The chain names appear off-center because I changed the default text size on my phone. I hope the developers can make it so the app can adjust to the new text size. Otherwise, the app is useful. I like that I can put a note in there too. Also, I use the app to log days that bad things happen related to ongoing health issues in case ii meed to tell a doctor how often something happens. But the app is always like, “Good job! The first day is the hardest! Keep it up!” LOL ### 4/5 — Love the app but *2024-10-18, version 3.5.0* Would love to see a unified calendar view of all chains. I have 6 and it’s laborious viewing them. ### 4/5 — Good idea, doesn’t seem to be a way to keep “broken” chains *2024-01-25, version 3.4.1* i’m using this app to keep track of how often I avoid doing a bad habit I’m trying to break. However, unless it was a glitch, it seems to delete everything that came before if you break the chain. Maybe that’s the idea of behind the app, but I would like to be able to see even the broken chains because it shows me how many days I’ve avoided doing the unhealthy behaviors, even if they get broken. The badge being only the current chain is fine though. Maybe the current chain could be one color and the old broken chains a darker shade. ### 3/5 — Needs updated for Interactive Widgets *2023-10-25, version 3.4.1* It's a great app, but it needs updated for the new interactive widget function, you should be able to click the widget to complete the task, right now widgets just open the app. Only reason it's not a 5 star app. ### 4/5 — Works *2023-08-26, version 3.4.1* A simple and effective way to obtain your goals. Great app that easy to use and works very well ### 5/5 — Apple Watch compatibility *2022-12-09, version 3.4* please add an Apple Watch compatibility. ### 4/5 — Notes Per Day Idea *2022-12-04, version 3.4* Hi all - Paid subscriber. Would love to be able to add notes to a specific date/day that only align with that day and chain to keep track of my workouts. Version:DBTC Pro 3.4.0 (133) OS: iOS 16.1.1 Language: en ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2022-11-27, version 3.4* Amazing and simple! Tried others with many more frills but keep coming back to this app. Love the simplicity. No badges or gimmicks. I would like to add if possible in future updates the ability to cross a day more than once? Such as something you did twice that day. That would be an amazing addition. ### 5/5 — Really good app *2022-11-16, version 3.3* The app is really good and deliver exactly of it says it does. It would be nice to have the option to write some comments on each day also ### 5/5 — Absolutely Awesome App! *2022-04-07, version 3.2.1* I look forward to checking off the day! With complete! Small and simple things are great things to come to pass. Love it! Such a wonderful app! Only way to go is the PRO! No ads. You can color code your goals and makes each goal different when color coded. You should add emoji’s for progress or something like that. Great motivational tool! ### 5/5 — Life changing *2022-03-26, version 3.2.1* Life changing app ### 5/5 — Simple and aesthetic *2022-03-14, version 3.2.1* This is exactly the habit “chain-building” app I have been looking for. It’s simple to record when you complete a daily habit, and the aesthetic/UI is wonderful. Well worth paying a small amount to support the developers. Great job, thank you. ### 2/5 — Only one chain *2022-01-22, version 3.2.1* It shows multiple chains in the pictures but you have to pay to be able to have multiple. ### 5/5 — Simple is beautiful! *2021-12-29, version 3.2.1* There are a few “habit” apps based on the break the chain concept, but this one is by far the simplest and, for me, best. By stripping away random extras, it’s extremely close to Jerry’s initial concept, just a calendar with red crosses, which really helps you keep focused on doing a simple task (or multiple ones) consistently. There’s also a “Today Page” widget which shows your chains total length (and allows you to tick off a day) and you can make the app icon display your chain length as a badge number. Great app! ### 5/5 — A simple tracking technique to stick to a diet. *2021-11-19, version 3.2.1* This app has really helped me stick to a diet and visually easy to use and motivate to keep track. Just one day , then becomes a week , then a month. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-10-15, version 3.2* Simple, clean, and awesome ### 3/5 — Great but needs updated for new widgets *2021-10-07, version 3.2* It’s a wonderful app, works perfectly, but needs to be updated to support home screen widgets. Currently only supports the Notification Center widgets, you can’t put it on the Home Screen. I’ll bump up to 5 stars if that changes. ### 5/5 — Hi, I paid because… *2021-09-16, version 3.2* You asked for only one payment, not a Monthly one… thanks ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2021-09-04, version 3.2* I wanted a “don’t break the chain” calendar app so that I could remember to do a 1 minute plank everyday 🎉🎉🎉 this app is perfect for my needs. I can see the month at large and it is so satisfying to mark that X 🤩🤩🤩 I have it remind me 2 or 3 times a day so that I make sure to get it done ✅ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t ask me to review your app *2026-07-08, version 3.5.0* Don’t ask me to review your app ### 1/5 — Loved for my iPhone but does NOT synch with iPad *2020-02-21, version 3.1* I don’t think that it’s unreasonable to expect apps that are marketed as supported for both iPads and iPhones on IOS 10 or higher to actually synch between the devices. For a productivity app it would be the opposite of productive to have to re enter that data. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2019-09-20, version 3.0.1* Crashes on open. ### 1/5 — Free version is too limited *2019-01-07, version 2.6.0* Free version is too limited. Don’t waste your time installing it. Rather print out a calendar and you will have more features than what this app offers. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2018-06-05, version 2.6.0* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Posting without your permission. *2018-01-12, version 2.5.0* Be careful. This app is posting on twitter and connected other social media without your permission. Check before you click on anything! ### 1/5 — Compared to others, very limited *2017-09-30, version 2.5.0* The calendar is intuitive and well made but this only lets you track ONLY ONE before buying, which is unrealistic. There are plenty of other apps I moved on to because they have multiple, positive or negative and one even has emoji capacity! Better than a todo list-- if you only work on one action at a time... ### 1/5 — Bi fonksiyonu yok *2017-08-19, version 2.5.0* Zinciri oluşturmak icin sadece sizi çarpılarınız dışında birşey gerekmiyor.bu yüzden bu programın bi faydası işlevi yok.Üstelik yeni zincir icin 14 lira istiyor. Bu çok pahalı. ### 1/5 — DON'T PURCHASE GO PRO- WARNING!!- *2017-04-13, version 2.5.0* WARNING!! DO NOT UPGRADE- DON’T GO PRO- I DID 14 DAYS AGO, NEVER WILL UPGRADE. The communication with the developers was poor. they didn't solve the problem at all. Just suggested to download the free version again and I lost my current chain. I wrote them back, sending my bill from iTunes. They just ignored me. WARNING they collected the money but didn't upgrade my app at all. WARNING ### 1/5 — Need to update for iPhone 6 and 6+ *2016-01-07, version 2.4.1* No esta actualizada para iPhone 6 o 6+ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Have used for years *2025-07-26, version 3.5.0* I really like this app. It is a very simple way of tracking a habit. However, I have used it for so long that I wish there was a feature to show the streak in years AND in days. My streak is several years old and it’s not that helpful to see in days anymore. I would like to see the number of days, but also the number of years. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-03-14, version 3.5.0* Simple and helpful. I am very thankful for this app. It helped me to get back on track with my journaling. I would love to have a weekly period in addition to the existing Daily and Occasionally. It could either be on specific weekday or floating weekday. Possible? ### 5/5 — Zinciri kırma *2025-02-07, version 3.5.0* Çok güzel ### 5/5 — Good so far *2025-01-14, version 3.5.0* I’ve had this app for several years and I still use it. No bs, no subscriptions, just good and simple functionality. Developer deserves my respect ### 5/5 — Basically perfect *2025-01-09, version 3.5.0* Simple, uncomplicated, and extremely helpful. Been looking for something like this for a while. ### 5/5 — Great Way to track *2024-10-29, version 3.5.0* So easy to use ### 5/5 — Fantastic Habit App *2024-05-22, version 3.4.1* Really good to keep track. I would like a next page button or ability to swipe right to my next objective. Just to speed the things up a little. Otherwise brilliant! ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-01-19, version 3.4.1* this app honestly really is so amazing. I feel that it has helped me to hold myself accountable. It is $5.99 flat out but it’s worth the 6 bucks to me. I really like this app ### 5/5 — Perfecta. *2023-02-20, version 3.4.1* Si quieres un contador no necesitas más. ### 5/5 — Teşekkür *2023-01-12, version 3.4* Hayatımı disipline etmemde , istikrarlı kararlarımda en büyük yardımcı uygulamam 🍀 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
