NATURE IS NOT A LUXURY. IT IS A NECESSITY.
Cool concept, needs better rewards
I love the idea of the app but you can only get discounts through L.L.Bean
United StatesApp doesn’t track
Doesn’t work!!
United StatesGreat idea, pretty inaccurate 😅
While I think this app is really cute the results are fairly inaccurate, I’ve seen other reviews have the problem where their app doesn’t track their hours of outdoor time, I have the exact opposite problem, my app tracks that I’m outdoors when I’m indoors. I noticed this first when it started tracking that I had reached 30 minutes of outdoor time when I’d been sitting in my room on my phone for several hours. I figured that, hey, maybe this was just because I live in a somewhat nature-filled neighborhood, but then I hit my goal of 120 minutes. Sitting in a hotel room. In the middle of a city. So it’s safe to say this app isn’t exactly accurate.
United StatesGood app
Would like additional stats on where and when we got the minutes.
United StatesI’ll continue tracking my own time outside
I’ve been doing the 1000 hours outside challenge for 4-5 years now, so am always tracking outside time. I read about this app and figured I’d give it a go to see how accurate it was. I like the feature where it tells you the nature score of where you are… but as far as recording outside time, it’s very off. After using it for 4 days, averaging 4-5 hours outside per day, the app only recorded that I was outside for 1 hour/day. And only half of that time counted as “quality” time. I was in my (98.5 scored) yard most of the time - mostly gardening. So, I don’t know if it just scored poorly because I was too close to my house part of the time. But I will probably not continue to try to use this app to track time.
United StatesCool
This is a cool app but after trying it out for a few weeks, I’m deleting because I don’t change locations frequently enough for my data to vary widely (plus it runs in the background, so I don’t want extra battery drain). I could see this having more useful long-term use for people with a lifestyle that involves more neighborhood/environment diversity. I wish the app itself had an interactive map. You can go to the website to look at map scores by street or address, but if you happen to be in a low-scoring area, there’s no indication of where to turn to get more green exposure unless you’re already familiar with the area.
United StatesMakes you aware of outside time
Great app needs to be a little more informative . It does not seem to always pick up on being in a rural area because it may not be on map yet.
