Software Reviews and Criticism

  Great idea but not worth premium

  I I think it’s a great app but completely not worth the cost. There are other free apps that do the same thing. The company really should look into other services and allow people to use the free version of the app for as many goals as they want to set and that would make me more likely to purchase the premium package. But where it’s at right now they are charging to do pretty much the same thing that Microsoft reminders do. I do want to make it clear that I was not looking for something for nothing. I was searching for an app like this with the intent of purchasing a premium version. But I do not feel that the services that they are charging for are worth the payment they should offer free services for free such as setting the goals setting the times and setting reminders. I think that they could look into some more creative things to offer their clients that would propel them and influence them to buy the premium version. If they revamp their style and start charging for their services I would definitely consider subscribing to their service but until then I’m going to continue to getting the things that they charge for free from the apps that I currently have on my phone.

  Really enjoying it so far

  After trying a couple of habit tracker apps, I’ve landed on Habitify and it’s my favorite of the bunch. I find it to be clean, pretty intuitive, works on both iPhone and iPad (rather than the zoomed view on iPad which I don’t like), syncs nicely, and just appeals to me aesthetically more than the others I’ve tried. I don’t mind the lack of color coding, I usually find that to be kind of annoying/not useful. My only qualm at the moment is that some of my habits only need to be completed a certain number of times per week or once per week, but it only counts a day as “complete” if you do all of your tasks, including the ones that don’t need to be completed that day. I’m totally being petty but I haven’t gotten any “complete” days because of this even though I did all my -daily- tasks plus one or two weekly tasks, and dang it I want to get a complete day! :) It could be that there’s a setting I’m missing somewhere that will change that. In any case, it’s a great app, does all I need it to do in an appealing way, and will be using it for all my habit tracking needs!

  Money Grab

  The app works fine, but you only get three habits to track and then it asks you for money. I expected it to cost somewhere in the ballpark of 5-10 dollars for the whole program which is more than reasonable for what it is, but they want an annual fee of $25! Alternatively you can buy the entire program for a one time fee of $50 or pay a monthly fee of $5 (which again should be a one time cost for the entire program). Let's be clear here; this is an app that sends reminders to you and gives you a virtual high five when you've accomplished your task. That's it. Nothing fancy about any of it. The interface is nice, but is it worth $50? Absolutely not. There are over 200 ratings on this app; if hypothetically 200 people liked the program enough to spend 10 dollars on it that would mean the programmers would have made somwhere around $20,000 dollars and I can guarantee you that it took a fraction of that to actually make this thing. The price point on this program is absoletely ludicrous, and it would appear the main habit the developers wish to instill in users is the one that puts money into their (devs) pockets. Hard pass from me.

  Great app - not subscription based

  Tried others however i was not willing to go the subscription way. I tried this and other apps and eventually came back to this one. Gladly paid the one time in app purchase. The app itself is clean and simplistic (in a good way). Great companion Microsoft Watch app too!! Only suggestion is to be able to go into a habit and edit it for just one day or a couple of days. For example, I have one habit to do morning back stretches after waking up in the morning and I have a Habitify reminder set at 6:45 am every weekday. I would like to change it to 7:30 am on the weekends but unless I missed something, there is no way to edit the current habit to accomplish this. It seems that you would have to creat a new habit (for weekend days only) and set the reminder for a later time.
