Habitica: Gamify Your Tasks: What Users Actually Complain About

App requires internet connection for basic functionality, making it unusable in areas with poor or no connectivity.

“it has no offline functionality. If your internet is slightly bad you cannot update your habits. Making this not usable”

“This would have been a good app if its available offline, I always travel and some place didn't have internet so this is”

Widgets frequently malfunction, display incorrectly, or lack proper theme matching with the app.

“widget no longer works, currently just purple with no response when tapped”

“THE WIDGET THEME DOESN'T MATCH THE APPS THEME SO MY PHONE IS ON LIGHT BUT HAS A DARK THEME SO THIS IS SO ANNOYING”

“the widget for a habit works only 50% pf time.”

App lacks basic task management features like editing, setting due dates, or reminders.

“You can't edit any of the tasks, set due dates, reminders or anything at all. It's literally just a viewer”

“not practical for multiple projects. All views are very flat.”

App frequently crashes, becomes unresponsive, or prevents users from performing basic functions.

“Half of the time I cant use any function of the app because of endless bugs. Cant create or delete habbits”

“Constantly breaking. I'm tired of my chore app being worse than my chores.”

App has a cluttered, confusing design with poor navigation and unclear instructions.

“The UI is too confusing and overloaded with text. If there was a way to simplify, I think a lot more people would use”

“there are just no instructions. I don't understand what the difference is between the types of tasks or what all these f”

“unclear how to use”

App collects user data without clear consent and has concerning privacy policies.

“privacy policy. My data isn't for use for whatever purpose. I don't intend to keep using Habitica”

“told them not to collect my data, it was toggled off, it automatically toggled it on when I clicked next. scummy”

Game balance problems, unfair punishments, and pay-to-win elements frustrate users.

“the punishments are too much, and encourages dishonesty in my opinion. Felt weirdly P2W at certain points”

“High level mages can do hundreds of points of damage to bosses in one hit...this means they can wipe them out fast, mean”

“lost all my avatars health just trying to figure out the app works and was going to have to pay to revive”

App has removed previously available features and lacks essential functionality users expect.

“Why did you get rid of the 2x2 widget?”

“removed the ability to "complete" (check off as done) a task or habit from the notification bar”

“can't cancel subscription”
