Otherwise, very satisfied with the app. ### 4/5 — Favorite app but… *2026-05-25, version 1.1.7* I love everything about this app except for the fact that I can’t log more than once a day and it’s inconvenient for habits where I track more than once a day. ### 5/5 — It’s perfect *2026-05-24, version 1.1.7* Simple but effective. The only missing thing is having it on your Apple Watch, but thanks anyway for the free app! ### 3/5 — güzel ama EKSİK *2026-05-23, version 1.1.7* tasarım ve sadelik çok güzel, reklamsız ve ücretsiz oluşuna da değinmeliyim. LAKİN bildirimler stabil gelmiyor VE widgette tıklama olmalı. Uygulamadaki tıklama da zaten yetersiz. her gün için bir tık yerine gün içerisindeki birden fazla göreve (günde 3kez diş fircalamak icin 3 kez tik atmak) birden fazla tik gerekli. ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2026-05-22, version 1.1.7* Uso esta app hace más de un año, hace una sola cosa y la hace bien ### 5/5 — Fantastic free app *2026-05-19, version 1.1.7* Many thanks to the fantastic developers of the world like this one that make excellent apps like this for free. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-18, version 1.1.7* Good ### 5/5 — Best App of All Time *2026-05-13, version 1.1.7* Only habit app that I could find that lets you make infinite habits for free. The greatest app ever and I will use it until I’m dead. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-12, version 1.1.7* Only app which is not paid and works pretty well without any ads or promos ### 5/5 — Fast perfekt 5 ⭐️ *2026-05-11, version 1.1.7* In einer Zeit in der alles teurer wird, ist es schön zu sehen, dass es Entwickler gibt bei denen der Gedanke der App im Vordergrund steht. Die App bietet eine gute Möglichkeit seine Gewohnheiten zu tracken und das in einer schönen minimalistischen Art ohne Reizüberflutung, Abo-Modellen oder Schnickschnack. Für mich ist es die angenehmste Habit App, die ich bis jetzt hatte. Hier wäre es sogar in Ordnung ein paar Euro in die Hand zu nehmen (wenn es ein Einmalkauf wäre) da die App einen wirklichen Mehrwert bietet. Darüberhinaus ist es schön, mehrere Apps in einer zu haben. Der Timer und das Journal innerhalb der App sind praktische Tools, welche die App abrunden. Somit kann man seinen Homebildschirm schön übersichtlich gestalten ohne, dass man zwischen 3 Apps hin und her wechseln muss. Warum „nur“ fast perfekt: Das Einzige was mir aktuell fehlt wären Habit Listen die man z.B. über das gedrückt halten der Routinetaste auswählen kann. Hier wäre es schön, wenn man beispielsweise eine Liste für die Arbeit erstellen könnte und eine für sich selbst etc. Somit wäre es für mich noch übersichtlicher. Fazit: Eine rundum gelungene App welche ich gerne langfristig nutzen möchte. Pros: sehr übersichtlich Kostenlos 3 in 1 App Minimalistisch Konta: Keine Listen für verschiedene Situationen ### 5/5 — Appli très utile *2026-05-09, version 1.1.7* Appli très utile & gratuite. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas partager une habitude avec une autre personne. ### 4/5 — Love the colorful, simple interface. Missing a few key functionalities. *2026-05-09* I’ve used a few habit tracking apps and this is my favorite interface that I’ve seen. I love that it’s clean, colorful and easy to read. Great work! Would love to keep using it but definitely missing a few functions that I’ve seen in other apps that would be useful: - Being able to check off a habit multiple times in one day (for instance, for medicine that needs to be taken morning and night) - Being able to duplicate already created habits so as not to have to set all parameters from scratch - Being able to click through the calendar to see habit/task lists on different days - Being able to sort habits by time of day (morning vs evening for example) - Being able to set the time increment to “weeks” or “months” for habits. Currently, everything is by days so a weekly habit must be set to every “7 days”, which isn’t totally intuitive. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-05-02, version 1.1.7* This is a dream come true! Excellent functionality for no fee, so thankful for no ads. Simple and easy to use but has all the features you want in a habit tracker. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good overall *2026-05-01, version 1.1.7* Good for tracking habits. The only frustrating thing is the monthly wrap never includes the last day of the month. So even if you do the habit all 30 days in the month, it always says you only did 29/30 or 97% completion when it was truly 100%. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-29, version 1.1.7* Minimalist. Free. Storage also low. Many thanks! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-28, version 1.1.7* Finally, a simple, straightforward habit tracking app without all the hassles of subscriptions and ads. Been looking for this for a while. Would highly recommend. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-04-28* This app is amazing and I want to thank the developers for making such a great app for people to use honestly using it for free just makes me a lot better about myself and helps me really focus on the things I wanna get done rather than paying for a subscription. One suggestion, I would really want the developers to make and do is to make it widget, live activity and synchronize with shortcuts so I could use it in multiple ways ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Intrusive tracker *2026-06-24, version 1.1.7* Judging by how quickly my phone battery has been repeatedly drained since I installed this app two days ago it is constantly on and running watching my every move. I’ll leave you to make your own decision but I am going to REMOVE IT NOW. ### 1/5 — Notifications *2026-05-11, version 1.1.7* I have just started using the app and the only issue I found is that it’s not giving me any notifications when I have the timer set for and in settings it doesn’t allow me to turn on notifications ### 1/5 — Deleted my Habits TWICE *2026-05-02, version 1.1.7* There’s no promise your app won’t just open one day to an empty “start your task” even after months of tracking several tasks DAILY. So annoying, and I won’t be using this app anymore. ### 1/5 — Another Broken Habit Tracker *2026-02-12, version 1.1.7* I downloaded this after InnerGrow’s Habit Tracker app failed to accurately keep track of my completed habits. Onrise was free and had good privacy features, so I gave it a try. I used Onrise for two months and it was great. Then they released their monthly At a Glance feature. I completed all my habits for January, but according to this new feature I completed only 30 of 31 days. What’s the point of using a habit tracker app if it can’t even do the thing it supposed to do? Reply to developer: Maybe I missed a day? I started using the app on December 8 and completed all goals. I also completed all goals for January, and the first day of February (the day I stopped using it). Your app said I had a 56-day streak (24 + 31 + 1). I wouldn’t have a 56-day streak if I missed a day, would I? Maybe you just missed a line in the code? ### 1/5 — I love this app but something needs to change *2026-02-07, version 1.1.7* This app is soo good I love it and it don’t cost money that’s the best part but it doesn’t let you set the time so instead of it ringing at a.m. it rings at p.m. I want it to ring at 8 AM please please please put a p.m. or a.m. spot so we can check off if we want it at a.m. or p.m. thank you so much ### 1/5 — Another Broken Habit Tracker *2026-02-01, version 1.1.7* I downloaded this after InnerGrow’s Habit Tracker app failed to accurately keep track of my completed habits. Onrise was free and had good privacy features, so I gave it a try. I used Onrise for two months and it was great. Then they released their monthly At a Glance feature. I completed all my habits for January, but according to this new feature I completed only 30 of 31 days. What’s the point of using a habit tracker app if it can’t even do the thing it supposed to do? ### 1/5 — Really simple FREE habit tracker *2026-01-14, version 1.1.6* The perfect habit tracker with reminders and an helpful widget to keep track of the things you want to measure.. very easy to set up and get reminders etc.. super cool that it's free too ### 1/5 — Impossible to customize many things *2025-11-01, version 1.1.6* It’s crazy how amazingly good and bad this app is, I want to remove those 7 rights (THEY MAKE NO SENSE) why can’t I set up only 3 for brushing teeth why 7 how stupid it is how can I count how many times per day I drank water 500 ml , dissatisfied and disappointed ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-11-01* Unable to set any habit making activities. Must be outdated and should be removed from Apple Apps listings. The idea is fantastic and free would be great but in a world of nickel and diming, I should have realized it was too good to be true ☹️ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-10, version 1.1.6* Easy to download and the look of it once I did was appealing enough but I got to create my first habit and I hit the create button and nothing happens, had to delete the app and reinstall it just to see if it was my phone or the app but the same thing happened! Free is good but doesn’t always work! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-03* Easy ### 5/5 — Very amazing *2026-07-09, version 1.1.7* The app is completely free which I love and it doesn’t buy me everyday to “ upgrade to premium” it does exactly what I need it to and looks extremely clean and aesthetic! Would recommend and day to anyone ### 5/5 — Super simple *2026-07-08, version 1.1.7* Great app for those wanting a very simple visual way to track habits ### 5/5 — Only Smart Habit Tracker *2026-07-02, version 1.1.7* Love the update that brought us the monthly and yearly summaries. Very cool and enjoy the data! This is the only habit tracker I have found that is able to handle my “3 day a week (but ANY day of the week)” habits. It tracks them just like my daily habits. It is easy to use. It gets the job done. I don’t use the journal or focus parts, just the tracker. ### 5/5 — yay *2026-07-01, version 1.1.7* the perfect basic habit tracker!! 0 ads or cash grabs ### 5/5 — Very well Made App *2026-06-25* The app is incredible, I like to keep stuff minimalistic when it comes to notetaking, tracking etc. This app just fulfills it all. Especially since it’s free and allows me a fair amount of habits is awesome. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-09, version 1.1.7* Everything is simple and perfect ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-01, version 1.1.7* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Perfect. ACTUALLY FREE. Simple. *2026-05-30, version 1.1.7* If you just want to keep track of progress on habits, this does that clearly and simply and you don’t have to pay when all the other apps make you do so. Bless the person who made this 1000x. ### 5/5 — So Great *2026-05-27, version 1.1.7* This app must be the top 1 in my fv habit apps list its free it’s easy to use it’s basic But it’s USEFUL AND IT HELPS ME ALOT --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
