Very useful but some flaws
I consider this one of my essential apps for its flexibility in tracking a range of metrics and the ability to review the history months or years later. It’s too bad it isn’t available on Android too.
Reducing my rating to 4 stars because backup to Google Drive no longer works as Google considers it unsafe. I have 2FA on. So it appears the app is not being maintained as technology evolves, even though they charge a subscription fee.

Journal, habit tracker, goal tracking, project manager....
Update 3: 6/3/25 Yep. Still love it. How easy is it to start a journal and save oil change and tires rotated today, mileage x,xxx. Or changed HVAC filter 6/3/25, and when you want to see your history of oil changes just search from the main page. Or you could make trackers for car, home, etc maintenance and set recurring alerts, the possibilities are nearly limitless. Add in the numerical tracking and easy visual graphing and it’s that much better. I sound like a commercial but no one asked me for this and I pay for it annually, just letting you know.
Update 2: 12/7/2017 Still loving app. And still finding new ways to use it. Over and over I’ll find myself using a special purpose app and realize - I can do this in Lumen. A great way to simplify life. I’ve also learned to move anything I’m not using into an archive file. It’s almost a sure thing that I’ll think of something again later that I want to track, focus on etc and it’s nice to just pull it back into my daily workflow out my archive file.
Update : still loving Lumen Trails. Been using for years and is the among the very best money I spend at $9.99/yr.
** Do like the ideas iamlmg7 has and would love to see them. Simple is good, but a little customization like background colors and ability to highlight certain lists would be awesome and while I haven’t deleted any info by accident yet, it would be too easy to do so. So maybe a lock feature, or at least a trash bin from which data could be recovered if deleted accidentally.
From a daily journal - with pics, voice memos, location - anything combo you want to add - to a simple grocery list - this thing is super powerful, and unbelievably simple at the same time - just buy, play with it, check out the screen shots on all the different editions for ideas. Create folders - personal, work, etc. inside create a folder for each project you have - then a check list or list we colored bubbles with each action item needed. Make a folder for habits - then yes/no, number value (with or without additive and/or cumulative properties), general number or dollars, to track habits - or anything. Charting makes easy to see trends. Can search for anything and stays perfectly synced between iPhone and iPad. So many uses, it really is like 10 apps on one ! Buy it ! You will be glad !

Filthy ransomware! Do not download.
After purchasing this app - it wasn’t cheap, the latest updates make you pay again and again for something you have already paid for via a subscription /ransomware model. There are no meaningful updates to justify ‘ongoing development costs’. If you value access to your data, chose a different app developer who won’t ransom it.
To make matters worse, you can now no longer back up your data to Google drive. When a backup is attempted, Google now gives the response: “This app is blocked. This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.” When contacted, the developers do not offer any viable solutions. There have been no updates to the app for years, so its security is probably way out of date.

Best App on my iPhone/iPad - Update: NO SUPPORT
I have been using Daily Tracker for several years. It has always been one of my favorite applications for reliably recording and tracking events, workouts and others, as well as reading the news, etc.
04/21/25: After having used this app for years I recently discovered problems with my iPad not being able to edit and something placing moved entries in the wrong date. I asked for help for both of these issue more than 30 days ago. No response. I can only assume they don’t care or that this is no longer supported. Deleting.

Beware - App blocked by Google
Google has blocked this app because it “tries to access sensitive data about your account”
Love This App!
I use it daily for multiple things. It helps me organize & track important stuff. The available options help personalize and coordinate entry logs. I don’t know what I’d do without it!
Not Going To Use
App hasn’t been updated for over a year. There is no way to use the app without purchasing a subscription. No free trial is available. I’m not going to buy anything just to find out if it is worth the cost. Deleting it from my phone immediately.
My Go-To App for Everything!
Love this app! I save everything here easily and in a totally logical, organized fashion. I can usually go right to whatever I need. And if I can't it has a powerful search function that gets the job done.
Took away Google access w/o warning
I have been a Daily Tracker user since 2010. The application apparently transitioned to a subscription service. However, I have never been told of this and suddenly, without warning, I have lost access to all 14 years of my Daily Tracker data automatically uploaded to Google Drive, and no new data can be uploaded. More importantly, I cannot download any of my data into local spreadsheets, as I had done before, because the application refuses to give me access to its data. I've had no response from the developers to 3 emails over the past week. Use this app at your own risk.

Best App Ever!
I use this for journaling and keeping track of everything! I would be lost without it. It is so functional and can be used for so many things.
