We had to look for another app, which is disappointing because this app checked all of our other boxes ### 3/5 — Love it. *2024-02-12, version 8.1* Simple, functional and has helped me build great habits. I like that I can customize, my friends and I are doing The Artist Way and it's working great. $25 a year feels like a more appropriate price to me as I can't imagine its a requires a team to manage the backend. I think could convince more people to use it for that price. I wish the weekly and daily goals had different pages... It would he so satisfying to look at the complete daily page at the end of each day. ### 4/5 — Promising *2023-12-13, version 8.1* Attn developer: the links which lead to sending an email to request features and report bugs are both bouncing. Please advise as there are a number of easy fixes + suggestions I’d like to send. ### 3/5 — Almost great *2023-09-02, version 8.0* The concept and implementation of the app is great, but the limitation of 3 habits is awfully low, even for a free plan. This limitation stops me from recommending this app to my other friends since they would have to pay to join all my habits. The paid plan should be for the pro features like the insights and analytics. ### 4/5 — Good, could be great with updates *2023-01-31, version 7.7* PLEASE, This is the kind of app that would be very useful to access via widgets. Otherwise an amazing app but please do us a favor and roll out the widgets! Update: a little glitchy. Some issues that need fixing: - group chat pictures hardly come through. I have to reload the app to see the pics. Chat in general is glitchy. This is a core function of the app so fixing it should be prioritized. - should have a ‘like’ function for chat messages - should be able to toggle between personal habits and group habits from Home Screen. - there should be a feature that mutes the color of the habitat if you have completed it for the day, letting you know that you have completed it. Sometimes I forget which habitats I’ve already swiped right on and end up completing them twice in a day. - you should be able to invite the same person to multiple habitats at once. It’s exhausting inviting a new person into the group and having to add them to each habitat one by one. ### 4/5 — Love the Concept *2022-03-18, version 7.7* Habitat is great for group accountability. I had some glitches, which were quickly fixed with an email to the creator of Habitat. Just getting started, and I am loving the app so far. ### 3/5 — Inconsistent *2022-03-17, version 7.7* It’s a good app/concept, but the app doesn’t automatically refresh. I shouldn’t have to pull down to see the results of others in the habit. Also, the leaderboard isn’t correct, those who are close to last place are in the top 3. I’ll keep using the app for now, but wouldn’t consider paying for premium any time soon. Update: The developer reached out and acknowledged the issues. Hoping they are fixed in a future release. Adding an additional star for communication ### 3/5 — Contact developer *2022-02-20, version 7.6* From inside the app; Request Features, Report a Bug, Give Feedback, Send Feedback; all seem to not work. ### 4/5 — Good idea but a bit glitchy *2022-02-19, version 7.6* I’m using this to run an accountability group for health and exercise. I’ve noticed that the chat feature is glitchy. When I send a message, it takes the text from the previous person’s message and places it in my bubble. I have to exit the habit and go back into the chat to see the message I’ve sent/confirm it got sent. Also, one of the group members got a notification that said they’d only completed a habit twice this week when they’d completed it four times. So there seems to be something off there as well. I still like the app and it works well for what we need but fixing these glitches would be super helpful. Also, adding a feature to be able to heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, etc. a particular message in the chat (the way you can in iMessage) would be awesome. ### 2/5 — More please!! *2021-02-08, version 7.6* I really want to be able to make more habits for free. We only get 3 and it’s unfair because I made account and I can’t even delete it. Me and my friend were gonna do something, but we can’t. ### 3/5 — GREAT APP! Except for onekey functionality *2020-12-08* This is a great idea and awesome app! Except for one key functionality: Marking your habit as completed today is currently a hidden and inconvenient UX, instead it should be the forefront of the app. the app should have when you enter the app a big button to click / swipe complete a habit, one per habit. I'm not sure why is there just a +/- dial near the number of habits per day, this is not convenient or fun or motivating, and you could too easily change the number ("cheat" also for the past **Developer response:** Hi! We're glad you're enjoying the app. Fortunately, you can in fact swipe right to complete, and swipe left to undo on a habit. These instructions are also at the top of the "Habitats" page. Please reach out to avi@habitatapp.co if you have any further questions or feedback! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-08-18, version 6.7* Works great, functions as you’d expect, better than other apps of the same category, subscribed for improved functionality. Keep up the great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay wall of course *2024-06-26, version 8.1* You can only make 4 habits until you get hit with a pay wall. ### 1/5 — App won’t open on my phone *2022-02-14, version 7.6* I hear this app is great. My business partners are all using it for accountability however it will not work on my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and get booted every time I try and access my profile. Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do on my end to get this working? ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-08-21, version 7.6* Doesn’t let you accept any friends unless you pay for the premium. Disappointed to say the least ### 1/5 — Requires phone number *2021-01-01, version 7.3* I don't understand why this app mandates a phone number to activate. Ridiculous. More spam calls coming my way I guess. ### 1/5 — Data Mining *2020-08-05, version 6.6* Paying 2.99 a month to data mine my phone? No thank you. ### 1/5 — Sudden subscription *2020-04-28, version 3.0* People who supported you downloading the app has now to pay monthly subscription? Thanks but no thanks. ### 2/5 — Needs more features *2024-11-03, version 8.1* It’s good for basic use. But lacking some features such as ability to set the Reset day from Sat (an odd day) to Sun/Mon like what most would expect. Needs to explain better how to onboard other people into the app and whether they need to pay separate subscription. Need to allow one person to pay for multiple people’s subscription. ### 2/5 — Deleted *2022-03-09, version 7.6* I deleted right away. I don’t understand why apps like these require a phone number. No thanks. ### 2/5 — Not great *2022-02-07, version 7.6* Seems to be missing basic features like time zone adjustments. Not everyone is based on the east coast like I assume the developers must be. Invites are funky and seem to rarely work the first time. Not much else out there like this and could be good with some basic functionality fixes. ### 2/5 — Notifications *2021-05-05, version 7.6* Me and 2 other friends downloaded this. No luck in turning on notifications. Kind of defeats the purpose of keeping each other accountable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, add to google playstore too! *2025-11-30, version 8.1* Great simple app, please put on the google playstore so my friends with android phones can share goals with me too!! There’s no other app in the playstore like this - I think it would be good for yall!! ### 5/5 — Amazing App 1 Suggestion *2024-03-09, version 8.1* My friends & I absolutely LOVE this app to hold one another accountable for our workouts. The only thing I wish we had was a calendar log so we can look back and see which days we were on a roll, which days we skipped, etc! ### 5/5 — Best Accountability App *2022-02-24, version 7.6* Have been using this app this past year to build up my habits and it’s been absolutely amazing! Love the group chat feature, and I can’t see me building my habits and achieving my goals any other way. Excited for what’s to come for this app! ### 5/5 — Great idea *2022-02-06, version 7.6* Cool app that motivates me to accomplish things with friends pressure. Feature idea, maybe add a prize or something for people that complete the challenges. Prize will be collected from the other members of the goal ### 5/5 — Great App and responsive developer *2021-09-09, version 7.6* Well thought out app. A lot of similar apps fall short of what this does. ### 5/5 — Best accountability app + best customer service *2021-01-16, version 7.6* I downloaded this app today after realizing that I’ve been stuck in some ruts. A few of my friends joined with me and we’ve enjoyed cheering each other on with our new goals. The app is well designed and easy to use. I reached out regarding opening up the family share option because it felt redundant for my wife and I to purchase the same subscription just to gain access to the same benefits. I received a response almost immediately and they obliged. I’m so thankful for that, and will continue to use this app. It’s definitely going to be helpful to me and my little family reaching our goals! Do yourself a favor and get this app, even if without the premium subscription it’s great. ### 5/5 — i love this app *2021-01-10, version 7.4* i had never tried habit tracking until my friend showed me this app and i’ve loved using it over the past 4 months to see the consistency in building healthy habits ! its kept me accountable to my weekly workout goals and i am excited to use it for my 2021 goals ### 5/5 — Best way to build habits with friends *2021-01-05, version 7.3* I’ve been looking for a way to exercise with my friends and keep each other accountable and Habitat is exactly the app for it! I love messaging my friends in the group chat and motivating each other ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-31, version 6.7* FINALLY! I have been waiting a long time for an app like this and Habitat does not disappoint. I love being able to connect with my friends who live far away to work out or meditate together. It’s great that we can motivate each other from afar and keep each other accountable to improve our collective health and happiness, especially this year. Bravo- can’t wait to see what the future holds for this app. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-10-25, version 6.7* Love the app! Easy to use. Should be a way to swipe for previous day. Had a party, busy hosting and cleaning up. Had overnight guests. Streak ruined because I forgot to swipe before bed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
