Contact Better Habits of Health Support

I’ve been a premium user for over a year now. There’s no doubt about it: its application of Nag Reminders to continuously push you to complete a habit for that day is brilliant. I’m astonished that no other habit app has adopted this feature because it makes a huge difference, especially given how easy it is to ignore a single reminder these days. Where this app falls short though is in staying updated. 1) How can you call yourself a serious habits app when you DON’T have an Apple Watch version? Or a Web App version? This makes it difficult for me to quickly check off my habits when I’m working at my Mac, for example, and my phone is on silent. As a professional, this is a frequent experience. 2) The last update was A YEAR AGO. I don’t understand how you can expect users to trust you when you are barely ensuring the app is optimized for the latest iOS. Because of this I have had to end my subscription and delete Better Habits.

This was a great habit tracker at first but then it went crazy on me. It began “reminding” me to track my habit even when I had checked it off for the day and even when I turned off “nag,” then finally turned off reminder altogether. I had 3 habits I was tracking so deleted the habit that went nuts. The next night, habit #2 did the same thing. I finally, say, ended up deleting the whole app. I also noticed that there were days it didn’t track though I pressed them and it also lost stats. So, I couldn’t give it 5 stars (or even close).

This app is cleverly designed and promising, but it doesn’t reliably record and track my habits. There’s no way to back up your data in case something goes wrong or you get a new phone and want to transfer your data. The pace of development has also been very slow considering the high costs for the premium membership and the significant limitations on the free version.
