    Don’t download this app — This app has a hard paywall, so you need to pay 40$ to use it for 1 year. There are no free versions

  • Me+ Lifestyle Routine3star· Jul 15, 2026

    It’s okay — I really liked this app, but I don’t think it suits people with very busy schedules. Bc it Doesn’t let you have unlimited things. So in general, I wasn’t a huge fan of this app.

    what happened to this app? — this app used to be my favorite to use! School then started up again and I stopped using it for about two months and then I got a new phone and reinstalled it and I was so disappointed with the new version! It used to be unlimited planning for free plus extra perks but now you can only plan like five things and when you try to plan more or even a day ahead, it tries to

    Bait and Switch — I bought the premium version year ago and when they updated I lost everything. I even backed up to the cloud but they would not restore my purchase so I lost years of data. Put these guys in jail.

    Not syncing — I originally set all my habits on my iPad and then it synced up perfectly with my phone. I then recently got a new iPad and tried several times to sync it with my phone. I tried everything. All iCloud settings are enabled. I googled and double checked everything but it is still blank on my iPad. How do I get this to sync on my iPad???

    Buggy and no support — I tried this app for a day during the trial period and liked it enough to purchase a one-year subscription. Unfortunately, shortly after subscribing, the app became unstable. It frequently logs me out, the widgets have never worked (they appear blank), and Apple Health syncing stopped working after the first day. I contacted support and initially received a quick response w

  • Habit Tracker2star· Sep 3, 2026

    Nice but a few drawbacks — The family share doesn’t work. Paid for family premium access, followed the directions on both Google and the customer service but still didn’t work. For personal use I do enjoy the app. But the whole reason for getting it was to be able to do a 75 soft challenge with family.

    Slow, Glitchy App — This app was one of the best habit trackers, but now is just glitchy and slow. It frequently has UI lag and doesn’t respond to user input. And worst of all, I can’t export my data to move to another app because it hangs on the CSV export. I’ve emailed support twice and received no response. I decided to not renew this year. Once a great app, now slow and poorly supported. Recom

How markets are ranked

We give each market a mark out of 100 for seven things (nobody's fixed it 20 · above the norm 15 · how angry 10 · room to build 15 · room to enter 15 · getting bigger 20 · willingness to pay 5). Then we multiply the marks together. We do not average them.

Averaging lets a market hide one bad problem behind good numbers. Multiplying means one bad mark pulls the whole score down. That is the point. A market you cannot win is still a market you cannot win, however badly it is served.

Each mark has a fixed rule. Nobody’s fixed it and willingness to pay are plain shares. Above the norm maxes out at 4 times the store’s usual rate. How angry runs from star3.0 down to star1.5. Room to enter is what the biggest app does not own. Getting bigger hits 100 at 10% growth. Room to build is different. It is a sweet spot, not a size. A market can be too small to live on, or too big to break into.

If we cannot count something, we leave it out. We never guess it. The score only sorts this list. Every other number you see on a market is counted.

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,728 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
