The Habit Factor® Lite App Reviews

Cant get the program to work.

Wow, what a piece of crap. Looks like this is never going to get fixed. Crashes immediately or loads to a black screen.

Habit Factor is a great application. I am recommending it to all kind of personalities to track their habits daily.

I love the app, but does anyone else see Jesus on startup?

Can only have one goal on the free version. Full version is too expensive.

I like it, but I can only use 5 habits at a time in the free version, even though the directions say I can use as many as I want. I am also confused about the Jesus on the opening screen too...

i check this app every morning to keep me on track. The note section is great as I can write encouraging affirmations. Im working out and reading more because of this app. It helps me build discipline. Get it!!

For something as heavily focused on word input, having this as an ipad app would be great. I got an iPad because I didnt like the idea of typing on a small keyboard and this can be frustrating. All in all, I like it as its clear to follow, easy to use, and has great additions. Im using the free version now but I can see going to the pay-for version if I can consistently use it. So, four stars, one down becuase theres not an iPad version. An additional item that would be great is perhaps a PC interface so that you could easily transfer things back and forth, like many programs have now. Just a thought... that is something for which I would absolutely pay.

Ive tried a few other goal tracking apps and this one seems just as good for the basics as others that cost a few bucks. It serves the purpose but isnt amazingly better. Makes me wonder what Im missing in the paid version but Im not excited about the cost of the full version. If you just want something to keep track of goals, this will do fine. For those wondering about the figures shown at startup, it isnt Jesus but it is Aristotle and Plato, taken from a famous painting by Raphael called "School of Athens". Wikipedia has good info on the painting.

I didnt like it. I am not sure how the full version could cost $6.99. I guess they know suffering humans are so eager for change that they jump right in and make the purchase--kind of like joining a gym or buying some ridiculous piece of exercise equipment advertised on late-night TV. The instructions say its "not about counting." For example, if you want to drink eight glasses of water a day, you cant put in a check each time you drink a glass of water. You need to somehow keep track of the number of times you drink a glass of water throughout the day and then put in ONE check when you are done. So, I guess you need another app to keep track throughout the day. The creators of this app pretty much TELL YOU what you are supposed to want to do rather than try to figure out what youll want and then give it to you. You would need to basically buy in to their plan for you if you are going to use this app. Their plan for you seems rather counter-intuitive. Also, they clearly spent NO time working on the directions! Be prepared to figure it out yourself! I am looking at using my iPhone calendar to track progress.

Im liking this app so far. The instructions could be a little more defined. I hope the makers are gathering feedback and make it more user friendly. At this point I would pay $1.99 for expanded features - maybe. But, Im going to wait and see if they make improvements. I cant imagine it being worth $6.99?! I give it four stars now because its free. :)

The developer means the best, but this app is kludgy, complex, and ugly--great design for a 2008-era app, not for 2012. Theres better available. I use both "Way of Life" and "Ritual" every morning and evening, quickly and with great results. I started with this app before I found the others, so Im grateful, particularly because the quotations are so spot-on. As part of my morning routine, I still open this app and read two or three quotes for motivation. I dont mean to harsh on the developer, but let the competitive marketplace force developers to update their apps to make them user-friendly. This app has an ugly interface and takes too long time to navigate (too much tapping).

Well done on design and concept, but ultimately not worth paying the 7bucks for the full version. Inspirational quotes are mostly trite - putting up some truly helpful instructions and quotes would be a big improvement.

Great app to keep up with one selves habits.

Works great! Love seeing those check marks line up on the calendar. Very motivating to me.

Horrible and non-intuitive interface. I created a Goal and made it active, but when I created a Habit, it kept telling me I have no active Goals. Pass on this one... Im going to explore for other more simple apps.

I was excited to try out this app… And it seemed promising as I read the instructions. However, I was instantly frustrated when I tried to input my first goal. I had to pause a few times in the middle of filling in the details for my first goal, and each time my phone went into screensaver mode, the app would close and I would lose everything that I entered. Usually, when this happens, when you unlock your phone again, the app will remain in the same place so you can pick up where you left off. This happened about three times in a row (I have a baby, there are lots of distractions in my house) and by that time I got so frustrated I just deleted the app.

This app has no UP-to-date support from the developer. Dozens of months between updates. Here are 2 instances: The app still does not have personal custom color choices for categories (developer intention in 2011) nor data backup nor data export (developer intention in 2011). There are better app choices out there. Keep looking, and test out a few at one time. CANNOT RECOMMEND

Very nice with new updates. Great app!

Thank you THF. Really enjoying this app and sharing with friends. Keep up the good work. Was hoping to see some of this come through in update.
