### 3/5 — Not too bad

*2026-07-26, version 5.8.0*

The app isn’t that bad, although it would be better if you didn’t have to pay, if you want I recommend paying the year and just going with that.

### 2/5 — Freezes up

*2026-07-23, version 5.6.3*

Freezes up so much I can’t even use the app.

### 5/5 — Excelente para organização

*2026-06-10*

Atingir as metas que estabelecemos se torna um vício.

### 5/5 — nice

*2026-06-05, version 5.6.3*

nice

### 5/5 — Красивое и вкусное

*2026-06-03*

Я перепробовала много трекеров привычек, но Grit зацепил меня сильнее всего, так что в благодарность разработчику я купила lifetime версию.

Приложение очень красивое, им приятно пользоваться, оно не перегружено лишними деталями, мне хочется заходить сюда снова и снова и отмечать свои привычки. На мой взгляд, такие ощущения - это самое важное в трекере привычек, потому что именно они не позволяют забросить приложение через неделю, как это получилось у меня с Habitica - красивым, интересным, но переусложненным трекером, который со временем превратился для меня в работу. Я не хочу сказать, что Habitica плохая, но для такого рассеянного человека с СДВГ как я, разноцветный и вкусненький Grit оказался полезнее и приятнее.

Минусы/пожелания:
1. Хотелось бы увидеть более минималистичный heatmap виджет - без лишних подписей и месяцев. Только название привычки и растянутый на весь виджет heatmap с разноцветными квадратиками, как это сделано в Ripples и Habitkit.
2. В разделе "Статистика" много лишнего и мало полезного. Для мотивации и отслеживания успехов достаточно одного календарика с heatmap и процентом успеха, остальная часть статистики должна быть направлена на понимание того, почему я не выполнила свои привычки. Можно сделать это через трекер настроения (в виде смайликов, на которые можно нажимать каждый день), уровня энергии (в виде батарейки) или кнопки "Почему не получилось" с вариантами ответа, которые бы учитывались в статистике.

### 5/5 — Streaks

*2026-06-01, version 5.6.3*

My favorite feature is the streaks (fire symbol). It helps me visually track progress and stay accountable

### 5/5 — The Absolute Finest in Habit Tracking

*2026-05-29, version 5.6.3*

I’ve used several systems to track habits over the years, and this is hands down the smoothest, cleanest and best one I’ve found. Will gladly pay the reasonable annual fee to keep this going. Love it. Keep it up the good work Grit Team.

### 5/5 — Grit

*2026-05-29, version 5.6.3*

Super

### 5/5 — I love this app 5.6.3 update tho?

*2026-05-29, version 5.6.3*

This app has helped me so much and I think this is the best app simple no adds and with premium it’s amazing. I already have it but this update you just did is a bit laggy I wanted to make a comment about the update.. the change in features are good in 5.6.3 hut after I downloaded it lag instantly when you open the app. There is something wrong with the background but keep it up keep adding support, I have adhd and this does help me a lot thank you.

### 5/5 — Best habit tracking app out there

*2026-05-28, version 5.6.2*

I use Grit daily to train myself at my habit chains. It’s to the point now where I can run through my morning routine without even looking at the app most mornings but it’s still great to have it for those off days, too.  The user interface is both user friendly and packed with features you’ll actually use.

### 5/5 — Me gusta

*2026-05-19, version 5.6.2*

Me encanta

### 5/5 — Excellent for Self-Development and Accountability

*2026-05-16, version 5.6.2*

This app has been instrumental in helping me track both positive and negative habits in a structured and meaningful way. I use it daily to reflect on my routines, behaviours, and progress towards my personal and professional goals.

What I appreciate most is how simple yet effective the layout is. It allows me to clearly identify patterns, stay accountable, and recognise areas that need improvement. Over time, it has helped me become more intentional with my habits and more aware of how small daily actions contribute to long-term growth.

I would highly recommend this app to anyone focused on self-development, discipline, productivity, or building healthier routines.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-14, version 5.6.2*

Very good recommended

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-13, version 5.8.1*

The app was not working as described and did not save my habits. Rather than assist in correcting the problem when contacted, the developer preferred to argue about what I could see on my end. The response was so poor I immediately cancelled the free trial and had zero interest in continuing.

### 1/5 — Lifetime Purchase Not Recognized

*2026-07-27, version 5.8.0*

I purchased the lifetime plan, and it worked perfectly for a couple of months. Now the app is asking me to purchase it again, even though I’m using the same phone, the same Apple ID, and the same App Store account that I originally used to buy it.

I no longer have access to any of the premium features I already paid for. I’ve tried restoring my purchase, but it still doesn’t recognize my lifetime subscription.

### 1/5 — Active

*2026-07-11, version 5.6.3*

Lets start then

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2026-07-08, version 5.6.3*

I would actually give it a 3 but just so you can see I’m showing it as a 5. You need to get the premium to edit habits (even the ones they start you out with) and it feels like there’s pressure to complete everything. The next day, if you didn’t completed something the day before it adds a minus to your habit and it’s like you have to earn it back. It also needs more work and updates on it since while I was changing my walking time I accidentally moved it up an extra hour and it gave me the reward for that even when I moved it bac.

### 1/5 — Free version

*2026-06-19*

Useless if u need it to be free, gives u four tasks daily that u don’t have control on

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The free version should still let you choose what you track, up to its limit. Premium unlocks more than 3 habits, statistics, and continued app development. If something feels wrong with your tasks, please contact us at support@gritapp.net.

### 1/5 — Jamais d’applications avec abonnement

*2026-05-25*

Hors de question de valider ce système

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THE FREE TRIAL

*2026-05-17, version 5.6.2*

They renew it before the week is up and buy the most expensive version of it so you’re stuck with it a whole year! Woke up the morning I subscribed to it to turn it off because it’s not a very good app and they renewed me for a whole year!

### 1/5 — Сплошная реклама

*2026-04-30*

Много рекламы, почти всё закрыто без оплаты

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв. Нам жаль, что у вас сложилось такое впечатление. В Grit можно бесплатно вести до 3 привычек, а Premium с 7-дневной пробной версией открывает больше привычек, статистику и помогает поддерживать дальнейшую разработку. Если что-то работало не так или мешало пользоваться приложением, напишите нам на 
support@gritapp.net.

### 1/5 — Don’t ask for reviews on first launch

*2026-02-19, version 5.4.0*

That’s insane. I’m in the middle of the onboarding questions and the app interrupts me to ask me to rate and review this newly installed app. Not great so far, guys. Why don’t you wait a week at least?

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-02-17, version 5.4.0*

I don’t normally write reviews, but this is a reminder to check them before downloading an app. You only get to add 3 habits which is absurd. You can literally do all of this with pen and paper for free. These people are just money hungry and don’t actually care about helping others.

### 5/5 — Just starting out

*2026-08-28, version 5.8.1*

I’m excited for the Journey ahead.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-08-25, version 5.8.1*

I’ve tried every app out there for tracking habits. I’ve had my entire habits lists deleted or glitched out. Now I’ve had grit glitch but nothing that a simply close and reopen app can’t fix. In addition having the app backed up correctly to the cloud puts my mind at ease for my habits not being lost. In addition to all the updates you get! Love this app and it’s well thought out updates.

### 5/5 — Very practical and encouraging

*2026-08-16, version 5.8.1*

They continue to add features that benefits you

### 5/5 — Love this !!

I love the aesthetics of this app! Very user friendly. 
Best ‘to-do’ app that I’ve tried. I would recommend trying it!
