GetHabit - Easy Habit Tracker Reviews

by Hannahlenelle

I thought this was going to be something I liked and would use everyday. It wouldn’t let me get past the main screen without paying something first. After that it asked me for a lifetime warranty for TWENTY dollars. It’s originally FORTY so I went ahead and got it.
Turns out GetHabit is not customizable in the challenges, it ended up charging my card forty dollars instead of twenty and there’s no way for me to get that money back. Highly disappointed with this and the way they just took money and didn’t even give me the discount I was supposed to get.

.49 just to check it out but still have no access to things and then a weekly, monthly or lifetime subscription. Not anything like the ad on Facebook. I went into GetHabit by paying .49 and immediately knew it was different than advertised - they also rip you off by saying pay $40 for a lifetime subscription and then offer it for $20 afterwards (supposedly even if you pay the $40). All I know is this seems like a scam. Someone is really good at marketing. I canceled thru Apple ID and will be reporting them through the App Store. After reading other reviews I will be watching to ensure they don’t take more of my money as it looks like others have canceled and still been charged.

I saw the add on Facebook and thought to myself omg this is exactly what I need. A schedule to help me clean and stay organized. Especially with 2 under 2. Well I download GetHabit and assumed it was free and figured they would charge for premium service. Well as soon as I open GetHabit they start marketing and I try the 3 day trial. (Btw I just downloaded GetHabit like 15 minutes ago and I’m already canceling and uninstalling) and I can’t even enjoy GetHabit or review it because everything requires me to pay. SMH. How do I know if I want to pay for something that I can’t even try.

I couldn’t even open it without getting upgrade screens to pay. Even tho I opted for the week 49 cent trial I couldn’t get past the screen where they offered me a lower lifetime subscription. It just stayed there even after the timer expired. I couldn’t even start over because it said I already had the week sub but I couldn’t see any content. I figured an app that prevents you seeing what it offers is an app that doesn’t offer much. I saw it as an ad on Facebook. I’ve never had luck with FB ads so I should’ve known better. Do yourself a favor and get a different app.

Really disappointed when I download apps like this to try out. Every click leads to the payment page and it’s nearly impossible to test GetHabit at all without paying for it first or writing a review in exchange for trying GetHabit (which seems deceiving to customers that the company encourages people to leave reviews before having the opportunity to use the product). The free trial
Is 3 days, and I didn’t bother because the point of GetHabit is to track weekly and monthly challenges/goals.

I have to believe the people that developed GetHabit were good at Marketing but not so strong on the organizational or technical front. As others have said, the ads are misleading to the strength of being able to schedule your own habits + create a resolution with a strong schedule of tasks. If you choose one of their preprogrammed schedules, it works. If you try to create one of your own, not only is the UI not friendly to this, buttons to create tasks just do not work. Meaning you can’t even use work arounds to use as a low grade task manager. Outlook is actually more user friendly :|

I downloaded GetHabit hoping it’d help me keep track of things like a book list to read or movies to watch like advertised.
I went to purchase the lifetime membership before I could fully understand what was even apart or offered with GetHabit (my mistake) and as I was finishing up with the purchase of the lifetime membership, a popup came up for a half price. Thinking it would cancel out the other, I went for it. Now I need to figure out how to get something back because I’ve been charged twice for the same purchase. I am not happy with with this product or being charged twice.

I love the habits that they offer to improve you as a person. Also the 30 day challenges and daily challenges were very interesting and I was looking forward to completing them. I signed up for several challenges and daily habits. I went to sleep looking forward to the next day to start my challenges and new habits. Here’s the bad part: GetHabit doesn’t notify you at all through out the day so you can stick with the new habits and follow through on your challenges. There is no accountability. I wanted reminders throughout the day to take the thinking out of it and that way a new good habit would be formed. But it didn’t. The only thing it let me know at the end of the day was whether or not I competed the challenges.

I never write reviews. But GetHabit is awful to say the least. It is just a scam. They post ads on Facebook showing how great it is. They have extremely limited content. And to even look at the content you have to pay! I bought the lifetime membership for $40 and then immediately it showed me a pop up for half off. Thinking that it would only show me that because I wasn’t going to buy, I agreed. It charged me an addition $20. So I paid $60 for an app I never even saw. Once I get into the content, there is nothing. And the “habits” aren’t even worth your time. Luckily I have been issued a refund and deleted GetHabit . You are better off doing something else or finding inspiration off Pinterest because GetHabit is worthless.

I was shown an ad with a cleaning schedule and I downloaded GetHabit thinking it looked cool. Was met with a $0.49 charge to even enter GetHabit : DUMB. Whatever, I tried it. Maybe it’s a game changer and I’ll want to do the annual subscription. But, before I get to see GetHabit , I’m met with an offer to pay $20 for the year. I almost did it, but with a minute to decide I wanted to see the dang app to begin. Thank goodness I did cause GetHabit is nothing like the ad. I wouldnt recommend. Keep your 0.49 cents and don’t waste your time.

To the dev and marketing teams: clean it up. Advertise GetHabit in its current state, not some dreamworld that hasn’t been developed yet. Don’t let me buy the free trial for 0.49 cents and then tell me I need the full app to see certain areas. That’s poor business.

I had to purchase a subscription to even LOOK at GetHabit which should’ve been a giant red flag, but it looked good in the Facebook ad. Ha! WRONG. It’s inflexible and disorganized. For example, in the “morning routine” challenge, you don’t get to customize anything or tailor it to your needs. Just a list of random b.s. that may or may not even interest you. I paid for a month of NOTHING. Sure would be nice to get my $ back, seeing as how you have to pay to even check it out.

Developers: not even allowing folks to peruse GetHabit before subscribing is shady and makes you look like crooks. Even a 24-hour free trial is better than nothing and a week is even better.

Which is why I recommend Fabulous. You DO get a lengthy free trial of the premium version, and the basic version is FREE. A lot of folks do just fine with the basic! You can customize every single challenge or habit to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

I came to GetHabit from the incredible advertisements that I have seen on Facebook and Instagram because of the amazing customizable features and how it “fits to your routine” ... it costs $40 to even SEE the content of GetHabit . Not only did I pay that, I was immediately offered 50% off AFTER purchasing the regular premium rate. I attempted contacting customer service for GetHabit - it does not exist. Infuriated, I tried to request a refund TWICE from Apple and was denied. GetHabit is a scam and they just want your money. DO NOT buy the lifetime access, complete waste of $40.

GetHabit was awful! You can't even preview it before you buy it. I was against buying something I couldn't try. Then it offered me the half off deal like other people mentioned. So I said whatever I'll try it. I purchased it and it was NOTHING like the Facebook ad showed. They give you maybe 50 habits to break but the items in the "habit" don't even help you break the bad habit, or develop a new one. For example the 21 day cleaning challenge "day 1, clean sink, take a picture." "Day 2...., take a picture" the only habit I'm developing is using my phone more!"

I have now emailed support twice after I was double-charged for the subscription. There is no consistent subscription strategy when you first get GetHabit , I can ended up get to the .49 for the first week. But I was still locked out of several things and I was really frustrated and confused so I deleted GetHabit and cancelled the subscription.

After a little bit I read the reviews and they seemed really good so I figured I should give it a chance. So I reinstalled GetHabit . Even though i had already paid for a .49 subscription, I again got tons of subscription pop ups so I choose the option for 3-days-free then 30$/3months after, which in practice should mean 3-free days, then being charged foe the 3-months if I don’t cancel before the 3 days. However I was immediately charged the $30. I have emailed their support email twice (5-days ago and 3 days ago), giving them the chance to address this directly, and they haven’t responded at all.

First off, the ad that introduced GetHabit to me made it seem like it was customizable to personality trait. I assumed they would at least outline the personality types OR even note which habits lend themselves to those types.
Second, it’s .49 to even access GetHabit . Ok whatever I’ll try it for that. But then you don’t even get full access?! How do I even know if I want an annual subscription without knowing the apps functions.
Third, maybe develop GetHabit a little future. I’ve never seen a habit app have so few helpful choices.

by BangtanGirlScout

Like a lot of other people, I saw the ad on FB and saw all of the 30 day challenges and thought it looked really cool. The ad is nothing like the actual app. The actual app is not worth the $40 I paid for the lifetime membership (which was my own fault for not just trying it first). It’s basically the same as any free habit tracker app but with a few 7-10 day challenges that all appear to basically be the same ideas (wake up early, meditate, etc). Wouldn’t be a bad app if it was only a few bucks and advertised correctly.

I purchased GetHabit and it has helped with daily/weekly/monthly habits and to-do lists. I just wish the habits could be edited/deleted after creating. I mis-categorized some of my daily habits and instead of being able to change the category I have to re-create the habit in the new category. Once the new categorized habit is created I can only remove the incorrect one from my habit list and not delete entirely. I feel this is something that could easily be addressed.

I downloaded this application, but I don’t know it’s not specially formatted for iPad. Therefore, I was confused when I couldn't find an option to reduce the font size. I really want to be able to zoom out, because everything on the iPad is big. But I realized that, this is a very large phone version, and there is no way to shrink the text or make other changes to discover more habits immediately. I like the colors. I like the layout and the way you can register with just one click, even if you exceed your goal, you can complete it every day and stay focused. Many applications only allow you to check in and "confirm" the maximum number of days you said you will complete the task. Hence, if you go over, you will not be able to record them. But With this application, you can at least see and record that you have completed this operation (but can your percentage exceed 100%? I forgot to check...I just want to format it as an iPad! (And someday desktop!) I just want to be able to view my habits at any time and not feel like a granny who can’t see clearly. (No offense to grandmothers and blind people)

I was so happy to get GetHabit it looked really good and I feel like I could have done so much but every time I try to click on one challenge and asked me for money but then I clicked ask but then I would always say I have to read it and it was just freeze and I can never go actually to the challenge.
I don’t know how to use GetHabit can someone please help me!

the reviews tend to show to 5 star reviews first so that’s why I gave it 5 stars. don’t download GetHabit. I was double charged for a lifetime subscription that I did NOT authorize! you have to buy a subscription to even get into GetHabit , which I was pretty much tricked I into buying. then right after, I was offered the same subscription at half price and since I was tricked into buying the other & it hadn’t taken anything out of my account, I decided to go for the half price. I was charged for both!!!!! $40 then $20 right after and most the features on GetHabit are STILL LOCKED. I’m very angry but these people don’t respond when you tell them about this. i’m contacting apple directly and my bank. be careful and don’t download rhi’s app it’s a SCAM.
