### 2/5 — Constantly asking for review

*2026-08-19, version 6.6.1*

The functionality of the app is good however every time I open it I am asked for a review- very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Good app, but she’s MAHA 🤮

*2026-07-12, version 6.6.1*

It’s a really great app that I use daily, but I wish I had known she is MAGA/MAHA before I gave her my money 3-4 years ago. If you already have it, great, but I don’t recommend it to anyone now because I think her views are quite dangerous and insidious.

### 5/5 — Love

Fantastic app to help track hours outside :)

### 5/5 — Helpful tracker for our family

*2026-06-13, version 6.5.6*

I am thankful I was able to download the 1KHO app in 2023 while it was free. Each year we have been able to see how the kids and I have improved on our ability to get outside more. I appreciate how we can set the tracker for different people at different times and see a chart of how we’re making progress throughout the year, as well.

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2026-06-11, version 6.5.6*

Literally the best podcast, have been listening for years. Always inspiring, always so helpful . We have been doing 1000 hours outside since my oldest was a baby and now we have 3 young boys always getting their outside time! I love Ginny so much she seems like an absolute joy to be around.

### 3/5 — Constant review asks

*2026-06-04, version 6.5.6*

I’d love it if the app wouldn’t ask me to rate it every time I opened it 😕

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-06-03, version 6.5.6*

I have used the app for several years now, and there have been great improvements along the way. I keep accurate count of all my kids hours as well as my own and it is very easy to edit if I forget to shut the timer off or forget to start the timer. My kids absolutely love seeing when they achieve a new status when we have a badge show up. It is so simple to use and now part of our outdoor experience everyday!

### 5/5 — No

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stop asking me to rate

*2026-07-24, version 6.6.1*

Stop asking me to rate the app. I have rated it many, many times already. The window blocks the timer start button 100% of the time.

### 1/5 — Do NOT recommend.

*2026-06-24, version 6.6.0*

I was enjoying it but now every time I open the app it asks me to review it. I submitted one review to make it stop but it has continued prompting me for a review every time I open it.
Edit: still doing this after several weeks. It doesn’t matter how many times I leave a review it continues to prompt me to leave a review every time I open the app..

### 1/5 — Keeps asking me to review

### 1/5 — Keeps asking me to review

*2026-05-17, version 6.5.6*

I was enjoying it but now every time I open the app it asks me to review it. I submitted one review to make it stop but it has continued prompting me for a review every time I open it.

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading if you are not a member

*2026-02-28, version 6.3.3*

Even very simple features are paywalled. There are free trackers out there instead that let you actually track your time without constantly pestering you to join and pay.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-02-09, version 6.3.3*

Sneaky, trump-supporting, jesus-thumping, parent-shaming app company, not rooted in science. Also notice the extreme lack of diversity 🙄

### 1/5 — App needs to be upgraded

*2026-01-28, version 6.3.2*

The timer is nice but the app could be so much more. Doesn’t feel worth it to pay for anything. Wanted it so we could add friends and be able to see each other’s progress, but all it does is show total hours. The “feed” button does nothing. It also would nice if you could still see the timer running when you are not in the app. App seems outdated and not very user friendly except for the timer and calendar features.

### 1/5 — Frustrating app

*2026-01-08, version 6.3.2*

The free version of this app was really frustrating. I’m not sure if there’s an error or what, but when I initially used the app at the beginning of January, I was able to do what I needed beautifully—namely, simply track our time on one profile. However, for some reason now there’s no way to edit entries. Every single thing you click says to become a member. I do not care or want any of the membership features. I just wanted one basic timer that would time my family’s outdoor time, but it’s useless if I can’t edit time for days I didn’t use the timer or if I didn’t immediately turn off the timer.

### 1/5 — Christian propaganda

*2026-01-06, version 6.3.0*

I downloaded this app because I heard of the challenge on instagram and thought it would be fun to do with my kids since we are an all-weather family. Everything in the app is behind a paywall aside from a timer. When I went on the website to learn what the membership was I ended up on a Christian homeschool website. Just another bs propaganda machine trying to capture young children into the cult. No thank you.

### 1/5 — Minimal capabilities with paying

*2026-01-05, version 6.3.0*

The only thing I could do is use the timer without becoming a member. I couldn’t even edit my time (add, correct, etc) as those capabilities were blocked and required membership. I understand the other application capabilities requiring membership, but editing your time?

### 5/5 — This app will change your life for the better better

*2026-08-18, version 6.6.1*

This app has made me more conscious of creating outdoor memories with my family. Every year I get closer and closer to 1000 hours - last year we were at 992!! 1000 Hours Outside is an incredible podcast and movement as well. The benefits to your family cannot be overstated.

### 5/5 — Useful for tracking time

*2026-07-10, version 6.6.1*

Works great for tracking outdoor time. I’d love Apple Watch functionality, with quick start/stop features. I’d become a paying member for that.

### 5/5 — Get Outside

*2026-07-10, version 6.6.1*

The perfect companion to that 1KHO lifestyle! I wish I could be the paper tracker person - but I just can’t 🤣 so this is the best way to track our hours!

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-06-26, version 6.6.0*

Thank you for this easy, fun way to track my time outside! Reached 500 hours last year and looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish this year! A game-changer to my lifestyle for the better!

### 5/5 — Love the badges

*2026-06-25, version 6.6.0*
