  • Too complex

    I simply cannot figure out how to use it.
  • Needs better howto and help info

    No idea how to add health authorities. This app needs much better howto and help info so users know what to do with it, how to configure and operate it. Seems potentially useful.
  • Data import not intuitive home screen always says not enough data. No support

    Tried numerous time to import locations data from google with out success. Documentation is thin on how to do this . Preferred file type . What to do if you encounter problems . Good idea but need polish to be useful
  • Great Idea - Poor Execution

    Always On makes no sense. There are very specific times - vector points - that need to be tracked. Please put more resources into developing a more rigorous and robust app.
  • No support

    Is this app working as intended anywhere; for anyone?

    I emailed various staff and received two replies. I provided feedback over at least two updates, again no response.

    Incomplete instructions such as : select trusted authority but no explanation or source list for one near by. And the import your google movements is useless without cheater instructions. At the top the app states: open this place again and the download will automatically import.

    So get with it team or go back to gaming. Thanks

  • Needs work

    Great at logging my movement, keeping my data private, and exporting these data if I ever need to do that. UI needs work. It also crashes when I try to view my movements on the map on my iPhone 8.
  • Huh

    Doesn’t work, confusing instructions, map lags and shows no info
  • Good idea, still lots of bugs

    Every time I try to open the map it crashes/closes the app before loading anything.

    I think this app is still in beta stage, so I’m expecting bugs. However it’s not very usable at this stage. I’m keeping it so it’s still recording my locations Incase I need them, and hopefully the next updates will make it useful.

    The previous version didn’t crash, but it didn’t display any data on the map either.

  • Great Idea with poor system workout

    It looks as an App done by some MIT students in their free time. I can not see my routes, and the intersection information, as tested against my friends here - are simply nonexistent. Reporting is not obvious and data fidelity overall seems unreliable.
  • Does not Import Past Locations

    It downloads my past locations but will not upload them to the app.

    Without location history you get a message that says, “Not enough data,” which makes the app useless.
