  • Bad updates

    The update from two days ago happened just after I downloaded this. Now it wont let me tap the start logging button. It is behind(but still visible) the note verbage.
  • Scary!

    Only one day and I have seen the numbers going up close to me almost on real time. Don’t overuse!
  • Issues GUI / Map Update / Map Legend iPhone os

    Want to help by using this app, however...
    1) iOS 13.3.1 on old SE model iPhone MLM52LL/A1662
    2) Location Denver, CO carrier AT&T
    3) Check Overlap - map has not updated routes I’ve taken outside of the first walk in neighborhood on 3/28. Today is 3/30 PM and nothing despite several unique trips since 3/28.
    4) can’t get the import/export/news icons - buried under For More Information visit ... box which is persistent
    5) cant access the three vertical dots upper right hand corner - it is off screen. Seems GUI is displaying thinking this is another screen size then it is... maybe my
    6) explanation /legend is required. Green targets with numbers. Red push pins. I assume Green is good, and red push pins are x-y of an encounter. Be nice to know...
    7) Not a show stopper but the extreme zoomed out view default is annoying. Think it should default to the limits of the lat longs in the overlap file. Perhaps privacy issues ...
    8) more info on what a “Hit” will look like. What info is sent to user when tracks with vector cross? I assume my “check overlap” screen will have a red circle

    Not to criticize but to help the developers. I fully support the idea behind this app and want it to work. I’m reasonably tech and this needs to be more clear and obvious in order to expand the user group. As is I would Invision installs and then STOP LOGGING or deleting the app.

  • Fantastic Idea

    Fantastic idea and I want to participate. However I agree with just about every other review you’ve gotten.
    It would be help if we could add a location when we go without our our phones or tracking devices. Hope you can get this up and working! We need it now. Go MIT!
  • Good idea but doesn’t work

    Location logging doesn’t work, it clusters locations in one spot as I move around and places them at locations I never visited. Why not just move to a Bluetooth proximity sharing like Singapore already has in place?
  • Buggy

    I’m not to excited about this app but chose to use it for what I hope is a greater good. That said it has bugs - the ‘news’ button does not work. The three buttons on the first screen - ‘Import’ ‘Export’ ‘News’ are partially hidden and hard to make visible. If you go to check overlap the text below ‘Show Me Trace Overlap’ which explains what data is used and where data comes from is partially hidden and you cannot bring it to the forefront. There is no explanation of the number in the circle on the map. This needs work.

  • Yes!

    Leave it to MIT to solve real world problems with realistic solutions. Happy to be running this app and throw in with the rest of my community.
  • Bump this to top of charts

    I know reviews help. Let’s use our phone addiction to actually do some good.
  • Import & Export Instructions are NOT Complete‼️

    I am trying to import my location data from Google.

    There are multiple data formats from which to choose and multiple locations to which I may download the data … WHICH DATA FORMAT AND WHICH DOWNLOAD LOCATION do I need to specify for the import to work?

    I am trying to Export my location data to help in the larger good. Export just takes me to the standard Share Sheet … HOW DO I GET MY DATA BACK TO MIT??

  • App support?

    I don’t see any way to contact devs with questions. I’m not seeing anything on overlap. Does that mean I haven’t crossed paths? Hard to believe - living in Sacramento. Maybe not many people using this?
