## What is Where Was I??

Where Was I? – Automatic Time & Location Logger

Where Was I? is the perfect tool for tradespeople, field service professionals, or anyone who needs an accurate, hands-free log of exactly where they’ve been and how long they were there.

Say goodbye to manual timesheets and guesswork. Where Was I? automatically tracks your location in the background, smartly recording only the places you actually spend time. It’s intelligent enough to know the difference between a stop at a job site and a stop at a traffic light.

Key Features
Smart Background Tracking: Set it and forget it. The app seamlessly logs your stops while you go about your day.
Total Location Control: Give locations custom names, adjust their detection radius, or set "ignore" zones (like your home) so you only record what matters.
Merge Locations: Combine nearby or overlapping spots into a single detection area. Any historical visits will automatically merge into the new location.
Easy Export & Sharing: Need to bill a client or submit a timesheet? Share an individual location visit, or export your entire location history as a CSV file in seconds.

Privacy First & Battery Friendly
Your Data Stays Yours: Your location history never leaves your device unless you choose to share it.
Zero Ads or Trackers: The app contains no advertising or hidden third-party tracking code. Your privacy is assured and completely in your control.
Battery Efficient: Visit tracking is highly optimized so it won't drain your battery.

(Note: For automatic tracking to function correctly, you will need to grant the app "Always" location permission).

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin.

*2026-08-04, version 3.0.1*

Gets things wrong by a house or two, but it keeps track of the general area which is what I got it for.

### 5/5 — Excellent despite occasional bugs

*2025-07-23, version 2.1*

Have been using this for a while and found it to be very useful. Unfortunately a recent update turned reset location permission and I found my log blank when I tried to check it, but turning location permission on fixed that.

### 5/5 — Very useful!!

*2025-07-20*

I’m 74, and my memory is terrible.  This app provides very helpful clues when I’m trying to remember what I was doing some time in the past.

### 4/5 — Delete option?

*2024-02-06, version 2.1*

I’m enjoying it so far thank you! 
I have a suggestion,
Could you enable the option to delete unnecessary stops from my daily route? For instance, taking a phone call on the side of the road isn't crucial, and sorting through numerous stops on the app can be frustrating. Alternatively, please consider adding a highlight feature to emphasise important stops.  
Thanks again!

### 5/5 — App was good, but not any more

*2023-12-09, version 2.1*

EDIT - 5 stars! App has been fixed and bug sorted out. Well done mate! App back to being awesome, and super handy

This app was fantastic, until the latest update For some reason on the latest update, it does not give you addresses any more. It just gives you time brackets for where your phone has sat still long enough to assume that you are at a location rather than travelling. We use this app for our service based business that allowed us to recall jobsites we had been to, and what times we were at the site. It was super helpful, but now as we don’t have addresses on every location, it has rented it almost useless. If the developers read this, it would be good if you could put the addresses back in. We have to use the Google history app, which is a little bit more cumbersome. So one star review until they put the address back, then I get to 5 star

### 1/5 — Stopped working after iOS17

*2023-12-07*

This was one of my favorite and most used apps before iOS17 was released. Unfortunately the app no longer lists the addresses of the different locations you’ve visited.

**Developer response:** I am very sorry for the bug that was in the previous version
This has now been fixed.  Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will try the app again.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-03, version 2.0*

Paid for this and it doesn’t record locations which is the purpose of the app. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — No Address Showing

*2023-11-27*

As of 10/26/23.. My address locations have just stopped showing. I have updated my software, checked "always" is on, restarted my phone multiple times. I don't know what else to do. This is a bit frustrating. This app had been a lifesaver for my work. Without addresses, it's a loss. Please help! ***Update *** I waited one month for the fix since the update. Nothing. So I deleted the app. What a shame.

**Developer response:** I am very sorry for the bug that was in the previous version
This has now been fixed.  Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will try the app again.

### 3/5 — NOT WORKING

*2023-11-25*

Im having the same problem as everyone else post just times and no locations, i hope its fixed soon or ill have to delete

**Developer response:** I am very sorry for the bug that was in the previous version
This has now been fixed.  Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will try the app again.

### 5/5 — I love this app. I wish it hadn’t broken.

*2023-11-21*

It no longer reports the address so getting useful data from it is hard. I’d gladly pay more money if it helped fix this. This is the only tool I know of that helps me keep track of where I was for my business without scraping and selling my data.

**Developer response:** I am very sorry for the bug that was in the previous version
This has now been fixed.  Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will try the app again.
