  • Love the app, but could use a little work

    This app is great in that I am able to reference how much time I spend in certain places. It’s fairly intuitive in how it assumes the activity you are doing at a particular place, however the locations could be more accurate; I end up having to manually edit the the entry because it would get the location and activity wrong. Seems to be a wide proximity. Also, it misses a lot of quick stops I make, but would still like to have kept track of (even though it’s less than 5 min). A nice feature would be if it could tell you how many steps were taken for/at each activity/location. Overall a very useful app with the potential to be ideal (for my needs).

  • Nice!

    I’ve been using this app going on almost 3 full years (August will be the end of year 3), and I have to say it’s pretty legit! It’s not crazy fancy, and there aren’t so many bells and whistles that I don’t know what to do with it. It’s simple to understand, and once it gets your daily habits and rituals down it’s pretty self-sufficient. I don’t live an exciting life, so I don’t have to go in and update uncategorized locations very often, but even doing that is simple. All in all, if you’re interested in tracking where you go and what you do, and seeing your trends, I’d say get it! What can you lose?
    As a side note, I don’t have the sleep cycle app. I’ve used it, but I’m just bad at keeping a smart alarm set and/or near me, but I imagine using that could also be helpful for this app!

  • Simply the best time tracking

    Such a great. So many time tracking apps are focused solely on what you’re doing, and force you to manually tell it what you’re doing and when. That doesn’t feel like time tracking at all. That feels like time waisting. This app does something pretty obvious, and it does it so well. It tracks your time based on location. You’re at work, that must mean you’re doing work, you’re driving somewhere that must mean you’re driving in a car. It makes assumptions for you based on what you do at different locations. If you work from home one day, just go in and tap the plus icon to change that home time to worked time. I’m sure they’re people who need to track projects and tasks at a much more micro level. But for me, getting info such as I normally eat lunch at a certain time on Tuesdays or the last time I was at a friends house or even that I got less sleep than I normally do is such a great value for money. I love that this app lets me look back easily on what I did and when I did it with very little work or effort. Great app that offers incredible insights.

  • Great...but simple fixes needed.

    The most complicated features seem to work well. Tracks your location and provides easy way to categorize. I’d like if it didn’t count something I did at 1am as “today” considering that’s really yesterday. It should count anything before sleeping as yesterday.

    The other issue is the categories. There are some built in categories and most I’ll never use. And I need more colors to categorize since this is how the pie chart displays info.

    Hopefully the app fixes some of the simple things like this because it’s a killer app. Nice to not have to manually start and stop a timer to track what I’m doing throughout the day. Nice mike high view of how I spend my time.

  • Has potential

    I enjoy the idea of this app. However it really needs the Apple Watch part be able to record activities. You could open it, select what activity you’re about to start and then have a stop watch essentially going while you started this “activity”. This would make it not only so I could easily track and figure out my day better but help me keep on task, if I look down at my watch with the ticker going I can remember what I’m doing. Would be even better if you could somehow map your house and you could mark what rooms are what do you can see how much time you spend in each room, and take advantage of the time you’re in that room to do more things within the time you spend there. Like if I was in the kitchen, maybe baking and it could help me remember to do the things I need to do while in that room - wash dishes, put dishes away, take recycles out and so on. This maybe far fetched but it would be a dream for me and I do think this app could some day be awesome. For now I just find it interesting to know about the activities it can track.

  • Feature request

    I really like this app since it’s interesting to see where your time goes. One feature request I have to add ability to tag people inside activities. For example, I go to dinner with my friends. I want to be able to say who was at that dinner. And then see a breakdown of how much time I spend with a particular person if I tap their name.

    I currently create a category with a person’s name, but that doesn’t work if there’s multiple people at an activity.

    Basically, I not only want to see what and how much time I spend on activities, I also want to see who I am doing activities with and how much time I’m spending with individual people.

  • Fun While it Lasted

    Do not make a mistake when editing an activity or location! It may change your entire history. Searching Help for this issue is futile. I work from home, so I have to manually enter my work hours every workday. I tried to fix a location error because it thought I spent nearly two hours at a restaurant when the majority of that time was spent at a nearby gym, and it wouldn’t let me pick the gym location. One thing led to another, it snowballed, and now it looks like I worked over 2,000 hours last month! My entire history is wrong now. This app gave good insight and some motivation when it was correct, but it’s not worth the time and frustration fixing location/activity inaccuracies for the Premium subscription. I’m cancelling and researching other options.

  • Organize your day!

    This app has really helped me keep track of my daily life. I also like that you can take notes on the different categories on your donut. I gave it 4 stars because I would like to be able to classify the section with more than one activity. Example: I go to the gym, and I use my Apple Watch to track my cardio workouts. But at the end of the day I’ll checkout my day on the app and it has 2 different section for my gym workout. It would be awesome if I could classify the activity as the gym then maybe have a subcategory to specify the workout that was done. If this happens i will be happy to update my review to 5 stars because this app deserves it!

  • The app you didn’t even know you needed

    I downloaded this app not really sure I would end up keeping it, but after trying it out, it’s super interesting. It logs all your locations and activities and makes sense of them. Then daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, gives you insight on the locations and activities you’ve spent your time on. It’s cool to see that new restaurants and places you visit are automatically logged.

    I kept showing it off to my boyfriend every now and then until he finally made me download it to his phone too. I like how there is plenty to do without a premium subscription but premium does give you more specific insight and statistics which are cool.

    I almost always have a suggestion when reviewing apps but I really can’t think of one. They even have an Apple Watch app!

  • Could really use some improvements

    Usually during the day I leave my house more than once. One time at 7:00 AM to go to school, and another at 5:30 to go to rehearsal for my schools show that we’re working on. (Which is also held at the school) For one thing, when I go to school for 7 hrs the app does great and tells me exactly how long I was at school, but when I go to school again later that day, it just adds it to the current 7 hrs I already had instead of having it separately. Also leaving the house to go to school at 5:00, that’s when the app thinks I’m going to school for an actual day rather than rehearsal, so the app will say “you left at 7:03 today, which is earlier than your usual 5:00 PM.

    So basically just a few minor defects that kind of get in the way so if you could look into it that would be great, thanks! :)
