Even name badges and name tags to be unlocked and made cooler with the rank were in. ### 2/5 — Can barley do anything without Paying *2026-03-12, version 1.91* Trying to make us pay to do more habit? Kinda messed up ### 4/5 — Great idea, decent execution, excited for the future *2026-03-11, version 1.91* This app is a solo passion project to my knowledge, the creator listens and checks in on the community fixing bugs and making additions that the community wants. The idea behind the app works well, I have been more motivated and consistent with my goals. The only reason it is not a 5 star is the app still has some small issues that need to be tweaked but I am very excited to see how the app will grow! ### 3/5 — Just downloaded *2026-03-10, version 1.91* Why is this app asking me to rate it when I just downloaded it? I have no insight to if it’s good or bad ### 2/5 — Not really worth it *2026-03-09, version 1.91* You can only complete one habit a day unless you pay a subscription ### 4/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2026-03-01, version 1.89* I normally don’t give app reviews but this app is the closest to the rpg gamified life changer that I could find so I’ve got to give it props. I hope to continue it see the app grow and develop but right now I’d say it’s off to a great start. ### 3/5 — No female option *2026-02-27, version 1.89* I really like the app but theres no female avatar. Its a great app, but with only male avatars it makes it hard to get into. please add female options. ### 4/5 — One minor issue *2026-02-19, version 1.89* App is great so far, but I’ve noticed that the “quest” tab continues to scroll although nothing is there, so if I scroll down for 3 mins straight “even if I’ve already scrolled passed the programs” id have to scroll up for 3 mins to get back to the programs. Other than that GREATE app. Especially for the ones that have ADHD like myself. 🔥🔥 ### 4/5 — Love the concept *2026-02-15, version 1.88* I‘m on day 2 and I love what I see so far. Not sure why tbh but I like to get virtual rewards for my daily tasks and also like the challenges to get out of my comfort zone. ### 5/5 — Great Morovatior *2026-02-13, version 1.88* Actively working on some bugs on a great app. Key words actively working and taking user feedback to improve. ### 2/5 — Very buggy *2026-02-13, version 1.88* This game is so baggy. I even bought lifetime deal and for what? The game is not done yet. Don’t bother downloading. ### 5/5 — Really good but has a big *2026-02-09, version 1.87* Hello, I’m really enjoying the app and it’s helping me achieve my goals. The only issue is that it says I’ve completed tasks and shows up as green and ticked when it’s the next day so it looks like I’ve done it but I haven’t. I’m a premium user and I really like the app, just that small problem ### 3/5 — Great concept, poor execution *2026-02-09, version 1.87* Im not entirely sure what the solution is here. I get that this app is a one man show and is probably being developed in his spare time. I love the layout, the game was initially engaging but there seems to be a lot of bugs and just a lot of basic features that are missing from what an app like this should have just to function. Reordering tasks is a pain and there is a lot screen lag in reorder mode. This leads to habits being marked as done when they are not, since the screen doesn’t seem to know the difference between dragging a habit to a different location or using the quick swipe to mark a habit done. This in itself is a bit frustrating but on top of that there is no way to undo a done habit if you mark it accidentally. I levelled up enough to get the tasks feature but you can’t set due dates, reorder task, create subtasks, or assign them to a larger goal/project. These basic functions are available on virtually every other productivity app. The quests are a neat feature but many of the steps are not applicable to any goals I want to achieve. They also can’t be edited so going through them seems like a waste of time. If would be better if we could use the quests framework to create our own quests that were relevant to our own goals. I missed a couple days and logged into the app, but tasks I checked off a couple days ago haven’t reset and still show as checked off. I bought the lifetime subscription but unless there are some serious updates to this app I don’t think I will continue using it. I simply don’t have the time and I just need something that works. I don’t suggest that others spend their hard earned money on it. Visit again in a couple years and see if the developer has made any progress. ### 5/5 — Works to get me doing stuff *2026-02-07, version 1.87* Surprised how I’m getting motivated to do my daily tasks to level up my character and get more attacks in. I’m eager to see more updates on gear and progression system. ### 5/5 — Best habit game *2026-02-02, version 1.87* This has been the best way to gamify habits that I’ve found ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-01-24, version 1.86* I like this app so far helps me stay in stack for my new life ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t even make an account *2026-04-17, version 1.93* Been trying for literally weeks, it just keeps loading forever ### 1/5 — SCAM! WONT GIVE REFUND *2026-04-06, version 1.92* this app DOES NOT WORK. i paid $50 for the lifetime subscription and the app is completely broken, not allowing me to move past level 7, YET REFUSE TO GIVE ME A REFUND THROUGH APPLE ### 1/5 — Limited Quests *2026-03-21, version 1.92* I am honestly not sure if I am doing something wrong, but the pop up to buy the subscription keeps on showing up even though I unlocked a new skill on the skill tree. I like the app otherwise, I just don't know how to unlock more quests. ### 1/5 — Top Idee, ZU TEUER! *2026-03-02, version 1.89* Die Idee dahinter ist super. Ich würde die App gerne intensiver nutzen. Als Free User kann man jedoch nur 1 „Habit“ tracken. Joa. Der Lebenslang Deal kostet ganze 60€. Soviel kosten gute, jahrelang entwickelte Video-Spiele wie neue Pokémon-Spiele, GTA oder ect. Für solch eine App ganz klar viel zu viel verlangt! Andere Option: 15€ im Monat. Selbst Netflix ist billiger. Option 3: ein Abo für 1 Jahr = 50€. Ein Lacher. ### 1/5 — Login failed, uses ai art *2025-12-16, version 1.83* Shows u a bunch of shoddy ai art at the beginning, then doesn’t want you to sign in. Low quality cash grab ### 1/5 — Fun idea, heavy on monetization *2025-11-30, version 1.81* You can’t get very far in this app without ponying up for a subscription. There’s enough subscriptions in life already - just put the app up for a one-time fee and let’s be done with it. ### 1/5 — Für alles muss man bezahlen *2025-11-12, version 1.81* Man kann eine Sache machen pro Tag wenn man mehr will muss man direkt bezahlen dann kann auch grad die App Geld kosten. ### 1/5 — Sadly expensive *2025-10-15, version 1.76* Very good idea, implementation is fine, UI is OK, but 999TRY with offer? It is not ok. Pricing is out of mind especially in Türkiye. Without premium you cant do more than 2 habits. Then where is the gamification in there? ### 1/5 — Ble *2025-09-11, version 1.71* Disgusting AI Slop 👎 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-07-26, version 1.70* I was so excited when I was doing the start up, and felt very disappointed when at the end it comes that it’s a payment app… should have said it first the start up ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Tracker *2026-06-27, version 1.97* Fun app that help you stay motivated and encouraged to do daily tasks and chores, or remind you of goals to be reached. You should download now and pay for pro!! ### 5/5 — Creator works hard and cares *2026-06-09, version 1.96* Thoughtful, one person doing this themselves and they keep improving it. They have a section for suggestions people can vote on to show popularity of what the app should be. They listen and improve it. Been nearly a year and it wasn’t great but the idea worked and it’s really shaping up. When it was less popular I actually messaged the creator on the app in the chat and they responded so nicely. A big winner, and it’s really helped me to keep me focused. ### 5/5 — A *2026-05-21, version 1.95* This app help me a lot to actually accomplish my habits and track them ### 5/5 — Personally I think it’s worth it for me w/ AuDHD *2026-05-05, version 1.95* I don’t normally write reviews. Anyways I tried out the free trial for 1 week I got. I fell in love with the app. I bought the $60 lifetime app usage thing. Me personally, it’s hard to take care of myself. It’s hard taking care of my basic needs like showering, brushing teeth, cleaning in general, and eating. It’s all very inconvenient for me. I can’t stand doing it. With this app though. I have actually started brushing my teeth on a regular basis. Not every day but every other day. It’s a work in progress. I get excited to be able to check stuff off in the app. I was able to do weed whacking, vacuum my room, throw out some of my garbage in my room, walk on the treadmill for a little bit and brush my teeth all in one day. That’s personally a HUGE accomplishment for me. Normally before I would only be doing one of those things and then either spend the rest of the day sleeping or hyper-fixating on a video game for the rest of my time on a day off. If you read this far, thank you I appreciate it. 🙏☺️ Sorry if I over explained things. I’m very good at that. ### 5/5 — If you are serious about changing your life for the better. *2026-03-09, version 1.91* This app does a phenomenal job with balancing game time with real life matters. You get rewarded to play more & progress in game by doing things in real life first, chores, meal prepping, working out, studying, doing work, etc. You mark off what you do in real life, and then you get to progress in the game as a consequence! Recommend paying 50 bucks one time for lifetime access. ### 5/5 — Provatela *2026-03-04, version 1.91* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-25, version 1.89* Really makes reaching goals more interesting ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-02-21, version 1.89* If you like RPGs and want to become more disciplined this is 100% the app for you. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app!!! *2026-02-15, version 1.89* It’s actually fun and rewarding doing my chores and reaching my goals now. ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!! great for gaining motivation and and seeing your progress I love the meditation help. And loot boxes of prizes! And battling monsters is awesome! Also building my characters armour! Thanks so much to the creator!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Lion Xp *2026-02-15, version 1.88* Works great, Consistency and habit building I wish there was a daily streak and the habits would reset each 24 hours but it is still a great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
