Habitica: Gamified Taskmanager 4+

I could not run my life without this app. That's the shortest possible way I can describe my experience with it after using it for three years. It's cute and fun and its structure grasps something that few other task management apps have been able to replicate. Separating habits, periodical tasks and one-off to-do's is simple but like many simple things, it took a long time for somebody to do it! Now that Habitica has, though, there's no going back for me.

Recent updates have introduced some annoying bugs but the developers are responsive and hard-working. I'm sure they'll iron them out quickly as they always do. The glitches are worth putting up with, especially because you can use Habitica in a browser, where there are few glitches. The browser use means that you can have it open in a tab on your computer at work, in class or anywhere else and not have to worry about using your phone.

This thing is just so versatile. It only loses a star because some of its current bugs are a bit of a hassle. Let me repeat myself, though: they are worth putting up with for this gem of an app.

I have only been using this app a few days but I am already in LOVE. I have tried so many different habit apps and this one has been the most engaging and successful so far!! Other apps have either required a subscription or just aren’t as motivating. Having it as a video game format with (in game) consequences/ rewards for your character holds me accountable and motivates me to actually do the tasks! Thank you so much!!

Note to creators:
First of all, thank you! If you guys ever do decide to make payment a requirement for the functions of the app- please consider a one time payment, rather than a subscription service. People (myself included) are way more likely to buy an app for a few dollars (or perhaps trial then buy), rather than an ongoing subscription payment. You all of course deserve compensation for your work, however I think it’s worth keeping in the mind that a one-off payment could be way more successful. Regardless, thank you for this app- wishing you all the best !

This app has changed my life. I couldn’t do anything without it. My party and guilds have become my best friends and everybody I have met on the app is incredibly helpful and supportive. The idea of levelling up by doing tasks is brilliant, and I have some really cool pets and mounts. There are different limited edition items also. The best part for me is that the app never pushes you to buy anything. There are also NO ADS. So there are subscriptions and in-game purchases, you are never asked to buy them, and the app runs perfectly fine without them. The gems are mostly spent on getting quests, more pets and cosmetic gear. You can get eggs and hatching potions just by completing tasks, so you still don’t NEED to pay for anything. You can also get gems by winning challenges. Overall, a great app. There are a few bugs here and there, but that cannot take my mind off the amazing community.
