HabitMinder • Habit Tracker Reviews

by Junebash

It was working great until it stopped tracking my mindful minutes and exercise. Double checked permissions and all was working well. Started a free premium trial to see if I could sync, uninstall, reinstall, and see if that helped. Upon reinstall it asked me to add habits, so I assumed the sync failed. No biggie. I added meditation. Then the old habits reappeared. At this point it crashed. I’m guessing perhaps because there were now two habits tracking from Mindful Minutes in Apple Health. I now cannot open HabitMinderHabitTracker without it crashing. I can’t delete the data in my account to start over. I can’t contact support through HabitMinderHabitTracker because I cannot open HabitMinderHabitTracker . Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing. HabitMinderHabitTracker is unusable. Very disappointing.

This is a great app! It’s unobtrusive, easy to use and gives you just the amount of information you need to know how well you’re coming along with building a habit. The only problem is that you’re only able to track three habits before tell you that it wants to charge you on a MONTHLY basis. Effective app or not and no matter how much these app developers keep trying to push this monthly fee structure, HabitMinderHabitTracker isn’t one that justifies a bill on a monthly basis! Should consider either ads or allowing customers to buy it outright. This monthly subscription is DEFINITELY what keeps me from going any further and looking for another app.

In one of your answers to a review you mentioned a one-time purchase of 3.99, however I cannot see that option. Further, while the description says it supports Family sharing, there is no option to buy HabitMinderHabitTracker , only to make in-app purchase; and you developers of course know that in-app purchases cannot be shared in a family. So, there is no reason for you to even mention family sharing as for free apps it makes no sense, while for in-app purchases it does not work. So “family sharing” HabitMinderHabitTracker is equivalent to just installing it from HabitMinderHabitTracker Store on another device. This also means that with the current prices to have it fully functional on 3 devices means paying $30! I would not actually mind buying HabitMinderHabitTracker for $10 from HabitMinderHabitTracker store, and sharing it among 3 devices, or installing 3 apps and making in-app purchases of 3*3.99, but not $30.

HabitMinderHabitTracker does almost everything right. There are some key omissions and frustrations though

- Summary view mostly used success rate. So, if your goal is to sleep 8 hours a day and you’ve been sleeping for 7 hours for the past week, the summary shows 0%. This works for some habits but not all. I want to see the progress I’m making. Tracking the average value or something would be helpful. Right now, the only thing that helps me is the completion rate chart that shows how close I’m getting to my goal. Please add a new separate view for completion rate and summary statistics based on the actual values rather than just successes? Or a toggle. Anything.
- it’s not possible to reduce the values from the previous day. For example, change 16 oz water intake to 8 oz. Please add a negative value option as well.
- If you go back to the previous day and click undo button, values from today are affected. This is confusing.
- When you open exercise habit and quick add 5 mins and close the habit, sometimes it automatically adds extra minutes to it. I think it also happens occasionally if you don’t add any mins too iirc.

HabitMinderHabitTracker has potential and I’ll update my review as HabitMinderHabitTracker gets more updates.

Notifications haven’t been working correctly for certain Habits. For example, Hydrate: multiple times throughout the day are set, but I’m only receiving the first notification for that day (I.e. 9am, 10am, 11am all set as alerts but only receive 1 notification @ 9am). I used to receive each notification at the set time until the goal (65oz) was completed so I’m assuming it’s just a bug.

Other than that HabitMinderHabitTracker is great. Helpful logging for each habit and easy access options when receiving notifications that you don’t even have to launch HabitMinderHabitTracker . Hopefully once the multiple notifications are fixed for certain habits the developers will receive the 5 stars they’re capable of :)

If you have a habit set up to happen a certain number of times each week, your day tallies will take a hit.
For example, if I have a habit to workout 3x a week, this habit will count against my success scores if they’re not completed. If I don’t workout Monday or Tuesday, those days are marked as incomplete even though I have the rest of the week to get those 3 workouts in.
I wrote support( great response time) and it was recommended I “Skip” those habits on those days. Unfortunately it skips that task for the week. If I want to I unskip the work out and make it available to do on Wednesday, it changes the numbers for Monday and Tuesday and looks like I failed to work out. Still no perfect completion score if you had a perfect day.

FINALLY a habit app thats not overpriced or over complicated! It’s sleek design, simplicity and ease make this an app I actually use! I’ve tried many different to-do /habit / organizing apps and this does all 3 (if you choose to use it that way- I just list each to-do item as a habit). I’ve even tried paying for one of the fancy subscription-based habit apps that started out great, but quickly became more overwhelming than helpful, not to mention a pain to navigate due to so much extra stuff I didn’t need or want. The whole point of a habit app is to simplify life, not become an additional chore! Well thank goodness for HabitMinder! So glad I found HabitMinderHabitTracker and gave it a try. My only (small) gripe is that the title for each task/habit is limited to very few characters. I’d like to be able to add more specific titles to each thing OR an optional space to add short explanation for each thing (maybe under the title or at the top when you open each habit). For example, I want to pray and meditate more, which would be nice to combine as one habit. Currently I have them listed as separate habits because there’s not enough room to write “meditate in AM / pray in PM” as the title. Other than that I really love HabitMinderHabitTracker!! If it was just a tinyyy bit more flexible in how you can customize each habit, I’d give it 5+ stars.

HabitMinderHabitTracker is amazing but needs some work.
1. The “skip” function doesn’t seem to make very much sense. It’s great that it allows you to skip habits but I wish it was a bit smarter. For example, let’s say youve set to go to the gym 3x per week, on the days that you “skip” the skip function should count that and then reset the next day unless you skip it. But it shouldn’t allow you skip more than 4 days because you set to go to the gym 3x.

2. On habits that you set x number of times per week, I wish the habit would grey out after you’ve hit your goal for the week. Instead it just shows up the next day making you feel like you haven’t accomplished your weekly goal!. With graying it out, it’s still there if you want to complete it but at that point it would be clear that you’re doing extra. It’s disheartening to complete your weekly goal and then the next day it shows up again and your whole day will be marked as incomplete if you didn’t finish that task even though you’ve reached your goal.

3. HabitMinderHabitTracker seems to get stuck on the previous day and for some reason still lets you mark habits in the past as complete. I think the whole idea of habit forming is that you shouldn’t be able to go back to the past but keep moving forward. Also it’s a bit confusing when it opens on “yesterday”

Other than these things I love HabitMinderHabitTracker and hope it improves!

Habit apps are a crowded marketplace, and this one really stands out to me. Gorgeous design that is very simple and easy on the eyes, but still very flexible. They found the right balance. It’s engaging and fun to check things off (might as well use the addictiveness of technology to help your productivity :) Their hydration app is equally fantastic. Both have earned a permanent spot in my “Today” view...assuming a few things are in the works.

1. Mac app - visibility and management of tasks/habits is really only viable if you can access them (and synced notifications) from any device.

2. The notification text is a bit odd. I wish these would just contain the habit text and nothing else. They often appear as verbose sentences that you have to read. For me this affects the fluidity of use.

3. The Today widget could be enhanced by only showing remaining habits at the top.

4. Ability both to skip habits or mark as failed would be nice.

Items 2–4 are all ways of helping you see only what you need to see. The “at a glance” nature of HabitMinderHabitTracker isn’t quite there yet.

The comments seem to indicate that more integration with multiple devices is forthcoming. Lack of this functionality is normally a dealbreaker for me, but I’m using this on my phone only for the moment because HabitMinderHabitTracker is just that good. At whatever point these become more integrated in the ecosystem, this and WaterMinder will unquestionably be 5 star software.

Please believe me when I say I have tried EVERY habit tracking app out there. All of them had some of the functions I needed, but this one has them ALL and even some I hadn’t though of. I’m so thankful HabitMinderHabitTracker is offered as a one time purchase, because otherwise I simply wouldn’t not use it. Beyond that the ability to customize complications for the Apple Watch is a feature above and beyond anything I expect from any app. HabitMinderHabitTracker sets the bar FAR higher than any other. I don’t know of any other app on HabitMinderHabitTracker Store that offers this level of functionality. Truly outstanding.

It’s a great app the only thing that bothers me is HabitMinderHabitTracker is always about 500 steps behind what my actual step count is in my Garmin app when it’s supposed to be pulling the steps straight from that. Not sure what’s going on with it but that’s the only reason I give it 4 stars

Edit: Thanks for the reply, I checked into it and it looks like it’s the Apple Health app that is the issue I’m not sure what is going on as that is supposed to pull right from garmin as well. However, that does tell me it’s not HabitMinderHabitTracker that is the issue. So I have nothing but great things to say about HabitMinderHabitTracker. Developers, is there any way to add functionality to pull straight from Garmin/Fitbit apps for users of those devices?

When I’ve used my phone to remind me to do things, I either rebel or forget, and after some time I find the sounds increasingly annoying and finally get angry and turn them off. If I’m going to forget or rebel, I might as well do it without the nagging.

Habit minder is different. Someone knew what they were doing when they designed it. Instead of irritating sounds, it has cheerful tones; instead of stating what I’m supposed to do NOW, it asks questions—“Have you walked today?” And if I have actually done the thing I’ve planned, I get to enter congratulatory “I did it!” messages. It’s so much more pleasant and affirming!

Finally! I can enjoy my Apple Watch for my fitness!!! I use this one single app for ALL my fitness goals, I created one for “calories” and can log during my busy day right from my wrist. So awesome as a calorie tracker! (Not even Fitbit allows for that on their own watches?) HabitMinderHabitTracker is totally customizable, you have a super large selection of icons to choose from and various units to customize what you are tracking. I also my health kit syncing so my Apple Watch workouts/exercises & steps automatically sync to my app and I can view everything from my wrist! The support is not only responsive but they actually “fix” the issues you report and take into consideration new ideas you would like to see! Love HabitMinderHabitTracker and LOVE their support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I love HabitMinderHabitTracker! It makes measuring your goals so fun and it’s user friendly and appealing to the eye, lol.

It costs $9.99 a YEAR which is an awesome price in my opinion.

I have already recommended HabitMinderHabitTracker to my friends.

Some additions I would love to see:
1. I’d love to have a “page” option when it comes to the reading goal. There’s only “minutes”, so I set it to “10 minutes” even though what I really want it to be is “10 pages”. Also, there’s no “quick add” option here, which I kinda wish there was. (Also, i wish there was a “quick add” for “stretching”, and “create your own” goals as well)

2. I wish there was a way to set a goal to be for “every other day” in addition to the option to choose which days you want to do it. Right now I have one goal I want to do every other day, so I go in and manually change it from “MWFSun” to “TThSat” each week.

Aside from that, I seriously love HabitMinderHabitTracker!!

Thank you!

Very well designed, well worth HabitMinderHabitTracker purchase.

The watch complications and amount of customization they offer already makes it the best habit app. For me taking medicine is important, I love how HabitMinderHabitTracker tracks progress and lets you customize individual complications. There's also so much pre-built habits that you can start from. Available icons, colors, I just can't stress enough the amount of customization they let you do. There's something for everyone.

I checked out the top 5 habit apps out there before I made the purchase, this was way better and worth every penny.

No problems with HabitMinderHabitTracker. Functionality and form are flawless. The true value from HabitMinderHabitTracker comes from what you put into however. I have used HabitMinderHabitTracker to give myself personal daily reminders to make sure I am consistently working towards self fulfillment and care goals. Before using HabitMinderHabitTracker, I had no accountability checks in place. So I wasn’t able to monitor my progress in a meaningful or consistent way. Thanks so much for developing HabitMinderHabitTracker—it’s one of my favorite tools that’s allowed me to transform myself into the person I want to be.

I love HabitMinderHabitTracker. I was only searching for something to remind me to drink water. Imagine my surprise when I found out I could add a couple of other reminders. So far it’s working great for me. I only wish that the Apple Watch complications included an “Other” option where I can input a different number than the couple of options displayed on the watch. I don’t always have my phone available when I want to make an entry so an “Other” option would be super helpful for me.

by Amy4582

I love HabitMinderHabitTracker!
My only issue is that it seems to be doubling my workout time. It shows on my Health app as 30 something minutes but a HabitMinder shows more than an hour. It’s weird.
It’s not a huge deal because my goal is 30 minutes and I generally do a 30+ minute workout but if I had to do a short 15 Min workout someday, it would show as completed when it’s definitely not.
Otherwise I think it’s great! I like the nagging feature, and that I can teach on my watch and that it syncs with my Heath app!

I purchased HabitMinderHabitTracker on a whim, but it’s so easy & fun to use I can’t imagine keeping my daily habits in gear without it! Their customer service is also amazing: I recently had an issue with a habit setup, & sent an email. I didn’t expect a reply at all, but I got a quick response that they were fixing it, & a proactive follow up letting me know the latest update had resolved the issue (shout out: you rock, Kriss!)! You can’t beat the efficiency of HabitMinderHabitTracker , or the awesome team behind it :) I definitely recommend this for someone trying to build & maintain new habits: it’s intuitive & integrates nicely with the Apple Watch & existing Health & other apps, too, so you don’t have to duplicate efforts with data entry (huge win). Thank you to the team who for created & maintains HabitMinderHabitTracker! You’re crushing it!

I love HabitMinderHabitTracker it’s an extremely intuitive and easy app to use. Very motivational and inspirational. I have really gotten a lot done including writing, which I tend to procrastinate on for any reason under the sun. This has helped me bypass that reflex, as I do enjoy reaching 100% of my goals and seeing that spelled out simply and plainly in HabitMinderHabitTracker is very rewarding. I used to have about 42 goals, but cut it down to 19 and that seems the perfect amount so I don’t get overwhelmed. Really awesome appreciate it!

by Nobody P7

I love HabitMinderHabitTracker. For some reason it seems to be the only app that is able to keep my attention for health and fitness goals which I NEED!!! I am going to start using this for good as soon as I get 100% used to it. It has so many different features compared to all of the other apps that I’ve tried using and just end up deleting at the end of the day/week. That’s another good thing that I like about it too. It’s will give me enough goals to try and pursue so I can know whether or not I want to purchase it. A lot of other apps want you to purchase them before you are even able to understand or get into all of the functions of HabitMinderHabitTracker that you aren’t sure you can use or even need. This is the best app out of the hundreds that I've used thus far for motivation and focus. Many terrific features. Thank you to the developer. I appreciate HabitMinderHabitTracker and it’s certainly a keeper. It works wonders for me and has made life a lot easier in just the short time I’ve been using it.
