  1. [R28] I am 1/5 · US I wish I could give more: This app is okay, but I was disappointed with my overall experience. After a few days of use, I noticed that many of the affirmations felt repetitive often the same messages, just slightly reworded. This was especially frustrating because I selected multiple affirmation categories during sign-up and expected more variety. What really upset me was the billing. I signed up
  2. [R22] I am 2/5 · US Paywall: Was great when there were at least a couple of readable options not smashed behind an extremely expensive paywall. Now you have to pay $60/yr just to change the wallpaper to something more accessible. Very disappointing. I might have been willing to support the devs financially by opting for a premium subscription once I’m in a place to if I had at least something to work with with the fr
  3. [R66] 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❤️
  4. [R78] 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
  5. [R6] I am 3/5 · US Annoying lying notifications: I’m about to delete this app, it’s driving me nuts. Recently within the last couple months I’ve started getting notifications throughout the day about ‘losing my streak’ even though I’ve already checked the app. Now I’m getting about 6 notifications a day about ‘losing my streak’, ‘only one freeze available’ and now ‘start a new streak’ which came an hour after a ‘
  6. [R49] I am 1/5 · US Too many notification on stupidness: I am so tired of the amount of notifications I get to “continue your streak” or something else. I just want some fun notifications of a motivational quote but this app is so obsessed with making sure you “keep your streak” “ Last chance before you lose your streak!” “Hurry now before your streak freezes again” “you only have one day left before you lose your s
  7. [R76] 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???
  8. [R85] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Im in a bad mood: Subscribed to premium, got an email that my subscription was confirmed, but the app still thinks I haven’t subscribed to premium. Im not getting any of the premium benefits. Still being prompted to subscribe to premium despite the fact that, as previously stated, I already have.
  9. [R12] I am 3/5 · US Great app: The app will alert me about my streak as if I never went on the app when I did. So that’s definitely a bug.
  10. [R31] I am 1/5 · US Affirmations App Malfunction: app keeps malfunctioning and not updating my affirmations. they only show the ones i already loved, no new affirmations and the widget does not work. it keeps asking me to ‘tap to activate widget’ every single day. this app was so much better a few years ago. please fix or i’ll have to delete it and find another affirmations app. thanks!
  11. [R82] 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. [R21] I am 3/5 · US Wonderful but costly: I love the affirmations it provides. It does help with improving a positive thinking mindset, but it is way too costly for individuals who are low income.
  13. [R68] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Love this app so much!: The only money you have to spend is a one-time payment of a pretty reasonable amount, and you unlock all of their features for life, unlike most other habit tracker apps. I love the aesthetic of the app, and how many options it gives you for managing your habits, while still having a very streamlined design. I’ve been using it for years, and seeing the little “🔥 700 days” o
  14. [R98] Habit Tracker 5/5 · US Amazing: The lifetime membership fee is $8.99. You can’t beat that for an app this awesome.
  15. [R10] I am 1/5 · US Horrible: I sighed up for a free trial that said it would alert me when it was time to be charged it didn’t and it charged me 75$
  16. [R60] I am 2/5 · US So expensive, charged me unfairly: I like this app but it charged me even after i cancelled the free trial! why isn’t there an option to continue through the app for only the free version?? how do i get a refund?? I can’t afford to lose 50 dollars for this.. i’ve contacted my bank already
  17. [R64] Habit Tracker 1/5 · US Cancelled and still getting charged!: Trying to get them to stop charging me.
  18. [R115] 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.
