Free app with no free functionality

No free features.

One of the worst apps I think I have used

The app is really just a glorified paid habit tracker from my initial impressions.
The accountability relies on you to have found people, I thought the selling point was that you can join groups with likeminded people, but the number of squads is so limiting.

The habit of reaching into my pocket?

This “habit forming” app wants to give me a three day trial before purchasing an annual subscription. Three days. To form habits. Unless I’ve been given an “invite code.” By some insider perhaps. Then you get a week.

Too much money

I love Ali and I’ve been following his content for three years now I feel that his content is still good, but he is focused on making money. I think there’s a lot of potential for the app and I think that they should make a free version and a paid version to allow people to experience the app and allow Ali to still make money.

Requires a purchase

The app looks really good but its a subscription so if you’re looking for something free this is not it

Feels like it’s in the beta phase

TL;DR App is very glitchy, don’t bother. Not worth $80/year.

When you sign in with Google, it will ask you to grant access to a sketchy pleasant-blackbird-211.convex.site. I figured since I know the creators, I’ll accept.

Then, when I tried to redeem a 1-week voucher, it took me back to the Apple Store app to accept the promo, then back to the Momentum app - except that the page was blank and didn’t seem like the voucher had been redeemed at all. When I tried redeeming it again, the App Store said “Sorry, this voucher has already been redeemed by this account.”

When I advanced to the next screen, it showed me an option for a 3-day trial.

I quit the app and reopened it. Had to go through the intro screens again (no option to skip), and then when I tried to sign in again, it said, “Failed to update user profile. Please try again later.”

Overall, it feels far too unpolished to demand $80/year.

Squads are so helpful

I’ve tried a ton of habit trackers before, and always end up dropping off due to a lack of accountability… since trying on Momentum’s squads feature I’ve had a 50+ day streak & even helped some friends build 30+ day streaks on habits they’d struggle with before. You should give it a try! 🔥

Think twice!

First things first: when I first got the app, I was excited to use it and to give it my 100%. I believe I gave about 90%. I tracked my habits for almost one month and was happy with the results.

Then the app started kicking me out. I had to log in again about once a week, and then almost every other day there were updates that logged me out. Each time, I had to log back in and watch all the intro content again, which at this point felt endless and very frustrating.

Now, whenever I try to log in, all of my data seems to be deleted. It’s asking me to make a new payment, and I can’t restore my habit history. I stopped using the app for one week and tried again, but the same thing happened.

I ended up wasting $90, and I regret getting this app. I love Ali’s courses and his content overall, but this experience has been terrible. I’m very disappointed, and I still haven’t heard back from the last email I sent them earlier this month.

Cool concept but needs work

This app has potential. I wish it had more customization. I find the social section on the dashboard unnecessary and crowded. I would use this app without the social function and would love the option to hide it. Curious about their product roadmap

Overpriced and annoyed for wasting my time

Some nice ideas in this app but alas I’m tired of overpriced subscription creep and feeling tricked in to wasting 15 minutes on setup and watching primer videos only to hit a paywall or 3 day free trial that will auto-charge you ~£40-50 if you forget to unsubscribe. Same old same old, expected a less formulaic SaaS model from an app associated with the brand of Ally Abdul - annoyed me enough to bother providing this feedback!

2 days free trial

Only 2 days of free trial! It takes around 66 days to form an habit, but they don’t even give 7 days to check if this system works.

Best app ever

Keeps me consistent on my habits

Can’t use the app

I used the invite code and it asked me for yearly subscription after free trial as expected. After selecting the plan it is again asking me for invite codes. I can’t get to try the app.

Disappointed

I have followed Ali Abdaal for so long and I extremely love his videos so I knew this app would be amazing but not happy there are no free features so deleted it. Treated like the rest of the paywall apps.

Really good

The only productivity app that worked for me. Can you allow more late check-ins? And I accidentally erased the exercise snap on Sep 21st. Is it possible to recover it? Thank you very much for inventing this.

Absolute game-changer 🙌

This app is an absolute game-changer for helping you to be more consistent with habits that you know are good for you and will make you more energised but are all to easy to ‘forget’ to do or just avoid. I’ve already been so much more consistent thanks to the accountability I feel through the squad I’m part of 🙌

Extremely helpful

I didnt realize how much the squads could help me stay on track!

Pay Wall

I wish this had more options for paying and that there was a free tier option where we have access to the basics and have to pay more for certain elements. The only subscription available is a year subscription...and it's kind of pricey in this economy.

I love the webinar and was looking forward to this app, but I am not in the best financial state rn. It's not very exclusive of Ali to be honest. No hate but I am disappointed.

No free trial- and a bug at the first step!!

Disappointed that there is no free trial - still, based on following you for so long I decided to risk it. Signed up and went to create my custom habit and it didn’t allow it! So selected one from the existing list and hit the next restriction! Disappointed. Deleted my subscription within the first 5 mins! I’ll wait till this it’s properly tested and established.

No use

Should have mentioned on the Instagram only that it is a paid subscription.
