I downloaded it because I think the free version is super useful. I suggest allowing to change the calendar (different order of the days as in Spain the week normally starts on Monday). The app glitches a little, the widget doesn’t synchronize perfectly with the app. If the latter is solved it will definitely be a great upgrade. ### 4/5 — can’t add widget *2024-05-05* wonderful app, and i paid for premium, but i can’t figure out how to add the widget to my homescreen. the option isn’t available. ### 5/5 — Apple Watch *2024-04-12* La meilleure app du genre sur l’App Store ! Il lui manque juste une petite app Apple Watch pour être parfaite ☺️ ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-03-04, version 1.5* Had to rewrite the review. Previously gave it 3 stars for a couple of bugs, solved now. Love the app, the simplicity and great design. ### 5/5 — El que buscava! *2024-02-25, version 1.4.4* Simplement una app minimalista sense publicitat on deixar constància dels meus hàbits. Desitjant millores com l’exportació del registre entre d’altres! 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — Stopped working on iPhone *2024-02-15, version 1.4.3* I got notifications but when I start app it shuts down immediately. Pls fix it ### 3/5 — Amazing app, still a lot of things to improve. *2024-02-12, version 1.4.3* In the previous small widget you can control more habits at a glance. Now only 3? What's the point? Yeah you've improved the button tap area at the cost of not being able to control all habits... 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was considering subscribing, but it still lacks a lot of features, at least for me: - possible desktop mac version to sync across? - icloud sync over devices? - a way to collect habit data integrating Journal API, to track achievements of the day into the journal? - UI is simple enough to redistribute habit name and elements in the card, to fit 7 days per screen (showing a whole week), making it better for a wholesome view of the habits per week. - Following previous point, the possibility of seeing a whole week Monday to Sunday without the days moving to the left makes for a better comprehension of the achievements. ### 5/5 — What a nice idea, congrats *2024-01-20, version 1.4.1* Such a simple and good experience, I’ve been enjoying so much. It would be nice to have some small analytics for every task, like how many days have you done it in a certain period (not streak). ### 5/5 — Fantastic UI *2024-01-18* Love the design of this app, it's low friction and prioritises making your progress visible. Other apps over complicate things. ### 5/5 — Simple, effective, rewarding *2024-01-05* It’s really nice having the Patterns widget on your homescreen, as a subtle reminder of the habits you’d like to maintain. And it feels great to interact w the widget once you’ve completed them. It also looks nice, which is a huge plus. Kudos to the developer! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade to 2.0 *2025-09-17* All habits are gone after updating. ### 1/5 — Update App!!! *2024-11-04* Hey since the recent IOS update the widget is broken for coloured Homescreens!!! Pls Fix ### 1/5 — Great but *2024-01-04* Interactive widget is buggy and inconsistent. I hesitate to write this review because I love the app. But if the interactive widget continues to be… multiple times per day… non-responsive, slow to update, etc… it’s difficult to see myself continuing to use this app. **Developer response:** I'm sorry you faced this widget issue. Please try to re-install the app. This usually helps for most of the users. The data is synced to your iCloud so it'll back right away. Either way, I'm going to look at the widget to figure out what cause these bugs. Thank you for using the app. I hope it helps you to build some habits. ### 2/5 — Export function would be nice *2025-10-02* If you use this app your data is stuck inside it forever. There’s no way to export your history right now. Any format would be fine. ### 2/5 — Need to pay to use reminders *2024-03-26* You need to buy a subscription just to add reminders. Only 5 habits are free which may or may not be inconvenient depending on your goals ### 2/5 — Super mais.. *2024-03-13* Application super simple et pratique mais depuis la dernière mis à jour j’ai perdu toute mes progressions c’est assez frustrant… ### 3/5 — Great Design, Critical Bug *2025-12-27* I love the simplicity of this app—it does not try to do a lot, but what it does, it does beautifully. A huge problem, however, is a lack of proper time-zone support. I travel frequently and my data is constantly shifting between days as I travel. It is frustrating that I can only have the correct data displayed when I am in my home timezone. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-10-25, version 1.8* You have to pay for reminders, which kinda defeats the purpose in a way. Other than that it’s not bad. I would also like to get more habits without payment. It’s pretty expensive for a habit app. ### 3/5 — Great, clean and aesthetic app *2024-05-10, version 1.8* Widget function doesn’t work which was a real selling point. ### 3/5 — Good work *2024-03-07* Still needs lots of features and improvements. As a lifetime subscriber, I don’t think it’s still worth the money. But the looks are really great. If more features are added, it’s an amazing app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lacks settings *2025-12-23* How do I make the week start from Monday? ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2025-09-23, version 2.0* Thanks to this app I’ve been able to set so many longlasting habits and stick to them. It’s perfect minimalistic design makes it very simple to use. Although it pains me that the the little streak icon with the fire showing you the days counter was removed. That singlehandedly made me so consistent, seeing that little fire lit up. ### 5/5 — Best habit tracker *2025-05-12, version 1.9* The cleanest simplest UX, free version is totally usable. Interactive widget, extremely simple to use, perfect for the job! ### 5/5 — Simplicity always wins *2025-01-11, version 1.9* There’s no shortage of habit trackers on the market, but Patterns wins by design. I’ve used several apps successfully and they always end up bloated, unfriendly, or not upfront about their limits before a paid plan (I have no objection to paying, but if the rules aren’t clear then I don’t think it’s fair on users). Patterns is the antidote. Ideally you want these apps to just do what they do and do them well, and yes it does. I’ve made one feature request, that you get to see what your longest streak was. When that ships it’ll be perfect - also worth noting after I made this request I got a reply from the developer so the a realistic estimate of that feature. It’s always great to have good communication between user and dev! ### 5/5 — Love this *2024-12-03* This is a great habit tracker with a useful widget ### 5/5 — The best habit tracker for IOS *2024-10-06, version 1.8* Simple, easy, intuitive. Exactly what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — Great Potential! *2024-09-14, version 1.8* Been trying out a few finance and money tracking apps in the past few months and this one really feels like it is onto something in terms of the overall design aesthetic and its UX design. There is a lot of potential here so I am excited to see how it will hopefully grow. ### 5/5 — Great Widets *2024-07-02* Downloaded about 20 different habit apps looking for a widget that would display the history of multiple habits AND let me track progress from the one widget, and this app was basically the only one that would do that. And for free too! ### 5/5 — The only habit tracker I’ve managed to stick with *2024-06-01, version 1.8* Although it’s simple and still lacks some features, it’s the only habit tracker app I’ve managed to stick with. The widget is the best I’ve seen in any habit app, very user-friendly, nice, clean and super easy to use. ### 5/5 — AWESOME MAN *2024-05-11, version 1.8* ok buddy, i actually never did a review im my life, but this app changed this at all. i was looking for a app with widget and for free, i was getting upset then fund your app, im not able to pay 30 dollars for an anual payment, and u saved me. pls dont start to charge for this app, or if u want do like habit tracker, that is 4 dollars, but anyway, love u and thkz for your work 🤝 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
