HabitShare - Habit Tracker Reviews

by IvansBet

I like the idea what HabitShare is trying to do but it’s very laggy, buggy and not user friendly. It requires you to create an account and sign in, then it tries to sync with servers every time you open HabitShare , often it shows yesterday and doesn’t show today’s date. Sometimes you enter your accomplishments and HabitShare wouldn’t show it the next day until it sync with servers (takes a few minutes). The notifications are basic and don’t support any 3D shortcuts. Notifications remind you to complete goals that you already completed... Overall, my impression after using HabitShare is that it’s very messy.

I’ve been using HabitShare for a number of weeks and find the limitation on the number of characters/words one is permitted to use when creating a reminder to be too limiting, other Habit/Remind apps permit far more text.

Also, the posted AppStore images make it appear that reminder scheduling yields a color coded on/off schedule, I’ve never seen that on my iPhone, and the lack of it does make it hard to setup scheduling with any confidence.

So, some minor tweaks to this otherwise nice app would really make it soar. Thank you.

I’ve been very happy with HabitShare and how I’ve been able to not only track my progress towards my goals, but also be accountable to someone else which has done more to motivate me to stay on track. However, HabitShare has stoped working after updating to iOS13. HabitShare crashes as soon as I open it. I’m assuming this is because the developer hasn’t developed a new update to HabitShare that is compatible with iOS13.

I couldn’t find a way to reach developer support. So if you, the developer can please update this for iOS13, I’d love to keep using HabitShare. Until then, I can’t.

I don't really right reviews to app, I think this is my first one, but I really feel this is such a great app in execution and design that I wanted to write one.

It would be enough that HabitShare have a slick interface for keeping track of goals and streaks for completing them, as do competitors. Where HabitShare really excels is the sharing of these goals potentially with friends, mentors, coaches, etc. Not only is this engineered well, this aspects provides a very real and natural reason to continue trying to achieve a goal - that is, as not to let down others. With other habit apps, if you miss your goal say a week in a row, no one knows and you can grow to go easy on yourself. Whereas here, you have the encouragement and positive pressure to push ahead.

Get HabitShare. Get your friends to get HabitShare. And all you go reach your goals!

I love HabitShare. It really helps with the mindset of not “breaking the chain.” Using a friend to keep me accountable is awesome and sending each other check-in reminders helps us both.

The one thing I wish this had was a way to organize your habits into sections (say, morning and evening habits). I think it would help keep the screen from being too crowded.

I’m really happy with HabitShare! It’s keeping me accountable but also helping me feel really good about sticking with my habits. I feel very proud when I get to check that mark off. And it gives me the data I need to look back and see how I’m doing. It’s super easy to use and share with friends. So glad I found it! I almost never write reviews for apps but this one was worth it.

So intuitive, and easy to get ramped right away! I’ve I love how you can add multille reminders for the same habit. Especially handy for people like me that have a tendency to hit the snooze button and actually HabitShare feels like a to-do list with an alarm clock. Since you have the flexibility to move around habits by order of day, you always know what you could be doing to be the best you set out to be. Kind of like a Trello + Alarm clock + Tracking, all in 1! 😅🥇

I feel much more focused throughout the day with a clear understanding of what to do next. It’s the type of clarity I typically only felt throughout my work-day and I’m excited to have a similar level of growth and productivity at home. Thanks this app!

Few suggestions:
- ability to set the Habit frequency (# per week) to a negative number. This way, each day you don’t do something is a success (Eg. smoke, drink, hit snooze!).
- Id love to be able to visualize my habit list on my google calendar. I’ve done this on my own and it’s really helped my productivity to visualize time-blocks for habits!

I use HabitShare daily and love it. I have shared it with friends doing a mindfulness/life coaching group that have found it extremely useful as well. Being able to make something done, not done, not measured AND write a note is different that other apps I’ve tried. The only thing that would make it better is being able to have it on my MacBook as well.

HabitShare is so simple and straightforward. No crazy graphics or systems, just a success/fail option (and a skip!) for each habit and a section to record notes. I love that you get a weekly view and a monthly view that is color coordinated. It will also track your consistency for each habit and your consistency for all of your habits combined.

Great app, super happy and satisfied!

I adore HabitShare! I like everything about it’s set up, allowing me to create habits and track them daily or a certain number of days per week, or even specific days of the week. I love that I can share accountability with family and friends. It’s been super helpful in my small coaching practice. Clients get accountability!

1 request- something glitchy about the ability to rearrange the habits. It used to work fine, but now it doesn’t.

Before convincing my friends to use HabitShare , I was hooked. Seeing my progress in changing my habits has been so inspiring. The functionality (comments, reminders, frequency, etc.) work well for me. I know that no app would work if I wasn’t motivated, but the visual display of my progress only encourages me more. I’ve roped 4 friends into using HabitShare , and we’re now accountabili-buddies even though we don’t see each other for weeks at a time.

HabitShare is straightforward and doesn’t distract with a bunch of extra features— so you can focus on your goals, not HabitShare . It’s free and you can customize your habits so it’s flexible to your needs! I have used it for years now and have gotten many friends to start using it too. Highly recommend trying this out before any other habit apps.

When I was a kid, I had a problem wetting the bed. The doctors tried everything: medicine, withholding water after 6:00 pm, having my mother wake me up at midnight to go, and many other unsuccessful remedies.

Here’s how I beat it: the probably 15th doctor (yes I exaggerate) we went to said, “Mom, it’s simple. Make a monthly calendar on one sheet of green construction paper. Get yourself some gold stars.” But I paraphrase.

We were to put gold stars on the days I woke up dry. That was it. I think it took 2-3 weeks, and I never wet the bed again. Seeing those stars made me want SO MUCH to have gold stars every day!

Long story short: 40 years later, here comes simple, brilliant this app. It’s the digital equivalent of that calendar drawn in crayon on green construction paper. It will help make my life better. I still have a bad habit or two.

Good job.

My family and I were looking for an app for accountability tracking. They looked at a couple others and decided this one was the best (note : I did not try others). I love that it is free, you can share your tasks with others, and you can set how many times / week you want to do a task.
Very easy to use.

I think the only suggestion I have is that there be an option to have the weekly view remained fixed (I.e Sunday - Saturday) versus rotating always viewing the last 7 days

Shoutout to the developer for developing this wonderful app and making it free. You are awesome. I was searching for an app to track my workouts where I can take notes and mark days for different workouts with reps and weight count. HabitShare gives me what I wanted. Believe me I tried several other app and spent almost a day to find one that satisfies my need and I'm glad I stumbled upon this one. This is on my main screen now and will stay that way for ever. Thanks once again.

My daughters, brother and I wanted to start the new year off right with exercising and eating right. We felt the best way was to hold each other accountable. Since we live in 4 different states (FL, KS, CA, and AK) in person was not an option. HabitShare is great for sharing habits with each other and recording thoughts as well as sending encouragement. You can even add personal habits that you don’t want to share. I can’t think of any improvement at this time. The best part of HabitShare is that it’s free :). Thank you.

I have been using various apps and methods to track habits to increase efficiency and productivity for myself, my company, and my business partners. By far this is the best one ever. Not only are my habits more consistent, it is also a lot more accurate with being able to add comments. It's also a lot more honest with keeping accountability with my partners.

I definitely would like to see more features, maybe some kind of reward aspect or being able to send a mass message to everyone, or even create groups.

Keep up the good work!

I was first introduced to HabitShare by my western civ teacher and I am so glad I have found it. It is an incredibly powerful tool to build fraternity and honesty. You can use HabitShare for anything from laying off the snacks to trying to work out more or even to share when you fall in more serious areas of life. Bringing your habits into the light by sharing them with friends is incredibly effective. If there is something in your life that’s dark, something you struggle with, then find your best friend and use HabitShare together. Or you could simply use HabitShare to lose 5 pounds. :)

I found HabitShare when a colleague and I decided to keep each other accountable for certain habits we wanted to develop. I’ve used other habit tracking apps before, but the additional social/sharing aspect of this particular app is a game-changer. Having someone check in on me when I fall of the horse has been very motivating, as is being able to see my overall habit percent number get gradually higher as I make a stronger commitment to my habits (again, having fallen off the horse for awhile). Thank you this app developers, for this simple yet effective tool! I have been singing your praises to people in person and several friends of mine have downloaded it now, too!

I just happened past HabitShare and I’d try it out. I have had it for just over 3 months. At first I thought it was just a check in habit app but then when I added an accountability partner on here it changed my life. We have kept each other honest and striving for better. When we fail on a day we can use the messenger to support each other. We are always aiming for an all green week. Thank you for HabitShare.

I just started using HabitShare and I already love it. Easy to use and the simple interface allows me to focus on my habits rather than ads and other nonsense. I do have one question for the developers though— do you guys have a public api for developers? I work on a data visualizations and analytics platform and I’d love to stream my data to it. Thanks for the sweet app! Looking forward to making better habits :)
