User reviews

Too complex

I simply cannot figure out how to use it.

Needs better howto and help info

No idea how to add health authorities. This app needs much better howto and help info so users know what to do with it, how to configure and operate it. Seems potentially useful.

Data import not intuitive home screen always says not enough data. No support

Tried numerous time to import locations data from google with out success. Documentation is thin on how to do this . Preferred file type . What to do if you encounter problems . Good idea but need polish to be useful

Great Idea - Poor Execution

Always On makes no sense. There are very specific times - vector points - that need to be tracked. Please put more resources into developing a more rigorous and robust app.

No support

Is this app working as intended anywhere; for anyone?

I emailed various staff and received two replies. I provided feedback over at least two updates, again no response.

Incomplete instructions such as : select trusted authority but no explanation or source list for one near by. And the import your google movements is useless without cheater instructions. At the top the app states: open this place again and the download will automatically import.

So get with it team or go back to gaming. Thanks

FAQ

What does Private Kit do?

Private Kit is a privacy-focused application that enables you to log your GPS trails directly on your own device. It records your location history locally, ensuring that your data is never shared with anyone unless you explicitly choose to export it.

How does Private Kit protect my privacy?

The app's core design is 'privacy-first.' All your logged GPS data is stored exclusively on your device and cannot be accessed by anyone, including the developers. You retain complete control over your location information.

How much data does Private Kit store?

Private Kit is very efficient with storage. It logs your location once every five minutes and stores 28 days of data using less than 100KB of space, which is less than a single picture. This ensures minimal impact on your device's storage.

Can I use my logged data elsewhere?

Yes, you can manually export your location logs. This allows you to import the data into other projects and applications, giving you flexibility in how you use your recorded GPS trails.

What permissions does Private Kit require?

To function correctly, Private Kit requires access to your device's location services and motion tracking sensors. These permissions are necessary for the app to accurately log your GPS trails.
