Great app, but no sync with Apple Watch
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! We use iCloud to sync data across all user devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. This technology allows us to provide a great user experience while maintaining privacy. You are correct that it is required to enable iCloud to sync data with the Apple Watch, but all your data is private and securely encrypted on Apple's servers. No one but you can access it. We don't even require you to create a dedicated account – all you need is your standard Apple ID. We are sorry that this requirement leads to your dissatisfaction with our app. However, we want to assure you that we take privacy very seriously. If you have any further feedback, questions, or concerns about privacy, please contact us at feedback@awesome-habits.com.
Reminders don't work
The widget is useless. I only have weekly and monthly things and yet the widget insists on using daily and thus making me unable to see anything unless I open the app.
Helpful. Easy UI
The UI is really nice and intuitive and I find myself using the widget all the time when drinking more water (something I want to do). The history and habit percentage section is also useful to keep tabs on how well you’re doing.
I signed up to the yearly plan which works out at around £1 per month, which includes backup and restore.
Keep up the good work devs!
Great habit tracking app
The one feature that I would like to see is the ability to set a unit other than 1 for count (e.g. if I have a goal to write 500 words in a day, I’d like to be able to tap once for each 100 words that I write). Even without this feature it’s pretty much a 5 star app for me.

Thank you for a very nice review! We are happy that you are enjoying our app! Also thanks a lot for your feature suggestion. Just to clarify for readers of this review, our app allows users to set unlimited goals and in a habit detail, it's possible to quickly add progress using buttons (+10, +100...) or set any progress using the "Change value" option. But tapping a habit circle always adds +1 to the progress. The possibility to define custom progress to add by tapping a circle is on our roadmap and it will very likely come with one of the future updates.
Awesome habit tracker
A fairly viable Streaks alternative
- Just recently, it added the ability to attach a URL to a habit.
Here’s what it has over Streaks right now:
- Unlimited habits. You aren’t limited to 24.
- Habit categorization: via lists, which operate like tags, meaning you can add multiple lists to one habit
- The ability to add units past a goal
- With Streaks, once you get the habit done, that’s it. You can’t, say, add one more hour to a Play Piano habit because you already hit your goal.
- Awesome let’s you add more hours even when you hit your goal, making it more close to Strides in tracking.
- Just recently, it added the ability to attach a description to a habit.
Here’s where it lacks:
- It’s library of Apple Health synced habits is still limited when compared to Streaks. I don’t believe I can sync things like tooth brushing.
- You can only run one timer at once and it must be done while the app is still open. If you exit the screen, the timer will stop.
- Lack of badges. You’ll have to enter the app each time to know how many habits you have yet to complete.
- The only way to filter habits is via lists. You can’t text search them or filter them by status yet.

Thank you for your positive feedback and great suggestions! We're excited to confirm that most of the features you're missing are already on our roadmap and will most likely come in future updates: - Extended Apple Health support - Multiple background timers - Badge with number of habits to complete - Filtering by status + we'll also consider your idea of a full-text search If you have any further feedback or ideas, please let us know anytime at feedback@awesome-habits.com
Favorite habit tracker app.
I love how it looks and it’s super easy to use . It’s also got a ton of customization options .
Some of my favorite features are the built in timer , and the fact that you can use it to build good habits or break bad ones . Also the fact that you can track by time spent on bad habits instead of being all or nothing where you fail if you do the thing at all .
I also like the fact that you can adjust time manually later if you forget to turn the timer on or off . It was also nice to be able to go back and add the streak I had on meditation before I had purchased the app .
The only thing I’d do different is give more sound options for when you are checking off a habit . Right now I have the sound turned off because I don’t like the default chime .
But that’s a minor thing with all the other things I love about the app. I got the lifetime subscription.
