### 5/5 — Au top

*2025-12-07*

Grâce a cette application je peux tous mes déplacements et voir en temps réel ce que je fais de mon temps. 
Avec l’historique je vois clairement la répartition de mes visites et de leurs durées

**Developer response:** Merci de votre soutien. Rond continuera de déployer de nouvelles fonctionnalités.

### 5/5 — My Fav Journal

*2025-11-19*

I couldn’t be more thankful for this journal app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We'll keep up improving with new features.

### 5/5 — 建议新增功能如下

*2025-10-07*

可以加一个历史去过哪些地方的总和，类似地图软件里的足迹功能

另一个就是路线功能经常丢失或者没有捕捉到数据，隔壁另一款就做的很好，建议优化

/更新，游记时间能不能做一个以年为单位的，想看全年的足迹，3个月还是觉得太少，然后就是这次去日本玩，但是路线图却没有加载出来，不知道为什么

**Developer response:** 你好，由于 Rond 不在后台运行，它不会时刻读取设备位置，而你看到的模拟路线是根据地图数据绘制的。正因如此，Rond 可以非常节能地运行。如有轨迹记录的需求，目前市面上已有相当多 App（世界迷雾、足迹等）。考虑到运行性能，我们暂无计划后台记录设备轨迹。

### 5/5 — Wunderbare App

*2025-09-21*

Schöne App welche zuverlässig im Hintergrund aufzeichnen wo man sich wie lange aufgehalten hat. Macht immer wieder Spaß die Daten anzuschauen. 
Würde mir eine Verbesserung an der Backup-Funktion wünschen um z.B. auch Travellogs evtl. als JSON mit in ein Backup inkludieren zu können.

### 5/5 — 매우 유용한 앱

*2025-08-29*

여행지나 놀러갔다와서 회고하기좋아요. 알아서 기록해주니까 편하고 캘린더로 보내기도 가능해서 구글캘린더에 넣어두니 다른 기기에서도 확인가능해 좋네요. 최고의 앱이에요.

**Developer response:** 따뜻한 말씀 감사합니다. 정말 큰 힘이 됩니다. Rond를 모두에게 더 나은 앱으로 만들기 위해 앞으로도 새로운 기능들을 꾸준히 업데이트하겠습니다.
Thank you for the kind words. That means a lot to use. We'll defenitely keep updating with new features to make Rond better to everyone.

### 5/5 — So niche but so nice

*2025-08-04*

This is exactly the app that I’ve been wanting for a long time. If you’re looking to track your daily activity like this, which is extremely niche, this is in my opinion the closest to perfect as possible. Many apps that do something similar hide it behind an expensive subscription and/or use your data. This app is privacy focused and quite “Apple” like in overall design and philosophy as well due to using iCloud services and not collecting data. Plus, the app gets frequent updates with improvements and additions. Another thing that even more expensive and less user friendly apps don’t offer

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Rond aligns with what you’ve been looking. Our goal is to keep making Rond even more useful and stable, helping users like you gain valuable insights into their lives. We’re excited to continue improving the app for everyone. 😊

### 5/5 — 今まで一番感動を感じたソフト

*2025-06-17*

中国勢かっこいい

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2025-04-30*

Muito bom! O melhor na categoria localização e registro.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. We'll keep working hard to make it even better.

### 5/5 — 请抓紧修复VPN的问题

*2025-03-15*

已经购买年度订阅，每次弹出提示，而且无法恢复订阅，必须把代理软件关掉才可以，这样带来很多使用不便。

### 5/5 — Best App in the history of the App Store

*2025-02-19*

The developer is a genius. Every update is what I dreamt about.

**Developer response:** Your words mean the world to me! 🤩 We'll keep working hard to make it even better.

### 5/5 — 提一些小建议

*2025-02-10*

开发者您好：
我已使用Rond有两月左右，总体体验感非常好，已开通永久会员，在此想提几个小建议，如果有机会的话希望您能采纳：
1、标签组可以自定义排序顺序
2、标签搜索栏可以同时多选数个标签，检索到访记录。（目前是只能检索一个标签名称）（例如：同时选择“家人”和“出游”标签，就可以看到和家人一起出去玩的记录）
3、在每日时间轴部分，希望可以和游记一样，自己添加一日总的备注和照片（一方面，因为照片如果在系统内删除，时间轴部分也就看不到了；另一方面，并非每日的记录都想添加到游记中，但一日中也有很多故事可以记录，如果增加一日总备注和照片功能，就可以让时间轴变得和日记一样，更利于日后回忆）
4、希望游记部分可以增加按日期或者按城市分类的功能（目前游记部分数据都在一起，想检索以前的游记需要一条条翻记录）

### 5/5 — 超级喜欢

*2025-01-12*

可不可以做一个手表版，平时只带手表

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2024-12-06*

Incredible app that makes it easy for you to manage your time. Tremendous amount of features and exceptional Apple-like (and Apple quality) UX/UI. Indeed, this should be a standard iPhone app! The dev is down to earth and responsive, pushing out frequent updates with improvements and new features. Free tier is amazing, but lifetime access is an incredible bargain and well worth it. Being able to glance at my phone and know how long it’s been since I arrived at some place simplifies my daily routine and ensures I spend the intended amount of time doing specific activities without all the mental math. All I am missing is an Apple Watch app + Complications! Please :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! An Apple Watch version is part of our long-term plan. Once Rond's features are more stable, we’ll begin development.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — nicht gut ausgeführt, geizig

*2025-11-07*

Ich nutze die App nur weil die google Zeitachse auf meinem Handy nicht funktioniert. diese app ist viel zu ungenau und es ist unverschämt wie wenig man ohne die premium veraion erhält. Zudem sollte die app erweitert werden,da sie noch sehr basic ist. Beispielsweise gibt es als Transportmittel keinen Zug oder U/S-bahn und das obwohl die entwickler von einer Urlaubs tracking app werben zudem kann man nur eine einzige Reise speichern, ohne das 2€ pro monat Abbo. Insgesamt sehr ausbaufähig

**Developer response:** Rond does not run in the background to monitor your device's location. Instead, it reads and displays "Significant Locations" from the system, which we believe covers most daily scenarios. This approach is a trade-off because Rond cannot alter the system's accuracy; it simply displays location changes as they are recorded.

While we could achieve greater accuracy by having Rond actively monitor your location, this would require the app to run in the background continuously, significantly consuming more battery. We have chosen not to implement this change for now, as the current strategy meets the needs of most users.

Additionally, since Rond does not run in the background, all transport modes are determined by the system. To conserve battery, iOS classifies all "fast movements" as "motor vehicles." If you primarily travel by train, you can set "train" as your default mode in Rond, and all motor vehicle movements will be labeled as "train" by default.

We apologize if Rond does not meet your specific needs. If you require more precise location tracking, you might consider using an app like "Fog of World."

--------------

Rond läuft nicht im Hintergrund, um den Standort Ihres Geräts zu überwachen. Stattdessen liest und zeigt Rond die "Significant Locations" aus dem System an, was unserer Meinung nach die meisten täglichen Szenarien abdeckt. Dieser Ansatz ist ein Kompromiss, da Rond die Genauigkeit des Systems nicht ändern kann; es zeigt einfach die aufgezeichneten Standortänderungen an.

Obwohl wir eine höhere Genauigkeit erreichen könnten, indem wir Rond dazu bringen, Ihren Standort aktiv zu überwachen, würde dies erfordern, dass die App kontinuierlich im Hintergrund läuft, was erheblich mehr Batterie verbraucht. Wir haben uns entschieden, diese Änderung vorerst nicht umzusetzen, da die aktuelle Strategie den Bedürfnissen der meisten Benutzer entspricht.

Da Rond nicht im Hintergrund läuft, werden alle Transportmodi vom System bestimmt. Um die Batterie zu schonen, klassifiziert iOS alle "schnellen Bewegungen" als "Kraftfahrzeuge". Wenn Sie hauptsächlich mit dem Zug reisen, können Sie "Zug" als Ihren Standardmodus in Rond festlegen, und alle Kraftfahrzeugbewegungen werden standardmäßig als "Zug" gekennzeichnet.

Wir entschuldigen uns, wenn Rond nicht Ihren spezifischen Anforderungen entspricht. Wenn Sie eine präzisere Standortverfolgung benötigen, könnten Sie eine App wie "Fog of World" in Betracht ziehen.

### 1/5 — Zu ungenau da Radius zu groß.

*2024-06-28*

Macht einen netten Eindruck, leider ist der Radius zu groß. Bin z.b. 200 Meter von zu Hause weg, wird das nicht erkannt. Gerade wenn Objekte zu nahe sind wird das leider nicht erkannt, schade.

**Developer response:** Rond does not run in the background to monitor your device's location. Instead, it reads and displays "Significant Locations" from the system, which we believe is sufficient for most daily needs. This approach means Rond cannot modify the system's accuracy and only displays location changes as recorded by the system.

While we could achieve more accuracy by having Rond actively monitor your location, this would require the app to run in the background continuously, which would consume more battery. We have chosen not to make this change because our current method meets the needs of most users.

If you move within 200 meters, the system might not recognize it as a significant location change. In such cases, you can manually split entries by tapping on the Timeline. We also provide shortcuts for customizations, such as auto-splitting when workouts start.

We apologize if Rond doesn't meet your specific needs. If you require more precise location tracking, you might consider using an app like "Fog of World."

-------------------------

Rond läuft nicht im Hintergrund, um den Standort Ihres Geräts zu überwachen. Stattdessen liest und zeigt es die „Bedeutenden Orte“ aus dem System an, was unserer Meinung nach für die meisten täglichen Bedürfnisse ausreicht. Dieser Ansatz bedeutet, dass Rond die Genauigkeit des Systems nicht ändern kann und nur die vom System aufgezeichneten Standortänderungen anzeigt.

Obwohl wir durch die aktive Überwachung Ihres Standorts eine höhere Genauigkeit erzielen könnten, würde dies erfordern, dass die App ständig im Hintergrund läuft, was mehr Batterie verbraucht. Wir haben uns entschieden, diese Änderung nicht vorzunehmen, da unsere aktuelle Methode den Bedürfnissen der meisten Benutzer entspricht.

Wenn Sie sich innerhalb von 200 Metern bewegen, erkennt das System dies möglicherweise nicht als bedeutende Standortänderung. In solchen Fällen können Sie Einträge manuell durch Antippen der Timeline aufteilen. Wir bieten auch Abkürzungen für Anpassungen, wie zum Beispiel das automatische Aufteilen beim Start von Workouts.

Wir entschuldigen uns, wenn Rond Ihre spezifischen Bedürfnisse nicht erfüllt. Wenn Sie eine genauere Standortverfolgung benötigen, könnten Sie eine App wie „Fog of World“ in Betracht ziehen.

### 1/5 — Huge amount of bugs and does not allow a refund.

*2023-11-25*

The main bug is you cannot edit an activity that was synced through iCloud from a previous version. And wow does not allow a refund.

**Developer response:** Hi, if you are complaining that you cannot edit an activity because of the restriction of the premium service when you download the app from a new device, you should "restore purchases" to sync your premium package across devices. You can find the button on the paywall page. I'd like to provide help if you could send the feedback via email within the app: rond.app@outlook.com
All in-app purchases are managed by Apple officially, so you should visit reportaproblem.apple.com to request a refund. It will be processed by Apple.

### 2/5 — 无语

*2024-12-21*

越更新越难用，一打开之前的记录全没了

### 3/5 — 「Apple Watch‎」の対応

*2025-03-01*

【日本語】
根拠と乗り換えについて説明します。

日本人ユーザーが一気に増えるという理由は、私達日本人のお客様にとってチェックインアプリといえば「Swarm」です。
Swarmは「Apple Watch」に対応していると同時に、お客様がブログで紹介している事から日本人のお客様が多いです。
でも、Swarm自体のアップデートが踏み止まっている状況から開発の責務が不明な為、Swarmから「Rond」に乗り換えました。

しかし「Apple Watch」に対応していると私は思っていましたが、実際対応していないと痛感しました。
デベロッパー様の謙虚及び、誠心誠意な対応と今後「Apple Watch」に対応してくれるという期待の気持ちを込めてレビューにある星の数を変更します。

【英語】
Let me explain the rationale and our switch.

The reason why Japanese users are expected to increase dramatically is that, for us Japanese customers, the default check-in app is “Swarm.” Swarm not only supports the Apple Watch, but it’s also frequently featured on customer blogs, which has attracted many Japanese users. However, due to Swarm’s stalled updates and the unclear responsibility for its development, we decided to switch from Swarm to “Rond.”

I had assumed that it would support the Apple Watch, but I was disappointed to find that it does not. With high expectations for a humble and sincere response from the developers—and with the hope that Apple Watch support will be added in the future—I have updated the star rating in my review.

**Developer response:** 【日本語】
Apple Watch 対応を求める声は理解できますが、開発リソースには限りがあり、他の重要な機能改善や安定性向上にも取り組んでいます。そのため、すぐに対応する保証はありません。「日本人ユーザーの利用者が一気に増える」と断言されても、具体的な根拠がないため、開発の優先順位を変える決定には至りません。

それよりも、Apple Watch に対応していないという理由だけで低評価をつけられるのは正直無念です。アプリの本来の価値や機能を見て評価していただけるとありがたいです。

【English】
I understand the request for Apple Watch support, but development resources are limited. We are also working on other important feature improvements and stability enhancements, so we cannot guarantee immediate support. While you claim that adding this feature will dramatically increase Japanese users, without concrete evidence, it is difficult to prioritize accordingly.

More than that, I find it quite disappointing that you left a low rating just because the app does not support Apple Watch. I would appreciate it if you could evaluate the app based on its actual value and functionality.

### 3/5 — Intéressant

*2024-01-22*

Application intéressante 
 Malheureusement le tarif est trop élevé 😭 (et pas de période d’essai pour tester)
Et surtout pas d’application Watch

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre commentaire. De nombreuses fonctionnalités incluses avec Rond Plus sont disponibles pour un essai gratuit (avec certaines limitations quant au nombre). Cependant, si vous êtes intéressé par d'autres fonctionnalités, n'hésitez pas à nous envoyer un courriel via l'application, et je serais heureux de vous offrir une période d'utilisation supplémentaire.
----------
Thank you for your comment. Many of the features that come with Rond Plus are available for you to try for free (with some limitations on the number). However, if you are interested in other features, feel free to send us an email through the app, and I would be happy to provide you with an additional period of use.

### 3/5 — 软件还没做起来就飘了？？

*2023-09-20*

这个软件很有创意，我们也很愿意为作者的辛勤劳动付费，但是现在还有不少功能需要完善，比如交通方式修改，比如跟跟地图，点评软件对接，比如跟记事本链接，等等，目前这个订阅收费制度吃像略显难看，好歹你把软件做大做强后再收割吧？？

**Developer response:** 你好，谢谢你的肯定。上线3个月以来，我们一直在跟进各类用户反馈，包括你提到的“修改交通方式”作为上个月的新功能已经加入。随着功能逐步稳定，我们决定推出 Rond PLUS，除了订阅以外，还提供了“一次性付费”可选。这将有助于我们拥有持续的动力持续完善产品功能。希望您理解。

### 4/5 — 从照片导入活动，国外地址无法识别以及活动显示为路过

*2026-08-16*

选择从照片导入，然后照片内包含的国外地址均显示未知地点，且在地图中也无法显示，这应该是一个bug，请修复，第二个问题是为什么明明在一天之中标记为了活动，仍然会显示是路过这一地点，很多活动都会出现这一情况！！！
感谢回复，问题已解决

**Developer response:** 请参考帮助中心，文章《在中国大陆导入海外照片时找不到地点》有对此问题的说明。
关于“路过”的问题，是由于手动选择了“忽略到访记录”或“忽略地点”。在到访记录右上角选择“取消忽略”，或者前往地点页面，选择将以忽略的地点“取消忽略”。
如果有更多问题，请通过 App 内的“反馈问题”与我们取得联系，以便获取更高效的帮助。

### 4/5 — 毎日が楽しくなった！

*2026-05-17*

Appleの純正アプリのようなデザインで統一感もあり、使いやすい。この地域行ったことがないから行ってみようと動くきっかけになっているので毎日が楽しくなりました！

希望したい機能
・この地域は何%進捗度があるのか見れるとさらに冒険感が出ていいと思う。
・行きたいとこリストがほしい
・AppleWatch版のアプリ

**Developer response:** 温かいお言葉ありがとうございます。
Rondは新機能を追加し、進化を続けています。いただいたご意見は参考にさせていただきます。
Thank you for your kind words.
Rond has been evolving with new features. We'll take your suggestions into consideration.

### 5/5 — This is the app I was looking for

*2026-07-05*

I love this sort of personal tracking and this app does it very well.  I’m always excited to see an update for it in the App Store.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. That means a lot to me! Please share any feedback/suggestion if any from the in-app channel :)

### 5/5 — Impressive Journal

*2026-05-23, version 4.11.1*

This is by far one of the most accurate travel journals in the App Store.

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend

*2026-05-18*

Such a beautiful and thoughtfully designed app. 

You can tell the dev cares about the app, love all the new features & updates !!! 

Will be a lifetime user.

**Developer response:** Rond started from my own daily needs, so I’m always building it as both the developer and a real user of the app. Knowing it’s become part of someone else’s life too is incredibly motivating. I’ll keep polishing and improving Rond for the long run.

### 5/5 — 要望

*2026-05-05*

場所のフォルダ分けが出来るようにして欲しいです。
交通を選択して一斉に変更することもできるようにして欲しいです。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。イベント数が増えると、イベントの選定が少し複雑になります。いただいたご提案を慎重に検討し、開発計画に反映させていただきます。

### 5/5 — 使用说明咨询

*2026-04-05*

App是好的，但进入后很多东西没搞明白，进入主页后，马上有显示当前位置的停留信息，想把当前位置改成“家”，在前往“活动”设置成“家”的活动选项后，在“统计”和“活动”等栏目里体验数据是空的，也就是我不知道我把主页停留的记录信息改成“家”后，到底是不是等于“活动”类里就已经记录好了，自己捣鼓半天无法弄，而且就算关闭了定位的“始终”选项，主页的停留记录也一直在工作的，也不知道到底开不开这个始终定位选项

**Developer response:** 你好，谢谢你的评论。这对我们提升用户首次下载安装的使用体验有很大的帮助。我们将尽快完善指引说明，帮助新用户理解。

### 5/5 — 振り返るだけで楽しい

*2026-03-31*

2024年秋から使っていますが、色々機能も増えて使ってて面白いです。
放っとくだけで記録ができるのがよくて、一言日記っぽいのも残せて振り返る時楽しいです。あと、カラフルでデザインも可愛いです。

似たようなアプリ色々使ってましたが、自分にはこれが一番合ってました。長く続いて欲しいです。

**Developer response:** iCloud 同期を有効にすると、データは iCloud アカウントを介してデバイス間で同期されます。あなたの説明からすると、iCloud アカウントを切り替える可能性があると思われます。その場合、別のアカウントにログインしているため、データは消去されます。以前のアカウントに再度ログインすると、データが復元されます。さらに質問がある場合は、効率性を確保するために、rond.app@outlook.com までメールでお気軽にお問い合わせください。
-------------
If you enable iCloud sync, data will be synced across devices via your iCloud account. From your description I guess you might switch your iCloud account. If so, the data will be cleared because you are logged into a different account. Once you log back into your previous account, the data should be restored. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us via email at rond.app@outlook.com to ensure efficiency.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-10*

I really love this app for timeline and location logging. It works great and has been super useful. One feature that would make it even better would be the ability to plan schedules or tasks, similar to apps like Supatask or Structured. It would also be great if I could record why I did a certain activity and see what tasks were completed in a checklist-style format rather than just a simple note.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support! We're constantly working on exciting new features to make Rond even better.

### 5/5 — Best app for purpose

*2026-01-21*

I always get super excited when there’s an update for this app. It’s very very battery light and it’s super easy to use, and can track a lot of things. Lots of features. It’s a daily use for me ❤️

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We'll keep up improving with new features :)

### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem in its class

*2026-01-20*

Clean design, effortless to use. Rond is a hidden gem that sets the bar for usability and aesthetics in its category. It’s more than just an app for tracking the places you visit — it helps you understand your lifestyle better. You may be surprised by the insights it reveals.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We'll keep up improving with new features :)

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2025-12-30*

LOVE this app. Been using since Jan 2024. Gives me a great view of my daily activities. Very simple to use but also surprisingly flexible. Lots of new updates like journaling I haven't really explored but excited to do so. 10/10!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We'll keep up improving with new features.
