O sistema de pontuação pode proporcionar uma evolução muito lenta, principalmente porque tarefas simples e frequentes possuem recompensas pequenas. Além disso, a grande quantidade de elementos e funcionalidades pode fazer com que novos usuários se sintam perdidos. Dessa forma, o aplicativo poderia melhorar sua experiência tornando o sistema de progressão mais recompensador e oferecendo uma navegação mais direcionada, especialmente durante os primeiros usos. ### 4/5 — Muito bom mas estagna *2026-08-17* A proposta do aplicativo de gamificar a rotina é excelente e realmente ajuda a criar disciplina. Estou usando há 3 semanas e, no início, o sistema de RPG dá um baita empurrão na produtividade. O problema é que, depois de um tempo, a motivação para melhorar o personagem acaba caindo. A progressão fica meio estagnada e sinto que falta um incentivo maior a longo prazo para continuar upando e equipando o avatar. Dou 4 estrelas porque a ideia base é muito boa, mas o 'endgame' do app acaba deixando um pouco a desejar. ### 4/5 — Good but bad *2026-08-07, version 4.0.4* I expected the games to be better, but it is really good except that, also needs better graphics… ### 4/5 — Great *2026-08-01, version 4.0.3* Great but wish you could add your calendar so schedule events according to level of difficulty ### 5/5 — Great gamification app for habits *2026-07-20, version 4.0.3* I’ve been using this app on-and-off for years. It got me through dissertation, my licensure exams, and some other non-preferred tasks. It also helps me with motivation and reminders for daily life activities (like remembering chores or self-care habits) and one-off tasks (like remembering to send an email or replace that light bulb that I always seem to forget). The best part is that it doesn’t hide functionality behind a paywall: although you can subscribe for some aesthetic options, it basically retains all its functionality without having to pay. 10/10, 5 stars, two thumbs up, highly recommend, etc… ### 5/5 — Best task manager ever! *2026-07-20, version 4.0.3* Really good app helps a lot for motivation. ### 5/5 — PERFECT FOR ADHD *2026-07-16, version 4.0.3* This app gamifies life and brings novelty to otherwise boring day-to-day tasks, which is great for my ADHD brain. I’ve gotten some friends to join me, and we’ve all been having fun working through all quests lines together. I’ve been using the app for less than 100 days so far, and my party has already reached the final boss. I just hope the app continues to add more content and harder bosses down the line, cause this app has been a life changer for me and I hope to continue playing as long as this app is live. ### 4/5 — Good but *2026-07-16, version 4.0.3* I crashed out from the penalties when having a tough time and ended up uninstalling it for almost 3 years but i’m back because it’s the only task manager that’s actually worked on me. Just wish certain things werent blocked by paywall ### 4/5 — I enjoy using this app! *2026-07-15, version 4.0.3* This is a great app if you want to keep good habits and routines, and get rid of some bad habits. They recently added a quest scroll (A “Pets and Mounts” quest scroll) in the new update for summer and it was a way to get guinea pigs as pets (But only in the game). And I have 2 pet guinea pigs (don’t call me weird plz) so I loved that addition! Sometimes I forget to check in and tick off my Dailies, but it always gives you the chance to tick them off the next day…! ### 5/5 — Great app, recommended *2026-07-15, version 4.0.3* Very neat app. Some people dislike it, I have no clue why. Has helped me drastically, especially with ADHD and a love for RPG. My motorsports and self discipline is much better now cause of the app. Only things I would love are some more features, what ever that may be. A way to organize your habits, dailies, and to dos better than it is now. ### 5/5 — Has been a great help! *2026-07-13, version 4.0.3* Every day I check in and see how far I have come from originally relying on discipline. The use of gamification and fantasy rewards really makes the experience more enjoyable and meaningful when I’m working on getting better along with others. ### 5/5 — I enjoy it *2026-07-13, version 4.0.3* Something I have used for a long time. I really enjoy it ### 5/5 — What a wonderful app *2026-07-12, version 4.0.3* This app took me from the lowest point in my life to such a healthy place. Love it, level 94 and still going strong. Would recommend for anyone with executive function issues ### 5/5 — LOVE IT but can you add something to the app *2026-07-10, version 4.0.3* So I LOVE this app but I am using it for games when I’m bored because yes I’m a teen but I still like little games so I count how much times I do the game right and stuff but I need you to please add for the reset counter can you add like a “never reset” button or something because I wanna see how much times I’ve done the game right now I wrote the directions all year or maybe for years so if you could add a “never reset” button I would love that but this game is SO FUN I recommend downloading this game. ### 3/5 — Ok aber könnte besser sein *2026-07-10* Die Idee ist gut. Am Anfang fand ich es schon etwas schwer zu verstehen bzgl der unterschiedlichen Reitern und wie man die zeitlich auch einstellt, vielleicht ein Mini Tutorial Game wäre hilfreich (also ein ausführliches) … Was mich sehr enttäuscht. Dass man seine Tiere quasi verhungern lassen muss, da man Futter nur mit Diamanten kaufen kann und die - oh Wunder, müssen mich echtem Geld gekauft werden. Tja… ich brüte dann keine Eier aus und lass das eine Tier halt jetzt verhungern… Schade das man nicht eine alternative Möglichkeit hat zb mit den coins… daher auch nur 3 Sterne. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you missed the tutorial. You can also reset the tutorial by going to Menu > About > Support. We also have good news for you about your eggs. You can sometimes earn food by completing your tasks or find it in the Enchanted Armoire. So you won't have to spend any money to feed your Pets food unless you want to. ### 5/5 — This helps! *2026-07-09, version 4.0.3* Getting this app has helped me and my family stay consistent of our habits. Yea I did die once but I kept playing and I got coins and other things. I bought about 7 pets and they’re really cool! I love this game 10/10 recommend if u want to stay consistent with ur habits! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-07-08, version 4.0.3* I’m a gamer and this helped me to really start building good habits bc I wanted to progress and not be a bum sitting on my couch all day long ### 5/5 — LOVE IT, only 1 problem. *2026-07-05, version 4.0.3* I have been playing Habitica for months free and I genuinely love every aspect of the app. The one thing I have a problem with is gems. There are almost no ways to get gems outside of spending money which sucks if you enjoy the completion and collection aspect of games! Sure you can join challenges but the chances of winning are too low. I just wish there were more ways to earn gems, like surveys or something, that would make the game a lot better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hi *2026-07-26, version 4.0.3* I am giving one star. Because you said that I should rate you. >:( leave me and my son alone. ### 1/5 — Проблеми зі зміною мови *2026-05-31, version 4.0.3* Немає української мови, все на мові ворога - на російській. Коли змінюєш на англійську, то частина все одно залишається російською! І взагалі, якщо ви заходите на НЕ малий ринок України, то робіть додаток з українською мовою! Не розраховуйте на те, що ми і так знаємо ворожу мову соссійську! Дарма витратив час. Моя дитина не знає мову ворога російську, знає тільки українську і трохи англійську. ### 1/5 — Cross Platform Reminder Bug *2026-05-16, version 4.0.3* So far my experience has been mixed. Habitica doesn’t work as seamlessly as other to do solutions like Todoist, with the biggest annoyance being broken cross platform reminder between PC, Android, and iOS. I’m using Habitica for a very narrow purpose because I like the RPG mechanics. But I would not recommend this as anyone’s standalone approaching Light task management system. This bug has reportedly been open for years and has never been fixed. ### 1/5 — НЕ работает, приложение недоработано *2026-05-02, version 4.0.3* Не отмечается выполненное из списка дел, не повышаются навыки. И в целом приложении недоделано, предоставили сырой материал. Нет аватара, нет питомцев, одежды. Есть функция «изменить аватар» но внутри пустые ячейки. Есть разделы квесты, рынок, снаряжение и т.д. Но там все пусто ### 1/5 — WIDGETS NOT UPDATING AGAIN FOR 100th time *2026-04-18, version 4.0.2* This bug is constantly coming back where you add to your To Dos and it doesn’t update and it either skips it or doesn’t show it at all. I sent a message to their admin to report the bug and they were rude saying just use the app itself for now. Completely unacceptable and not professional. this app could easily have 4 to 5 stars but it’s no wonder they have 2.4 only. Please have this fixed. I’m not alone so many people are leaving the app bc of this constant back and forth ### 1/5 — New day doesn’t start *2026-04-11, version 4.0.2* hi, as I log in the app says there’s an issue and to let us know about it. basically the day doesn’t start, cannot tick of dailies at all. widget doesn’t work either. I tried to delete and reinstall the app, didn’t work. can you look into it pls? ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-08, version 4.0.2* When I try to sign in it always says request timed out and I can’t sign in ### 1/5 — Unethical *2026-04-06, version 4.0.2* I downloaded this app and use it one day to see if it would be efficient to use with clients. Since then, I have been trying to figure out how to unsubscribe yet I’ve been charged. ### 1/5 — Finish button *2026-03-14, version 4.0.1* Finish button doesn’t work on character creation ### 1/5 — App Constantly Crashes *2026-03-13, version 4.0.1* A recent update changed the look of the app but resulted in the app constantly crashing. It’s almost unusable. They should roll back the update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really helps building healthy routine! *2026-08-29, version 4.0.7* Fun, effective, easy to use, and I love the pets! I like my team too - they are very supportive! ### 5/5 — Simple & fun *2026-08-26, version 4.0.7* A sucker for 8bit anything ### 5/5 — Love this app!!!!!! *2026-08-15, version 4.0.6* I have ADHD and find it hard to do tasks, but this app has been a game changer, I feel like cleaning, chores, working out, and other tasks are so fun now!! It’s has also helped me build some healthy habits and actually get stuff done, it’s like a fun video game, 10/10 would recommend!! <3 ### 5/5 — Love It *2026-08-15, version 4.0.6* Such a fun way to build habits. Truly effective if you love RPG style games! ### 5/5 — App review *2026-08-11, version 4.0.4* Love this app. Super helpful with making staying on task fun! ### 5/5 — Everyone should give it a try *2026-08-09, version 4.0.4* I can’t say enough about this app. It really has transformed my life for the better! I hope you feel the same. DM me @NoMarshAllMellow if you want to connect / join my party. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-09, version 4.0.4* This app is really unique and a great way to gamify your habits. Its super motivating and enjoyable to use. Would love it if a calendar were also added to visually demonstrate when you did certain habits so you can better keep track ### 5/5 — Really Good *2026-08-05, version 4.0.4* I love using this app to track my fitness, because it gamifies it for me keeping me engaged yk. I love how you can change the difficulty of a task, and how there are habits vs daily tasks. BUG (maybe): I have to go into the app manually each day to reset my daily tasks and habits. Dunno if this is intended but it’s pretty frustrating as I almost lost my daily streak at one point. :( But all in all it deserves all 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-03, version 4.0.3* Best habit tracking app, even without the gamification. Tried other stuff. Used this consistently for 1+ year stretches since 2015. ### 5/5 — Very great *2026-07-28, version 4.0.3* Very great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
