“I encounter at least 12 separate bugs in your apps core functionality every time I use it (4 times a week). I have the latest iOS on both watch and a brand new iPhone 17 pro max. I am not going to enumerate these bugs because you either already know them/ have been ignoring them for literally years or you really don’t deserve to know them because your company deserves to end permanently.

“The app itself is nice. Simple interface, easy to use, does what I want it to do (count and keep track of things I’ve done for the day). I do wish there were more stats such as the average of how often things happen on each day of the week, or if two items are correlated. But the purchasing/subscription is a problem. $30 annually for this? It counts things. 30 bucks. Really? Luckily, I first found…”Tally: The Anything Tracker
“Reached out to the developer. Responses are never helpful, and often just a single sentence stating that it will be in a future update but it never is. Examples: When I want to review the notes for a habit that I scheduled for the next day, the app thinks that I’m trying to confirm that the habit is completed. Why won’t the app allow you to see your notes without it thinking that you are confirm…”Habit Tracker
“I bet that I'm using the free version of the app. Up until recently there was no nag screen that came up after you completed your things. However, a recent version of the app has started to show a nag screen when you complete your activities. I completely respect that the app developer wants to make money. But the nag screen is new, and remarkably annoying. For years I've been using the free ve…”Strides: Habit Tracker + Goals
“I paid for the gold subscription thanks to the rich database of info, but the app is very unpolished. Currently 2 things that are extremely annoying to me are (1) unless I give the app full access to my photo library, it prompts me to adjust the permissions every time I access the camera to use the photo log feature and (2) ever few seconds the entire app screen flashes and becomes unavailable for…”Cronometer: Calorie Counter
“There’s one issue with this app that is unbelievably tedious and frustrating. At random times, the app will only work if I’m on Wi-Fi. Other times, it will only work if Wi-Fi is turned off. I’ve learned to live with that part, even though it makes no sense. The real problem is when the app decides to work with neither. When that happens, my only option is to restart my phone. But if I restart my p…”Cronometer: Calorie Counter
“i love the app but i literally can't even track all of my habits without having 15 ads in a row. it's a bit excessive when i spend more time looking at ads in an app than i do actually using it. also a lot of people keep talking about how they can't figure out a lot of stuff so a better tutorial like how to delete and add and edit the habits would be nice. thanks! i really like this app it just ne…”Habit Rabbit: Habit Tracker
