Habit — Daily Tracker 4+

Great concept, needs new algorithm.

So, between being a mom of two and having horrible anxiety, my memory is nonexistent. Adding depression in the mix I have a hard time getting things done. I have to admit, this app has helped a LOT. I have successfully used it daily for a month now and it helps me remember when I do certain things (as in showering) and making sure I feed and walk my dogs twice a day and don’t forget. I can honestly say this IS the best app for it.

BUT. I do not want to give it 5 stars because LOGICALLY, their formula doesn’t make ANY sense to me. The first day you complete a habit, it stays at zero. The next day, it goes to three. According to their page, it “takes 91 days to complete a habit”. But REALISTICALLY, if I start tracking how often I can continue a streak, the first time I do it, it’s 100%. If I do it again, the next day my streak would also be 100%. BUT, If I miss the 3rd day, I would no longer have 100%. SO, what I’m trying to say is that it would be SO much more motivating if it started at 100% because I would be much more likely to fight to keep my 100% than to see small numbers and have to take 3 whole months just to complete it.

First review of any app! TLDR: This App Rocks

This is my first time reviewing any app on the app store and I have used iPhones since the 4s. This really helped me nail the habit I’ve been wanting to pick up the most and thats journaling. Along side journaling, I also implemented drinking tea into my routine. I found that writing myself how long a habit takes to complete in the “Motivate Yourself” section helps a lot in motivating me to get that habit completed. I would suggest taking small habits and building off those. The design is really neat, showing off your percentages of how far along you are into your habit. Reaching a 100 percent is really nice, but I found that I actually have built the habit even before hitting 100 percent completion. Around the time I usually journal I can, almost everyday, remind myself before the app reminds me and I think that speaks volumes about the app. This app is a great tool to have, but like all tools you must know how to work with it. Luckily, this app is super intuitive and it’s easy to build steam with this app and get a few wins under your belt to feel accomplished as you see your percentage reach closer and closer to 100 percent. Definitely recommend this app, poke around with it before you dive in, get a feel then set your first habit you’d like to form, you won’t be disappointed! :)

Terrible - Customer service doesn’t respond

UPDATE: It has now been a YEAR and still no response from their team to any of the emails I have sent (to either email address provided in the process). Honestly the most scam like experience I’ve had with an app. Don’t buy this app - the app doesn’t do what they promise and their customer service is non-existent.

Original Review:
I was so excited about this app and quickly purchased the premium version because I was excited about how much it boasted. But after paying, there really wasn’t much of a difference between the paid and unpaid versions, and the one thing I was most excited about (widgets), didn’t work at all. Their FAQs in the app had some troubleshooting for this (obviously it’s a problem a lot of people have), but nothing they had in there worked. The final step was to contact their support team, so I did that too. I reached out through the email link in the app (their “Contact Us” link) and received an email saying the email address I sent my complaint to (that they provided in their own app) was no longer being used and I needed to email a different address (why they haven’t updated their contact us link in their own app I’m not sure) but that was frustrating. I have emailed the new email address twice now and still received no response almost a month later. Save yourself the headache and get a different app. Super frustrating experience.
