Habio - Daily Habit Tracker 4+

Dark patterns galore- don’t sign up

This app is a scam and should be removed from the App Store / banned from social media advertising. I wish I had seen the other reviews before signing up for a $10 2 week trial.

As soon as I saw the litany of complaints about fraudulent billing and difficulties canceling subscriptions, I immediately submitted a cancelation request through the app and emailed their CS team. While the app does show you a confirmation screen upon submitting your cancelation request, the app itself does not update to show a static message about your canceled status. Because of this limitation, I asked their CS team to confirm receipt of my cancelation request. Since then, I’ve gotten days of drawn out, unhelpful responses asking why I wanted to cancel, then advising me to submit an inquiry from a different email address because they were not able to locate an account associated with my current one. What a joke- I replied with a copy of the subscription confirmation email sent to that same “unknown” address. I’m fully prepared to report any fraudulent charges after my trial ends to my credit card company, and hope I don’t have to change my credit card number entirely to escape this sham of a company.

PLEASE READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY OR APP!*** I wish I head read reviews before even clicking on one single thing that this app marketed to me. They use bait-click to charge your account for things like “workbooks” without sending you to a secondary authorization screen for you to acknowledge and VERIFY your purchase. They do this intentionally to gain as many accidental purchases as they can and they offer ZERO REFUNDS FOR ANYTHING. This app is definitely a scam that is targeting a vulnerable population and is simply intended for financial gain and profit with ZERO concern for their customers or their customers hard earned money. The very fact that they don’t allow commenting on their Instagram is further proof that they don’t want people posting about these issues. I can guarantee they are inflating their 5 star reviews and are most likely participating in other unethical practices to obtain consumers funds. DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS APP OR THIS COMPANY. If you are feeling lost or fatigued seek real outside guidance and support and do not let these false “guru” apps prey on you. Shame on you Habio for unethically taking a single mom’s money, and not having one ounce of compassion in your refund policies and your “click-bait” practices.

AVOID THIS APP! It’s just a “cute UI cash grab”.

They won’t refund you any money, the purpose of this app, like many other apps these days, is to get you to subscribe and forget you subscribed. Aka, cause you more stress. I have suspicion that they bought a bunch of positive reviews too. The things you do in this app, can be done for free with a piece of paper and a pencil. It ends up adding more stress to your life than it does help you organize it. This app is so basic, that it really should just be completely free. There is nothing that the developers have to do to update the app, it’s kind of just finished. So why am I subscribing to it? Huge amounts of regret, but they caught me at a busy time in my life, and I forgot I ever started the trial for it. $50 charge later, I can’t go back on it. I forced myself to use the app, but it’s absolute garbage. It’s journaling, without the journal, but then tells you to journal your feelings… what? lol. Please don’t even start the trial. It’s just a cash grab, and these developers have 0 remorse for abusing people that want to better their lives. Wish I could petition to remove it from the App Store.
