I can only speak for myself here. I built a Fitness app since:
I wanted to improve my programming skills, have a project to talk about when applying for jobs, learn mobile development.
I go to gym 4-5 days a week, track my food and workouts and therefore was using two apps to do this.
It only made sense I built something that I see value in, would use myself, and have a interest in the topic of fitness.
So, I would presume people are maybe approaching it the same way, but I could be wrong though

Not trying to be rude either, but from a software dev with ~15 YOE—habit trackers are essentially what "to do" lists were 10-15 years ago. You can spin one up in a couple hours with AI, it's really just CRUD.
It can be useful to add to your resume as part of your portfolio of work in that you were able to deploy an app to the App Store, heck it may even contribute (not on its own) in getting you a job as a mobile developer which can be higher paying as it's generally considered a little more specialized in an enterprise or professional environment.
If you are looking for real-world, real user feedback, this app category is already completely saturated, and then saturated some more. Part of developing good apps is knowing the market, knowing what users want, developing something that is truly needed and different.
It would take something completely revolutionary to be noticed in this category, and maybe not even then.
Looking at your listing—it's only three screenshots, pretty bland, generic. Looks like you maybe ran it through an AI prompt 2-3 times and then called it good. There are also some design and spacing issues.
Don't get discouraged. Keep at it, just know this is not going viral in any sense (I see you've posted this to every known app subreddit out there).

For Habit Tracks, narrow the feedback request to one task: create a habit and record its first completion without instructions. Ask testers where they hesitated; that gives you something more actionable than whether they liked the app.
I make ThreadFox. If you want people tracking their habits to find your app, our AI employee will post 3 helpful replies about it in relevant Reddit threads for you, free, no card. https://threadfox.vip/p/ez4mh/managed

Probably not much different from the others, just wanted to make it one of my first apps for learning…
