Habitify - Habit Tracker

Fire

This app is great for keeping you accountable of your daily habits and also for enforcing new habits into your day

I really like this app. I’m basically running my life out of it now. I’m neurodivergent and I really hate routine. Previously I’d tried Tiimo but I couldn’t get into it for longer than a few weeks because it’s very time-consuming to plan out my whole day and then very awkward if I’m late with anything or plans need to change. It throws the whole day off. This app is very effortless. The reminders are very flexible and the motivation is very well-balanced: not too perfectionist, not too optimistic. I also find the record of tasks very helpful, and it gives me a happy to see everything I’ve done already. Only minor suggestions: it would be good if tasks could occasionally be deferred to the next day, if they’re not daily. Sometimes there are barriers to completion, like illness or weather, and if would be good to have the option to bump a task to another day rather than skip it entirely. Also, as someone else said, a little spray of confetti for certain key events (like getting a perfect day?) wouldn’t go amiss. It would be motivating to have that to aim for.

Simple to use once you get the hang of it. Lean minimal interface. No clutter. Good to help you focus on your habits!

As above, this app helped me realise how little i hydrated and allowed me to make the connection between my lack of water and lethargy. Fab app!

Used this app for a day or two before deciding it wasn’t for me, largely because of the subscription costs, but they’ve kept emailing me for MONTHS afterwards. I kept getting daily email notifications about my “habits” long after I’d stoped using the app - the “unsubscribe” link in those emails doesn’t work because you can’t switch off emails via a browser, so I had to re-download the app to get it to stop pestering me. I’m now getting regular marketing emails instead, despite hitting the “unsubscribe” link every time. Wish I’d never used this awful spam-ridden app: do not download it unless you want it constantly clogging your inbox.

Having come back to using this app. I find it not syncing correctly with Apple Watch. If I delete the app and install it syncs but I have to do this all the time. Please fix.

Despite deleting the app, out of the blue months later I’ve started getting daily emails on my habits. I then chose to delete my account but I’m still getting daily spam messages that contain all my data. I’ve messaged the developers but been ignored. If this review doesn’t catch their attention I’ll report them to the ICO for breaching GDPR.

Going to preface this review by saying that a good Apple Watch integration with complications was a must for me when picking a habit app. On the surface Habitify meets the requirement. Good UI, useful iOS and watch apps, complication. However the sync between the watch and phone and the complication update is atrocious. You complete something on the phone and it’s not there on the watch. You complete something the day before and the complication advances one step but does not reset after midnight, leaving you with one or more completed habits on the watch face that are not actually completed - shocking testing really. Have now switched to everyday, which was my runner up app, it’s not as nice but it’s at least functional.

Met up with a friend and went to local pub for lunch… very pleasant…:o)
