It's amazing to use the app and then become aware of how much you waste. However, I don't know how many people my age would download it and have time or even remember to enter everything into the app. However, I think it's a great start and fantastic idea! ### 4/5 — Good idea but may be hard to keep up with *2015-12-11, version 3.3* I think the app is a great way to make a consumer aware of their choices and make them take responsibility for their actions. The idea is great, however I don't think I could necessarily keep up with it as easily as I can keep up with a food or exercise tracking app (which are easier to use in my opinion). I think the app is a great tool to spread awareness and I do believe something like this will be more popular as people get more educated about the environment and want to take action. ### 4/5 — Great idea but may be hard to keep up with *2015-12-11, version 3.0* I think the app is a great way to make a consumer aware of their choices and make them take responsibility for their actions.

I think the app is a great tool to spread awareness and I do believe something like this will be more popular as people get more educated about the environment and want to take action. ### 4/5 — Good idea, may need improvements *2015-12-11, version 3.3* I think that an app to track individual’s carbon footprint is a great idea, especially because this is a growing issue that is continuing to gain more awareness. People are now realizing how much their actions are having a detrimental effect on the environment. A majority of people know that their actions are harmful, yet they don’t know what they can do to help the problem. This app provides a great resource to educate people on the impacts of their decisions and what they can do to help. One problem with this app however, is that it may grow tedious to use. It’s a great idea, but having to constantly take time out of busy schedules to individually enter in all the data will grow tiresome. There may need to be improvements made to make this process easier, otherwise it is likely that use will be high when first downloaded and then steadily taper off. ### 4/5 — My Earth Feedback *2015-12-03, version 3.3* I used the My Earth app for over a month and the features helped me become more aware of my daily water, electricity, reducing, and travel practices. I became more conscious of my energy decisions throughout the week and made more of an effort to eliminate waste. I never realized how easy it could be to cut back on water and electricity usage. This app helps you realize the negative impact that your actions can have on the environment. I challenged myself to cut back each day and tried to improve my personal practices. Overall, this app is a great tool if you want to analyze your energy savings and do your part to be a waste eliminator. ### 4/5 — MyEarth App Review *2015-12-02, version 3.3* This is a great app for anyone to have on their phone that wants to track their carbon savings. There is many helpful tools to help people understand what they can do to help the environment. It is also a great idea that people can track and see the impact they are making. Making small changes everyday can really help the environment in the long run. I liked how the app was a fun and interactive, it made me want to keep using it more and continue to track my savings! The only thing that gave me trouble was the navigation through the app, but after playing around with it for a while I got the hang of it! ### 4/5 — Much Needed *2015-12-02, version 3.3* This app is revolutionary and simple to use. By entering activities performed throughout the day, My Earth gives suggestions on how to be more environmentally conscious through water and electricity use, recycling, traveling and even food consumption. The activities performed are easy to catalog and the users carbon impact is tracked and able to be viewed over all days activities were performed. It also tells me which week was my best and worst for carbon saving activities. Great app! ### 4/5 — MyEarth App *2015-12-02, version 3.3* The concept behind the app is great - it gets individuals thinking about what they do in their daily life and what ways the can improve their activities to help the environment. One thing that would improve this app would be a tutorial when it is first downloaded to better understand how to get started. ### 4/5 — MyEarth *2015-10-21, version 3.1* I think the app is a really good concept and it can help people become more environmentally conscious. It's a little confusing to navigate at first but you just have to play around with it. ### 4/5 — Cool idea *2015-09-24, version 3.0* This app is a really cool idea and does work well there are just a few ways it could be improved. It would be a little easier to use if once you added an action it was taken off the list and some kind of alarm to remind you to update your usage would probably make more people keep steady track of their carbon footprint. Overall a good app! ### 4/5 — MyEarth review *2015-09-23, version 3.0* I think this app has great potential. It is easy to use and the reminders are truly helpful. I think something to improve is to make the app have an interactive environment. I think it will be both motivating and interesting to see what other people around me are saving/ what they're doing to save. I truly enjoy using this app daily. ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-09-16, version 3.0* I really like the idea of this app. It makes it easy to be aware of everyday activities that may not be the most environmentally friendly. It also gives ways to improve daily activities that are very simple. Sarah H. 9064971212 ### 4/5 — Great idea! *2015-09-16, version 3.0* This app is a great idea and a great thing to have on your phone. It is really interesting to see the effect you have on the environment and to make a change depending on the results of the activities in the app. It allows you to track your carbon footprint and how you are positively or negatively effecting the environment. Great idea! Definitely will be using this in the future. ### 4/5 — Solid Idea *2015-09-15, version 3.0* This app is very useful for individuals that want to try and improve our environment and our earth. It has some great activities that can be preformed by individuals and in the end each individual can see how much they are helping the environment. Most people don't realize how much of an impact little things like he activities on this app can have. By using this app individuals can track their progress and see how many gallons of water one saves, along with how many trees one has saved. If more and more people learn about the app, it has potential to help our earth. ### 4/5 — Great! *2015-09-14, version 3.0* This app is easy to navigate and includes a lot of comprehensive information - and the graphics are cute! The only suggestion I would make is to find a way to get people to want to use it because those who are environmentally conscious are likely already doing many of these activities and will want to use this app, but it would be more useful for those less environmentally conscious or less aware of their carbon footprint. ### 4/5 — MyEarth Review *2015-09-13, version 3.0* I think this app is perfect for those looking for everyday activities that can help reduce your carbon footprint and help our environment. The app is really easy to navigate and gives excellent suggestions of activities you can do to track your carbon savings. I also like that it keeps track of your overall total savings and tells you how much water you've saved and how much carbon you've saved in terms of trees saved. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — No use *2015-12-08, version 3.3* I personally did not find this app very helpful due to its disorganized manner. It was hard to find any "green" activity easily, with out a complicated search. I think that the app itself had good potential and had a good idea, but the way it is set up doesn't make me want to log all my green activities. Overall, I was not super happy with this app and don't find further use for it. ### 2/5 — Review *2015-09-22, version 3.0* Personally, I didn't really enjoy using this app. It's not really clear what the purpose of use is and there was no motivation for me to stay on track of my data inputs. ### 2/5 — Cool but needs work! *2015-09-08, version 3.0* Although this application was created to better the environment I believe it is too simple. It doesn't really explain much about other global environmental impacts. However, I do enjoy how user friendly it is and how you can track you impact in a cool chart. ### 3/5 — MyEarth V1 *2015-12-12, version 3.3* While this app is easy to use and easy to understand it's very easy to cheat. It would take a person very committed to tracking their carbon emissions to use this app as everything must be entered manually. Likewise there are only set items to choose, you can't enter your own actions. So while I would be curious to see my reduced carbon emissions I couldn't stay committed to tracking it with this app. ### 3/5 — MyEarth Review *2015-12-10, version 3.3* The app is helpful in showing ways to decrease resource consumption through little daily habits. It also shows your progress and makes visualizing your impact easy. However it takes a long time to enter the information. I don't see myself using it daily. ### 3/5 — Rewarding but not interesting *2015-12-09, version 3.3* After using this app for a few weeks I have developed a better understanding on how much energy I use each day. I enjoyed the calculation tab that directed me to links where I could inform myself about carbon emissions. I found it rewarding to see my overall carbon savings over a period of time. Unfortunately I found it difficult to commit to constantly tracking my savings and became uninterested quickly. ### 3/5 — App Review *2015-12-01, version 3.3* I think the idea behind this app is great. It makes users more aware of their daily energy usage and how to possibly reduce it. However, I do not always remember the things I should do to conserve energy, so it would be a good idea to possibly implement reminders or alerts so consumers are always aware of ways they can reduce their daily energy usage. ### 3/5 — Good Idea... *2015-10-15, version 3.0* I think this app is a good start but I think it could be made a lot better. I like how you can measure your carbon footprint through this. It also makes you think about whether you do things like turn the lights off, unplug your appliances, etc. It's a good app for somebody who likes to save the environment but for someone who isn't that into "being green", I think it's too much. Personally, I wouldn't go onto the app every single time I unplugged something or filled up a reusable water bottle. I wish somehow it would be easier to track these things and it would be a better app. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2015-09-25, version 3.0* This app is a great way for the environmentally-conscious to try to keep track of how they are preserving the environment as well as get ideas to do so. However, I don't think the directions for the app are very clear. I was confused when it prompted me to choose activities I participated in. I thought it meant only that day but it actually meant any activities that I sometimes participate in that I can then log as I complete them on a daily basis. It could use some more directions and activity options to make it a more comprehensive application. ### 3/5 — Overall good *2015-09-07, version 3.0* What struck me the most about this app was how the activities seem so easy to complete and very college-student friendly. It was eye opening to see how such simple tasks can make such a difference. However, the app could use a better design that is more attractive to the eye.

It is super easy to use and a great way to track the impact you have on the environment. If you are a forgetful person you can even set daily reminders to track your activities, however I couldn’t get this feature to work the first time I used it. Prior to this app I never realized how much carbon was used from leaving a charger plugged in while it’s are in use or even from doing a load of laundry. I have definitely become more environmentally conscious. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-10-19, version 3.0* I was looking to become more Eco friendly but didn't know where to start. This app was a great guide and taught me how to decrease my carbon footprint and have fun while doing so! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-09-24, version 3.0* This app is great! It allows you to really get a feel for how much you can actually save and what an impact it makes!

The app promotes and encourages users to do more environmentally friendly activities. Users can improve their level standing by being environmentally friendly. ### 5/5 — Simply convenient *2015-09-06, version 3.0* Easy to use and helpful reminder on how to conserve the environment. Applicable to our everyday lives. Recommendation: I wish it could sync with my fitbit so it could measure how much I'm conserving by walking or taking the stairs. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-09-04, version 3.0* MyEarth app is not only easy to navigate and comprehend, but also serves as a great source of knowledge of how to became environmentally responsible citizen. The best feature of the app is one's ability to choose the daily activities, commit to its performance and personally keep track of progress. The power of building an awareness on how to be environmentally friendly cannot be underestimated. The app allows one vividly see how they can protect and nurture mother Earth by taking the smallest steps towards global improvement while performing basic daily tasks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
