### 4/5 — Basic …In A Good Way

*2026-03-18, version 5.2*

I’ve used this app for years and it does exactly what it’s made to do without any hassle. The only gripe I have is that you cannot manually drop crumbs (or correct them). It’s near-perfect as a passive app otherwise.

### 4/5 — Handy

*2024-05-08, version 4.70*

Handy Although it still has occasional bugs it works well I use it to keep track of where I have been when I forget to write down my time for service calls to my customers 
I hope the bugs get worked out

### 1/5 — Quite good

*2021-01-17, version 4.40*

Travelled around the world and it tracked the flights and the travel done. Sometimes the driving can be a bit different to locations been, in a roundabout way, but overall it was ok to look back and see the places you have been.  Not very impressed at a monthly subscription now. Will not be retaining premium content for something that isn’t always accurate

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2021-01-15, version 4.40*

I’ve been using this app for a few years and I upgraded to premium which was a one cost upgrade.

 I contacted the developer a couple of times with some issues which still to this day remain unresolved even though I was told that the issues would be fixed “in the next update” that was 3 years ago - and now you want to start charging me monthly after April? - No thank you. Deleted app right away.

### 1/5 — In need of repair!

*2021-01-06, version 4.40*

Unfortunately the app keeps crashing. I bought the premium version which was a once off fee, it is now a monthly fee but I get a few more months as a premium user, which would be fine if I could restore my purchase without the app crashing. Could be a useful app but I would avoid until it the faults have been addressed.

### 1/5 — Good app that has now essentially stolen from me

*2021-01-02, version 4.40*

The app is good but recently switched to a subscription model. I can’t fault for the developer for wanting to try a different business model for new users but revoking the lifetime premium license for the previous purchasers amounts to stealing. I would have never purchased or tried this app if it was a subscription and while reviewing my history today I’m notified that in 3 months my previously purchased feature is to be terminated. For potential customers do yourself a favor and find another app/developer that won’t take away your previously purchased content at their convenience.

### 1/5 — SNEAKY TACTICS. Don’t buy.

*2021-01-01, version 4.40*

I PAID for this a couple of months ago to see data from further back than the free version gives me. Now, as of 1/1/2021, you make it a subscription version so I can no longer see data further back than 3 weeks. I PAID FOR THIS, YOU SHOULDN’T DO THAT !. 

Attempting to “restore premium version” from the settings results in the app crashing. How convenient !

Moral of the story - DON’T UPDATE THE APP.   

And why a subscription when the location data is held locally on the users own phone?. It’s not as if you’re having to maintain a server with user location data, because that data doesn’t even reach you due to privacy laws. 

So, will you refund my purchase after now being told I can no longer use it under the terms I originally signed up for ?. I doubt it. 

Complaint lodged to Apple.

### 4/5 — Perfect for Logging Work Day

*2020-09-30, version 4.21*

Tends to show the location as the most popular nearby location, usually  next door or over the road instead of where I actually am.  But still incredibly useful.  I can look back at the day and week to see exactly how long I spent at each client location and match it to where I know I’ve been on the map.  It simple and uncomplicated.  I also like the summary of how many km’s I’ve travelled at the end of the week.

### 1/5 — Was working on my SE

*2020-08-21, version 4.21*

But the inaccuracy since i first installed has become ridiculous. Im sorry.  Deleting. Now wish i had not paid.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2020-07-15, version 4.21*

Could be smarter and remember exact places I changed to.  Use it every day!  

Did I say I really like the application?

### 3/5 — Not very accurate

*2020-03-06, version 4.21*

I have all the tracking options on , but it’s not very accurate. It doesn’t know when I’m biking, always thinks I’m in a car. Has had issues capturing short walks to the corner of the block. Minutes estimates are always shorter than the time actually taken. The app is simple to use but I need more accuracy.

### 1/5 — Used to work fine now terrible

*2020-01-10, version 4.1*

Used to work well but started crashing a lot. Deleted and reinstalled loosing all data because of no response from developer. Reinstall worked ok for 2 months but now just registers every day as ‘in car’ no times or locations. I won’t be giving it a 3rd chance. Do not rely on this app for time sheets etc

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update completely cleared the history

*2024-12-07, version 5.0*

I just opened the app because I actually did need to check something and immediately the app flashed up that it was updating and there was zero history there after having it downloaded for months. 

Surely that’s the one thing it needs to do, and it failed… big let down!

### 1/5 — When will lifetime purchases come back?

*2024-11-24, version 5.0*

Believe it or not, before there was a stupid subscription for this app, there was a one-time premium purchase model. And it’s not as if the monthly subscription incentives the developer to improve the app. Check how long the gap is between updates to see how much this developer cares about their app.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-12-02, version 4.60*

Obviously, from the history of the reviews, this used to be a fabulous app. I’ve been using it for about a month. It was working great.

Now it crashes every time I open it. Will someone please recommend how I can fix this?

### 1/5 — used to be good but no longer worth it

*2022-11-10, version 4.60*

used to work well but doesn’t work any more after subscription model implemented even tho I paid for premium previously.  fortunately was able to find better and more accurate alternatives that are free

### 1/5 — Used to be great, stolen from us.

*2022-11-02, version 4.60*

Purchased the perpetual license years ago to support them.  They recently revoked those licenses and went to a subscription model, no longer supporting those who supported them early on.  Guys, I understand the need to move to a subscription service, but at least honor those who have previously purchased the perpetual license.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2021-12-07, version 4.52*

Unfortunately the app doesn’t work. It crashes, or doesn’t load. When it does load, it does not actually have the location data that is its only purpose. This is a long-standing problem that has persisted across updates, and across iOS platforms. Before finally deleting it and leaving this review, I gave it ‘one last chance’. First, it told me my subscription had expired (I have an email from 2 days ago saying I have been billed my monthly fee). I reopened it and now it says it is ‘rebuilding the database’ - but is just frozen. I can’t waste any more time on this. Sorry!

### 1/5 — Won’t run

*2021-07-16, version 4.50*

Since the latest version release, the app won’t run on my iPhone XS Max. It says “upgrading to the latest version/ Please wait…” but never seems to get there. According to the Apple Store, I already have the latest version. Oh well.

### 1/5 — Was good, now Terrible

*2021-05-05, version 4.44*

App is so slow and boggy that it’s not worth using. I used to be able to go to any day I wanted. Now app is so slow that it takes forever to load and you never know if it’s giving you the locations for the correct day. Sits there and changes every couple minutes. 
Was good, now a joke

### 1/5 — Total crap

*2021-02-14, version 4.42*

I paid for premium access years ago. And now you want me to pay again. I was told I would have access to my data until April 2021, but I HAVE NO ACCESS AT ALL BECAUSE THE APP IS CONTINUING TO CRASH.

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2021-01-18, version 4.41*

Not worth a dime. Developer also didn’t show appreciation for anyone who paid for this app before there was a subscription.

### 5/5 — Does what it says.

*2026-04-13, version 5.2*

I have found this very useful way of keeping track when I’ve attended customers, as well as keeping a record of where I’ve been socially and otherwise. It’s not absolutely perfect and occasionally misses a movement, but I’d say 98% of the time it tells the truth and keeps a record of it. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Fun Location App

*2025-10-03*

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s basic, but does exactly what it’s supposed to and does it well. It’s all passive too, so you don’t need to do a thing.

If there’s any pitfall, it’s that you can’t manually add data. Seems like an easy add-on, hopefully one day we’ll get that in an update…

### 5/5 — This shouldn’t be rated at 2.4 Stars

*2025-10-02, version 5.1*

Does a great job for a free app. The developers have done well. Thanks guys

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-04-19*

Been using it for years... It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Very accurate & uses very little battery power.

### 5/5 — Great App. Great Service

*2021-09-21, version 4.52*

The accuracy is quite good, this is a well thought out program by apparently people who care and nurture their product. 
When ever I have had an issue, the response 
From the owners has been fast and helpful. 
I am a non paying subscriber but I will pay in the future.  With COVID here to stay, it’s helpful for contact tracing and I think the owners of this product should highlight that fact and the general usefulness of the product. 

As a service electrician, I use the app to check my time on jobs when I am invoicing. 

Good Luck to the WHIB team.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2021-01-19, version 4.41*

This app is fantastic. I love that I can see all the places I have been (esp useful for tracking time traveling for work) but also that I have control of my data. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app, used to be much better, slow to update

*2020-06-01, version 4.21*

Absolutely loved this app back around 2015, lots of updates and it seems to lose basic functionality as it adds bells and whistles. 
Biggest gripe is the updates come out very slow, so unfortunately it breaks with new iOS updates and may take months and months to work again. 
Makes me hate apple for crap backwards comparability.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-20, version 4.2*

Great location tracking app. Developers are helpful. If you have a problem with the app crashing then contact support and they'll help you get it solved.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-10-03, version 4.1*

Used this app, and the excel sheet of my locations and times it produces to win a lawsuit against an employer. I will for ever have whib!  You guys rock!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-02-01, version 4.0*

I have used this app for a few years and not only does it work as advertised and held me keep track of where I was, for how long etc, the support provided by the developer is awesome. I had an issue with the app and inside of an hour, we traded some emails and I got my issue resolved. Can't recommend enough! Thanks Bleat for a great experience!
