It’s my emotional regulation and it’s my “me time.” I was spending easily to 6 to 7hrs a day on my phone and since getting this Refract app, it’s down to 4 hrs a day and I expect the trend to keep dropping. I’ve only had the app for 5 days so we will see, but the dopamine hit for checking off my daily mommy to do list- it’s real nice 👌 ### 1/5 — Ploy to get your money *2026-04-08, version 1.3.5* Getting billed every month for something I don’t use. DO NOT sign up for this app. $63 monthly for something not used is robbery, and they make it difficult to cancel. ### 2/5 — Confused *2026-04-07, version 1.3.5* Can’t see how this is going to help ### 1/5 — VERY COSTLY AND CANNOT CANCEL *2026-03-18, version 1.3.5* Do not get scammed! I had over $450 in charges by this app this month. We are working through our credit card to block but this is a scam!! ### 4/5 — Good, but needs better context memory *2026-03-11, version 1.3.5* I think this app is very helpful in making me more intentional about my phone use and prioritizing tasks for my day. However, it needs better context memory. Sometimes it asks me to reflect on the same question several times a day. If I don’t give a thoughtful answer each time it makes me retry, but if I tell it to come up with a new question it won’t do it. It’s a frustrating double standard. I’m hopeful that wit further development it will be even more useful to me. ### 1/5 — Says it’s good for seniors, but the type is so small I can’t read it. *2026-03-08, version 1.3.5* Deleted it before I could even get through 3 pages to set it up. Trying to read 4 point text on an iPad was painful and frustrating. ### 3/5 — App bug *2026-03-08, version 1.3.5* I can’t get started - first screen asked what it should call me, that worked fine. Then I had to select the habits I want to change - the ‘next’ button remains just off the bottom of the screen so I can’t click on it or scroll down. I have an iPhone 14. Landscape view isn’t an option. Now my brain is in a different kind of loop. ### 1/5 — Can’t access *2026-03-05, version 1.3.5* I can’t get past the page where you check what you would like to change. Can’t get to settings or anything… did not agree to monthly charges but I’m being billed for something that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2026-03-05, version 1.3.5* I have just started and I don’t understand anything. I am going to see if I can cancel it and get a refund. Let’s see if they are good in their advertising! ### 3/5 — Was great but now No longer able to plan my day tasks *2026-01-06, version 1.3.5* This started of a fantastic app. It really helped. However it does not seem to recognise my list of task when I plan my day and keeps telling me to take the off because there are no recognised tasks. It suggests numbering them, which I have. Same result. It suggests putting a - before a task. I have same result. It suggests numbering starting on a new line, which you are unable to complete as a carriage return doesn’t take you to a new line, just the next prompt. Really frustrating and useless to use now otherwise would have given it 5 stars when it was working ### 1/5 — Total Scam - Avoid, $65 a month for a “free” app! *2025-12-11, version 1.3.5* The Refract app says it is “totally free while we develop it, but we’ll give you lifetime access for a single payment of $9.99!” However, I’m getting billed $65 a MONTH for this “service” from “Todayistheday,” but there is no obvious way to unsubscribe. I can’t log in on the web site, no “Cancel” button I can find on the app, it doesn’t show up as a subscription on Apple subscriptions, and the only phone # we can find is an AI agent that never connects you to a real person. ### 1/5 — Sc@@@mmm *2025-11-25, version 1.3.5* Scam I cannot cancel 😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Today is the day *2025-11-18, version 1.3.5* This is a rather deceptive app. While it may be beneficial to some, the real benefit is to the author. What they fail to say is that they sign you up for exorbitant Recurring fees and then refuse refunds. Beware!! ### 1/5 — Have asked twice to cancel subscription, no response! *2025-10-23, version 1.3.5* Don’t join, you’ll regret it ### 1/5 — Rip-off *2025-10-18, version 1.3.5* I canceled my account in the app. I’m still getting billed! ### 1/5 — DON’T !!!! *2025-10-01, version 1.3.5* Program will not run. Freezes on second page. I have deleted & tried reloading, but still nothing. I bought the App in AUGUST and today is OCT 1. Past attempt for help has gone unanswered. Yet I am auto billed every month! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-24, version 1.3.5* Can’t get past the ‘what habit would you like to change?’ page ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-20, version 1.3.5* All I wanted was a great organizational tool for daily tasks. Fails in so many ways. Now using just my iOS calendar. Works like a charm. ### 1/5 — It’s not working for me yet. *2026-07-12, version 1.3.5* I don’t know if I can use this app to catch up on my studies. My 4 classes are meet weekly and range from 1 hour to 4 hours in length each class day. One class is 1 hour per week. One is 90 minutes per week. One class is 2-6 hours per week. One class is 4-9 hours per week. So, 14-17 hours of recorded Zoom meetings to watch each week. ### 1/5 — Um? *2026-06-11, version 1.3.5* Not exactly motivating. I was expecting far more than what it said in the promotion… ### 1/5 — No instructions? *2026-06-02, version 1.3.5* I thought this would help me prioritize and be helpful but it doesnt seem much more than a to do list on the fridge. Am i missing something? ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-06-01, version 1.3.5* I didn’t authorize payment and yet they billed me. Don’t even look at the app. ### 1/5 — They steal your money *2026-05-28, version 1.3.5* DO NOT sign up for this app. I signed up for a low-cost month but they snuck a high-cost coaching charge in, said they’d reimburse me repeatedly and didn’t. For an app I couldn’t even get to work (it kept not recognising my email) I ended up paying $134. I filed a complaint with PayPal which refused my complaint because I couldn’t provide a billing agreement! ### 1/5 — Beware of this plan. Extremely high monthly payment *2026-05-11, version 1.3.5* I thought I was paying a one time fee for this app. Then they charged me $143.72 monthly! Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Beware!!!! *2026-05-05, version 1.3.5* This company just charged me $134.33 without prior notice. Unsure what this charge covers. I don’t use this app and they have a shady refund policy. First telling me it is not within a 11 days window of purchase even though payment is only pending, they won’t refund. Now as goodwill gesture offering me 25% refund. Only able to communicate through email and with an AI virtual assistant. ### 1/5 — Didn't order *2026-04-24, version 1.3.5* Can't find way to cancel ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awe inspiring and truly helpful *2026-08-02, version 1.3.5* It’s an app that helps you challenge the way you think of life. Helping become a better you. ### 5/5 — Bipolar people *2026-07-14, version 1.3.5* This App helps you do things that means motivation at times l would walk into a room feel overwhelmed and walk out close the door this app helps u try it out it’s worth the truth ### 5/5 — Great for mindful use of apps *2026-04-11, version 1.3.5* I love that this app helps me pause for a minute before accessing social media. So I can still use it, but I don’t unconsciously open the app and start scrolling. ### 5/5 — The real deal *2026-03-09* I’ve been using planning apps and templates for two decades and this one is far above anything I’ve used before. It’s minimal interface and intelligent design cuts through the BS and delivers exactly what you need to not just set high impact goals but also prioritise the actions needed to achieve them. I bought the pro version within a day of installing the app - thankfully a one time purchase instead of the money making yearly and monthly payments - and continue to enjoy its reliable and intuitive functionality. Kudos to the developers - you’ve delivered an outstanding product! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-16, version 1.3.5* I love the goal/task oriented focus of this app. It does a great job to create friction from distracting apps. This kind of limit saves you from having to delete the apps. Great idea. I wonder if a widget is in the works. I’d like my tasks to be front and center. ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2025-07-28, version 1.3.4* Useful and user friendly ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-07-25, version 1.3.4* This app helps me to focus on my goals.. overall it’s a great app👏🏻💗 ### 5/5 — It really helps! *2025-07-23, version 1.3.4* This app really helps resist the urge to scroll. My work breaks are much more effective now that I'm not sitting in the bathroom scrolling for five minutes! ### 5/5 — Actually helped me make art again *2025-07-23, version 1.3.4* Refract made a big difference for me. It tracks your goals and makes it just hard enough to open social media that you end up doing something better instead. I’ve been making art again for the first time in ages. Super helpful,well designed and fun! ### 5/5 — Truly works, but… *2025-07-22, version 1.3.4* This app has been of great service for me to get my things done, however, I would recommend for it to allow me to plan future tasks in the following days instead of just focusing on today --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
