### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-07-03, version 1.0.3*

One of the most beautiful apps I’ve found for habit tracking - very clean and polished, and very effective! I can’t manage to get the “To do” tasks to stay, they vanish as soon as they’re saved, maybe a bug? Otherwise I love it! 

(Bug fixed! Yay! This app is truly perfect!)

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.2*

One of the most beautiful apps I’ve found for habit tracking - very clean and polished, and very effective! I can’t manage to get the “To do” tasks to stay, they vanish as soon as they’re saved, maybe a bug? Otherwise I love it!

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to stick with

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.2*

I’ve tried a few habit tracker apps, but this one feels clean and easy to use. It doesn’t feel overwhelming, and adding habits is quickkk!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.2*

Really simple habit tracker with no unnecessary clutter. The reminders are useful, and the progress tracking makes it easy to stay consistent. Decent app overall.

### 5/5 — Best habit tracker of 2026

*2026-05-13, version 1.0.2*

Downloaded Aroha last week and already built 3 solid habits.

### 5/5 — My new morning anchor

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.2*

Started using Aroha to track water, reading, and workouts. The insights tab showed me I’m most consistent on weekdays, which helped me adjust my goals. App is smooth, no bugs, and the vibe is very “you got this.

### 5/5 — Tracking habits is quick and easy

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.2*

,                                                                    The  app looks nice and runs smoothly. Tracking habits is quick and easy, which I appreciate. It has a Pomodoro timer built in, which makes it better than other apps that only track habits. Hoping they build more AI-driven features in the future updates!

### 5/5 — Finally a habit app that sticks

*2026-05-09, version 1.0.2*

I’ve tried 6+ habit trackers and Aroha is the first one I actually open daily. The design is calming, streaks keep me motivated, and it doesn’t shame you if you miss a day. Just feels supportive. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — The easiest app to stick with

*2026-05-08, version 1.0.2*

I’ve tried a bunch of habit apps and this one is definitely one of the easier ones to stick with. It doesn’t overwhelm you, which is nice. But at the same time, it almost feels too minimal. A few more features would make it a lot better. Great start though.

### 5/5 — Clean, simple, no overwhelm

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.2*

Aroha nails the basics. Easy to add habits, great visuals for tracking progress, and zero clutter. I love the gentle reminders — they actually get me to act instead of just feeling guilty. Highly recommend for building routines.
