Perfect for People Missing Latitude

Back when I still had an android phone more than 10 years ago, I used Google attitude to track my whereabouts which was a really rewarding experience for me. There was never a viable alternative for me on the Apple Ecosystem. This is now changed and there are a lot of additional tools to keep a diary and to look up these from long ago. I enjoy it a lot and the developers are very friendly on Discord and features that are useful when you recommend them.

Thanks Steven for your valuable review. Many people have moved also from Google Timeline to Time Atlas, and you can also import your Google Timeline data into Time Atlas and that way have all your past tracks in the app.

Die etwas andere Reise-/Tagebuchapp

Mein ganzes Erwachsenenleben bin ich durch die Welt gereist. Erinnerungen verblassen, soviel steht fest. Time Atlas hat bei mir einen Nerv getroffen, der mir ein verdammt gutes Gefühl gibt. Die App protokolliert sozusagen jeden Schritt und lässt zu, ein wirklich detailliertes Bild der eigenen Bewegung abzubilden. Reisen werden automatisch und noch mal gesondert protokolliert. Alles, je nach Vorliebe, mit Zeiten, Karten und Bildern. Auch eigene Texte können zu jedem Tag und Ereignis aufgeschrieben werden. Bilder werden nach Wunsch in der App gespeichert oder aus der Fotobibliothek geladen. Der Datenschutz ist lt. Entwickler gewährleistet, da alle Informationen auf dem Gerät bleiben. Mit Time Atlas hat man eine App, die die wirklich relevanten Erinnerungen festhält. Noch nie hat eine App es so schnell auf meine Startseite geschafft und ist geblieben. Die Version ohne Abo reicht auf jeden Fall für einen ausreichenden Überblick. Übrigens können User Fehler auf Discord melden und die App mitgestalten.

Es sind die meisten Sachen bei IOS komplett verbagt aber man kann die App benutzen

What I was looking for

I’ve been a life long joirnaler. But always paper. 2027 is my year to go digital and I’ve been looking for the app that will meet my needs. Time Atlas tracks and records my activities so when I journal it gives me a few reminders of what I did in the day. Also I can journal on the fly through the day. Big plus Trip journaling is part of the app and works like your daily journal. Can’t wait to test that out on my next trip. all in one social journaling.

“AI-powered” feels more like a marketing label than a useful feature

Time Atlas only seems to work if you happen to fit the very specific type of user its developer apparently designed it around.

I drive almost everywhere, yet the app routinely decides I’ve taken public transport. Walk slightly faster than whatever pace it expects and suddenly you’re cycling. Instead of saving time by automatically recording your movements, you end up spending an absurd amount of time manually correcting its guesses.

The supposedly AI-powered chat makes this even more frustrating. Ask it to correct an incorrect entry and it will happily talk to you about it, but it cannot actually change the entry. You still have to go and fix it manually. So what exactly is the AI for? At the moment, it feels like it exists primarily so “AI-powered” can appear in the marketing rather than because it meaningfully improves the product.

The biggest problem is that the app doesn’t appear to accommodate different patterns of movement particularly well. Some people drive everywhere. Some use public transport. Some walk quickly. An activity-tracking app should adapt to the user, not force the user to constantly correct the app.

The whole experience gives the impression that nowhere near enough user research or real-world testing was done before trying to monetise it. When an app designed to save you the effort of manually tracking your movements creates more manual work, something has gone fundamentally wrong.

In its current state, Time Atlas feels less like a polished AI product and more like a cash grab wrapped in AI branding. The developer should feel ashamed for charging people for a product in this state.

Thanks for your detailed feedback! We are sorry to hear the activity detection is not working for you so smoothly. Classifying activity is based on a very large number of factors, and speed is just one of them. It has been shown to work for a very large group of users, but it is not possible to test it with everyone. We would love to study this issue, so please submit feedback via the app and provide motion data with your feedback. For transportation, we automatically only can detect a general "transport" type. Users can change it manually, or from Settings they can set up a default transportation mode such as Car. With regards to "AI-powered", this is not something we claim. Only some features, such as the Chat, utilize AI. Chat's purpose is to help you recall or analyze your past information, but currently it does not allow changing the data.

Noch nicht ausgereift

Gute Idee und Design, aber noch nicht ganz ausgereift und ziemlich viele Bugs...
Keine Antwort vom Support.
Für den Preis dürfte man eine solide App erwarten.

Life Tracking Done Well

I have been looking for a long time for a frictionless way to record my life. I’ve tried DayOne, Path, Polar Steps, Fog of World… nothing stuck. Time Atlas was just what I needed and records what I want in a clear and simple way. Solid app and look forward to seeing it develop.

Guter Ansatz

Tolle Idee und Darstellung. Tage an denen die App schon auf dem Smartphone installiert ist werden gut erfasst und dargestellt. Leider trifft das nicht auf die Vergangenheit zu. Die bestehende Foto-Mediathek wird nicht oder nur sehr schlecht ausgewertet, besuchte Orte werden nicht aus den Ortsangaben der Fotos extrahiert, ein Rückblick in die Vergangenheit scheint erst ab dem Tag der App-Installation möglich zu sein. Sehr schade!

Simple life logging

As someone who doesn't want to upload photos to social media to track where I've been this passive tracking on my day is appealing. And since it's just for me/is just on my phone I don't have to care about what I write about or whether I'll get any engagement

Response from developer

Glad to hear you like it, SqrClouds 👏. Time Atlas is supposed to be primarily private to you, so no social media or engagement needed. You can have it entirely passive and automatic, but occasional customization and tune-up can be fun too 😊. Also, privacy is really important to us – we don't see any of your data, ever!

Brilliant

A superb way to keep track of all the places you've been.

Great app for collating life’s important moments

I’ve found this app great for recording a lot of life’s events. It’s great to recall visits and important events such as holidays and trips. The link to photos is also useful and I’ve also used it to remind me of the names of great cafes and and restaurants I have visited, particularly away from home when overseas. It also provides a useful summary of my exercise. It’s a great “journey journal” without having to keep and write a separate journal.

Response from developer

Amazing 🤙! A "journey journal" is kind of what we're going for. We hope that Time Atlas can be an automatic journal, so you specifically don't need to maintain a separate one. A lot of improvements coming very soon – keep an eye out and let us know what you think. Join our Discord to talk to us directly: https://discord.gg/zwJEYNdsPE.

use it every day!

I loved moves as an app before it died and this has been a great replacement, no wonder since one of the moves co-founders is involved. I love how easy it is to use and how much the functionality is there to get in the weeds of the data of your day if you want to, or just let it run and get the bigger picture. So excited to see what happens as the app continues to develop!

Rip off

I'm sorry. But this app. I'd a rip off. I use polar steps currently. And it does everything this does. And more. And it's free.

Response from developer

Time Atlas is also free. Similar to Polar Steps, which is a great app, it has a paid Plus subscription. Time Atlas is for tracking everyday life, not only travels.

Great documenting app for memories

The biggest challenge for me journaling is taking the time to remember what I did and putting it on paper. Since this is automated I can focus on journaling other things in my life. I do wish the journaling aspect is a little more robust but for what it offers, it will probably keep me more consistent on actually doing it.

Love this app! This really helps me recall my trip and the places I’ve been with detailed stats! 😊

I’m visiting KTM, Nepal and seeing all the places I’ve been is fantastic! It’s actually amazing! I use the app daily! Especially more now since I travel. 📍✈️

I go on this app daily to see my past few weeks of where I’ve been and what I’ve done and it’s very nicely built / organized.

The fact that this has weather data, can see the steps and the map of where I’ve visited is absolutely amazing! The devs are super nice and they listen to feedback very well. All together a very fun app to recall any moment. Whether you’re travelling or you’re in your own city!

Thanks for your kind words 🙏! We are happy you're getting benefit on so many levels. Good luck with your travels in Nepal!

cooks the phone up

as much as i love the app, for some reason latest updates has this app cooking my phone up

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback 🙏! The previous update had a problem with how the app manages photos, which in rare cases caused excessive repetitive processing. It has now been fixed. Please update to version 1.2.2 or later. Hopefully you can keep loving the app 🙂! Contact us at info@timeatlaslabs.com if you continue experiencing issues.

Almost Perfect!

Thank you Devs. Your app is really good. It checks all my boxes for used case the only problem which is a big one for me is the battery drain. Its uses too much juice. I hope there is a way to optimize this.

Response from developer

Thanks for our kind words. There is now an "ECO mode" in the app (in the Settings), which allows you to trade less battery drain with less accurate tracking.
