my iphone 14 several times and continue to have this issue, not sure why! It's really negatively affecting my use
  9. [R7] Do Habits 1/5 · US 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.
  10. [R10] Do Habits 1/5 · US 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!
  11. [R16] Do Habits 1/5 · US 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?
  12. [R19] Do Habits 1/5 · US Doesn’t recognize my paid subscription suddenly: I actually quite like this app overall, even though it can be laggy. What I very much DON’T like is that several weeks ago, despite the fact that I have an annual paid subscription through late December, it stopped giving me access to premium features like unlimited goals. When I go to create a new goal now, I get a paywall asking me to upgrade to p
  13. [R13] Do Habits 2/5 · US Had High Hopes: Had some issues with the app, reached out to support, never heard back. Very buggy syncing with Apple Heath.
  14. [R30] Do Habits 3/5 · US Amazing App, Greedy Pricing: Upon opening the app for the first time, I wqs mesmerized by the exceptional UI/UX throughout the WHOLE app. But… then I discovered that you can only have 3 habits in the free version. So I thought… okay let me give it a try for free then maybe I’ll subscribe later. Then I discovered the only premium plan is $60/year. Great 😕. I might have subscribed to a monthly pla
  15. [R33] Do Habits 3/5 · US $60?!: the app crashes while loading and doesn’t update thru all devices.. i have loveeeeeed this app but $60 a year is absolutely insane. I want to give 5 stars because I try other apps through the years and ALWAYS come back to this one. the price is unexcusable in my opinion unfortunately.
  16. [R35] Do Habits 4/5 · US Primum: Wish you didn’t have to pay for premium to make unlimited goals
  17. [R39] Do Habits 3/5 · US Pass: Finally found one I liked but they make you pay for more than three listings so really completely useless.
  18. [R68] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · GB The best cross-platform task app out there!: TickTick is the best cross-platform task app out there! I use it everywhere, including Linux and WatchOS. I love the integrations and habit tracking. Thank you!
  19. [R82] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · GB best reminder/calendar app ever: i wish i had the full package but i can’t afford it right now, i use the free version and i love it so much. i love the timer, layout and reminders. it syncs onto all my devices- laptop, ipad, iphone and i use it predominantly with no other app. i’ve got raging ADHD and survived the IB with this app, now am in university and still love this app. i wish broader stat
  20. [R87] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · GB Loving this app: I am so pleased to have found this app which I find really easy to use and which offers so much functionality. Tasks can be arranged in different lists (Personal, Work, Fitness etc) but can be set to show in an overall Today list and can be ordered as you want - I prefer the order in which they are due. I use it mostly on my iPhone but also love that it not only syncs with my iPad
  21. [R91] TickTick:To-Do List & Calendar 5/5 · GB Absolutely fantastic: I cannot think of anything dissatisfying of this app. It syncs fast, at least between my windows laptop and iPhone. The premium price is reasonable. Calendar view is very clear. It’s easy to add tasks. I’ve tried few management apps but finally return to this one. Devs, please keep up the good work!
