Nonfunctional.
I purchased the app to help with my severe trichotillomania. Unfortunately, the app does not function in its current state. It does track how often you raise your hand, but it does NOT vibrate, even when silent is turned off and haptics are set to Prominent. The haptics DO work, however, when changing the sensitivity in-app. I know other reviewers complained about the sensitivity being too finicky, but even at max sensitivity it only logs my face/head touches about half the time (including just planting my palm directly on my face). What’s the point then? Seeing a little number at the end of a serious mindless pull session won’t help me stop.

Good, but vibrates all the time
This app is very helpful in reminding you gently with a vibration that you’re touching your face, however, the slightest motion sets it off so my watch is buzzing all day long. I’ve become used to the vibrating so I don’t notice it as much, especially when I need it the most to remind me to put my hand down. It gets the job done, maybe a little too well… May need some slight improvements to be a little more accurate, but I get it’s impossible to create an app that is right 100% of the time. In all, a good app that works. Try it out!

Buggy
This app has so much potential but is super buggy and just not easy to use for me personally.
Mostly OK
Updated review 9/28/21.
The app has disappeared from my watch. Support is nonexistent. DO NOT PURCHASE. I will update this review if support decides to fix this issue.
It’s a great idea. I was looking at a separate device that could do this and then I thought, hmm I bet my Apple Watch should be able to do the same thing. After a little research I found this app. The good news is that it mostly does as promised. I feel like 8 times out of 10 it will recognize that I’ve lifted my hand to touch my face. It doesn’t look like much. It kind of reminds me of the first app a college kid might have put together after finishing a programming course. You can turn it on or off and you can adjust the sensitivity, I think that’s it. You can’t schedule it to turn on and off at different times of day. There’s no app on the phone to adjust anything or to see if you’re getting better over time, you can’t do much to adjust the types of notifications it gives, etc. I don’t think there has been anything in the way of updates. With some polish and improvements it could be a 5 star app. Developers, keep working on this 👍

bought the app & didn’t show up on my apple watch
all the reviews are fake! i got scammed out of $4 and i need my money back.
I have been waiting for this!!!
This app is incredible. I had the $200 habit aware bracelet and this does the same thing for $4. Extremely helpful.
Doesn’t work that well
Doesn’t really work all that well considering it’s a $4 app. Probably works 40% of the time.
Very confusing
This was very confusing to get started because It's an Apple Watch only app and I kept looking for it on my iPhone. Oh well, anyway I'll change my review once I get a chance to see how it's working.
Extremely Helpful
I downloaded the Face Touch Aware app and it was very easy to install and set up on my Apple Watch. Since activating the app, it has done a fantastic job of alerting me via hepatic notification when my hands get too close to my face.
Honestly, I had no idea that I was touching my face so often, and I have been able to train myself to do it less frequently. Honestly, given the current public health environment, this app is brilliant in its simplicity and that it helps me protect my health.

Super useful!
This is a great way to build some new habits, crucial in the pandemic. Such a great way to stop touching your face. Excellent app, I definitely recommend it!
One of the best!
This app amazing, I learned a lot about situations when you touching your face automatically without knowing that, it's good to train yourself that can help a lot to stay healthy. Highly recommend
Brilliant
I had no idea I was touching my face this often. In just two days i dramatically changed my habits and am much safer thanks to this app. A must have!
Wow! Simple and effective strategy!!
Especially during a pandemic, it is important to avoid touching your face and potentially transferring a virus. This app is great for teaching people to be aware touching their face so they can break the habit.

A little more aware!
A nice little tool to be a little more aware when we touch our faces! Set up instructions are easy to follow too. (Also, whoa! Didn’t realize that I touched my face that much 😬.)
Much needed right now.
This is a perfect little app that helps you stop touching your face. Great timing for anyone trying to minimize their exposure to germs.
Very useful right now
This is awesome, and definitely needed now. I was worried it would be annoying, but the feature that has it beep no more than every 3 seconds makes a difference.
Good news in 2020... Finally!
Wonderful app, it's helped me become much more aware of when I touch my face. Let's stop the germs from making people sick! 💪
Brilliant idea during COVID19
This app has helped me be much more aware of when I touch my face so I can break the habit - highly recommend
Great idea!
It's really helping me become much more aware of when I touch my face. It has helped me break the habit when I'm walking around NYC, reducing my risk of catching a virus.
Great training app!
I've been trying to break the habit of unconsciously touching my face, and this app really helps make me aware I'm doing it.
My favorite feature is the fact that the app beeps when I touch my face, but no more than every 3 seconds, so it's not annoying
