Great for ADHD and remember where I was

I use it to remember where I was and what I was doing yesterday or July 14th 2021. I use it to keep a location based journal.

Tracking how much time I am sites

I am a regional manager and I arrive and
Go in and talk to managers and help as much as I can.

Sometimes I am quickly adjusting schedule and fielding calls from other locations on issues. The day can be blur and I try to stay focused on staff and facility.

So at the end of the month when I look back and realize I did not keep tabs on where I was a s well as I should.
Visits gives me a way to track my “visits “!

Runs in background

I use Visits Journal in the background, unlike some who use it to document travel on the job. For my purposes, it is great, especially when I want to remember where I have visited over the weeks (and years). It is not always completely accurate, ie, it might show the location as across the intersection from my actual location. But, it is easy enough to figure out where I was, and that is a good trade off to avoid draining my battery as do some GPS apps. Thank you for creating this app.

Welcome. I know it’s not perfect, but we did the best we could, and made it as fun to use as possible.

My history is gone

Why my history is not appeared, so I cannot track my last year traveling, please fix it

Did you recently delete the app? We use iCloud to backup your data. If you have iCloud turned off and delete the app your data might be lost. Due to the sensitive nature of location data we don’t store anything on our servers, in fact we don’t have servers. Everything is linked to your iCloud account. If you still have questions please contact me at feedback@visits.app

Amazing, BUT....

I need the option to reset my tracking to zero places and start over.

Is there a way that's already available which I don't know of?

I think so. Turn off iCloud for visits and reinstall the app

Only works sometimes

I have been using this app for Avery long time
I am very disappointed because I wanted it to track all the places I traveled for my job. Since I travel around the world or did before covid!
On Monday morning I drive to a particular location opened the app - hoping it would document my location. It did not. As a matter of fact it has not documented any place I have been since May 30. I have very disappointed in the app and it’s consistent inconsistencies.
I wish you all would fix it! This is the 2nd time
I have written to you. You said you would fix it..guess you don’t know how

Unfortunately this is a problem with Apple’s API and we have been in touch with them multiple times to solve the problem. We are only two people working on this and we just weren’t able to make enough out of this app to be able to continue. We put our best foot forward and unfortunately we have to say bye for now. Apple at some point may fix their API then the app may work more consistently. We didn’t want to use a third party vendor because they are only interested in collecting your location data. We can’t guarantee your privacy if we did that.

Unique and Essential

Visits is the only app that effortlessly keeps track of where I’ve been using a completely native iOS interface while absolutely respecting my privacy. And the developers are highly responsive.

Seeing my “visits” mapped out over time compels me to get out there and travel more! Highly recommend!

Visits

By far one of the best apps, if you track you’re arrival and departure times for payroll it is a must have, it gives you a piece of mind I’ve tried other apps and by far its the best out there ,awesome I Highly recommend

Thank you!

Love it

I try to incorporate all the things I need to do into one trip if possible and this app helps me to remember where I’ve been because at the end of a long day sometimes I don’t remember. It works great and it logs how long you been there, how many times you’ve been there. It’s the only app at the App Store that is able to do these things. Love the app.

Thank you. We really appreciate it. We’re working hard on a big new release. Stay tuned.

Terrible App

One of the worst apps ever. Save your money. Try Geofency or WHIB. Stuck with this one more than a month hoping it would work. It never did. Paid for it. Still doesn't work. Of the 3, WHIB comes closest to what you'd expect from an app like this.

I know what you did last summer

Tracks almost your every move, which is fun to review, until you realize it’s .recording. your every move. Creepy.

Using Google maps, the location finder can differentiate between buildings 1/2 mile apart.

Accuracy from -spot on, names the location, to -pretty good, names a nearby street, to -Totally Missed my trip 28 miles away for a three hour visit, lost off the grid.

Why?

Thanks for the review. We built it so you can see where you’re spending your time and also find places you might have forgotten. We take our users privacy very seriously. We do not collect your location data and sell it. If fact currently we don’t collect any data. We have to strike a balance between accuracy and battery life. Sometimes we do miss a visit. We’re working on a new version to bring more useful features. Stay tuned!

Mileage

Would be nice if I could track mileage between visits

Thank you so much for the rating. We are working hard on Visits 2. I'll definitely consider your suggestion.

Bait and switch

It went free for a few days so I got it. Today I look in it and they want 2.99 to do anything. I don’t call that free if it only works for a couple weeks. Even if it says “in app purchases”. To me “in app purchases“ means part of it works and I can add some special features for extra money. Missing part is “part of it works“ which isn’t true today.

We recently moved to a free trial model. Where we let you use the app and all the features for up to 30 visits. We’re just two people working on this and we built it because we really want to build deep technology and bring it to people in a clear and simple way. We don’t collect or sell your location information or even display ads. We need to charge a small fee from each user to be able to continue. If you enjoyed using the app and found it useful I would ask you to buy it and help us to continue making apps like this. With the next version I will update the app description to mention the free trial condition so no one else is confused.

Great app

Precise and useful record keeper. I love it

Reliability

I have been using for around 2 weeks, the place I spend most time is my house for 8 or 10 hours a day, some days it doesn’t show that I was at my house at all. When it saves a location app gives you great info map location and time spent. Only problem I have is app misses a few locations I visit every day. I am using an apple XS, maybe it works better on older phones. Maybe it needs an update.
