Kind of useless
I’ve been using the paid version for almost a year now. Yes it does track where you spend your time and that sort of peaked my curiosity when I first started using the app but after almost 11 months what does it really mean? I didn’t need an app to tell me most of my life is spent at work or commuting to and from work. Maybe if this info was surprising to someone maybe they could use it to make a positive change in their life but really it’s just kind of silly, especially when you are paying a premium. Anyway, I’m sure this info is being passed onto 3rd parties for whatever use to advertise stuff to us. Anyway the best advice is to save your cash, pay off some debts and get outside, enjoy life without tracking, breathe fresh air and spend time talking with someone instead of tracking useless data on your phone.Show lessRebelboat
What happened?
I’ve had this app since late 2016 and I’ve loved it. It’s great to see all sorts of trends and to keep track of my work hours or how often I end up at Target. For the last month or two, my locations are getting stuck, like others have mentioned. It logged my location from 11pm-730am as the Tim Hortons I go to every morning on my way to work (for months). I didn’t get there til 730, yet I slept there? It’s incredibly frustrating to go in and manually change this, and THEN, I’m going to have a “home” location at the Tim Hortons it’ll pick up every morning that’ll I’ll inevitably have to change. And it knew I got home last night at 11pm, yet didn’t log my location til the next day? I’m irritated by this. It’s been getting stuck on random roads for hours and, when that happens, I have an inaccurate day. I thought maybe it was because I wasn’t using my phone for it to “pick up” my location. Well, I checked the weather this morning at home, so I know gps knew where I was. Please fix this!!Show lesskokokaylee
Stuck Locations, Poor Support
I want to like this app, but it keeps getting “stuck” at locations. Right now it tells me I have been at the pharmacy for the last 21 hours and counting. I stopped there yesterday for 5 minutes and then went home, where I have been ever since. The pharmacy is 2 miles from my house. I can try to fix this once the app decides I’ve left the pharmacy, but I will lose my auto-logged sleep. This happens at least once a week. At least 3 times I have become “stuck” at stoplights or other random points on roads.
The first time this happened I got “stuck” at a gas station for 72 hours. I emailed for help, and I was told to update the app and iOS. Both were already up to date. So they told me to reset ALL Location & Privacy Settings on my phone. No. Not happening. I have similar tracking apps and they are just fine. The second time I emailed about the problem I didn’t receive a response.
I’m really surprised, I’d expect better from the creators of Sleep Cycle.Show lessTiffany Fuchsia
Potentially useful, definitely interesting, but needs more options to be worth premium fees
I highly recommend this app if you’re looking for a free chance to see snapshots of how your time is utilized on a large scale over time. I would like to see some more features incorporated to make this app truly great.
Most importantly, I’d love to have the option of customizing which smaller activities will be rolled into commute/transportation activities. My ~1 hour at the the gym shouldn’t always get rolled in to my drive home from work. However, it makes perfect sense that stopping to pick the kids up from daycare or getting gas on the way is rolled in. I’d also like to see a larger selection of thumbnails for activities, as well as a total color palette option for activity icons.
Conceptually, this is a great app, especially for being free. But, it needs some more polishing before I’ll purchase the premium service.Show lessSouljaboi05
Really Awesome, Very Helpful for Me
I absolutely adore this app. I told a couple friends about it and they love it, too. Some people I’ve talked to think it’s creepy that I use an app that tracks my every move, but I’m the only one with access to this information and it doesn’t use my locations and activities to give me those “targeted ads” you see on Facebook and Google. I have a really bad memory, and for a long time it bothered me that I couldn’t remember what I did or where I went on a certain day. This app solves that problem for me and I honestly think it’s the most useful app I’ve ever had. Now I can easily access dates of Doctor’s appointments, weekend trips, events, and other things that are important for me to know. I like to add notes to describe what I did when I was at a certain location or doing a certain activity like hanging out with my friends - that way I can go back whenever I want and reminisce about a really fun night that I had, even if I’d forgotten about it.Show lessAnnMarie1621
Great but can still be improved
I love this app, I've been working two jobs over the summer and it's helped me keep track of how many hours I've been working and how much time I've spent driving or sitting at home. There are still a few areas that can be improved however. The weekly view would be way better if it updated each day instead of at the end of every week. The statistics can sometimes be really stupid, it'll tell me I've slept 6% more on a Sunday or something like that, who gives a crap about 6%? it's tiny. I think it would also be a good idea for there to be a map that shows your daily activities like the google maps timeline. Lastly I think it should track the routes you take each day.
Update: After recent updates the weekly view now gets updated automatically, the statistics are much better, but I really think the map showing your activities would be a really good idea. I also think that the donut should be more like a timeline, in order, rather than chunks of different activities throughout your day.Show lessFUTUREpilot267
Needs a few changes
I’ve been trying out the free trail for a few weeks, and I love the idea behind this app so far. However, I will not be paying for premium and don’t see myself sticking even to the free version because of a few small bugs that irritate me. First, there are some bugs with this app tracking location. It can sometimes take a couple days for it to pop up that I was in an area or it won’t show up at all, then I have to enter it manually (which is both annoying and inaccurate). Second, why can’t I edit the activities already in the app? I don’t need a lunch and dinner option, just a “food” option. I could create my own, but it still irritates me to see the other options cluttering up my activities. Third, an activity at a uncategorized location will have a general area on a map tagged to it. But once I put in a custom name for the location, sometimes the location is untagged? Fourth, I’d like to be able to start an activity in the app somehow and stop it manually. Rather than having to remember my start and stop times and enter it after I finish if I want to manually create an activity. Finally, it would be nice to have more color options and be able to view my day in chronological order as well as by category. Overall the concept behind this app is great but I’m going to delete it because the execution makes the app more difficult to use than it’s insights are worth.Show lesspepe's child
Pointless waste of data
I downloaded this app in conjunction with their alarm clock app. After about two weeks of using it, I found the data collected by the app pointless and if no real value. I was under the impression that with some of the data points collected, I would be able to identify problem areas in my time management. This was not the case, and I fond myself staring at a pie chart with a bunch of random useless numbers. The inability to properly categorized activities makes some of the data collected inaccurate, for example I am a rideshare driver, however the app lumps on my driving into one category transportation it doesn’t allow you to take into consideration what is ride share related or personal use. Overall I found this app a waste of money, data, and my personal time that I wasted trying to figure it out.Show lessCVOG0
Great alternate use for people who work on-site!
This app initially intrigued me for its intended purpose of visualizing where you spend your time, but I quickly fell in love with it for another reason.
At the end of the day I can check this app to get a general idea of when I arrived at and left a client site if I neglected to otherwise write that down. I will also occasionally sweep back over a few days in the app checking locations and find a place where I had forgotten I needed to bill for a client visit.
I’ve even gone back over a day reassembling my path from place to place to derive where I left a coat.
Because of how I’ve come to use this app I wish there were a view that showed sequentially where you went in a given day, perhaps as an option to make the pie graph render like a wall clock instead of consolidating all instances of work and home together. Otherwise I love this app and happily did the in-app purchase thing since it has helped me recoup a ton of otherwise unaccounted billable time since I started using it last December.Show lessQuadralateral
The cycle of my life in a day👍🏼👍🏼
How can I put it? I like it!!!😊👍🏼. If it doesn't know where you went it let's you put that place in with the color you pick and post of shapes like weights if you where exercising some place it could place in. This help me know how long it take me to go to work and back home and how long it is as I'm at work. You guy's that put this App. together I like a lot!!!😊😊😊😊😊I say anything more then I enjoy this App.!!😉👍🏼😉👍🏼what can I say I just think it's the "BEST APP. OUT!!" If any one wants to know how long it take them to get from point A to point B in a time frame on this day it helps! Get it helps!!🏆 All I can say again is this App. RULES!!!😉😃👏🏼👏🏼Show lessBowler girl strike
