Habitify - Habit Tracker

Almost perfect

I purchased the app for a streamlined basic habit former and tracker. It has been reliable for the past year and linked well with ical. The notifications are excellent and I like the clean presentation. However, one area for improvement is the flexibility of the app. It would be useful to have a "reschedule" single swipe function to move a habit to another date when life gets in the way. For example, I was called into work to cover for a sick colleague and wanted to catch up on my reading goal of 10 pages a day, but could not load the habit onto a Saturday when I had time to read 30 pages - and did. Instead, I needed to reverse and tick the habit on the previous days which did not give a true picture of how the habit had played out in reality. I found that the weekly habits such as gym time (3 times a week) cannot easily be moved to another day if you miss a session. You can only tick completed, fail, or log progress or go into settings and change the daily schedule permanently. So on weeks where my work shifts changed, I would need to go back to Tuesday for a gym session completed on Thurs. Maybe there is an easy work around for all of this, but I could not see it. So a good all round app with reliable reminders but a bit inflexible at times.

Breaking up lists based on time of day is the best thing about Habitify. I’m able to be comprehensive about the many healthy habits I maintain (and easily build on with Habitify) whilst being able to prioritise based on time of day without being overwhelmed by the gigantic list. But I do wish time based reminders could be set for individual days of the week and wish that location based reminders only alerted me on the days that the habit is set. Best habit app on the app store (at least for me).

Suddenly receiving emails on my “progress” daily and doesn’t have a button to unsubscribe. Forces you to download the app to do so. Poor tactic.

Do not install. They send you spam even if you delete your account.

Habitify used to be easy to navigate, was predictable, my habits status easy synchronised between iPhone, iPad and MacBook with use of my iCloud account. Loved it! However, my new iPhone with Habitify new version doesn’t synchronise with Habitify on my other devices anymore.

The app is supposed to update itself when it is not open and give you a badge notification when a habit needs to be completed but it does not. You have to open the app and navigate to today on the calendar and exit the app in order to the app to realise that it needs to give you a badge notification for the habits you need to complete for today. Please fix this.

Quite a good habit tracker. However I am disappointed that the Apple Watch complication on the watch face does not seem to work. Forever states there is 1/1 habit complete although tapping this and opening the app reveals 0/3 habits completed.

Love the clean UI and it has all the features that I need. Support is fantastic, they listen and respond quickly. You can tell the developer cares about the app and continuously releases improvements. Totally worth the subscription IMO, lifetime subscription is a bargain.

Pleased to see most recent update is working well. Look forward to this App getting back to what it was - reliable, easy to use, great stats, versatile and very aesthetically pleasing.
