Too complicated

Travels

Easy way to earn money while accounting for your moment

Redo it, again

Everything I’ve done in this app has been done at least 3x.

Simply Terrible

Is the intent to of this app to piss off the users? I volunteered to track my travel for one day and I've already put so much effort into unsuccessfully "confirming" my travel data that I wonder how many people actually complete these surveys.

For the survey, my designated travel day happened to coincide with a day I traveled by air to a different time zone. The app didn't make the adjustment.

I've "confirmed" several stops that the app subsequently unconfirmed. I've gone through the I confirm-app unconfirms-I confirm cycle multiple times -- I'm trapped in the Hades of this app's confirmation death loop. It seems there is no way for me to complete the record of my travel day and the app is sapping my will to complete this survey.

But, the app excels at power usage. This app drained both my devices (phone & watch) with unexpected speed and efficiency. Well done, Daily Travel app!

Needs Work

Portions of this app are very repetitive. I answered the same questions multiple times and so did my spouse. Difficult to navigate site as well.

Very difficult to use

Not clear what location it wants and in which order, useless and waste of time. Keeps switching automatically between screens when something wrong goes with timing.

Horrible app

So difficult to use. Corrections are hard to make. I’m so frustrated with the clunky programming of this app that I deeply regret volunteering to use it.

Hated

Did not like this app at all! Felt it was difficult to make changes. Needed a way to delete stops that never occurred. Would not use again!

Not Battery Friendly

It uses so much battery—if you’re driving more than an hour’s worth of distance with location always on, you will need a charger!!

Battery hog

I downloaded this for a local traffic research survey. Deleted it after a few days because it was killing my battery from constant location tracking. I hadn’t even started the study or even opened the app after the first install; it was all background activity.

Terrible

You have to constantly re-enter information, terrible app that’s frustrating to use! Would give zero stars if I could.

Difficult

It was very hard to use and requires lots of mental energy. At least I got paid

Battery Killer

Completely drained my battery in a matter of a few hours every day I had it installed. Definitely not worth it.

App not that friendly

This app was not easy to start or learn. Some choices not working until you jump through needless hooos

Battery Drain & Poor UX

Out of all the apps that run GPS in the background, this app will nuke your battery. So much so I couldn’t wait for the survey period to be over.

The interface quality poor, especially since its focus is on user travel behavior. The interface is archaic, questions are bloated and could be streamlined, and certain inputs are buggy. For example the location nearby. The data collected would be of higher quality if the app took a simple approach of “hey you’re giving us info, let’s make it easy and delightful for you”.

Cumbersome for cyclists & runners

I exercise a lot and the app does not work well for walkers/runners/cyclist who often go out and back to a place that often does not have an address a/o travel a loop that is not the most direct route. Lots of repetitive questions.

Battery eater

I can NOT wait to get this off my phone. Quite literally eats 40% of my battery just on background activity. The amount of data they’re tracking must be akin to driving on Uber or delivering on DoorDash. Wild

Not user friendly

Not user friendly. If I change one thing that’s completely unrelated to a different trip, it makes me re-enter all of the information. Very frustrating to use.

One day only?

I hope this helps.

High Battery Usage

App is useful for tracking travel, but eats up tons of battery due to excessive location data usage. Hopefully can be fixed in an update.
