My favorite habit app. Looks so pretty and clean. Takes a little while to set up each habit but that is consistent with most of the habit trackers and depends on how many features you're wanting to use (multiple scheduling, reminders, etc.) I like that it limits you to three things to focus on (on the free version - you can have more in Premium but I'm finding it useful still to keep it a low number since I was used to that the first year or so I used it). I like that you can rate how hard a particular habit is and it will take that into account in the arc of your goal. I also like that it shows how missing a habit for a while affects the current rootedness of the habit. When you see not only the habit and the completions but the relative degree of how much something really has become a habit and you can see how missing it for a couple of days can undo how much of a habit it has become, it helps you stick to each thing a lot more I think than if all you’re tracking is completion. If you have any problems it is definitely worth the time to contact them or do a review - they helped me with a couple of questions very promptly! (Thanks you guys!) I had been using this in conjunction with Productive but now I'm just using this. For some reason the other habit apps just make me stress even when I go in to record progress etc. and Better Habits just makes me smile, and doesn't feel stressful even when I'm dropping the ball a little on a habit. All of the little graphics to record various aspects of your habit still confuse me a little bit - it really does track lots of stuff - but the longer you stick with each habit the more those markers become clear.

Hi sudacla, thank you for the detailed feedback and kind words. Perhaps I can help you with some of your concerns. To undo, tap the action button again, or if it is a multi-action habit, tap and hold the action button. To activate premium again, tap the premium button and then tap 'Restore Purchases'. If you have additional questions, please use the 'Send Feedback' link in the Settings view. I hope this is helpful, cheers!

I’ve tried literally every habit tracking app in the App Store & this is a complete flexx 💪🏼 on all of them. Building a habit is more than just a consecutive streak for 30 days. A real true habit that is automatic to us often takes 90 days tbh so that’s why I love the way the app takes this into account. The only suggestion I can think of is maybe in the area where there are pre-listed habits, to add researched tips on how to best incorporate them. Tips like habit stacking sequences, cues/triggers, significance of environment, peer group, etc. For example if you want to work out daily suggest making new friends who live the gym fitness lifestyle or the daily guitar practice gives specific tip like making sure you have obvious alignment & eliminate friction by placing guitar in the center of the room. It’s really a great app I was kinda shocked how good I put this on the first page of my phone screen - that’s prime real estate ok 😂 👌🏼

Update 2: I can finally give this app five stars. Jared has put a lot of thought, research and work into this app. I can't get myself to do anything daily without the nag feature. Thanks for brining back classic nagging! If only it worked with Snoozing, but I understand it's a limitation of iOS, not the app. Update: I have come to rely on this app to remind me to run. Its nag feature is genius. I also love the graph over the last few weeks of your ability to stick to the task. Thanks for the habit tool! Truly one that is useful.If this had an option to remind you multiple times a day to stretch or drink water, I would give it five stars. As is, it will help me with habits that need performed once a day.

EDIT: I WAS RIGHT!It was user error. I set all the settings correctly in the app, but had disallowed notifications in Settings>Notifications>Better Habits...I may be back to bump to 5 stars... lemme use it first...Later same day...All my editorializing today has been after the daily reminders; I just saw a “2” badge on the app icon; I searched every menu option I can find and cannot find the source of the red 2 on my dock app icon...************************************************(Original Post)It is probably user error.I’ve had the app for two or more months. I thought I set reminders in the beginning, but I’ve never been reminded. Being reminded and tracking actual behavior is why I bought the app.This morning I was looking at the apps in my iPhone 7 Plus dock. The fourth one was a blue icon with what looked like a mountain range on it. I clicked it. It’s this app. I recalled getting it and the zero assistance provided and began this review. I’m not a newbie and also have a Series 3 Apple Watch. If the developer follows these reviews, I may find that I am up and running in no time. In that case, my revision may include 5 stars. I love the concept. Help me make it work.

Hi frankroshi, thank you for the detailed feedback. As I understand it, you were not getting reminders at first, but have solved that be turning on notifications. Also, you are unsure what the badges represent and can't find an explanation, is this correct? The badges represent the number of habits you have set to complete today that have not yet been completed. There is a "?" next to the 'Show badges' switch in the 'Settings' tab. If you tap that, it will explain it in more detail. Also, keep in mind that reminders will only trigger if you 'Have NOT' performed the habit for the day. The app is smart in knowing that if you have already completed the habit, you don't need reminded to do it. I hope this has been helpful in answering your questions. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me via the 'Send Feedback' button within the app. Cheers!
