### 2/5 — It doesn’t work with new os

*2025-09-21, version 2019.9.30*

It now freezes ever since I updated my phone and is useless. I’ve lost all my years of data and and can’t add new. It’s so sad.

### 2/5 — What happened

*2025-08-10, version 2019.9.30*

Been using this app for longer than I can remember, over a decade. And now it freezes and it apparently has been abandoned by the developer. I can’t add notes or check history  - it’s a lot of time investment into this app for the developer to just quit on it with no heads up to its loyal users.

### 2/5 — Very frustrating experience that wastes a lot of time

*2025-01-13, version 2019.9.30*

The app overall runs very slow. I had to use the web version to add goals instead of adding them directly from my phone. Also each time I hit my goals of the day I had to refresh multiple times to add notes under those goals.

### 2/5 — Been using for 10 years

*2024-12-29, version 2019.9.30*

This app is still cool except it’s so glitchy. Any time I open it to try to see the check-ins for that goal it freezes EVERY TIME. What is their IT team doing if they’re not addressing all these glitches?! I no longer receive responses to my emails…year ago after no response to multiple inquiries, I sent an email requesting that the IT team fix glitches (they fixed the unable to add more goals glitch, would love to be able to go back further than 7 days to add a checked-off goal, and it glitches when trying to uncheck a goal if you accidentally tapped it…it freezes and you have to restart the app), but overall I love the longevity of the app and the user interface.

### 2/5 — Was great, now glitchy

*2024-12-10, version 2019.9.30*

I’ve been using this app for more than a decade but it hasn’t been updated for 5 years and now it’s extremely glitchy. It’s checking off habits I haven’t done and losing my streaks. I’m also not getting notifications from friends’ comments on the app any longer. I’m trying out other apps now because the developers seem to have forgotten about this app. Too bad, because it was once a fantastic app.

### 2/5 — Wont allow check in on iphone 16 randomly

*2024-09-21*

I got a new phone and the app allows me to check in on certain goals and not on others, seemingly very randomly. Also has some weird 1 of 21 next to each skill/goal which is very puzzling. It is 1 of 21 every day. Not only does it not allow certain goals for check in but the app crashes and has to be closed ea time.

### 2/5 — Won’t let me add a goal

*2024-03-23, version 2019.9.30*

I’m trying to add a goal “Drink a gallon of water”, but each time I click join, it glitches and won’t add the goal. I’ve used this app in the past and just redownloaded it because it used to work well for me. Please, someone fix my issue and I will be happy to change my review.

### 3/5 — Habit Tracker Feature Missing Key Functionality

*2024-01-23, version 2019.9.30*

I've been a dedicated user of Lift/Coach.me for over ten years, but I'm concerned about the app's future, particularly the Habit Tracker feature that I've valued highly. Recently, I've encountered significant issues: on my iPhone, attempting to add a new habit results in an "Error loading results" message. On the web app, while search results do appear, the option to add a new, undefined habit is absent. This limits users to adding only pre-existing habits, which is problematic if you're trying to add a habit with a slightly different name. I hope this feedback reaches the development team and that these issues can be addressed promptly. I'm aware that the original founder stepped down in 2022, and I extend my best wishes to the new management. I hope they continue the legacy of diligent bug fixes and app improvements.

### 2/5 — No longer works for me.

*2024-01-03, version 2019.9.30*

I’ve used this app for years and found it handy for tracking my own personal goals. 
Unfortunately, I can no longer add my own individual goals on the iOS app or from the website. 
The app just shows an “error when searching” message. 
I tried using the website version. The website shows the goals as created, but they don’t show up on my list. 
I contacted customer service yesterday but have yet to receive a reply. It’s a shame as I liked this app and now I’ll have to find another.

### 2/5 — Been using for 10 years

*2023-09-30*

This app used to be great but they no longer respond to emails. A year ago I sent an email requesting that the IT team fix glitches such as not being able to add more goals, the app glitching when you try to archive a goal and being able to go back further than 7 days to add a checked-off goal if you’ve been to busy but they only responded once with an automated copy-and-paste response which did not address any of my concerns. They also haven’t responded to my last two emails the past several months so this app clearly is not interested in helping their loyal users nor improving their app at all to fix all the many glitches and issues. Maybe I’ll make a rival app which will be better than this one since they’re so above reproach!

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2023-01-31, version 2019.9.30*

Seems like the developers have all but abandoned this app. Last update was three years ago. Functionality in many areas is broken. Devs still answer emails, last I checked, but they're not fixing bugs anymore as far as I can tell. Pretty much unusable now which is a shame, as it used to be great and a real favorite.

### 2/5 — Have not updated this app and fixed check in glitch

*2022-11-05, version 2019.9.30*

I have used coach.me for years and find it genuinely helpful. It is the distressing lack of attention to what has to be a glitch on the server end, to where at least a couple of times per year the check in function in the app malfunctions and fails to record checks. Sometimes you can succeed to check in on the web version or if you drill down into the calendar display for each habit…but it’s so annoying. Their FAQ on this issue blames the user more than the tech…then tells you: Delete and reinstall the app. 🤦🏽‍♂️

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2022-02-06, version 2019.9.30*

Used this app for years and loved it, but it’s abandonware at this point.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App freezing and crashing non stop

*2024-12-29, version 2019.9.30*

App always freezes and crashes and deletes data nowadays. Can’t export anymore. Why don’t you guys do a payment option or something so you can hire more people to upkeep the app? I’ll pay $20 or more and I’m sure most OG users would too

### 1/5 — Please fix crashing - then 5 stars!

*2024-12-14, version 2019.9.30*

Please fix the crashing - I can no longer check goals and my fellow coach friends are experiencing crashing too. We all don’t want to jump ship and go rise where but there have been rumblings of a mass exodus for us all to go to another non-crashing platform. Please fix ASAP. I love Coach and don’t want to leave.

### 1/5 — Freeze

*2024-12-13*

This app just did not work, freeezing all the time. Useless. Pity the idea was good.

### 1/5 — The app was good, but now consistently freezes up with no resolution to the problem.

*2024-10-21*

App was good to use and fulfilled its purpose with good features. However since a few weeks now when opening a habit causes the app to freeze, so I can no longer view weekly stats or properly track my habit’s progress. 

I followed all troubleshooting shooting steps but was unable to able to solve the problem. Reinstalling the app also did not help. 

I am on the latest iOS with 15 Pro.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2024-01-15, version 2019.9.30*

This was my favorite app until very recently. I’m not sure if they’re supporting it anymore as I have sent multiple questions to their Support email address with no response. A while back, I stopped being able to add new goals. I uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, etc. but no luck. As I mentioned, I reached out to their support team multiple times with your response. Very disappointing because this used to be a great app.

### 1/5 — The best and the worst app

*2024-01-05, version 2019.9.30*

I used to love this app, I had years of habits tracked. Suddenly I got logged out, and that’s when I realized that it’s full of glitches and bugs. I couldn’t log back in through Facebook, I couldn’t use my Facebook email to log in or create a new account. Writing to devs didn’t help. I decided to abandon my old account with years of data and create a new one, and what did I find out? I cannot create new habits anymore! What a shame! The worst part of it is that I tried to use other habit apps, even paid ones, and I hate all of them! They always miss something that I used to like in coach.me! I really don’t know what to do and I am so frustrated that they abandoned this app…

### 1/5 — Here today and gone today

*2023-12-07, version 2019.9.30*

Can’t search or add the habit I needed help with… no point to it and no help section….

### 1/5 — Not helpful - Coach sends automated messages for $25/week

*2022-10-30, version 2019.9.30*

Not helpful. I found the interface to be very unintuitive. There aren’t enough active members, so the community thing that is meant to set this app apart just isn’t there. So it’s just an app where you check daily tasks and there are better habit forming apps with more intuitive interfaces.

Then there’s the coach element. I paid for a while in hopes it might help with productivity and habit forming. It did not. The coach just sends automated canned messages that didn’t even seem to be tailored to me. Just very standard productivity related articles. I asked if I could receive some nudges occasionally and check ins and the coach said I could ask questions and they would answer. They did answer in the evening, but it was no help. I don’t really have questions for the coach. I need motivation from a coach and they didn’t provide that. It really didn’t make any difference having a coach then getting reminders from this app or any other app. There are mindfulness app that will send you daily motivational messages for free which would be the same thing. It was definitely not worth the $100 per month this ends up costing you.

I also just stopped my coaching and immediately lost access to all past messages. I’ve paid a few hundred dollars for those messages and I feel I should have access to them. I understand I won’t receive *new* messages and won’t have communication with the coach going forward, but I’ve paid good money for those past messages and can no longer see them. Not to mention, the week of coaching I’ve paid for is not even done and I have not been refunded any money so I should at least have access to the chats until this billing cycle is over.

Overall I’m highly disappointed with this app. It did not provide a community or a coach that did any work to help with accountability. The interface is bad and clunky to work with. All it is really is an app to check off daily tasks and if you have a coach you’ll receive occasional “motivational” messages. There are other apps that do this better.

### 1/5 — Lack of support

*2022-06-16, version 2019.9.30*

There is a bug (at least on my app) that prevents it from sending out notifications. When I tried to contact support, all I got was generic auto-feedback to read the FAQ (which of course the solution is not there). This lack of support basically renders the most important part of the app useless - the coaching. If this app fails in notifying users, what good is it for coaching?

### 1/5 — Приложение забросили?

*2022-05-08*

Несколько лет назад пользовалась - шикарное было приложение. Сейчас скачала - счётчик отметок работает некорректно, настройки и профиль грузятся очень долго; заходила ещё на сайт, так там вообще указывается, будто я 2020 отмечалась, хотя сейчас 2022. Учитывая давность последнего обновления, создаётся ощущение, что разработчики просто забросили сервис. Очень жаль

### 5/5 — Still my favorite

*2026-05-12, version 2026.04.21*

Still the most pleasing and easy to pick up habit app for me. I was using it back when it was called Lift. I put it down for awhile but I’ve come back to it. Sliding on the habit to turn it green, the simple but pleasing animations, the easy way to set weekly check-in goals. It doesn’t overcomplicate it. If I complete all check-ins I call it a “green day” because they’ve all turned green. Their coaching options are still there, but you don’t have to use them or pay anything to use the habit part of the app. All around solid and I’m glad it is still getting updates.

### 5/5 — Great Tool for Tracking Habits and Setting Goals

*2025-11-19, version 2025.10.16*

Coach.me is an excellent tool for tracking and improving my habits as I seek personal growth in several areas.  Bonus: They have live coaches available to help you break bad habits and hold you accountable to your goals.

### 5/5 — Great updates

*2025-11-12, version 2025.10.16*

Some apps just work and this is one of those!

### 5/5 — Been using for 10 years

*2024-11-01*

This app is still great. I no longer receive responses to my emails…year ago after no response to multiple inquiries, I sent an email requesting that the IT team fix glitches (they fixed the unable to add more goals glitch, would love to be able to go back further than 7 days to add a checked-off goal, and it glitches when trying to uncheck a goal if you accidentally tapped it…it freezes and you have to restart the app), but overall I love the longevity of the app and the user interface.

### 5/5 — My fave

*2023-05-16, version 2019.9.30*

My favorite app. Have been using this for 6 years every single day!! Made some awesome friends through it and there’s a sweet little community (or you can do your own thing too).

Update: 
I’m still using the app. It’s sad that they can’t pay a developer to fix the few bugs they gave with the app. Tony has left. The (free-habit) community is still going strong (you just have to know where and find the super-users). One particular goal has an incredible community and is changing lives. The coaching option truly works, if you find the right coach that doesn’t write back platitudes and doesn’t mind checking in daily. I’ve tried at least 5, and 2 were fantastic. Just cancel if yours doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Semplice

*2022-11-01*

Un app molto semplice, che permette di ricordare le attività da ripetere settimanalmente.

### 5/5 — thank you

*2022-05-13, version 2019.9.30*

It’s a pretty incredible how much I got for just the $25/week. Even when I wasn’t responding, they my coach kept checking in. I grew a lot through the direction and ideas I got from the coach. Probably the most valuable thing I have ever gotten in terms of bang-for-buck. It as only $25/week and my perspective on life completely changed for the better, which is a priceless investment!

### 5/5 — Keeps me on my toe

*2022-01-22, version 2019.9.30*

Loved this app. Was looking for something which can help me develop good habits and quit bad habits. This app is exactly doing what I want, also lots of people support included as well. So far working on my habits and also started developing good habits as well. 

Tx developers for such an amazing application. 

Tons of thanks 
Chetan

### 5/5 — Русский!

*2020-07-18*

Добавьте язык, а так все ок!

### 5/5 — My fave

*2020-01-21, version 2019.9.30*

My favorite app. Have been using this for 6 years every single day!! Made some awesome friends through it and there’s a sweet little community (or you can do your own thing too).
