Buggy UI

I consistently have problems with managing my days and proper tracking. I was hopeful it would work as expected

Nice when it works

Unfortunately, this app is too unreliable. It seems to totally die once in a while, forcing you to uninstall and reinstall it. Killing the app does nothing.

Buggy

I'd love to use this app. But when I went to enter days from earlier in the year, in some cases, it just spins around. If you go to edit the number of days you had put in and change the location, it just says you already have days saved in this location. If it would function properly, then I'd love it. As it is, all I did is waste at least a half hour of my time so thanks for nothing. Try selling the app when it doesn't have any bugs in it and then maybe I'll be happy to subscribe.

Crashes!

App instantly crashes when I manually try to add the UAE as location for a specific time. Useless piece of software.

Very crash prone

I’ve been using this app for one and a half years on a iPhone 16 Max .This is probably the worst piece of software I have used in my 40 years of using computer computers. It constantly crashes, for example if the user selects an overseas destination, say Switzerland, it displays Denmark. If the users select Germany, the app crashes. Repeatedly.
We plan to discontinue this app as soon as 2025 is over.
Buyer beware !

The fix worked!

The app stopped regularly updating locations a few months ago. I was manually updating location a few times a week. The developer reached out and suggested I delete and reinstall it a couple of weeks ago. It’s working great now. Didn’t loose any data on the reinstall either.

Life (and Tax) Saver!

Works great to track my travels! App consistently works well, no issues and happy customer for multiple years.

Missing days increasing

Am starting my 3rd year using this. Appreciated the interface and tracking. In the last few months it’s been missing days and need to update manually. Have set location tracking as loosely as possible and even started keeping the app open but it still misses.

Excellent Day Tracker

This is a great day tracker that perfectly met my needs.

Almost Perfect

With homes in 3 states it’s critical to track where we are and where we are not to avoid tax issues. This app does that very well. The one area of improvement would be to increase the reliability of recognizing the location each day. There are some days when it just does not register. If that can be improved - 5 stars.

Best App if Moving States

Best app ever if moving states. We’ve been using for years and our accountant love that we can prove where we spend our time. Everyone should use!

Looses data, doesn’t track location

This is my second year with this piece of junk app, never again. Heed my warning

Location tracking painful

Constantly NOT receiving location and in need to be opened and even when you do that it still doesn’t get your location. Painful.

Buggy, Poorly Maintained

A buggy and unreliable app. Super disappointing. Every time there’s an OS update it stops working well. Location tracking is the worst. Not worth the money.

Horrible on iPhone 16 Pro

I have used the app for the past two years on my old iPhone and it worked great it always updated my location daily. Since upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro, I have to log in almost every other day to record a missing day.

Constantly crashes

App constantly crashes. you have to consistently close the app and reopen it to do anything

It barely tracks automatically now

When I first started using it, in August 2023, until mid October 2024, it failed to get my location 3 times. Since then, it fails roughly every other day. If I need to open it every day, I might as well just keep a log in a spreadsheet.

Not worth it

Doesn’t allow you to edit mistakes . Good idea for an app but due to the above mentioned factor it’s not useful as we humans always make mistakes. If you do one you have to manually charge the year altogether not the dates. You cannot scroll dates on the left of calendar. Thus if you’re in one place on the 20th of a given month you are not allowed to include that you are in the next place on te 21st. Don’t buy it. Will drive you nuts.

Did was it supposed to do now it’s broken

In the past this app worked. Both auto tacking the days as well as navigating within the app and adding additional data was working fine.

Since the last couple of updates navigating within the app is nearly impossible. The layout didn’t change but it doesn’t recognize tabs many times the only option is to completely force close the app and restart.

Auto tracking works even though I would wish the app would be more forceful in notifying me when auto tracking doesn’t workright away. No my process is to open the app every now and then and add the missing days.
