### 5/5 — Simple, clean, and awesome

*2026-02-27*

This is honestly my favorite habit tracking app. I've been using it for years, and it's the only one that I've stuck with, because of its awesome interface and clean simplicity.

### 4/5 — Good but complicated

*2025-08-22*

So it is good when i use it and remember to, but it’s complicated and I’m only like 12 but still some parts it don’t make much sense like carried over from yesterday like whats up with that anyway it’s good when it’s the only  option. SO 4 STARS!

### 4/5 — Good with some glitches

*2025-03-24*

Overall a great app but there are some recent glitches that show the previous day as missed when it hasn’t been and doesn’t update the streak (recent problem)

### 5/5 — Great app for reasonable price!

*2022-01-30*

This app is great! I love all of the features and the statistics it shows you if you buy it for the one time reasonable price of $3.99. If you don’t want the extra bells and whistles you easily can use it to stay on track of multiple goals. Thank you. :)

### 3/5 — Have been using this app for years

*2022-01-18*

and now it is suddenly incredibly slow. Trying to check a box will sometimes take me to the habit page, rather than just checking the box, but it takes forever to refresh and the new view to load. Is frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-02-04, version 2.3*

Really well designed app - simple, visually attractive and easy to use. I love that it allows me to schedule a “rest day” without breaking the chain. Nice work!

### 3/5 — Good idea but buggy

*2020-12-30, version 2.2.2*

Looking for an app to try and get some good habits going. Nice layout but doesn’t keep the entry record of why you failed that day. Bought paid version but still same issue. Nice app if this feature not important.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2020-11-12, version 2.2.2*

So nice to have a simple, easy to use app. Glad bug fixes and updates are happening now

### 1/5 — It was good before the update

*2020-10-31, version 2.2*

I’ve been using this app for years but after the update today (Oct 30), each time you put a check, it kicks me out of the app. I have to put 5 checks and it kicked me out of the app 5 times. So annoying. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken!

### 5/5 — Excellent and simple app to track your habits!

*2020-04-25*

I use this app daily and it’s nice to be able to set different categories for habits you want to track. 

One feature I’d love to see is a dark-mode UI! Also, the ability to track frequency versus just a streak (for example 5/7 weekly goal regardless of what day it’s completed on)
