Today Habit tracker Reviews

I have no idea how the developers came along and blew Momentum, Strides, and Way of Life out of the water … but they did.

I’ve been using Way of Life for nearly half a decade now. Every once in a while I’d check out other trackers but they never compared. Momentum is too minimalistic (though I like their desktop sync, wink!) and Strides has a bubbly interface I can’t stand. Then here comes Today: sleek, customizable, effective, and innovative.

I left feedback for a couple of things I’d like to see, but seeing their response to prior comments and where TodayHabittracker is now, I have no doubt they’ll continue to improve TodayHabittracker and likely implement what I mentioned. Over the summer before getting my Oura ring for sleep tracking, I was using Pillow by the same developers as Today (but didn’t know it), and it’s equally great. In fact I gave Oura feedback to implement some of what Pillow has! It’s like this developer and their apps popped out of nowhere, and I’m happy to have discovered them.

Today is a fresh take on todo lists apps that makes getting things done fun and encouraging. With a very easy to use interface and a 'less is more' approach, Today has plenty of features inside its clean yet customizable design.

You can easily add a custom image to motivate you to want to complete the task. And, since every task is different, Today allows you to create custom trackers and modules to track your goals the way you see fit. TodayHabittracker also features the ability to determine how many times per day, week or month the task should be done as well as custom reminders for individual tasks.

As a photographer, I've tried just about every task app out there to get things done. The Today app is by far the best 'task' app for routine based things that you want to make habit.

I really love TodayHabittracker! I have ADHD and struggle with self motivation for simple every day tasks. This has helped make it more fun and actually helped me visualize have it building. I really enjoy my daily check-in‘s! I just was hoping for a little bit more customization in the cards within the habits themselves. I wish you could have custom color schemes, and track multiple things in one chart. Like being able to have an X and Y axis or just chart two different units on one chart. Also they mentioned to do lists in the description but really it’s just “milestones”. You can’t edit the tasks in milestones to become recurring or duplicate tasks. I was hoping to use them as a daily checklist for certain things, but they will not work for that. Ultimately I think with a little bit more personalization and expanding the cards in habits this could be even better than it already is - and it’s already great!

TodayHabittracker interface is wonderful. But TodayHabittracker is missing some essential features.
1. Viewing number of days on a monthly calendar. I don’t need fancy graph. Just want to see my days on the calendar. (This is available now. Thanks so much.)
2. Setting a habit to include every day of the week or month. I want daily checkins. Weekly only allows 6. Why not 7? Monthly only allows 25 not 30. These restricts are prohibitive. I don’t get it. (They added a daily option will allows all the days. That works but it does not reset like the weekly option. So I have to use daily in order to have seven checking per week.
3. I love the added cards. I chose to use the milestone card for a project. When I checked the first milestone as completed it was removed from the list. The correct action is to show a check mark. I went through the trouble to create the list so that I could see my progress. Please allow check marks instead of deleting.
4. Streaks. I’d like to know see my streaks. Not just how many days badge. If I performed an activity 21 times but not in a row then this is not a 21 day streak. A streak is number of consecutive days.

TodayHabittracker has potential. But has many small issues.

I purchased the pro version and I’m hoping the developers will continue to work out the problems. So far great job. TodayHabittracker is going to be awesome if they continue on the path their on.

Thank you for TodayHabittracker and your continued support.

I use the premium version and have rated TodayHabittracker before. Last time I said the only thing missing was notification badges, those little red numbers that stay on TodayHabittracker icon and remind you to check things off at some point. I was told then that an update with that feature was “going to be released in a few days.” Still hasn’t happened, and now my notifications have stopped altogether - I haven’t gotten any reminders in the last 5 days, even though I have multiple reminders set up every day.

I’ve had similar issues with their other app, Pillow - been told they were going to release pretty basic features “in a few days” that then never happened. I didn’t realize it was the same developer until today, but now it’s making sense. I “returned” and got a refund for the premium version of Pillow. Not really sure what to think about apps from this developer anymore, but I hope the Today reminders issue gets fixed soon. It’s a beautiful app and I hate to have wasted my money.

I love TodayHabittracker. It has multiple features on it that allows me to track customized habits and also allows me to keep a journal of my progress for each habit. I really like how it has facilitated my progress that I have made so far. YOU DO HAVE TO PAY $5 FOR THE FULL FEATURES, but what I like about TodayHabittracker is that the developers behind it are honest and not greedy. They are upfront about all of the charges and it’s only a one-time fee and then all of the features are unlocked permanently. I really feel as if it’s worth the $5 because it helps me to keep all of my progress organized in one place, I love the aesthetics which don’t not only look good, but it’s also very functional as well.
The only thing I would suggest is a chart to visualize the check in data but that’s about it. 👍👍👍

I’ve been using TodayHabittracker for a couple months now, and for me I think the fact that it’s now become an integral part of my life speaks a lot on how I feel about TodayHabittracker. Ive recommended it to a bunch of friends too because i think it’s one of the best habit making apps out there. One suggestion for the UX Designer for TodayHabittracker. It would be cool to have an extra button that I can click if I did more than I was supposed to do. I think it would be very rewarding to see that I went above and beyond what I planned on doing. Also, the swipe left to complete a habit feature wasn’t apparent to me for the longest time. I hated having to go into my phone to say I completed my task because of that. Is there a way to make that more apparent? Anyways, kudos to the designers/developers!!

Simple functionality but its well executed. The cover pictures for each habit is a fine idea but as other reviewers have mentioned, the selection is very limited and more importantly in notifications it often shows the wrong picture different from what you've selected. Hopefully this is addressed in a future update. Also when I open TodayHabittracker it just takes you to the last habit that was open which is usually exactly what you don't need since you just completed it and are probably looking to check in a different habit. Starting at the homescreen with the list of habits or having a way to choose your homescreen would be helpful. All in all a nice clean app that does its job well. Also very much appreciate the one time payment model rather than a ridiculous subscription plan. Keep it up!

I absolutely love TodayHabittracker. It allows me to integrate a lot of my daily and weekly to do’s. The UI is very aesthetically pleasing, and I’m overall pleased with TodayHabittracker . My only question is why can’t I customize the complication into my watch face? When I go to customize my watch face, TodayHabittracker is unavailable for some reason. Due to the frequent use of TodayHabittracker , I would prefer to have access to the complication from my watch face. This is my only issue. Can you please help me with this?

Update:
My apologies.. I see that the complication is available, but only on certain watch faces.
So other than that... I love TodayHabittracker!!!!😊

Update: I paid for the full version, now it is asking me to pay AGAIN. (Update: I found the fix for this in Settings > Restore Purchases)

I was looking for an app to track multiple aspects of each of my long term goals. This is the only app that was able to provide what I needed, and TodayHabittracker looks phenomenal! I love that you are able to add pictures for motivation. The tracking cards for each goal are ingenious! They are so easy to use, simple to read, and you only add the ones you want. It also syncs with the Apple Health App. What more could you need!? There are a few glitches here and there (no way to exit the keyboard when entering some values) but I can tell that these are improving. That is the only reason for the 4 stars. *thumbs up*

My daily reading and drinking habits have actually changed thanks to using Today! I love using Today to track several daily and weekly habits — it’s beautiful, fast to enter habits, and has all the necessary features you could want from a habit tracker.

Except: I wish the “Custom Bar Chart” widget could simply graph the number of checkins you have each day, automatically. (It doesn’t seem to do this — if it does, please correct me!) I find myself having to check in five times, and then the next day go to the bar chart, long press, click “enter custom value,” and enter 5 in order to see a chart of my checkins. It would be so simple and useful to make a chart that automatically plots your checkins!

Best habit tracking app I’ve found. As a super visual person, being able to set cover photos - and having those show up for reminders - has been game changing for keeping me motivated and on track. Just two changes I’d ask for:

1. Please include a way to send / sync “Journal” card entries with Evernote or Google Docs. 📝 Love the journal feature! But with longer entries (or several short ones), it’s hard to review past entries / get an overview. (For context: i use the journal cards to add notes about workouts and books read)

2. Please make it easier to add *multiple* check-ins from a habit “title” screen. ✅✅ For instance, meditation and medication are both things I do AM and PM. I wish I could just tap to check in quickly - as with other habits. But instead I’m taken to an overlay, where I then have to move to a small icon the bottom of the screen to check in. A small UI adjustment would make this much easier to use. Especially when you consider that this interaction is getting more use than the “default” because of multiple check-ins.

Many thanks to the dev team! 🖤

Gorgeous design and fun customizability. I’ve been using it on and off for over a year now, but have found some key features (like the counting cards) just don’t work, which throws off some kinds of habit counting completely. Crashes have been ironed out and are rare now, but overall response time to bugs is slow and followup nonexistent. For an app that’s been around this long, and should be polished at least on its core functionality, it seems rough around the edges. As long as you mostly use the checkin function and don’t depend on it for more detailed records/counts (eg, using the features to count number of goals scored in a year, number of books read, etc) you will likely have few complaints.

Great app but I don’t think it is supported anymore. I love how it has pictures to the reminders that helps me a lot. Very few do this even though TodayHabittracker can sometimes lose the picture. I hope they come back and dart support it to this again but I think it probably going the way of a lot of apps that are one time purchase apps. Dropping support for apps you pay one time for a subscription based app. Even then I would consider that for TodayHabittracker as it is so good but they would have to update it regularly to keep me around and they haven’t done that with this one. Still a great app.

There isn’t any way to delete check-ins if you accidentally enter the wrong information, and TodayHabittracker doesn’t allow backdated entries. This is a problem for me because I’m just starting to get into the habit of tracking my habits, so sometimes I forget to enter my check-ins until the next day and sometimes I accidentally tap the wrong date. The free version also only allows you to enter 3 habits to track. I’m not willing to pay for an app as simple as this, so I can’t really say I’m all that impressed. The interface is clean and easy to use. The backgrounds are a nice touch. But the functionality still needs work, and TodayHabittracker is going to have to wow me a whole lot more before I’m willing to pay for it.

The basic version of TodayHabittracker only allows you to track three habits, which work as advertised until about a year or so in; if you have a habit you track on a daily basis TodayHabittracker will crash as soon as you try to add a day to it, and you have to close out TodayHabittracker and reopen to add each individual day. Say for instance you haven’t been keeping up with a habit on TodayHabittracker and you decide to update a week’s worth of progress at once. You’d have to open, add a single day, then close TodayHabittracker 7 times in order to make those changes. I’ve stopped tracking one of my habits because it isn’t worth the effort to do so. If they fix this error it’d be fine but until then it’s a nuisance to use in the long term

I have been using Today for several months on the Apple Watch (series 3) and it had become absolutely essential to my daily routine - habit tracking is important to me and I loved the capabilities of TodayHabittracker and the watch integration.

Unfortunately, since the update to WatchOS 5, TodayHabittracker now crashes constantly and has trouble syncing with my phone. It’s been completely unreliable and nearly impossible to use since the update, but I keep it installed because of how much I loved it before.

I’m going to give it a little more time hoping for a fix, but if the glitches stay much longer I’m going to find a replacement. I hope I don’t gave to go back to my tried & true habit-tracking-on-paper method.

[update] I am still loving TodayHabittracker. Thank you!

[update] Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough developer response! I really appreciate it! That all makes sense. Didn't realize HealthKit was the limitation! (Please, Apple, fix this! Developers shouldn't suffer here - and users can choose to opt out anyway!)

Thanks again! Love TodayHabittracker so far! Glad to support you with a premium purchase! (Although, I always prefer up-front purchase so I can share apps with my husband. In-app purchases don't work with family sharing. :( )

- old review follows -

I am confused. Why would you have icloud storage as a premium setting - but not offer an ipad option? I can't even find TodayHabittracker in TodayHabittracker store on my ipad - despite switching between ipad only and iphone only. I can't even find it when I search for neybox. Given the simplicity of TodayHabittracker (which is great) it shouldn't take that much to offer an ipad option. Even instagram lets me have a 2x zoom app. :(

TodayHabittracker works fantastic, for starters, which is why I’m giving it 5 starts. Though the only issue I’m having is I am unable to see my persistence and other valuable charts when clicking on the little person icon. Im currently tracking 6 habits and when I go to click the icon it freezes TodayHabittracker and closes out after a minute or unless I close it myself. I was able to see those valuable charts when I was tracking about 4 habits then as I added more it just started freezing completely.

I love TodayHabittracker. It's definitely the best habit tracking app out there today and I've tried them all!

The most recent update, however, appears to have caused a bunch of glitches in the iOs widget (that's my main interaction with TodayHabittracker ). The issues are listed below:
-when I click the check mark on a task I have set to do five days per week, the widget blanks out then presents an error that says "Unable to load". Sometimes this completes the task and sometimes it doesn't register
-Tasks that are of the type "X times per week" should be highlighted green when they have been competed at least once that day. I find myself forgetting whether I already checked off that item today so it would be helpful to know via the widget whether it's complete
-It would be nice to be able to skip via the widget
-Nice to have: A way to see your current streak within the widget

Otherwise I love TodayHabittracker and all the integrations. Looking forward to what else you guys have coming!
