Brilliant!!

Love everything about this app. One thing that would be incredible to add would be a connection with screen time to show as a negative habit time spent on for example instagram or TikTok. Otherwise from this, this is a winner and I use it daily.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review. We are happy that you are enjoying our app! We'd love to integrate screen time tracking into our app, but the API is currently limited for privacy reasons. If it changes in future iOS releases, we'll definitely implement it. If you have any further feedback or ideas, please feel free to contact us anytime at feedback@awesome-habits.com.

Very helpful

Update: The developer responded to my concerns, which is appreciated. I figured out how to use Apple health with this, but it only syncs FROM Apple health, not TO it. I would prefer if it synced both ways. One other thing that I would like is if it added an option to sync “state of mind” from Apple health, and then have some sort of chart or statements about correlations between your mood and habits. That’s the only thing it’s really missing IMO. Overall I’ve really been enjoying this app. It’s really well thought out, and quite customizable. It’s motivating me to stay on track with my habits.

The apple health habits are not working. I have habits turned on in apple health and have iCloud backup on. The problem is I add an Apple health habit, but there is no way to mark it off as completed. When I tried contacting them for help, it is asking me to download the mail app, which I do not use. So, two big problems.. no contact info, and apple health habits not working. I like the app otherwise. I am in the free trial, but likely will cancel unless these issues are resolved.

Update: Thanks for your additional feedback! Third-party apps currently can't read State of mind data, but it looks like new options are coming with iOS 18, we're exploring them now. We will definitely consider adding this feature in future updates. ----- Thank you for your feedback! Our app supports Apple Health, but currently only in read mode. To update your health metrics, you can use the Apple Health app or some dedicated app available on the App Store. The ability to update Apple Health records directly from the app is likely to come in future updates. We're sorry that you couldn't contact us directly from the app. As you said, it requires an installed email app. We will definitely look into this issue. In the meantime, you can always contact us at feedback@awesome-habits.com

Awesome app that can be improved further

I love how reliable, useful, and usable the app is. I also very much appreciate its integration with Apple Health and its seamless synchronization across my devices. Special kudos to the UX! If I were to suggest further improvements to make it even more awesome, these would as follows:
Ability to choose between distance and time for such endurance workouts as running, hiking, walking, swimming, cycling, etc.
Ability to combine several endurance workouts (such as those listed above). I want just to reach a weekly goal of doing so many hours of endurance workouts every week, rather than have seepage goals for cycling, swimming, running, hiking, etc.
Ability to set a goal for so many minutes per week of Zone 2 training (not sure if Apple Health API allows collection of such data).
Ability to assign different weights (e.g., between 1 and 10) to different habits, depending on their importance/priority for me. This way, the percentage achieved every day/week/month would be a function of those weights.
Overall a great app for gamifying habit development and tracking one’s habits. Big thanks to the developer(s)!

Awesome Habits. Awesome App.

Every time I start with a new productivity system I over complicate it. Not with this. Empty rings bad. Filled rings good. Habits are incredibly simple to set up and customize. Back filling is easy and day/week/month views are great. The widgets put habits front and center and performing a habit has become a welcome alternative to getting swept up in social media.

With my setup, a “meh” day means about 70%— C work, but a better baseline (and better streaks!) than I’ve had in the past. 100% days really count and include a mix of baseline habits, tracked dietary needs, and other positive activities.

I only have two (minor) complaints:
- You can seemingly only change the primary ring color by changing the app to mono. Can we please set the primary ring color separately?
- Similarly, you can’t set colors on lists, so you have to manage lists and colors separately. List colors, still separate from individual habit colors but with the option to apply to all habits, would be hugely appreciated.

Wishlist:
- Expanding on the above, a view with a circle for each list’s progress with respective colors + an icon for each
- Mark a habit as “Bonus” so it contributes to the total percentage in a way that can exceed 100%

My recommendation— Get it. There are similar apps out there, but none that balance simplicity and functionality in such a satisfyingly iOS-like way.

Thank you so much for your positive review and ideas for improvement! More list customizations are likely to come in future updates. We'll definitely consider your other ideas as well! If you have any other feedback, please let us know anytime at feedback@awesome-habits.com

Awesome!

The app works really well! Enjoying it.

Would love the following features:

1. All me to make a goal out of any Apple health metric, I don't think you need to build them all in, but rather just a section within the "custom habit" to pick a health stat so that it can automatically connect to that health data.
2. An "On or Off Track" status indicator for the habits that are weekly or monthly as well as one for the daily status. In other words if my status is weekly, but it's tracking sugar intake, I really have no idea if I'm on track with my goal or not which forces me to to some math in my head "ok we're halfway through the week and it looks like I'm less than halfway done so I should work on this today" rather than seeing the gap between where I should be and where I am, or inverse, the fact that I can ignore that habit today because I'm already ahead. Without this feature it makes weekly and monthly goals difficult to achieve.

Thank you very much for your feedback, we're happy that you are enjoying our app! We will definitely consider both of your suggestions for future updates. As for Apple Health support, you can already find the most common metrics in the templates, and we plan to add more in the future. What specific metrics are you missing?

Best habit tracker app out there, hands down!

After trying several habit trackers and finding all of them clunky and not user friendly, I discovered Awesome Habits and this is hands down the best habit tracker out there. It has by far the cleanest and most easy to use user interface, and I love how you can quickly change the order of your habits. You can easily archive habits once they have stuck, and you can build habits, or break them. You can customize how you want the interface to look and feel and I love the custom icon and emoji feature. I could go on and on, but you get the point. I am a massive massive fan and HIGHLY recommend this app above all habit trackers out there so everyone wanting to build good habits or break bad ones. Hats off to the Awesome Habits team!

Best App for Habits/Tasks Out There

Sometimes, too much is like not enough.

This app keep things focused, no egregious features that distract you from the essential.

Also, one of the most visually pleasing and intuitive app out there. Visual animations are rewarding in themselves.

Thanks for this awesome app!

Good so far, but I have one issue

I’ve been using this tracker for a couple of weeks now, I enjoy it and like its simplicity and organization. I pretty quickly paid for premium to try it out for a month as only 3 tracked items is a low number. I find the app and its reminders to be unobtrusive, which I like overall but could be a problem if you’re relying on it yelling at you to do or not do something.

My one request/issue: one item I’d love to easily track is intermittent fasting. It is possible to do this at the moment using the timer function, however there’s no way for me to start the timer, for the fast that will end tomorrow, on the day I begin fasting. I have to wait until after midnight in order to track the completed fast as a successful item on the day I completed it. I’m not entirely sure how this would be implemented with the current setup/options in the app, but it would be great to have a timer that can be stopped and the next day’s timer started on the same day.

Thank you very much for your feedback! We will definitely consider adding the ability to track intermittent fasting in future updates. Regarding the reminders, if you would like to share any specific ideas on how to improve them, please contact us at feedback@awesome-habits.com

Need fix sync issue

The app is excellent overall. However, I've noticed a recurring issue where updates to habit descriptions or titles often revert to previous versions. I'm unsure if this is a synchronization problem or related to iCloud. Could you please address this issue?

Aside from that, I'm very impressed with the app's ability to record detailed descriptions and sync seamlessly between iPhone and Mac.

Once this issue is resolved, I'll gladly give the app a 5-star rating.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your feedback! We are now intensively investigating this issue, but have not yet been able to reproduce it in our environment. Could you please contact us at feedback@awesome-habits.com? We would like to ask some details, it would help us a lot.

Finally the app that does what I’ve always wanted

So many apps never do the interactive simple habit widget properly or at all. I’ve been after this for years. Works great on Lock Screen and Home Screen. Great UX/UI too! Kudos!

Can it connect to fitness pal one day? Seeing how close I am to calories or protein goals etc on here would be awesome!
