But as I made my 3rd goal/habit, which was playing my guitar 🎸 it said that was it… You have to pay after 3 goals and the screen it was on was hard to manage.a though I think it really could have helped! So that being said it’s a great app from kids, bodybuilders, or moms this app has A LOT of potential, but you do have to use time and money for this… Wishing the best! ### 4/5 — Plant shelf? *2026-03-23, version 1.5.7* I love this app! The only thing that made me sad was that when my plant finished growing and I started a new one, the old plant disappeared. If we could create a “shelf” of finished plants and then add the new plant to the shelf, that would be perfect!! ### 2/5 — Not updating *2025-07-09, version 1.5.7* I dont think they are updating the app anymore. I reported an error over email and heard nothing back. It would’ve been a great app ### 3/5 — Simple, useful - but worth the lifetime subscription fee? *2025-06-19, version 1.5.7* Love the simplicity of the app, but having paid the lifetime subscription fee, I’m disappointed that there aren’t more color schemes, icons, etc. I’m not seeing an option to make a widget for it, which would be ideal — being able to tap the widget to update/complete a habit, for instance. ### 3/5 — More habits please. *2025-01-17, version 1.5.7* It is a great app works pretty well and everything but only allows 3 habits then you have to buy pro... I would be fine with that if it was say, 8 habits then you had to buy pro, but only 3? Othere than that, pretty good app. ### 4/5 — Manca una cosa … *2024-12-28* Widget ### 2/5 — Bitte fixen / weiterentwickeln *2024-12-28* Wenn ich den Fortschritt einer Gewohnheit zurücknehme (langes Drücken), wird dieser nicht in der Kalenderansicht zurückgenommen. Ich unterstütze gerne mit Pro aber dass so ein Basic Fehler nach scheinbar 1 Jahr (letztes Update) immer noch nicht gefixt ist, geht echt nicht! Da fühlt man sich etwas verarscht. Vor allem wenn suggeriert wird, dass der Kauf von Pro bei der Entwicklung unterstützt (die scheinbar stillsteht). 14,99€ für den aktuellen Umfang finde ich überzogen. Feedback bzgl. umfangreicheren Statistiken aus alten Kommentaren wurden bisher auch nicht umgesetzt. Zeigt uns bitte, dass ihr weitermacht, dann passe ich die Bewertung auch gerne nach oben an. Das Design ist nämlich absolut genial und ich würde sehr gerne 5 Sterne geben ;) ### 3/5 — Planet *2024-10-25, version 1.5.7* The leafe is growing slowly ### 5/5 — Really good app *2024-08-14, version 1.5.7* I overall really like this app there is a premium option but the app is still enjoyable without it. The only thing I would ask is that the ad a widget to display on your Home Screen. This app is really nice definitely should download. ### 5/5 — Lily *2024-05-30, version 1.5.7* this is s good app but it should be totally free ### 2/5 — Not working but cute *2024-03-22, version 1.5.7* So when I first saw this app I thought that it looked really nice and when I downloaded it everything was going well but when I tried to make habits they didn’t show up, so if you could fix this then please do cause I really like the look of this app ### 5/5 — Applicazione funzionale e carina *2024-03-15* Complimenti agli sviluppatori ☺️ ### 4/5 — Enjoying the app, although wish there were more options to customise *2024-02-22, version 1.5.7* In particular - the morning reminder notification can only be set to 8am, which is after I’ve completed my morning routine. Would it be possible to make this customisable? ### 4/5 — La mejor aplicación para hábitos *2024-02-16* La aplicación es de las mejores para motivarte a hacer tus hábitos, además es súper sencilla y bonita. No le doy 5 estrellas porque le falta la sincronización de datos con iCloud, es vital para cualquier aplicación. ### 5/5 — I love this *2024-02-12, version 1.5.7* This app is awesome because you build habits and grow a plant this is awesome if you want to drink more water or workout or read for a amount of Time I love this it’s life changing btw I’m 10 I so recommend ### 2/5 — Schlicht, aber noch nicht gut *2024-02-05* Obwohl ich Pro gekauft habe, gibt es keine erweiterten Statistiken. Und habe ich vergessen, an einem der letzten Tage meine Gewohnheit zu tracken, dann habe ich Pech gehabt. Überhaupt möchte ich nach einer gewissen Zeit auswerten, wieviel Wasser getrunken und wieviel Workout-Arbeit erledigt wurde. All das kann mir die App nicht anzeigen. Die Optik ist schön, aber was nutzt es bei so geringer Praxistauglichkeit? Die „wachsende Pflanze“ ist dabei leider nicht viel mehr als ein Scherz. Hoffentlich tut sich da noch was! ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-01-22, version 1.5.7* I love the simple and lovely design of this app. It’s ease of use makes it a no-brainer. I had the app for about a week before I realized that this could revolutionize my life, and I did end up buying the lifetime membership. Now I’ve had it for about a month and I couldn’t be happier. I use it as a daily to-do for house cleaning. Every day I have the habits “put a load of laundry in” and “fold yesterday’s laundry and put away.” I have load the dishwasher in the evening and put dishes away before work in the morning. And then I made a series of “weekly habits” to spend 30 minutes each day on a different room in the house. And it’s working. Sure I don’t get to the laundry every day. But even with a little inconsistency my laundry pile shrinks more than it grows. That’s the mind blowing thing, I’m watching my little avocado plant grow, and my house, while far from spotless, is starting to feel more like a home and less like a noose. This app is a gentle positive reminder of what I want to accomplish, and frankly that’s exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Wunderbar simple App *2024-01-09* Ich habe Avocation zwei Wochen ausprobiert und geschaut, ob ich sie täglich benutze, bevor ich mir die Pro-Version gekauft habe. In der kostenlosen Version kannst du bis zu drei Gewohnheiten eintragen. Die App ist wunderbar schlicht und nicht überfrachtet, ich mach das UI wirklich sehr. Die Texte liegen mir besonders am Herzen, ich freu mich wie Bolle, wenn hier mehr dazukommt. Sie sind ungemein hilfreich, sich selbst zu reflektieren. Lieben Dank an alle Entwickler:innen, ihr habt ein tolles Produkt geschaffen! ### 3/5 — Bug on data *2024-01-07* The app is great, however I found a bug that even when you complete all of your habits it doesn’t mark them in the calendar. Hope they fix this. Already pay the fee.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You need membership even if you want to do more than three tasks *2025-10-27, version 1.5.7* It’s really annoying how we need memberships it would be soooooooo much better if there was no membership ### 1/5 — Only useable if you pay for it *2024-01-01, version 1.5.7* Extremely poor app. At this rate, just make it an app you have to purchase instead of wasting the time of people who want to improve their lifestyle but don’t have the money to buy in app purchases ### 1/5 — No sincroniza *2023-12-12* La compré en Google Play Store y ahora tengo que volver a comprarla para tenerla en AppStore. ### 1/5 — A paid app disguised as free *2023-11-13, version 1.5.7* This app doesn’t let you do anything useful with it until after payment, despite being listed as free. ### 1/5 — Sacanagem *2023-09-15* Eu paguei para ter o app completo pois preciso de bastante auxílio na minha organização. Estava sendo muito útil até que tive que trocar de celular e agora não consigo mais ter acesso à minha conta que era ilimitada. Tenho que pagar de novo só pq troquei de celular, isso é um absurdo. ### 1/5 — Muito bonitinho porém *2023-07-13* Só da para ter dois hábitos se quiser mais tem que pagar 25. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate data *2023-06-15* Ui and the concept is good but upon clicking on the dashboard it is showing inaccurate for the previous dates ### 1/5 — Does not work as promised *2022-09-20, version 1.5.1* The calendar feature just spins and does not pull in any data. Paid $9.99 to see if that would make it work but it didn’t fix it. You also cannot go back in time to record things if you forgot to record it the day of. ### 1/5 — Pay for what?? *2022-08-28, version 1.5.1* I paid for the app and absolutely nothing. It’s exactly as it was before. They didn’t ask for any details so how do they know I’ve paid??? I’ve just paid for nothing. 😡 ### 1/5 — Broken and Very Limited *2022-01-24, version 1.4.4* Has very limited features, tells you to upgrade for more, and then never gives you the option to upgrade anywhere on the app or the app store. Cute app but not worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cute and functional *2026-08-19, version 1.5.7* I can’t wait for more icons and colors, but for now it’s a great start. Such promise! ### 5/5 — almost perfect *2026-05-27, version 1.5.7* i love this app, it's simple yet useful yet aesthetic and everything i've been looking for. however, i would also like if it came with a widget showing the tasks i had left, just so i can see it and remember it better as i have adhd. good app! ### 5/5 — Very comforting and must have. *2026-01-26, version 1.5.7* Simple. Easy to enjoy. Warm and welcoming. Feel rewarding when I complete my habits and reading the short reads are refreshing also. Definitely recommend if you tired of being overwhelmed ### 5/5 — Easy, Love it *2025-01-21, version 1.5.7* Wanted to track a few daily habits and see past patterns without being overloaded by complicated interface or high cost. Tried a bunch before I found this. Effective, easy to use, and beautiful. Thank you so much developers! 🫶🏼 ### 5/5 — Adorabile *2025-01-04* Molto molto carina! Vi prego sviluppate il widget 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Daily Motivation *2024-12-29, version 1.5.7* Daily Habits that keep my targets on track. I wish there was an option to create Habits that can be tracked over the week or month ### 5/5 — Sencilla *2024-12-21, version 1.5.7* Este Applicacion es sencilla y bonita! ### 5/5 — Awesome Habit Tracker! *2024-12-15, version 1.5.7* Don’t Wait, Or It’s Too Late! • Captain Obvious ### 5/5 — I love it *2024-08-25, version 1.5.7* I think this is an amazing way to plan! ### 5/5 — Super 😍 *2024-08-25* Bisher habe ich erst die kostenlose Version, da ich die App erst seit ein paar Tagen habe, aber ich finde es super! ❤️ Ich werde mir definitiv in Zukunft auch noch die pro version holen, denn ich finde es gut dass es eine einmalige Zahlung ist denn Abos Stressen mich total. Ich liebe außerdem die Idee mit der wachsenden Pflanze; allgemein ist die App super gestaltet. Ebenfalls sind die Artikel sehr informativ, ich habe sehr viele Leute in den Rezensionen gesehen wie sie gesagt haben dass es sie nerven würde dass die Artikel auf Englisch sind: mich persönlich stört das allerdings nicht. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
