Can’t use it without giving it permission to track you 24/7
I love the idea of this app, and the kinds of charts and data shown in the pictures is exactly what I’m looking for… except you can’t even use this app at all unless you change your phone settings to allow it to use your precise location at all times. It literally won’t even allow you to see the interface without that. Then it just shows a countdown and says it’s “getting to know you.” Still no interface. Maybe it’s worth waiting for, but I’m not willing to give up my privacy to find out. I work from home and don’t go out much, so I don’t see how this would be very helpful anyway. I thought I’d have the option to manually track things as well, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case. All it does is track exactly where you are 24/7.
United StatesUnable to edit activities
I want to change the names of the activities and delete some of the old ones, but that’s no way to do so in the app. Very disappointed.
United StatesNeed help
I'd like to be able to reach a customer support. Can we delete categories that we haven't added? Seems like it has great potential, but leaving one-star until I can get some things figured out.
United StatesNo editing of locations
When this app fails to identify where you are there does not appear to be any way to add a new location.
United StatesVery unhappy long time subscriber
I’ve been subscribing to this app as a premium member for backup since 2017. My premium subscription renewed at $9.99 as usual in November, but now the app is saying my subscription expired in December. The app is now demanding $29.99 to not only use the backup I paid for but access data that should be available for free. This feels like a scam. I can’t recommend this app anymore.
United StatesA lot to like
This is truly one of those “Why didn’t they think of that before?” breakthrough apps that really leverages the fact that your phone always knows where you are. There’s much to like about it that other reviews touch on, and I think this app will eventually become exceptional. It does have a few quirks and deficiencies that keep it from greatness, however, that I hope the developer will address. First, monthly comparisons are done primarily on total hours instead of hours per day. Unfortunately, different months have different numbers of days, so that’s comparing apples and oranges (or at least big apples and small apples). Yes I know I spent less time doing x in February than in January…because there are fewer days in February! Moreover, monthly and even weekly totals are interesting but irrelevant to our daily lives. At a minimum, we should be able to tap to switch between monthly/weekly totals and average-per-day totals. Another issue is that the “what you were doing” categorization needs more thought and structure. A simple list of possible activities without any nuance, systemic meaning, or easy and intuitive adaptability is ok for a “version 1” but ultimately misses the mark and needs significant innovation. Yes, I can add new categories, but when “lunch” and “dinner” are as disparate as “sleep” and “travel,” the meaning and utility (and ability to roll up activities into activity types) is lost. Moreover, while most places are associated to one specific activity, others aren’t, and the app doesn’t prompt for clarification for locations that could be associated to different activities at different times. What if I sometimes go to a given restaurant for breakfast and other times for dinner? (Hint: Replace “lunch” and “dinner” with “dining out.”) What if I sometimes go to a mall to shop, other times to eat, and other times to watch a movie? Yes, this will be a tough nut to crack for the developer, but it will be necessary if they really want to make this app meaningfully useful…and based on what’s in the app so far, I’m confident they have the talent do accomplish this and more. Overall, very good at present. I look forward to future excellence!
