Awesome
I really like this app! It’s great! The only thing is, I’m a teenager so it’s hard for me to do some of the things in the app and on top of that, know what our bills are. I think they should make this app more teen/kid friendly.
Some room for growth
Great app, great concept, big advocate… just needs a compromise for battery life! Tracking background kills my phone battery, if its not plugged in overnight I’ll go to bed with 100 and wake up with 25. Im not going anywhere when I’m sleeping, so it’d be appreciated if the developers could find a way around that. Also agree with what a few other reviews are saying— needs more actionable items! Activism, washing clothes on cold, composting… ect!

Doesn’t Work on iPhone SE (2nd Gen)
I’m a top tier subscriber, and the app doesn’t even open for me anymore. Concept is great, but please fix the app.

Love this app! It is easy to use and it helps to track your carbon footprint.
Great idea, but superficial engagement
At first glance LiveGreen is amazing! It is nicely designed with an easy user experience. The initial footprint assessment is very simple and interactive. You get excited by the idea of planting trees with certified projects by collecting points. Finally, there is a community feature where you are required to post a picture to prove you completed actions. If you walk/hike a lot, I highly recommend this app so you can plant trees for free.
So where does LiveGreen go wrong?
1. No learning: with only three actions a day that repeat often, there’s not a lot of learning or drive to make impactful sustainable decisions. Often times the actions are things people are already taking rendering the app (no offense) useless.
2. Accountability: I see many people take pictures unrelated to the suggested actions just to get points to plant trees. Sure you can report it, but there’s a looot of people to report.
3. Inaccurate tracking: I started with a footprint of 5.5 tons of CO2, somehow that has reduced to 4 tons without me really doing anything. There is no explanation as to what I did to reduce this. In reality, my footprint is more like 9 tons.
These three combined make a dangerous mix for people looking for authentic sustainability engagement. Not a deal breaker for everyone, but can definitely use some improvement.
