I loved the book by Clear, and he is such a stunning writer. Which is why I was disappointed in this app where you could only track a max of 3 habits at a time, and only if you pay $119 a year! It would simply be better to follow his advice in the book, and track your own habits through a journal or other better apps.
I’m sure this app could help a lot of people! It’s well designed in the way it prompts you with knowledge and mindset facts as you create the habit through the UI.
Sadly though if you have more than 1 habit and want to use it, you’ll be committing to $100+ a year. To me that’s insanely excessive for an app to track and improve habits - though I can see the dev has continued to respond with all the other frills of the app, which is great for those who can afford and desire it. But for just a habit tracker that price is steep.
It seems allowing even just 3-4 habits on the free version, or offering a lower paid tier would improve the apps total impact by increasing accessibility to those people that can’t quite afford that high yearly cost, but want to make a life change.
Thank God someone designed an App that actually helped me develop better habits.
I have benefitted from several of the teachings of James Clear. This app is going to let me put it in to practical use. Exciting days ahead.
Stoked about this app, I already feel
More motivation about and pride in the things that I have accomplished. Have recommended to friends and family.
Such a wonderful way to keep track of habits! I love the design and it keeps me super motivated!!
Excited to see how this helps me
The only reason I gave it a 1 was because I couldn’t get past the sign in page to try the app & there was no way to get to use it because it would force quit the app.
I retried it when it updated. It looks good but if you want the pro to do more things it is a hefty price of over $100. Think that’s a little high. I’m going to try it for the month to see if I like it and then I’ll decided if it’s worth the free version or not.

I can create all sorts of habit notifications for less than that and buy Atomic Habits the book for everything else with the remaining money.
Opening the menu >> help and support section also froze the app.

With this system, you can only add a second habit after you’ve done your first 1 at least 3 times. It forces your to slow down and actually develop at a comfortable pace. Since these are small but mighty habits, it’s worth taking the 3 days of repetition to get it right. I stand by this app 100%. I had some glitches when playing around with it on launch day, and I’m confident they will be ironed out in time. I highly encourage everyone to be patient with the app, I think you will find it worth it in the long run.
