### 4/5 — Could be better!

*2024-09-21*

This app has a fun interface that gives you a few different categories to organize the different habits you choose to create. While the app has some cool features is lacking in data analytics. I think that more feedback on how I could improve my habit routines would help me improve habits faster and more efficiently!

### 4/5 — So far so good, with one minor gripe

*2023-09-14*

Love the simplicity, and overall design. Not like most habit trackers that are bloated and overly complex. 

My minor gripe is the ‘stair-step’ design of the top (Ideas/Doing/Done) menubar. The ‘Done’ label is literally touching the top-right Apple menu items: Signal Strength/Battery. This causes accidental activation of Apple’s built in menus, which are more important to me than this app. Removing the stair-step would fix this.

### 3/5 — Does the job

*2023-06-13*

Simple to use and effective. Does the job 👍

### 4/5 — better than other free habit trackers

*2022-08-27*

great to have a free app that doesn’t limit how many habits you can track. you can edit the names of habits too (you’re not limited to their ideas). I like the design and the ease of use - definitely one of the better ones I’ve downloaded and hopefully the one I’ll stick with

### 3/5 — Great App, but if You Could Remove the Ideas Tab.

*2022-06-15*

The app is amazing and does exactly what it says. The UI is user friendly. However, The Ideas tab takes a large portion of the app. If I do not need those ideas they become a nuisance. If you could replace instead of ideas all of the habits the user has accumulated. The ideas tab maybe could be placed in the settings if someone needs inspiration.

### 3/5 — You need a major change

*2022-05-21, version 1.3.6*

Let us delete the prefilled balls and let us make our own. This is something I would gladly pay for.

### 4/5 — Habits app

*2022-01-06, version 1.3.6*

I am really enjoying the reminders to keep up with my goals. I also love that this app helps me sent new goals for different days. I do wish I could set more of my own goals and not just the ones in the app already but other than that I would recommend this app.

### 4/5 — Lovely and helpful app

*2021-11-01*

Attractive to look at and easy to use. Very helpful app which motivates.

### 5/5 — Amazingly helpful

*2021-09-20*

This is amazing! 
Thank you developers for making this app!
It is amazing because it gives you suggestions and you can create your own, not only that but it allows you to for example only the mental suggestions and then you can flick to any other one!
Thank you.
Must download.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love it!

*2021-08-21*

This app is amazingly good! Does the job of all paid apps out there, with a really cool user friendly interface. It has the most basic and most essential features. Developers have done a great job by not adding too many features just to attract users and end up confusing. Love it!

### 5/5 — Daily User- Download Today!

*2021-07-13, version 1.3.6*

I absolutely adore this app! 🙌 I have used it daily for almost a year now. It’s simple yet adjustable with a stunning display of color. 🌈 I also love that I can skip days/weeks without any penalty. ~Highly Recommend!!!~

### 5/5 — Really good

*2021-07-13*

- love the aesthetic side of things, very relaxed and overall pretty nice to look at
- gives me complete control over the habits I have, when I need to do them, when I get reminders
- lots of great ideas in the ideas section, really helpful

### 5/5 — Simple yet very good

*2021-06-18*

I downloaded maybe 10 different apps for my habits trucking. And among all these apps this is the only one truly free without any restriction and trials! Very simple and effective with the daily reminders.
Little tip: if you cannot find a “bubble” - the habit that you need to work on you simply can pick any “bubble” and rename it according to what habit/activity you want to track or get used to. 
The program is very simple but very well organized. Only 3 categories. It’s great!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-06-11*

Just what I was looking for, plus it’s colourful and free! Thank you so much... I will use this everyday!

### 5/5 — It’s the simplest things…

*2021-06-07*

No annoying bells nor silly whistles, no loud empty promises, this is a simple solution. Love this app.

### 3/5 — Want To Love It, But...

*2021-03-13*

This app is a wonderful concept, but I fear it may be abandoned. A user left a review mentioning the inability to mark habits as "done" multiple times about three years ago. This issue is still prevalent today, where the right swipe function can mark a habit as "done" only once. A lot of love went into this app's creation and I wish the bugs would be addressed, but it remains to be seen if the developer is updating this app anymore.

### 5/5 — Simple and great!

*2021-03-11*

Very simple and very useful

### 5/5 — This is an absolutely lovely app!

*2021-02-25*

This is absolutely a lovey app. Piles of other habit apps exist, but this one felt more streamlined and straight to the point. It’s very easy to use, yet can do so much for you. Plus... no ads! Thank you guys for making it; I really appreciate your hard work.

### 1/5 — Colours choice please

*2022-12-18*

Update; Saturday 17 December 2022;  
I just checked wondering if anything has been said replying to anyones colour requests but it’s still A BIG FAT NOTHING so this remains absent from my phone.
You’re confusing because you ask for reviews but you don’t answer any. ☔️🌷☔️🌷☔️
☔️☔️☔️
Update Thursday 10 November 2022 It’s been over a year now since my review and there’s nothing of a reply or any update that takes us colour issue customers up on our requests so one point removed (now at one point) and as soon as I finish typing this, it’s deleted. Goodbye! Absent Customer Service, POOR DEVELOPERS ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️🌷🌷🌷🌷
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Friday 7 October 2021 Rating 2 points Title; Colours choice please Hello Simple Habit Tracker Can we have a choice of colours to use please? The ones you’ve chosen aren’t possible for me either, same as some other people have stated. It’s too dazzling. It gives me a headache so I can’t look at it. Please give other choices? Not such bright ones please. When you can help, I can revise my review. Yours sincerely 🌷

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-02-01*

I really liked the design of this app but it’s not really any good if it doesn’t remind you when you’ve set. I’ll be lucky if it randomly reminds me once a week

### 1/5 — Not one of the better ones

*2019-04-24*

App’s marketers seem to be more focused on unnecessary graphics than information.  Awkward layout for an iPhone screen.  

It’s still advertising as a tool for new year’s resolutions in late April?  Competitive market—maybe they’ve given up. 

I’m deleting.

### 1/5 — New Update

*2019-02-18*

(EDIT: Still no update and the issues continue. I wish I hadn’t gone a month without this app cause I really miss the way it was!)

I have loved this app for the last few months, until the most recent update: the new problem of not being able to check off the right ones. Every time I “check off” a habit, it checks off a different one and I’m thrown off. Please fix this or put it back to the way it was.

Other than that, it’s great with its ideas and the fact that you can put as many habits as you’d like, with many different options.

### 1/5 — Tree

*2019-01-01, version 1.3.1*

How do you get rid of this stupid tree? 

Use to love app...until it changed to this tree. Can’t get app support without connecting to Facebook and I’m not going todo that. Or setting up mail app on phone since it doesn’t sync.

Loved the app before but latest upgrade is bad. Check one item and it marks item above it. Plus gets difficult going back days.

### 1/5 — Habits in reverse

*2018-01-03*

Lynnsykes88, I added what I wanted to pursue easily. I’m so excited about creating new habits. My only concern is that the list on any day goes by reverse order of the reminder time. So something I want to be reminded of in the morning is at the bottom of the list, while the top of the list is the last thing I want to be reminded of before bed. Wish it would list chronologically.

UPDATE: day2, you’ve lost three stars !!! I can’t mark anything as completed or skipped. I erased everything and started over thinking it was me. Then I added fewer items in and tried to mark them. Still couldn’t. So I switched over to my iPhone (by the way, not syncing with the iPad) and added a few in. These I could mark as done, but only once. I marked today’s and after that the ones for yesterday I couldn’t mark. 

Started off great, and I have hopes that you will correct this soon as it was a promising app.

### 2/5 — Needs More Customization Options

*2022-01-01*

This app only lets you create goals in 4 categories: Physical, Mental, Emotional, & Spiritual. Those category names can not be edited and no new categories can be added. So, if I want to create goals for things like meditation and exercise, this app might be ideal. But if I want to create goals for more practical or productive things like clearing out my email inbox daily or vacuuming one room each day, there’s really no category for those things. 

I’m also frustrated that there’s no way to designate certain goals to happen only on certain days. For example, I’d like to be able to set up a goal of walking 3 miles each weekday, but not have it show up on the weekends. 

Overall, I love the appearance of this app in terms of the colors and the floaty bubbles for each individual goal, but it just doesn’t have the customization options that I’m looking for.

### 2/5 — So call simple

*2020-11-22*

It definitely wasn’t simple to use found it difficult.

### 2/5 — Simple to use but useless for tracking

*2020-03-07*

Setting up is easy, swiping done is easy, skipping is easy. It lists your habits day by day, simple and basic. You can do a 21 day challenge then it disappears. However, the tracking is useless. The numbers make no sense. I don’t know in ratio or percentage how I’m really doing per habit or as a whole, per month or overall. I wanted to reward my kids for starting new healthy habits but we couldn’t tell how they actually did. I also asked support several time via email and never got a response. 

So you can track stuff but you can’t use the data.

### 2/5 — Huh?

*2019-03-31, version 1.3.1*

What’s the point of the tree again?? Not all my habits show up there. Seems like a weird addition... I get many duplicate notifications for a single habit on the iPhone.  It’s kind of a weird app.  I don’t think I need all the habit ideas.  I mean, we probably know what we want to change in our lives already right?  I’ll try it for another few days and maybe I’ll get more used to it.

### 5/5 — 🥇👌👍

*2023-11-13*

Simple and effective with a minimal and intuitive design. Set your goals and select frequency. Makes a good challenge to maintain a perfect score which can be viewed in summary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Developers are you there?

*2023-02-17*

Hi … I sent a few emails as questions about the app but noone gets back to  me. 
I have to confess I love this app !! It is easy to use although it took me a while to work it out as there are no faqs or instructions 
Does anyone know how to get sound alerts. 
I e ticked tye rrminder box and get screen alerts but if not right next to phone I don’t see these 
It’s set  on my iPhone to get sounds in notifications ..but the app doesn’t seem to allow sound fleets . Is thst right?  
I can think of all sort of ways to use this app but without any feedback/ support one is somewhat stymied .

### 5/5 — Free & easy to use

*2023-02-04*

I love this app at the end of the day I track all my accomplishments for the day.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective habit tracker

*2023-01-01*

As an ADHD’er, I’ve tried too many habit tracking apps to count. The Habits app is flexible enough to utilize in pursuit of major and simple goals. The punch list style interface gives me a shot of satisfaction as I cross things off my list. I highly recommend this tool!

### 5/5 — Great free app beautifully designed

*2022-12-12*

Perfect for what I want - monitoring about a dozen habits.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2022-07-28*

I am thrilled to find this app. Many apps have so many features I get bogged down and distracted changing things I fail to take action. 

With this app it motivates me to want to check off a habit without keeping me on the app. I can use it and put it down. This is hard when you have ADHD especially.

### 5/5 — Review for Habits

*2022-07-20, version 1.3.6*

Habits keeps me motivated to keep on my daily tasks. It is colorfully creative and the moving bubbles always grasp my attention. Thanks for having it out there!!

### 5/5 — Brilliantly simple

*2022-02-08*

I downloaded a few habit apps but they all took too much time to set up. This was so quick and intuitive. I love the interface and categories too. If there was anything else to add it would be the option to create new categories e.g.work but really it’s great as it is. I would happily pay for this app. Thank you to the developers.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-01-08, version 1.3.6*

I created my own goals and chose the days to track. So easy and the reminders are helpful. Recommend!!

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2021-11-20, version 1.3.6*

Great app to keep track of goals and remind you of them.
