Where Have I Been (WHIB) is a great way to keep track of your life. WHIB automatically chronicles your day by dropping location crumbs as you move from one location to another. As you collect crumbs, they can be viewed in a variety of ways to help you understand how and where you spend your time. Find that amazing restaurant you went to, that shop you visited, and even your friend's address if you dropped in. Even if you think you know how you live your life, WHIB can tell you something new. We respect your privacy, and your personal information stays only with you. We use your battery very efficiently, using on average less than 3% of your battery per day. What can WHIB do for you? “Where was I this time last year?” - Go back in time and see where you were at any time since you installed the app; “How do I spend my time?” - Visually see how much time you spend flying, driving, walking, commuting, at work, at home, or in any other place; “How many places have I visited?” - World travelers can track every country and city they visit; Bill by the hour - Track how long you spend with each client at different locations; Consultants - Track and brag about all the countries and cities you've visited; Field Force - Pilots, delivery agents, field operations - track how long you're in air, on the road, or just out and about; Productive People - Keep track of your day so you can manage your time better; WHIB contains an in-app monthly subscription to upgrade to the premium version. Free users may use all the features of the app but have access to only the last three weeks of their data. Upgrade to the premium version using the in-app subscription to unlock access to your entire history. This app was named Journey for some time. ** Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app requires location services and a data connection on your device to work properly.
