    I need all the help I can get with motivation. Gamification of tasks is a game changer! I use it for work, personal tasks, and housekeeping! Even made some friends along the way. Thank you!!
  • Literally Changing my Life

    TL:DR: App is literally changing my life at work and in my personal life. It uses social features and really simple design mechanics (sound, color, etc) to help you complete stuff. Highly recommended if you don’t mind the paywall. I want to say a big thank you to Habitica for making this app, because it’s actively changing my day-to-day life. I had been really struggling in almost every aspect of my life—especially work—to get done what I needed to get done. This simple app has helped me get more done in a few weeks than I have in months, and it’s genuinely helped me so much. If I can’t get motivated to do a task, I will put it in Habitica, and that alone will help me get it done. Some things I didn’t know when I downloaded that I think would have tipped me over sooner: •You have habits, “dailies,” and to-dos. Your habits will change colors based on whether or not you do them *or* mark that you didn’t do them. This color changing alone has me 10x more likely to do a habit lol •Your to-dos change color based on how long they’ve sat in your to-do list. They turn bright red when they’re not done •You can weight the difficulty of a task I find the “getting stuff” aspect of the app less appealing, so the paywall doesn’t bug me much, though if your main motivation would be getting pets/weapons/etc, I can see how it could be troublesome. The simple color-chancing mechanic of all the sections is really effective for me. The guild feature is SUPER motivating, as well. I love joining in on quests with my guild. I just got a group of friends to join so that we could make a guild together! Love the app. God bless you guys!
  • Finally, something that works

    I have ADHD and have been struggling to find something that works for me. The app not only allows me to track tasks, I can track habits. I like that you can set up repeating tasks as “dailies” (not necessarily daily as I have weekly tasks and work day tasks). But the best part is the gamification. I was doubtful it would work but it does! I love spending my coins and gems on new gear and pets. Dressing my avatar up every day is fun! The party system was a nice surprise too. I love the folks in my party. Most of them have ADHD too so we have bonded over our struggles and triumphs. It’s a nice little support system. I’m a subscriber now, it’s not expensive and I love the perks.
  • Would be nice to do more than register.

    I really like the idea of this app, and know a few people that are, or will be, trying it out, especially since it's had some updates. I am a completely blind iPhone user, and would love to participate in self-care, and habit-based taskmanagement, however, with the use of screenreaders, you can only really register. There is not a way to progress during the initial setup. Would love for this to be more accessible to the blind and visually impaired!
  • Amazing

    This app is awesome. It’s single-handedly saving my life and the greatest idea or concept. I think I’ve ever heard of. You can literally gain XP for going to the gym or staying off of social media. What a genius concept keep up the great work whoever created this app. THANK YOU!!!!
  • Avatar background previews don’t show the whole picture, no refund

    I paid money for a background for my avatar, joke’s on me the sample picture only shows the top half of the background… so now I spent money on this silly background with no way to get a refund. Very disrespectful.
  • Nice concept, but buggy implementation

    I’m only a few tasks in. I was awarded Bardic Robes, yet I have no way to equip the robes or view them in my inventory. When I click the name of any one of my equipped items, the name is highlighted but nothing happens. It’s a shame that a game with such a great concept has such bugs.
  • !!!No sound on IOS apperently!!!

    Seems like a cool app but unfortunately there is no sound which is misleading in my opinion since it says there is. Will change when fixed, until then. This app had potential.

    I love it so much. It’s really helpful if you struggle with needing motivation to do things or remembering them. It’s very intuitive to set up and genuinely an adorable game themed app. Also it’s not a huge deal to set up because it already has starting habits like exercising, taking a break, and flossing, that you can edit, remove and add to at anytime to fit your needs. All the little pet designs are so cool and the designs of the monsters you can fight with friends are too!! There’s a bunch of settings to customize your routine so it fits you, but you can also just ignore most of them if it’s too overwhelming. And my favorite thing right now, you don’t have to check everything off before midnight. Each morning when you open the app it will let you check off anything you forgot to the day before Also if the whole thing is too overwhelming for a bit or traveling changes your routine, you can pause damage anytime you want.
  • It’s great when it works

    As an rpg nerd, There’s nothing like this app to help motivate me and trick me into building better habits and accomplishing my tasks to help me achieve my goal. When it works, I love it. The problem is that the app (and website) are completely reliant on having an online connection to function. So when habitica servers are down, the app is rendered useless. If the company could figure out a way to make the app available regardless of your internet access, I’d give it 5 stars. But till then, this is the best rating o can give to due to constant server interruptions.
