App not that friendly

This app was not easy to start or learn. Some choices not working until you jump through needless hooos

Battery Drain & Poor UX

Out of all the apps that run GPS in the background, this app will nuke your battery. So much so I couldn’t wait for the survey period to be over.

The interface quality poor, especially since its focus is on user travel behavior. The interface is archaic, questions are bloated and could be streamlined, and certain inputs are buggy. For example the location nearby. The data collected would be of higher quality if the app took a simple approach of “hey you’re giving us info, let’s make it easy and delightful for you”.

Cumbersome for cyclists & runners

I exercise a lot and the app does not work well for walkers/runners/cyclist who often go out and back to a place that often does not have an address a/o travel a loop that is not the most direct route. Lots of repetitive questions.

Battery eater

I can NOT wait to get this off my phone. Quite literally eats 40% of my battery just on background activity. The amount of data they’re tracking must be akin to driving on Uber or delivering on DoorDash. Wild

Not user friendly

Not user friendly. If I change one thing that’s completely unrelated to a different trip, it makes me re-enter all of the information. Very frustrating to use.

One day only?

I hope this helps.

High Battery Usage

App is useful for tracking travel, but eats up tons of battery due to excessive location data usage. Hopefully can be fixed in an update.

Muchas preguntas

Vuelve a preguntar muchas veces lo que ya se ha puesto y no deja cerrar el día, supuestamente siempre hay algo pendiente y no

Keep track

Good way to know where you’ve been. The main irritant is that the map shows places near where you were or where you parked, you have to type the location in. Overall helpful.

Too hard to figure out

I’m using this for a one-day travel record. It started off mis-reading my departure point as my arrival. Then it wouldn’t let me name my departure point. Then when I tried to edit this trip, I created a new trip of zero minutes. I don’t have time to mess with this. I’m at work!
