### 4/5 — Steigt leider ab und an aus,

*2026-05-13, version 1.9.11*

ist aber perfekt, um seine Zeit an einem Ort, z.B. Arbeitstelle nachzuweisen.

### 3/5 — Cancel

*2024-01-03, version 1.9.10*

How do I cancel trial ?

### 5/5 — Déconnecté

*2023-10-28, version 1.9.10*

Déconnecté pendant une longue période puis bloqué sur une seule adresse. Pas de corrections manuelles possibles et donc des statistiques fausses. Déception

### 5/5 — Great App! Very Useful!

*2023-08-09, version 1.9.10*

I’ve had this app for over 5yrs now and still use it to this day. I never have any issues with it. The app works great!

### 3/5 — Everything can be good, but fails

*2023-06-02, version 1.9.10*

This app (free and paid) are exactly what so many of us need. It works well and then it doesn't at all. I'm so incredibly disappointed that March 1st of this year forward failed to work until an update was pushed 3 weeks ago. Then it failed to differentiate the locations... Now my year-long project of tracking time at work locations is invalid or I have to rely on random notes indicating places and dates/time. Frustrated but will keep the app for a 2nd try in September. (if anyone knows of a more reliable app, please let me know.)

### 5/5 — Fantastic for tracking time in a specific location

*2023-05-15, version 1.9.10*

Great app and absolutely worth every penny. It is simple but works well. Logs your time spent in any place you desire, and runs in the background so you don’t need to remember to start it each time. Gives you an exportable calendar on top of all this as well.

### 5/5 — It does what you want it to

*2023-05-10*

I’ve been using this app for 7+ years and it does what I’ve expected quite well this entire time. It’s low battery consumption as well. It’s just a fantastic utility and I’m so glad I’ve had it all this time.

### 2/5 — Stopped working and no dev response

*2023-05-03, version 1.9.9*

I always liked this app but it recently stopped working for me. I contacted the support but no answer for troubleshoot tips. Hopefully it happens and I can raise my ratting soon.

### 5/5 — Bitte Update für IOS 16.4

*2023-04-04, version 1.9.9*

Läuft seit dem Update auf IOS 16.4 auf verschiedenen Geräten leider nicht mehr... 😩

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2023-01-30, version 1.9.9*

Fonctionnent très bien et les graphique sont clair et bonne option pour transférer dans l’agenda de mon mac à la maison

### 5/5 — Sehr gut!

*2022-06-03, version 1.9.9*

Da ich an sehr vielen wechselnden Arbeitsorten bin, reichen 20 Orte bei mir bei weitem nicht aus! Vielleicht könnte man die Anzahl der Orte erhöhen!

### 1/5 — Might be OK… if it worked !!

*2025-04-08, version 1.9.10*

Not sure the point of a free version apparently, as I would expect it to work. Only way to add a monitoring point is to use the locate icon, and then it worked. But you could not go to a place on the map, tap, and have it geofence that area. LAME.   At least it was free.

### 1/5 — Nie działa

*2024-11-29, version 1.9.10*

Od listopada 2024 aplikacja przestała działać

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2023-09-29, version 1.9.10*

Nachdem Rewind gut funktioniert hat, hat es leider seit 6 Monaten keinerlei Aufzeichnungen mehr gemacht. Meldung über den Support blieben unbeantwortet.

### 1/5 — Vorsicht!!!

*2023-09-07, version 1.9.10*

App funktioniert nicht mehr, kein Support

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr richtig…

*2023-06-28, version 1.9.10*

…wechselt beziehungsweise erkennt die Orte nicht mehr. 👎🏻 Schade…

### 1/5 — No longer works as of iOS 16.4

*2023-06-26*

Apple changed background updates in 16.4 and this app (and others) no longer works. Other apps have worked around the problem, but not Rewind. The developer says he updated this app for the problem, but it doesn’t work for me.

### 1/5 — App funktioniert seit Wochen nicht mehr…

*2023-05-22, version 1.9.10*

Leider funktioniert die App auf meinem iPhone seit einigen Wochen nicht mehr 😫. Keine Ahnung warum und weshalb…

### 1/5 — Worked wellish.......then nothing

*2023-05-08, version 1.9.9*

When I first loaded up told me I was in a location for 16hrs then again next day,

After that settled down.....until last week, maybe due to update it won't register anything

Was really pleased with this app now it's just rubbish

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2022-04-21, version 1.9.9*

The app only tracks places that are saved upto 20 it needs to track unknown locations as well

### 1/5 — Seit IOS Update geht die App nicht mehr

*2022-01-25, version 1.9.5*

Bisher tolle App, sehr zuverlässig. Seit einem Update zum neuen IOS erkennt die App aber leider nicht mehr ob und wann ich meine Arbeitsstätte erreiche oder verlasse. Damit ist sie unbrauchbar geworden, sehr schade!

### 5/5 — Helps with billable hours

*2026-07-10, version 1.9.12*

If you have trouble tracking time, possibly forget to log hours, this app is essential. It geofences locations and lets you know how long you were there.  It just takes advantage of what your phone already knows about you.

### 5/5 — Używam 10 rok

*2026-06-21, version 1.9.12*

W prostocie tkwi jej siła. 
Apka działa i przetrwała wszystkie aktualizacje iOS na moim iPhone.

### 5/5 — Excellent and reliable in the long run

*2026-03-26*

This app just does what it says. Been using it for many years now and it’s just super useful. Would love to have a way to tip or give some more back to the dev as this has been a great one-time purchase.

EDIT:
Many years in, this app is still rock solid and useful. 5 stars for sure and never a pain.

### 5/5 — Perfekt für Baustellen

*2025-06-14, version 1.9.11*

Super um Arbeitszeiten auf Baustellen zu erfassen

### 5/5 — Excellent and reliable in the long run

*2025-05-07*

This app just does what it says. Been using it for many years now and it’s just super useful. Would love to have a way to tip or give some more back to the dev as this has been a great one-time purchase.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-05-07, version 1.9.11*

I don’t think it makes the dev money, but I love this and glad they maintain it.

### 5/5 — Memory jogger extraordinaire

*2024-11-18, version 1.9.10*

I love this as I get too busy to remember where I’ve been.  Just leave it on and it reminds me how many hours I’m in any one place.  Easy billing and evidence for clients.

### 5/5 — Backup auf neuem Handy

*2024-06-30, version 1.9.10*

Wie kann ich auf einem neuen Handy die Back-up Datei des alten Handys einspielen?

### 5/5 — Great, reliable app!

*2023-12-27, version 1.9.10*

I am a nurse educator and work at 14 different sites. I purchased the full version of the app and it makes tracking my mileage for work effortless!

### 5/5 — Mon application préférée!

*2023-12-03, version 1.9.10*

Simplement mon application préférée depuis plusieurs années! L’ajout d’un événement dans mon calendrier rends cet outil parfait et indispensable.
