  1. [R8] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Great app: Love this app I like how it has the minutes too and it is just really nice
  2. [R11] Habit Tracker 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
  3. [R14] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Great App: I would love if the habits had subtask like the apple reminders it would be a great addition and truly make this the perfect app.
  4. [R21] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US No rolling windows: This app is okay but not what I’m looking for. I am in search of a habit tracker that tracks in rolling windows rather than resetting at the start of a new goal period. It doesn’t seem that this tool offers that. Bummer.
  5. [R1] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US This app sucks: It’s not intuitive.
  6. [R12] Habit Tracker 3/5 · US how to change group name: ? please let me know
  7. [R29] Habit Tracker 4/5 · US Near perfect: I use this app all the time, it’s great and I love it. It’s intuitive, easy, and makes a nice routine. My only wish is that I could add daily to do items as well. I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a habit tracker.
  8. [R9] Habit Tracker 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.
  9. [R10] Habit Tracker 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???
  10. [R13] Habit Tracker 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.
  11. [R16] Habit Tracker 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.
  12. [R3] Habit Tracker 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❤️
  13. [R15] Habit Tracker 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
  14. [R4] Habit Tracker 2/5 · US No Way to Delete Account: I’d like to delete my account and don’t see a way to get in contact with the developer or delete through the settings. Please delete my account.
  15. [R49] Habit Tracker 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.
  16. [R55] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US not offering honest products: frequently not given ability to redeem purchased products therefore the “premium” offered is not premium but a deceptive money theft . information improvement since receiving a developer response developer refuses to rectify restore purchase theft and is harassing Apple clientele please look somewhere other than the developer of this application line for an honest an
  17. [R61] Fabulous 1/5 · US Would give less if I could: Another app where the only purposes to rip everyone off. This is garbage! I immediately knew that I did not want this. This wasn’t what I was looking for and I Cancelled immediately and yet they still charged me 39.99. And there’s no way to contact the company. “Contact us” just tells you to open the app and there’s no way to contact anyone there. Useless garbage design
  18. [R40] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Have to pay: This app sucks your only allowed to have 6 habits at a time and if you need more like me you have to pay $20 for it
  19. [R47] Habit Tracker 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.
  20. [R17] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
  21. [R32] Habit Tracker 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.
  22. [R67] Fabulous 1/5 · US Predatory subscription fees: I canceled this app back in March. Low and behold, my credit card is still getting dinged. Don’t believe all of the front-loaded paid reviews here. Just look at how many people they’ve essentially been robbing with hidden subscription fees. Do not download this app. Run. Don’t believe the “good guy here to help” image they are trying to create. Any company who makes yo
  23. [R70] Fabulous 1/5 · US Scam: Charged me $40 and I never signed up. My account says “free account”. Impossible to cancel a membership or contact anyone with all these asinine pop-ups. Run away
  24. [R73] Fabulous 1/5 · US Terrible Experience: Total scam. First of all, ridiculously annoying user experience. They make you sit through all sorts of weird animations before you can even interact with app. Secondly, super shady how they make it so hard to cancel. “Delete Account” is not a cancellation - learned that when I was charged $40 a month after I thought I had cancelled. The ‘Contact Us’ link leads to a 404 page.
  25. [R63] Fabulous 3/5 · US Lots of Graphics: The app is very useful for habit tracking and coaching. However, I get very frustrated trying to check off the items in my routine and having to wait for multiple 10 second graphics that play out every time I press a checkbox. There needs to be a setting that limits the forced interruptions with using the app. Please! I want to be able to check off my list in 5 seconds not severa
  26. [R69] Fabulous 3/5 · US The app is too busy: I really wanted to like this, the graphics are pretty, the idea of the journeys is great, but the app is so busy that it makes it harder to actually keep focused on the habits themselves. My ideal experience would provide the step by step habit building suggestions and then make it easy to actually check off and track the completion rate, not take me into multiple screens or b
  27. [R81] Fabulous 3/5 · US Too many “journeys”: I liked the idea behind this app, but it’s really cluttered and messy to use. There are way too many things to click, too many “journeys”, too many screens to click through on each thing you do, too many graphics (which feel juvenile; maybe I’m too old for this app?). It just doesn’t feel legitimate with all of the weird cartoons and doesn’t line up with the idea that all of t
  28. [R84] Fabulous 3/5 · US Nice idea - super over the top interface: I like the notion of the app, it’s definitely helping me with my habit tracking and developing. However, the user interface is just so much! There’s fairies and chimes and little creatures popping up every 2 seconds… I wish there was a way to tone it down (I’ve tried turning off the sound but it doesn’t work)…
