There are currently still a few issues with some habits appearing on the list earlier than they’re supposed to and receiving notifications for habits that have already been completed or don’t need to be completed until a later date. A request I’d like to make is the option to archive habits instead of fully deleting them as there are some habits I no longer need but would like to keep a record of the data. ### 2/5 — Formerly great app, now buggy *2026-01-26, version 4.0.1* I have used this app for many years and I’d always felt it was the best habit app available. Unfortunately there are now bugs with the frequency of some habits and they will continue to show up as needing to be completed every day even when they have just been done and shouldn’t be showing up again for days or weeks. The app is now too broken to be useful for me and I am looking for a replacement. Please fix because I love the app when it works as intended! ### 4/5 — Accordion or chevron arrows? *2025-10-11, version 4.0.1* Maybe add a minimalist way to group tasks? Collapse expand arrows? It can get cluttered ### 4/5 — Syncing would be great *2024-10-23, version 4.0.1* I love this app but the fact it can’t import data or sync to icloud or Apple account is a big miss. I lost my data so many times that I don’t feel like using it again ### 2/5 — The syncing thing… *2024-08-12, version 4.0.1* I loved this app. Saved all kinds of stuff in it. But from time to time there’s a bug that wipes out all your stuff. There’s no syncing, so when that happens you’re out of luck. I deleted the app and went back to a paper calendar. Hope the app is or will be more reliable soon. I like a digital tracker, but it’s lost my trust. ### 3/5 — Needs an Update *2024-06-21, version 4.0.1* I am a long time user of this app but the most recent update has some annoying typos. Would appreciate it if these could be fixed. Even after several months the developers still haven’t released an update to fix the typos! ### 4/5 — Great! Some small improvements opportunities *2024-06-01, version 4.0.1* Been using this app for years and I love it! Only minor complaint is that I wish I could: - archive habit instead of having to delete them - skip a habit for X days to preempt a vacation or something. Also in the most recent version, my habits that are every X days is showing green when it should be gray and vice-versa. (e.g every 5-7 days, it shows green on day 4 and gray on day 6.) Overall it’s a stellar app and well worth the premium fee. Also really appreciate it’s not a subscription! Thanks for a great experience. 💜 ### 3/5 — I love this app but need updating *2024-04-20, version 4.0.1* I’ve been using this app for years and to be honest it’s the only one that I still think is simple and straightforward,but it’s really showing it’s age and needs needs an update. ### 2/5 — Please help me retrieve my data *2024-04-17, version 4.0.1* I have used this app for many years but now I can't open it anymore. Please help me retrieve my data ### 2/5 — app crashed *2024-04-13, version 4.0.1* the app crashed for some users in january and it still has not been fixed. it’s a great app when it’s working (i am a long time user), but this is too long with no resolution. ### 4/5 — What happened? *2024-04-05, version 4.0.1* I’ve used/loved this app for years without incident, but for the last month or so, the top half of the screen is not responding. The “today” button, the “add” button, and the “back” arrow are unresponsive. Please HELP! ### 3/5 — Great app! Started crashing on launch, no replies to emails *2024-03-01, version 4.0.1* Amazing app, worked well for years! But it started to crash on launch a couple months back. Sent a few emails but didn’t get a reply. Had to delete and reinstall. Was able to pull the app’s database from a phone backup. Reinstalled and it’s working again now! It’d be great to be able to import the old data! Anyway thanks for this app it’s been a game changer ### 4/5 — I love this app — new update glitches? *2024-02-01, version 4.0.1* Is it just me or did this stop working properly? It doesn’t add the total of habits correctly or at all. I hope this gets fixed soon! ### 2/5 — Latest version *2024-01-29, version 4.0.1* Have been using it for 12 months and suddenly the app stopped working after the latest version was downloaded. Tried contacting admin but no response. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no more habit list (April 20, 2024) *2024-10-18, version 4.0.1* I have happily used Habit List for many years. It was a great app with a positive effect on my life. Three months ago it stopped working (I am on the most recent iOS). I was given access to a beta of the previous version, which pretty much worked for three months and then expired. Since then I have emailed and tweeted for an update with no response, so now I have no app and no data. update (October 18, 2024) Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Habit List works! I exported my data and will (warily) use the app again. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work any more, crashes on opening *2024-06-04, version 4.0.1* I’ve had this app 4 years, it used to be really good. This week I updated my iOS and the app got buggy with list items disappearing randomly after highlighting them, so I updated the app… now the app doesn’t work at all, it just crashes instantly on opening. Absolute rubbish now! Please fix this as I’ll need to swap to someone else’s app ### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 17.4.1 *2024-05-14, version 4.0.1* App crashes on launch since latest iOS update. No fix has been released yet. ### 1/5 — WARNING - CRASHES BEFORE IT OPENS *2024-05-13, version 4.0.1* After inputting all my habits and using the app for a few months the app starts crashing on opening. I lost all my data and habit lists. I emailed the developer 3 times with no response. ### 1/5 — Worked great until April 2024 *2024-04-28, version 4.0.1* I use this for five years and it was great. it was cool to see so many years worth of my habit compliance rates. With the April 2024 software update it started crashing for me as soon as I open it. I emailed support but did not receive a reply. I would definitely use this app again if they can stop it from crashing. ### 1/5 — Changed my life - then stopped working *2024-04-07, version 4.0.1* I've used the Habit List app for almost ten years (!), and it's been truly lifechanging for me. I love the thoughtful simplicity of this app and have recommended it to countless people. Alas, at some point in January, the app stopped loading on my phone. When I hit the icon, it starts to open, but then nothing happens. It’s been amazing to see how quickly my longstanding habits of nearly a decade have fallen apart without this simple accountability structure. I tried reaching out to customer support via email (twice) but never heard back. I’m devastated that this powerful tool I depended on so much has let me down. ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately *2024-01-27, version 4.0.1* Crashes immediately when trying to open now. Good job, devs! 🙄 Edit: Why in world should I have to email you and give you my address? Why don’t you just tell us all how to fix it right here? Better yet, why don’t YOU fix your garbage app? You make one update in like 5 years and totally break it. Amazing 😂 ### 1/5 — iOS17.2.1 update *2024-01-26, version 4.0.1* Cannot launch after iOS17.2.1 update. Had to delete the app and redownload… this cause losing all my data. Extremely unhappy. ### 1/5 — App stopped working after latest update *2024-01-24, version 4.0.1* I updated my app on iPad yesterday, and now it won’t open. When I tap the icon the window starts to open, and immediately closes. I’ve tried restarting the iPad without success ### 1/5 — Broken with iOS 17.2.1 *2024-01-14, version 4.0.1* Not sure what changed but since updating to the latest iOS, it always crashes on launch ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — D *2026-03-08, version 4.1.2* Great app ### 5/5 — Hold yourself accountable *2026-02-20, version 4.1.0* I have been using it for years. I love it for its simplicity. ### 5/5 — Favourite habit app *2026-02-19, version 4.1.0* The most flexible app for habit tracking. Clean design, functional and easy to use. Much respect for the one time payment model, worth purchasing. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-01-29, version 4.0.1* Love the versatility of this app. It has helped me to make and break habits, and bring more order and peace into my life. I can set reminders, mark items as missed or skip, very intuitive and also aesthetically pleasing. ### 5/5 — Better than ever *2025-11-30, version 4.0.1* I've been using this app for 3 years. The updated version is an improvement to an already simple and easy to use interface. Highly recommend if you want something with a minimal learning curve with basic features. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2025-05-07, version 4.0.1* Easy to set up and use. Well designed. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2024-08-02, version 4.0.1* No issues. I have premium and use and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Love the simplicity. ### 5/5 — Needs update *2024-05-27, version 4.0.1* No longer works. Keeps crashing ### 5/5 — My favourite app *2024-03-13, version 4.0.1* I have been using it for years. I love it for its simplicity. ### 5/5 — I keep coming back to this app *2024-01-19, version 4.0.1* The beauty of this app is in it’s simplicity. I too have used this app for many years and I don’t think I’ve ever written a review. I tried something else ( flashier widget) for a while, but it ended up being too complicated. A simple checklist where you swipe it and have a choice of completing it, skipping or excusing yourself for some reason from your habit is just great and it gives you great feedback on how you’re doing over time. It’d be nice to have a widget and a watch app and syncing to your iPad and all the rest of that stuff and I would pay for it if it was offered but I’m very happy with this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
