- [R1] Any.do Newest update is awful: The latest update destroyed the app. Any time I try to add items to various shopping lists it shows up as a blank checkbox under “other”. I’ve deleted the shopping list, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, and it still won’t show the items I’ve added to my list. Not much I can do with an invisible shopping list…
- [R6] Any.do So buggy: These days it seems like the bugs are everywhere
- [R62] Habit Tracker GREAT APP! GET IT!: I got a one time lifetime purchase for the pro and I am super grateful! I love this habit app so far! It is very easy to use and I love the encouragement it gives me when I complete each task!🍕🎮😊🎉🎊👍🏻
- [R65] Habit Tracker Best tracker app ever: I love this. I’ve been using it for years. It’s perfect. Simple powerful and I have used it every day. I believe it’s helped me become a better person. Thank you!
- [R3] Any.do Not that intuitive: Not that intuitive
- [R40] Any.do Not intuitive: I downloaded the app and as soon as I opened it for the first time, it was populated with hundreds of items pulled from either notes, or iCal or who knows what but there was no easy way to delete them all and just start from a blank slate. I don’t even know where it pulled them from. If an app is painful to use right from the beginning, I’m out.
- [R101] Habit Tracker Great app! Easy to use: Does just what I need. Looks good, easy to use, UI just feels natural. I like the stats I get about my habits and it’s cool to track things with a memo as well. I use this app every day!
- [R58] Any.do Incredibly buggy after each update: Breaks after each update
- [R73] Habit Tracker 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???
- [R84] Habit Tracker Nice app but gosh this is killing me: Overall very like the design and the tracker, but this things just doesn’t sync through my devices. My MacBook doesn’t have habit created on my phone. Please fix this, dearest developers.
- [R12] Any.do Premium too expensive!: Too many things behind a way-too-expensive paywall! Can’t you lower the price? If you did, I’d pay for Premium.
- [R94] Habit Tracker NOT free , and goes beyond “in app purchase”: Downloaded it bc it said “ in app purchase . Nope . They ask for $$ right away . Forget this . Deleted
- [R83] Habit Tracker Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
- [R97] Habit Tracker This app sucks: I hate this app so much. It makes me buy everything anytime that I want to do literally anything and it said on the description free do not be fooled this app. It’s not free at all.
- [R30] Any.do Need support: I cancelled the subscription before the trial end period and it’s showing I have the plan until 2024. Sent an email but haven’t heard from anyone yet. Need to make sure I have been completely cancelled and not charged for an annual subscription.
- [R49] Any.do Highly frustrating: I upgraded to the family plan today and wasted a good chunk of my afternoon trying to get the app to work. Tried to delete a board I didn’t want and it won’t go away. Tried to rename grocery list and can’t. Emails to reset password never arrived. Tried on desktop and had more success, but then when I grab my phone to add something, none of those updates are synced, even an h
- [R112] Habit Tracker 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.
- [R60] Any.do Sad to say ‘goodbye”: I’ve used this app for probably 4/5 years now but sadly have to bid it farewell. My issue started about 5 months ago (Dec. ‘20) whereby typing in tasks became a chore because of a seriously infringing lag, which today has become even worse (I basically can’t use the app anymore). The support team, over the years, and with this issue, have been 1st class. Communications are
- [R63] Habit Tracker 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❤️
