As it stands, it’s worse than a machine translation. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I’d appreciate if you reach out via email (in app settings), I’d be happy to work with a native speaker to improve the translations. ### 4/5 — Beautifully designed *2026-06-09* Updated (6/9/26) Appreciate the updates. Keeps improving. Particularly like the new compact minimalist view. Few more requests: - Time elapsed since last entry. (Relative dates) - Photo attachments to journal entries would be a nice touch. - Still needs some kind of categorizing capability to filter/search in a long list or spotlight integration at least. Scrolling through a long list gets tedious when you have many things to track. - Reiterate the importance of an Apple Watch app to complete the experience. Previous: Just Needs filtering — Categories or tags (preferably) and an Apple Watch app. Other than that it’s quite appealing. **Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! I’m keeping track of all feature requests, including the things you’ve mentioned. Will get to everything eventually, Apple Watch support is one of the top priorities. ### 4/5 — I liked but… *2026-04-16, version 2.3.1* The app is absolutely good it’s excellent but when I make a task and I asigned a hour to remind me it dosnt send me a notification to remind me I already check everything I allow notifications I check the day the hours everything and it dosnt work for me I would like that it send my the notification because it’s abosulutely good this app maybe is a bug I would like a anwser ### 4/5 — Top für iOS umgesetzt *2026-03-16, version 2.2.0* Schöne App, tut was sie verspricht. Perfekte iOS Umsetzung. Leider kostet die Vollversion nun 23 Euro. Früher gab es sie für 10 Euro. Wollte sie erwerben, um den Entwickler zu unterstützen aber 23 Euro sind doch recht viel für eine einzelne App mit einer Funktion. ### 5/5 — The best app to build habits out there *2026-02-25, version 2.1.2* Great support! 😄 ### 5/5 — Appli géniale *2026-02-14, version 2.1.1* Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette application n’a pas plus d’avis. Elle est tout simplement géniale ! Le design est en adéquation avec celui d’Apple. Les statistiques d’évaluation d’une habitude sont nombreuses et très bien faites. Je recommande à 100%, tellement que j’ai acheté l’application après seulement quelques jours d’utilisation. ### 5/5 — Great and Getting There *2026-02-13, version 2.1.0* Fantastic UI. Love the adoption of Liquid Glass. Just keeping adding those features! 😊 ### 5/5 — Simply brilliant *2026-02-12, version 2.1.0* Incredibly convenient. The best part for me is how quick and natural it feels to simply tick things off. I've used it for a month and it’s been very reliable. The attention to detail is lovely: it’s elegant and simple. ### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Apps! *2026-02-11* Truly one of the most useful apps for me. I use it every single day. Reminds me of the good old days of Apps when they were useful first and foremost and not overloaded with bloat. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-01-27, version 2.0.2* The app is awesome ### 5/5 — Requests *2026-01-24, version 2.0.2* Hello! I would like to say a big thank you for the Ripples app—I really like it. I use it actively, it helps me track my habits and motivates me to keep going. Great job 🙌 I would like to offer a few ideas/improvements that I think could make the app even more convenient and intuitive: 1. Annual statistics It would be great to see not only a visual representation in the annual statistics, but also the total number of times the habit was performed during the year — that is, how many times the action was performed during that period. 2. Annual grid of 365 cells Currently, the app has a grid (112 cells), and it looks very clear. It would be great to also add an annual grid of 365 cells so that you can see the whole year at once — similar to the current view, but in an annual format. I would be very happy if you would consider these suggestions and perhaps add them in future updates. I really like the app and plan to purchase a subscription. Thank you for your work and for such a great app! ### 4/5 — Gut, aber *2026-01-13, version 2.0.2* Zuverlässig, aber Watch-App fehlt. Für die schnelle Erfassung quasi unentbehrlich! Bitte ganz nach oben auf die Prioitätenliste!!!! ( dann gibt’s auch ***** 😃) ### 5/5 — Require data migration functions *2026-01-11* This is the best app, but some functions are needed:Support data migration when changing devices through account-based synchronization or CSV import/export **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback! The app automatically syncs all data through iCloud, you don't need to do anything extra. There is also an option to export data into a CSV file as a backup, but currently no way to import it, I'll make sure to add this feature. ### 5/5 — Most beautiful tracker I’ve used *2026-01-10* I’ve spent the past 2 hours comparing which habit tracking app I want to invest into, and this one feels like something Apple would’ve created. Fluid UX, great animations, and lots of attention to details. **Developer response:** Thank you for such a nice review, glad you liked the design! ### 5/5 — Super app de checker ! *2025-12-31, version 2.0.2* Une app de qualité pour suivre ses habitudes ! Conquis par le design ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-03-11, version 2.2.0* This app became an essential part of my daily routine and it was great. I loved how easy it was to use, how reliable it was, and the lack of a subscription. Now UI bugs have made it unusable. ### 1/5 — Не працює *2026-02-19, version 2.1.2* На Створити дошку вибиває програму ### 1/5 — Great app but knock off the obnoxious popups *2026-02-08, version 2.0.2* Great app, but I always leave one star reviews for apps that harass me with "enjoying the app? Please leave a review" popups. It's gross. Change that behavior and I'll update this to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Lifetime purchase doesn’t work *2026-01-01, version 2.0.2* Restore purchases doesn’t work. Developer doesn’t respond. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Useless without paying 18€ *2025-10-25, version 2.0.2* Useless if you dont pay, can even put a single widget!! 18€ is way too much for a tracker lmao, pc games cost less than this. I will just use other alternatives by chinese developers ### 1/5 — How do you use this app? *2025-02-25, version 1.6.2* I can't find any directions on what to do. Also, today we are supposed to be able to get the lifetime version free through AppAdvice but there wasn't a way to go into the settings and choose the free lifetime version. ### 1/5 — Pro features are not coming even after purchasing *2024-11-07* I paid for the pro features but still features are not unlocked. Restore purchase is also not working **Developer response:** Hey, really sorry about this, there was a mistake with price adjustment when the app became paid in some countries. It is fixed now, please request a refund using this form https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223. Thank for your understanding. ### 3/5 — Great App, Needs Notification Fix *2026-04-06* I really enjoy using this app and rely on it every day. The overall experience is great. However, I’ve noticed that notifications don’t always work reliably — even when enabled, I sometimes miss reminders or board updates. Fixing this would make the app even better. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I worked on the notification scheduling robustness in the latest update, hope it addresses the issue you’ve mentioned. ### 3/5 — More features *2025-12-09* Please complete roadmap **Developer response:** Will do! ### 3/5 — Nice apps but powerpack too expensive for current features *2024-08-04, version 1.0* As the title says ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Habit Tracker *2026-06-22* I tried a lot of habit trackers. Others are way too expensive or overly animated and cute. This one strikes a great balance of easy function, polished interface, and a nice ripple animation. And the widgets are very well done. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Really addicting *2026-05-30* I’m a developer so I can definitely understand the GitHub feel of keeping the streak up. Super simple and easy to use! **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad to hear this from a fellow dev 🙌 ### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Apps! *2026-05-29* Truly one of the most useful apps for me. I use it every single day. Reminds me of the good old days of Apps when they were useful first and foremost and not overloaded with bloat. Edit - so happy to have compact boards now! One of the best apps keeps getting better and more useful! **Developer response:** Thank you! A more compact layout is on my list. ### 5/5 — Actually goated *2026-05-28* This is by far the best habit tracking app I’ve tried. Simple, clean, customizable, and you’re able to track easily from your Home Screen with the widgets. 11/10 **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Супер, но пока карандашом… *2026-04-24, version 2.3.1* Добавьте русский язык. Приложение отличное, в дальнейшем бы взял полную версию. Но обделили русских пользователей ### 5/5 — O melhor da Categoria *2026-04-23, version 2.3.1* Estou totalmente satisfeito com o App. Ele entrega exatamente o que eu procurava a anos e nunca encontrei. Com ele eu posso rastrear meus hábitos com registros precisos como, diário, data, e horário de cada checkin. ### 5/5 — Nicely done … hoping for some added Features *2026-04-01, version 2.3.0* Well done, simple to use habit tracker. Works flawlessly across devices, fair one time buy options. Had a small issue, developer provided very fast support solving the problem. Proposing an option to track weekly instead of daily events. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Solid Habit Tracker *2026-03-24* The app design is minimalistic and user friendly. There is no extra gamification, no ads, no BS. Just add your “ripple” for the day with 1 tap (2 taps at most!) and move on to the next thing. Love it. **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you appreciate the simplicity ❤️ ### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Apps! *2026-03-01* Truly one of the most useful apps for me. I use it every single day. Reminds me of the good old days of Apps when they were useful first and foremost and not overloaded with bloat. Please consider smaller Boards so more can been seen on screen without scrolling! **Developer response:** Thank you! A more compact layout is on my list. ### 5/5 — Best Habits App *2026-03-01, version 2.2.0* Tried them all and this is by far the best and easiest to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
