## What is Life Cycle?

Life Cycle automatically keeps track of your time and presents your life sorted into slices. It shows you your daily activities, places you go, and who you spend time with. Life Cycle weekly journal provides personalized insights and clarity to your week passed. Start each week with a look back. Remember where you’ve been and vision where you’re going.

Whether you’re just curious of how your time is spent or looking to make a change, Life Cycle is your daily companion, providing you with all the information and insights you need. What’s more - it uses only 1% of your phone’s battery while it seamlessly does the work.

FREE FEATURES

• Automatic - Life Cycle works in the background, recording and sorting what you do as you go about your daily business.
• Less than 1% battery - Life Cycle uses less than 1% of your battery per day as it runs in the background.
• Weekly journal - Weekly insight to activities, accompanied by photos tied to moments passed.
• From a day to a year - view your life day by day, week by week, month by month or even year by year.
• Apple Health - Fully integrated. Imports all activities, mindfulness and sleep data.
• Friends - Connect with your friends on Facebook and see who you’re spending time with, what you’re doing and where.
• Sleep Cycle connection - For accurate sleep data, connect with Sleep Cycle alarm clock through Apple Health. (Life Cycle only reads data from Health, it does not share any data. It reads Sleep Analysis and Steps data.)

PREMIUM FEATURES

• Connect to your Sleep Cycle account - If you have an online backup account with Sleep Cycle, Life Cycle will let you know how your daily habits affect your sleep quality score.
• Backup - Keep your data safe with our backup system. Never worry about losing your Life Cycle logs again.
• Graphs - Beyond the donuts, Life Cycle shows you what you do with your time in detailed graphs for deeper analysis. The visuals gives you insight to if you're spending your time on what’s most important to you.
• Compare trends - see if you’re dropping in sleep hours, if you’re working too much or if you’ve taken longer walks this week. Compare trends over the weeks, months or years.

BATTERY CONSUMPTION
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Life Cycle does not use the GPS in the background, but instead relies on cell tower and Wi-Fi locations. As a result, it consumes less than 1% of your battery per day, when the app runs in the background.

REQUIREMENTS

• Life Cycle needs to run in the background to be able to record your data. It only uses 1% of your battery per day when doing so.
• You need to carry your phone with you, for Life Cycle to accurately record and interpret your activities.
• Wi-Fi should be enabled on your phone for tracking to work.

Should you choose to subscribe to Life Cycle Premium, the purchase will be charged to your iTunes account. You can manage or cancel your auto-renewable subscription by entering the user settings in iTunes after the purchase. The subscription will be auto-renewed 24 hours before the subscription period ends, with the same kind of subscription you already bought, to the same price. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

### 1/5 — Scam don’t buy

*2026-08-19, version 3.2.7*

Thought I would try the premium features as it was offering a free trial and cancel anytime 

And on checking this morning I’ve been charged straight away before I could try any free trial 

Have requested a full refund from Apple and gonna delete this scam app

### 2/5 — 画面表示せず

*2026-08-12*

暫く使用してなかったのですが、起動しても画面表示が真っ白になってしまい操作不能です。対処方のご教示をお願いします。

### 3/5 — Used to love it

*2026-08-03, version 3.2.7*

I used to love this app until it quit logging my location. I tried all the usual remedies like turning the phone on and off, reloading the app, and nothing worked. The app simply stopped working. Customer service was unhelpful.  It keeps reading different locations as “home”.  I only have one home.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2026-07-30, version 3.2.7*

Been using the app for many years. Gives a good overview of how you spend your time. Great for people who love statistics, give a lot of data, or a quick overview. I would love to be able to see my stats for a selectable time frame.

### 3/5 — Great app but…

*2026-07-22, version 3.2.7*

Can we get more colors & activity emoji/icons to choose from? I’ve been using this app for a good 3-4 years now and that’s really the only complaint I have.

### 1/5 — Paid features broken, no support

*2026-06-21, version 3.2.7*

I’ve been a paid Pro member of Life Cycle for around seven years and am extremely disappointed with how a bug report has been handled.
In January 2026, I reported an issue affecting the Pro graphs feature, where historical trend graphs were no longer displaying correctly after the start of 2026. Rather than investigating or fixing what appears to be a genuine bug, I received a response stating that the team was “pretty happy” with the current state of the app and was taking its time before considering future changes.
Six months later, the issue still hasn’t been addressed.
For a subscription app, particularly one charging long-term paying users, this level of customer service is disappointing. The response gave the impression that user-reported issues are not a priority, even when they affect existing functionality rather than new feature requests.
It also raises concerns about the long-term viability of the app. If known bugs impacting paid features remain unresolved for months without meaningful communication or action, it’s difficult to have confidence in the future support and maintenance of the platform.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2026-06-14, version 3.2.7*

I lived this app but about two days ago it stopped working correctly. It tracked me and still shows in at the same place. Says that “the position is preliminary”. But keeps saying that in doing the same activity. I was traveling for work in another state, visiting customers   Then I took them to dinner then back to my hotel and it never changed. Now I’m home and it says I’m still visiting my customer. Please help.

### 2/5 — Locations

*2026-05-29, version 3.2.7*

The app is taking forever to load locations, please fix it

### 5/5 — Question

*2026-05-27, version 3.2.7*

What about people who work from home? It basically only says for like majority of the time im at home

### 1/5 — Update again 3/27/26 How does one report an abandoned app??

*2026-04-27, version 3.2.7*

I don’t know when I wrote the first one review, but it is sucking even more lately. Abandoned???

I’ve used the free app for a few years and have considered upgrading, but every time I almost do it, I realize that it is totally unsupported. No criticisms or questions are ever answered by the developer. Updates are years apart and weak. I will stick with the free one until it finally pisses me off completely! Done!
