Life Cycle - Track Your Time for Negative User Reviews
✓ Broken since iOS 13 and 13.1Loved this app - location privacy setting confirmed and rebooted as instructed in app - currently useless.Version: 3.1
✓ Isn't reading my sleep dataThe app is nice, but mostly not worth using as it doesn't import my sleep data from Health, so I don't have any sleep time. I've check that all the right settings are turned on but it just isn't working. Also would be nice if there was an 'All' tab so that after 6 months or 6 years you could see all the data, not just per month or per year..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Become useless over last few weeksIt used to be a really good little app but the locations have become unreliable over past few weeks. My 3 years’ worth of data have been ruined by weeks of inaccurate location data - like hours of “travel” recorded instead of “at home” day after day. My subscription expires in a few weeks, I won’t allow it to renew if this isnt fixed (last update was 3 months ago!). It’s a shame, it was a useful little app but, it can go and I can live without the historical data..Version: 3.1
✓ It's got potentialIt's improving... The data collected has the potential to be truely interesting and possibly useful... Maybe after a few more revisions. Pity data can't be imported or exported. There are some annoying issues however, e.g. Incorrect location (by almost a km), unable to add in data when several hours of the day have been "missed" or deleted due to incorrect location..Version: 1.5.1
✓ IOS15 problemsIOS15: locations are all over the place again. Doesn’t recognise some regularly visited places, such as work; recognises I’ve driven 2 hours, but then says I’ve spent the entire day at home, when I’m actually in a different part of the country. It’s a mess. Support not responding. Needs to be fixed ASAP, otherwise my subscription is a waste of money and I’ll cancel. iOS14: problem below sorted! iOS13: Been using this app for about 3 years now, it’s been great! However since updating to the latest version and iOS13, the locations have been inaccurate. They used to be pin-point precise, but now I just get a big blue 2 mile radius on the map. Please fix it!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Great potential but falls shortI’d love this app if it synced with my Fitbit but it doesn’t, and as I don’t always have my phone in my pocket in the house my steps always fall short on the app compared to my Fitbit. I’d also like it to prompt me to put information in about what I’m actually doing in my house. When I’ve tried to put in more detailed info manually it seems to mess up the times and doubles up time I’ve spent in the house. It also doesn’t have very accurate location info at times so I can be at my local pub which is also on my street and it doesn’t understand the difference between my house and the pub!!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Frustrating experienceI love Sleep Cycle so I hoped for a similar experience with this app. It did not happen. First, I work from home. This app does not properly calculate nor let you edit work time vs non work time. It doesn’t learn. When you try to edit, the app insists on not saving changes. I’ve spent too much time making the SAME edit to the SAME day but the app refuses to save/accept the changes. Sometimes, deleting the entire day and manually entering my activities is successful. But that defeats the purpose of paying a subscription for an app that is supposed to do this for me. It’s also nearly impossible to subtract my ‘lunch’ time from my ‘work’ time. So the data isn’t correct. I would have given this feedback directly to the developer but their support link does not work. The subscription is WAY too expensive for a service that doesn’t perform its basic function. The experience with this app could not be more different than that of Sleep Cycle..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Won’t work at allApp starts fine with the initial analysing period but when the Countdown is finished it just says that it couldn’t get enough data and then starts the Countdown all over again :-(.Version: 3.0.5
✓ No supportI found a bug that prevents me from navigating to any other screen from the activities screen. I wanted to report the bug, but there is no way to easily contact the developer through the app. I found the developers website, clicked on the contact link, and the link doesn’t work. What’s going on?.Version: 3.2.3
✓ SleepLoved this app. Until it decided to add multiple event of sleeping for no apparent reason, useless in term of data now since I would be sleeping 20h per day..Version: 3.1
✓ Got charged for a free trialThe app has a 1 month free trial for the premium version and I was charged the full annual premium subscription price immediately. If this was just a free month add-on to the premium subscription then it is misleading to call it a 1 month free trial. Absolutely disappointed by how misleading this app is. Either offer a free trial to see if we like the app or don’t. It’s horrible to just mislead customers like this..Version: 3.1
✓ Easy and intuitive, but buggyGreat idea, and so useful! Have loved using this app since I adopted it 18 months ago. Unfortunately, on iOS15, it’s quite buggy, and mis-categorises activities and places. Today, I ran a few errands and visited family, but the app missed the transport and every location other than home. Can this be fixed please?.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Pretty good with some complaintsDoes what it says but has a few bugs that I think should be ironed out. There are some activities you can’t delete and it’s kind of annoying. I don’t own a bike. I’m never going to cycle, so that option is just bloat to me. Things like lunch, flight, run, school are either activities I don’t choose to do or won’t. (If I’m running I’m being chased) I understand there’s probably a subroutine dedicated to detecting those activities which is why if they were deleted it would cause problems BUT I’d recommend they add a drop down of “recommended activities” to get around this so users can delete activities they don’t do. Just my 2 cents. If they do this I will change my review to 5 stars..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Not a good sign!It’s one of the biggest things I look for when considering a new app. I read the last update, how long ago it was and what they did. Then I read the reviews. I look for much more than just what people are saying. I look to see how many people are saying the same thing. How far apart the reports are. How long the same problem has been going on. But the biggest thing I look for is what/if anything the developers respond with, how they talk to people and what they say. I’ve read enough from this to know this isn’t an app for me. I’ve had this app for years, it never seemed much benefit to me. But I do enjoy the sleep app by the same developer. Having said that, I’m now considering looking for a new sleep app as well. Of all the people leaving reviews, the different concerns and the time between them...... not once have I seen a reply from the developer. Not a single word! You are expecting people to pay you for using your app. So where is your customer service? Do you not care if people use it or not? Ignoring the people that are supporting you by paying for your app, you are basically telling them that they don’t matter. Their needs and wants are not important. In short, by ignoring or not responding to people you are telling them, don’t like the app the way it is? Oh something isn’t working? Oh well sucks to be you. We are too busy to care. Congrats! I’m positive that you are going to be regretting that very soon. When the cash stops rolling in, you will care. Eventually. But by then it will be too late. Very poor business practices. Sad because I actually really enjoyed the sleep cycle app. But I’m sure there are other apps that care about what people are saying and asking for. Regards, Lady Karma 😘.Version: 3.1
✓ What happened?I’ve had this app since late 2016 and I’ve loved it. It’s great to see all sorts of trends and to keep track of my work hours or how often I end up at Target. For the last month or two, my locations are getting stuck, like others have mentioned. It logged my location from 11pm-730am as the Tim Hortons I go to every morning on my way to work (for months). I didn’t get there til 730, yet I slept there? It’s incredibly frustrating to go in and manually change this, and THEN, I’m going to have a “home” location at the Tim Hortons it’ll pick up every morning that’ll I’ll inevitably have to change. And it knew I got home last night at 11pm, yet didn’t log my location til the next day? I’m irritated by this. It’s been getting stuck on random roads for hours and, when that happens, I have an inaccurate day. I thought maybe it was because I wasn’t using my phone for it to “pick up” my location. Well, I checked the weather this morning at home, so I know gps knew where I was. Please fix this!!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ No longer works.Using this app since 2017. In the past months it has stopped logging locations accurately. Saying I have been at home for 100+ hours when I have been at work every day. I love this app but if it isn’t fixed soon I will be cancelling my premium account and finding a different way to log where I am for work..Version: 3.2.3
✓ It’s just plain wrong ...I got sleep cycle and thought it was pretty good, so I got Life Cycle. I left it running as it wanted, but the data it gave back after weeks of running was just complete rubbish. It would say, for example, that I spent 19 hours in bed asleep. Other activity was for 15 minutes in a location 20 miles away, or another entry for an unknown activity 3 miles away for 3 hours; both of these were at times when I was at home. The data that it got from Sleep Cycle seemed to be at odds with what Sleep Cycle would offer so I have no idea what was actually going on. Don’t get me wrong; I would really like to love this app, but right now it seems to be 90% inaccurate and 10% wrong..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Mostly goodAlthough this app is mostly useful, there is one major thing which drives me crazy. The app constantly fails to notice that I’ve left home and walked to the local shop, done some grocery shopping for half an hour and walked home. It says I’ve been at home all the time. This wouldn’t be such a problem if editing worked correctly, but it is totally illogical. If I tap the section of the chart that says I was at home, press the plus button, type in that I was at the shop for the last half hour, and change the location to the name of the local shop, I would expect it to physically move my location during that time to the local shop. Instead, it just creates a new location on top of my house with the same name as the local shop, with the result that the app then inexplicably decides I’m at the shops every time I’m at home. A lot of work needed..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Works okay but not as expectedIt tracks time and location, but of course it relies on you to tell it what you’re doing at each time and location. The ads lead you to think this app learns your habits, but really it’s just relying on you to tell it everything you’re doing on a regular basis. I have used it over a week and I do not see how it will be helpful yet. I was hoping it would have a more intelligent algorithm for behaviors but it is pretty plain overall. It shows that I had 8-14 hrs at home daily, but has no clue as to what I was doing during that time. So that is about half of my time overall where there is really no data to analyze or gain any insight from. It just says I spent 75 hrs at home this week. The travel part is potentially the most helpful as it tells me my time on the road but doesn’t tell me how many miles of course. It’s not for the business consumer I do not think. More for the curious person with some time to spare. IMO.Version: 3.1
✓ Sudden issueI’ve been using this app for a few months, and then out of the blue earlier this week, it stopped tracking my location. I went into my settings and checked, and it still showed that my location was enabled. I tried deleting and redownloading and it did it again. I’ve tried one more time, but every time I open it while it syncs with my life, it pops up saying that it needs to have the location services changed. I really want it to work because no other app does what I like that this one does, but if I can’t get this fixed, I’ll be forced to leave an even worse review. EDIT: after waiting and waiting for it find my location and restarting the initial location-finding many times, I’m giving up on it, at least for now. I throughly loved this app, and will be attempting it again in the future, but for now, given the fact that it seems to no longer be able to track my location for NO REASON, I’m being forced off out of frustration. Please update and fix..Version: 3.1
✓ $39 taken from me without asking or warningMy Credit card i could not use on my iPhone so i used my Roommates VISA to get iCloud $3.99 and then SleepCycle decided to pull out an old Subscription i had a trial for years ago at $39 leaving my roommate broke, i tried to refund threw apple but some server error happened then roommate freaked out because of the LifeCycle over priced app Stealing without asking or notifying, dont care if it was a year or two ago still need warning about taking money from someones home !!! Apple or SleeoCycle you guys better get abold of me quick or this will be spread like wild fire this robbery !!!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Needs improvements to justify subscriptionThe app does what it says it does. It could benefit from removing the character limit in the notes, make it possible to search the notes and create an iPad version of the app..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Kind of uselessI’ve been using the paid version for almost a year now. Yes it does track where you spend your time and that sort of peaked my curiosity when I first started using the app but after almost 11 months what does it really mean? I didn’t need an app to tell me most of my life is spent at work or commuting to and from work. Maybe if this info was surprising to someone maybe they could use it to make a positive change in their life but really it’s just kind of silly, especially when you are paying a premium. Anyway, I’m sure this info is being passed onto 3rd parties for whatever use to advertise stuff to us. Anyway the best advice is to save your cash, pay off some debts and get outside, enjoy life without tracking, breathe fresh air and spend time talking with someone instead of tracking useless data on your phone..Version: 3.0.5
✓ Great app but....I love this app a lot, but there are some small things that just keep adding up. For example when I do something between my “work” (school) and home, I want that activity to be its own activity, not a part of the “commute to home” I live really close to my school so this function serves me no purpose other than to bother me. I can’t even remove the “commute to home” because it’s a built in activity. Another thing is that I have a lot of activities I’ve done in the 2 years I’ve used this app, so when I go to manually track an activity I have to scroll through a massive amount of activities silently muttering the alphabet just to see if I’ve already made that activity before. I with there was a search feature for activities and I wish there was a way to remove the “commute to home”.Version: 3.1
✓ Still can’t track meIv used this app once before, months ago. It struggled to track me and I struggled to manually correct it. Iv noticed the same thing again. It didn’t track my drive home therefore it presumed I was home all day, where as I was at work. I tried to manually correct it but it made it worse. I will be deleting it again and may try again in another few months as I like the idea..Version: 3.1
✓ Not worth the technology it’s written onI thought this was going to be good for having comparative records of where time is spent, but after 11 months of using it now it honestly seems that one would be better off making notes in a diary or comparing things there, as this app is so far off the mark way too often and have to spend a great deal of tome trying to make corrections(when it even allows). Certainly not worth paying a fee for to install and for subscription. Have contacted support several times now showing them examples of bugs within it and they don’t seem to care, basically telling to ignore the issue or try n fix the record problems caused by it on my own..Version: 3.2.3
✓ ConfusedIt puts my home address and my work address in the same category and I can't separate them! Even though they are a good 50km apart. Other than that critical flaw seems like an interesting app..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Good app that gets expensiveFirstly, it’s a great app, works well and is accurate from my experience. I would even say it’s worth the 14$AUD a year for the premium version. BUT note, if you want it to connect with sleep cycle (their other app) then that will cost you another 32$AUD a year. Which makes this a pretty expensive app at the end of the day, and not worth the price. Free version is ok though, but I wish the overall price was lower so that I could justify buying additional features to get the most out of what seems to be a nice app..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Stuck Locations, Poor SupportI want to like this app, but it keeps getting “stuck” at locations. Right now it tells me I have been at the pharmacy for the last 21 hours and counting. I stopped there yesterday for 5 minutes and then went home, where I have been ever since. The pharmacy is 2 miles from my house. I can try to fix this once the app decides I’ve left the pharmacy, but I will lose my auto-logged sleep. This happens at least once a week. At least 3 times I have become “stuck” at stoplights or other random points on roads. The first time this happened I got “stuck” at a gas station for 72 hours. I emailed for help, and I was told to update the app and iOS. Both were already up to date. So they told me to reset ALL Location & Privacy Settings on my phone. No. Not happening. I have similar tracking apps and they are just fine. The second time I emailed about the problem I didn’t receive a response. I’m really surprised, I’d expect better from the creators of Sleep Cycle..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Useless without an updateI’ve used this app for years to help me track where I go and when. However with the newest iOS update, it has stopped tracking any of my moments and just shows me at home with the occasional sleep log. It’s basically a useless app now..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Not worth itWhen I read the reviews that this was too simplistic I thought it couldn’t be too bad as I quite like minimalist things. This isn’t minimal, it’s under developed. The location services are terrible, and logging only walks of 5 minutes or more means my commute isn’t logged. The location of my ‘home’ is way off and randomly throughout the day when I haven’t moved, apparently I have been located elsewhere for 5 hours. Maybe it only works for premium members? I was at my work today for 7 hours but the app logged me home for all of that time. I also thought it might log things like time on social media apps as well but it doesn’t. Pointless app..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Doesn’t pick up when I’ve left home or workThe app can’t tell when I’ve left home or work (5kms apart), so the data is completely wrong. Nice idea but no point in using with faulty tracking..Version: 3.1
✓ Great app but needs moreI love this app. I would give it 5 stars, but it needs more... Some functionality suggestions: 1: integrate with other apps like eBay (how long do I spend shopping..?), and Facebook/Instagram etc - how much time do I spend on social media? 2: option to add recurring activities, rather than adding the same things every day. 3: Sub categories for all activities, and or the option to add them, many are too broad. 4: more linking in with the Health app - ie workouts, weight tracking, and even menstrual cycles if you’re a female! 5: a daily push notification if there are uncategorised locations or activities that need updating manually..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Does not work with iOS 13 updateI received a notice that the app had my “weekly donut” but when I opened the app I received a notice that a iOS “positioning service” bug had left my whole week untracked. It said to restart my phone, which I did several times, but it still has not been working. Now when I go to seek answers there is no app support contact (the one they do have requires a reCAPTCHA that does not appear?) and they apparently don’t use Twitter. For someone who has used this app for years, I’m really disappointed with how this was handled. There was no notification that my app wasn’t recording my events and there seems to be no way to communicate with them about this issue. So I’m hoping that they will read this review and fix the issue ASAP..Version: 3.1
✓ Currently useless...The app no longer record my activities since I updated to ios13..Version: 3.1
✓ Massive data security riskSo in light of the Facebook scandal I’ve taken some time to understand how some companies treat my data with some apps... this one has to present the biggest concern of all the ones I use, given it offers real time locations of where you go and what you do... please take note of one of the terms in Lifecycles t&c’s: ‘In certain circumstances which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you’... Who’s to say who the third party is? My advice is stay well clear of such an app, you’re giving them huge amounts of data and they’re sharing it with third parties. Who are the third parties? More election rigging companies perhaps? Who knows but be aware..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Was good for the first month or twoWas good for the first month or two. But turns into a mess after that. Takes ages to load. Won’t respond to clicking anything. Says I haven’t done groceries for two months so obviously doesn’t register my locations properly and I can’t edit anything cause it won’t respond. Great idea. But the app doesn’t work..Version: 2.1.1
✓ ConcernedWondering why it’s saying my sleep location is the same as my work location when I live 23 minutes away in a different town..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Great but BuggyThis app is great but every now and then it messes up your locations regardless of having the app open in the back ground and perfect reception. For example, went to the beach yesterday, drove for 5 hours, went to a mates house and it said I was (pending) all day and only made one stop (the beach) and says I’m still there now when I’m at home. Very hard to edit these errors too..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Getting frustratedI’ve had the app for almost a year now, which I have enjoyed that is up until the last week & a half, the app isn’t working properly which is highly upsetting. There’s ZERO way to send issues through the support part of the app. I’ve gone through the steps given when things aren’t tracking, but now today it’s stating that I’m at my work location when I’ve very clearly been at my home location since 9:40 pm the night before!! Make it easier to reach out for help when issues occur like this. I should NOT have to remove & redownload the app in the hopes of it fixing this issue. It works fine one day & then the next day it’s back to the same issues!!!! PLEASE FIX WHATEVER IT IS THAT’S GOING ON, I truly want to enjoy using the app once again.Version: 3.2.3
✓ You will be free . It counts 27 hours per daySuch a great feature This app will give you more than 24 hours a day to you. I’ve used this app for more than 3 or 4 years and now I surprised it shows more than 26 hours of activity for a day. Are you serious guys!?🤯.Version: 3.2.3
✓ App no longer worksApp used to be very good. However, since the latest iOS updates (13 and on), app doesn’t work anymore. It’s very disappointing the app is not being updated for almost a year. Obviously, the developer has abandoned us..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Great Idea…if it worked reliablyJust doesn’t work reliably, plain and simple. I’ve been using it and have found it just fails to track some locations. Just glitches. Contacted support and did everything they recommend but no dice. I don’t have time to waste on an app that’s literally just supposed to work in the background. If it doesn’t work reliably then it’s just a waste. Cool idea, but don’t bother. They just are not supporting the app or bothering to fix it..Version: 3.2.3
✓ IOS13 compatibility still lacking<update>A few weeks later and the issue still has not been fixed. And none of the fixes proposed by people here have worked. As a result, I have now cancelled my subscription. Such a shame, after a few years of data this was a useful tool.</update> Ever since upgrading to iOS 13, the app has complained it does not get positioning data from iOS. It’s still got full access from Location Services, and I have rebooted the phone as instructed, and even tried to reinstall the app to no avail. Needless to say if this doesn’t get fixed soon I will not be renewing my subscription when it comes due in end-October..Version: 3.1
✓ No syncingBeen using this for about 3 months now had no issues. But now even though I’ve gone to work, a friends place and done a few errands it still says I’m at home still even though my location services are on and wifi always on. I hate having to manually change the parts on the wheel. Some days it works perfectly and other days doesn’t register anything.Version: 2.3.1
✓ A once excellent app now mediocre.Unfortunately this app has really suffered since iOS 15. The location tracking just doesn’t work any more and without this the app relies very heavily on your own manual input every day. If you have to manually update it yourself all the time then it’s not really serving its purpose any more. The fact that it also hasn’t had a single update for over ten months now is quite telling, it’s looks like the developers are no longer maintaining it. It’s a shame but I’ve now cancelled by premium subscription and I would encourage everyone else to do the same..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Marche pasRien ne fonctionne Il ne trouve pas ma position Me demande de redémarrer mon cellulaire.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Tracks location & activity history Before begin!First, the app wouldn't even let me use it if I chose the location services off option, Even though it asked me if I wanted to do that! I decided to enable it to see if it would work then, and it did. But then after I logged in with my Apple password, it did this creepy thing. It said it was getting to know me by looking at my location and activity history. I'm not sure what activities it's talking about, unless it means the places I'm going, according to Google. I thought I had turned that off for Google too though. This Would be an awesome app, if it would just let me log what I want, then it create graphs for me. That's entirely within their ability of course, but I highly suspect what they're doing is selling peoples' data. After all, it's not like Apple can check to see if apps are telling the truth about that. Even worse, is I would eventually be Paying them to access my Personal data. Just not worth it. I can't find a good app for what I want, and I've looked and tested a Lot. I've been considering just doing the old fashion thing of using graph paper to see trends, especially because you can see Much more at a time. There are certainly ways that would be better. I just like the convenience of an app on my phone, since it's nearby, and I won't lose it. However, I've been getting better about keeping up with my papers:), and I can after all put them in my pocket with a pencil:)..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreI’ve been using this app for over 3 years without issue. I upgraded to iPhone 13 2 days ago and the app hasn’t worked properly since. Doesn’t locate me, despite doing the fixes that the app team instructed me to do. Intermittent at best.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Not A Well Maintained AppI’ve used this app for years and was a premium subscriber until I checked my subscriptions just now and noticed that the annual price has increased by 40%. Given that the app doesn’t get updated often and that there are a few usability improvements that could be made, I no longer feel it’s value for money. I’ll continue to use the free version instead. Also the FAQ’s page is still stating that the premium is $9:99 which is inaccurate. I had no prior notification of the increase in price either..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Doesn’t work on iOS 13The app no longer works on the new iPhone iOS 13. Hopefully the devs fix it sooner than later.Version: 3.1
✓ Alright butI would like to be able to edit activities/delete activities, for instance I do not go to school but, it won’t let me edit it (other than the colour and icon) or remove it completely. Please fix and then I will edit review and give five stars..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Waste of timeI don’t understand how this has such high reviews, it got everything completely wrong. It took two days to calibrate and when it said it was ready the graph showed I had been at home for the entire previous day when in fact I had been to three appts in two different towns and an evening class in another location, and was barely at home at all. For the current day it showed I was asleep for 10 hours, even though I also use the sleep cycle app, which I believe is by the same company, that says I was barely asleep for 7 hours. When I tried to update where I had been the day before I accidentally wrote the wrong company name into a geotagged location (which was also the wrong location for where I had been, nor was it my home address) and now I can’t delete it. I did however delete the app, if I want to know what I do all day I would be better off writing it down myself..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Needs a few changesI’ve been trying out the free trail for a few weeks, and I love the idea behind this app so far. However, I will not be paying for premium and don’t see myself sticking even to the free version because of a few small bugs that irritate me. First, there are some bugs with this app tracking location. It can sometimes take a couple days for it to pop up that I was in an area or it won’t show up at all, then I have to enter it manually (which is both annoying and inaccurate). Second, why can’t I edit the activities already in the app? I don’t need a lunch and dinner option, just a “food” option. I could create my own, but it still irritates me to see the other options cluttering up my activities. Third, an activity at a uncategorized location will have a general area on a map tagged to it. But once I put in a custom name for the location, sometimes the location is untagged? Fourth, I’d like to be able to start an activity in the app somehow and stop it manually. Rather than having to remember my start and stop times and enter it after I finish if I want to manually create an activity. Finally, it would be nice to have more color options and be able to view my day in chronological order as well as by category. Overall the concept behind this app is great but I’m going to delete it because the execution makes the app more difficult to use than it’s insights are worth..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Stupid AppWont let you use the app if you dont wanna share your location. I want to manually track my hours of day. Please stop forcing us to turn on location services..Version: 3.1
✓ Good for regular routinesI’ve been using the app for over two years and have always thought it was good except for a few frustrations at times. More recently we’ve started travelling more, working on the road. The app seems to find it increasingly difficult to identify locations, and trying to add work time across multiple and ever changing locations gets harder and harder. It got to the point where it wasn’t worth the effort trying to correct entries and keep it up to date. As a consequence I’ve removed the app..Version: 3.1
✓ Could really use some improvementsUsually during the day I leave my house more than once. One time at 7:00 AM to go to school, and another at 5:30 to go to rehearsal for my schools show that we’re working on. (Which is also held at the school) For one thing, when I go to school for 7 hrs the app does great and tells me exactly how long I was at school, but when I go to school again later that day, it just adds it to the current 7 hrs I already had instead of having it separately. Also leaving the house to go to school at 5:00, that’s when the app thinks I’m going to school for an actual day rather than rehearsal, so the app will say “you left at 7:03 today, which is earlier than your usual 5:00 PM. So basically just a few minor defects that kind of get in the way so if you could look into it that would be great, thanks! :).Version: 3.0.5
✓ OK. Wish it would track my phone use timeI was excited to download and try this app. I love the sister app Sleep Cycle, so had high expectations for this one. I had hoped that Life Cycle would track how much time I spent using my phone during the day to help me realise just how much I'm using it. But it doesn't do that which is a big disappointment. If you've got a regular 9-5 job I'm not really sure this app is worth it. It'll tell you how much time you've spent at home, and how much time you spent commuting to and from work, and how much time you spent at work. If you don't spend much time out of the home when you're not at work this app is kind of a bit pointless..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Really Wanted to Like, But Not For Me**First, the app is physically unusable for the first 36 hours, which is kind of crummy because they offer the free trial BEFORE they tell you you can’t do anything with it for the first day and a half. It didn’t affect me because I never sign up for free trials until I’ve tried the actual free stuff. Okay, it promised me fantastic insights if I let it run, so I did. And it turns out—I stay at home. I was already aware. Any other insights or logging (exercise, sleep, activities) seemed to require a subscription. Maybe if you aren’t turned off at the get-go like I was and actually chanced the subscription, it’s great. Or, you know, work outside the home and enjoy a social life. I recognize that this is a *me* problem, but if there are more me’s out there, figure I’d save you the 36 hours..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Need to be able to adjust locationNeed to be able to adjust location, when GPS location is inaccurate. I live next to a shopping center and it annoys me that after I’ve been to the shops, it still logs as I was in the shopping center, including sleeping there overnight. There’s also a place where I work where for some reason GPS seems to be bad. Throughout the day, it’s moves all over the place, even over 1km away..Version: 3.1
✓ Inaccurate locationsI first downloaded this about a year ago and used it for a month or two and it was fine, then they updated the version and the location tracking has been atrocious ever since. I regularly go to one location which is a 10 min walk from my house but because the locations cover such a large distance it doesn’t recognise the walk between and for example will say I left one location and 8.45 and arrived in the next one at 8.46 when in actual fact the timings were 8.40 and 8.50 with a 10 min walk between. It also logs locations when you are stuck at traffic lights for a minute or two and it only updates every 5 mins or so, so for example if you go on a short car journey of a mile or two and then head back shortly afterwards (dropping someone at the station for example) it will log a random halfway point where you have been waiting in traffic and say you have been there for 15 mins. Each time it updates, the location settings seem to get worse and I think I’m going to delete this app if the glitch isn’t corrected on the next update. It might be fine if you live in an area where there are huge distances between locations but in the U.K. (particularly the major cities), where people live in terraces and live and work on narrow streets and lots of places are easy walking distance, this is not very accurate..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Was great but not anymoreI’ve been using Life Cycle for almost 5 years and have loved it but the app hasn’t been working for the last several months. It no longer tracks locations making it pretty useless. I’m sad to have to move on to another option after collecting data for so long..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Nice idea but...Didn’t work for me. I work in the community so every time I did a visit in a new home it would ask me where it is and not recognize it as work hours, so my average work time per week came up as something like 27 hours even though I work full time. Sometimes when I was at home it would say I was having coffee for 4h (the coffee shop is over 100m down the road). I can see how it would be useful for some but it’s especially useless for anyone whose job requires driving round different places so I’m surprised i haven’t seen more reviews with the same issue..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Used to be goodI loved this app at the beginning. BUT now it’s useless. It no longer identifies locations… Very disappointing..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Locations not accurate, difficult to modify manuallyThe idea is great but they need a better location provider. An example: my work is near my home, like 60-70m. It says that I spent all day at home, and doesn’t want to recognise the other place. It should be easier to modify a location manually. Sometimes it tells places and times where I’ve never been, taking me time to think about and nothing comes in mind. If I want to zoom to have a look of the place, the red flag disappears, so I can’t find it exatly where I have been. Also, icons should be updated with other activity symbols. The discrete automatic places collection is great, when you see at the end of the day or the week, but it gives wrong data because of the location services. A new option would be nice, if for example when you visit new places or make a new activity, the app could ask to input the data with a message, to not forget where you’ve been or did. Not everybody open the app all the day or at night time to input what he/she did. Overall I like the idea, but still not the functioning of the app. Graphics are friendly, nice and clean..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Used to be greatHave used this app for years and it used to work really well. Now, not so much. It constantly picks up my home as a supermarket that doesn’t even exist (and has never existed!), despite wearing an Apple Watch and connecting it to Apple health it doesn’t calculate my steps even close to correctly, and there are SO many locations that have to be entered manually even when you can see them named on the map. I’m in a sunk cost fallacy with this app..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Needs an update for iOS 15Since the new iOS, this app can no longer accurately update the location information. This renders the app completely useless considering this is its primary function! Very disappointing. For example, I had an hour or more of driving and several hours out of the home today. But today’s info only shows home and sleep. I’d been using this app for years up to this point. Now I’ve deleted it from my device. When it works, this is a five star app..Version: 3.2.3
✓ First year of use is the most usefulI think the concept has a lot of potential. I like the level of customization but location is not precise enough to differentiate between places near to each other, meaning that you constantly have to correct it, yet the app doesn’t adjust automatically next time. Eventually it starts to miss HOURS of activities nowhere near your home, and shows that you were home. I think the devs just gave up on it, lol. Oh well, back to manual journalling it is..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Love the app but it could be betterI've been using this app since February of 2017 and love it, and have become a LITTLE obessed with keeping track of what I do throughout the day. I think I may have mentioned this in another review but 'Travel'doesn't stay when you add in another activity that happens at the same time such as 'Music'. The travel gets erased leaving me with no travel at the end of the month. I've noticed the same happens with 'shopping' will get erased if something happens. I take the bus twice a week and have created a tag for it because by travel is ever logged if I'm doing something esle. Recently I've had this problem with imputing sleep if I'm listen to music at the same time. Sleep will disappear. In order to get both I have to put music before and after the time I fall asleep which means the data for 'music' isn't correct. The same can be said for 'walking'. I'll out in the time and it'll only record ONE MINUTE which is beyond irritating. Please fix this. These have been bugs for a LONG TIME and need to be fixed in the next update..Version: 3.1
✓ Great idea, poor executionAs per title, this app would be great if it could get locations more accurate. Often times it thinks I was two suburbs away. And when I am home it often says I am shopping, which is 2 km away. I would like to keep track of how much time I spend walking, but it doesn’t credit me for up to 30% of my walk time. And then if you go to the effort to manually correct it, the app doesn’t correct the error and keeps saying for example that I am shopping. Doesn’t it believe me? I always have cellular, wifi and Bluetooth turned on, so can’t be a connection issue I have it connected to the Health app and allowed it to read Health info. I would definitely pay for pro version if it was accurate, but definitely not worth paying for at present..Version: 3.1
✓ Great app but needs workThis is a great app which would be perfect if locations were more accurate. They’re very vague in a lot of cases, which defeats the purpose. There needs to be a way of specific addresses being identified rather than some showing as the same vague location. If you do two different daily activities (eg gym and post office) they are both often identified as the same activity. Too time consuming to enter them separately later, if you can even remember the times (goes back to defeating the purpose). More colours and icons would be useful too..Version: 2.2.1
✓ No longer records location properlyLocations are not working properly anymore. Not worth purchasing until this is fixed.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Not great for a home officeI work in property management out of a home office. Using the app was interesting at first so I subscribed to the premium version. I work & eat much of the time at the same place I sleep & watch TV. Eventually I got tired of making corrections. For example, if you go to a new place it will show in your “daily donut” as a space with a question mark. Since I work from home, it would show me working or sleeping 16 hours a day, for example. If I changed the start & end times to show an 8 hour work day, it would be nice if the other 8 eight hours would automatically show up as a space with a question mark. Instead, I have to go through the gyrations of adding an 8 hour event for sleep. Otherwise I have a 16 hour day! Not worth the trouble..Version: 3.1
✓ UselessGreat concept, but the longer it tracks you the less accurate it gets. Correcting it is a big waste of time because it doesn’t learn from your corrections..Version: 3.1
✓ No use for this, inaccurate and app crashesI took out the trial version intending to buy the yearly subscription. But too often the app left me with a complete white screen on my Iphone X, crashed and became unresponsive and the time was although put to the right time zone always wrong. Places also inaccurate. You only notice after the app tracked you for about a week. The why pay 15$ per week for yet another app that tracks my movements. Who needs this ?.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Poor/deceptive practices ruin a good appI purchased the original version of sleep cycle prior to the subscription model, and it’s been very solid during that time. As I liked sleep cycle I also downloaded lifecycle which in theory should integrate with sleep cycle. I paid for a subscription for lifecycle, only to discover unless I pay $40/year for a subscription for sleepcycle as well - for just one feature - I can’t use the integration between the two apps. I totally get that they need ongoing funds to support the development of their apps, but it makes for a poor experience for long time users who have already paid if they can’t use the integration. I was more than happy to pay for the lifecycle subscription (which I have done) but this leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It’s a real pity as the lifecycle app is a great app, and does its job very well. Hopefully they sort out their practices and I can continue to support these apps..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Took my money without my permissionTried to sign up for the free 30 day trial but it charged me the $12.99 yearly fee instead. The app support button in the App Store leads to a broken link..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Pointless waste of dataI downloaded this app in conjunction with their alarm clock app. After about two weeks of using it, I found the data collected by the app pointless and if no real value. I was under the impression that with some of the data points collected, I would be able to identify problem areas in my time management. This was not the case, and I fond myself staring at a pie chart with a bunch of random useless numbers. The inability to properly categorized activities makes some of the data collected inaccurate, for example I am a rideshare driver, however the app lumps on my driving into one category transportation it doesn’t allow you to take into consideration what is ride share related or personal use. Overall I found this app a waste of money, data, and my personal time that I wasted trying to figure it out..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not working since ios13 updateApparently I’m home all the time at the mo even though preliminary map shows I’m in work. Not worked / tracked since ios13 update. Tried the ‘turn phone off and on again’ message that now appears when opening the app but still not working Update.... it’s still not working!! I’ve been in contact with customer support and done what they’ve said with making sure locations is always on, switch phone off and on again (although already done it 4 times!), deleted and re downloaded the app and again ‘analysing’. Hope there is an update soon otherwise no point keeping the app on my phone.Version: 3.1
✓ CoolIt is cool but it is dumb how you have to bay for some stuff I know that how you make money but yeah it is so dumb..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Please update workoutsEvery time my Health app logs a newer workout category like "fitness gaming" this app creates a "null" activity that I can't delete. Please fix, I've been paying a subscription for this app or like 5 years now..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Pretty good but glitchy.The weekly donut graphs have not been working properly for ages, they show now data for the last 8 weeks and when you try to contact the developer they don’t respond..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Groups way too many thingsI’m struggling to see the point of this app if you have a regular day job. I tend to do a lot of other things/errands after work, like anything from going to the gym, going to the stores, or getting my nails or whatever done, and it just groups it all as “Commute from work”. Basically my donuts look the exact same every week and it’s really just annoying that you can’t choose to ungroup the commute from work. There’s bits that are great, like when you’re on holiday, but the restrictive parts of the app make it almost not worth it..Version: 3.0
✓ What’s going on?Have had it working well for years and up until a few months ago it was accurately displaying my locations. It no longer picks up when I’m at work or home or out for a walk, or any of the locations it previously logged. I can manually put data in but that defeats the purpose. Sadly, I’m ready to delete the app..Version: 3.2.3
✓ More Development NeededA great app for tracking where you spend your time, as far as it goes. It helps you check on your work-life balance as you compare the time you spend on work and on family activities. However, I have recently deleted the app from my devices, as in my view, it needs more development. The Apple Watch has had independent WiFi/mobile data and GPS capabilities for at least a couple of years now, but the app continues to rely on the iPhone for its tracking capabilities. Those of us who want to leave our phones at home when we’re out on some activities are forced to carry them with us if we want the app to track those activities. That does not help our work-life balance!.Version: 3.1
✓ Sleep tracking consistently wrongThe good: - very easy to track when I’m at work and when I’m not; useful for submitting timesheets with very accurate timing - gives you a good idea of how much time you spend at work/home/gym although it’s kind of useless information and the novelty wears off The bad: - Constantly doubles up on sleep time with sleep cycle. I’ve been using sleep cycle for years without issue. This thing for example said today I slept 25h40m. How is that even possible to show up in the app??? It logged two entries, one for itself when the phone was idle, one from sleep cycle. There should be a way to TURN OFF the idle phone logging. I’ve raised this with developers. - because of above issues and occasional not logging gps location I’ve essentially only used this for work time tracking. I would not pay for price for this app.Version: 2.0.2
✓ No longer gets any feature updates :(🥺🥺🥺 could be fantastic if devs put time behind it / market it more / redesign.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Fix it pleaseHasn’t worked since the latest ios update. Troubleshooting instructions do nothing. Right now a pointless app..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Too many inaccuraciesIt’s a good app and I have originally signed up to the premium but I will be cancelling that before I’m charged. The app misses to many things off and even when I add them manually it doesn’t then add them to the doughnut. Until the bugs are taken out I’ll stick with the basic mode I have now down graded this to one star from two. I’ve noticed more and more glitches within the app for various times and location is one of them. It says I’ve been somewhere when I haven’t, I may have just been that I was stuck at traffic lights on my trip to work. The idea of the app is good but in the whole there is better out there.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Don’t use it. Privacy concernsDon’t use this app. It asks for your iCloud access. If your data is stored on the phone as this company claims, they don’t need iCloud access. In the age where even companies like Facebook openly lie, you need to be extra careful when using an app such as this one.Version: 3.0.6
✓ IOS 15 IssueI’ve been using this app for years and love it! Recently updated to iOS 15 and now it has all sorts of problem. It isn’t tracking much at all. I’ve restarted and flipped location on and off. I’ve done everything I could find to try and it just hasn’t helped. Rather frustrating! It has about 12 locations now for work and I only have one office. I can’t figure out how to delete the others. Hoping they get a fix soon but it looks like the last update was at least a year ago. Updated to drop my rating to 1 star. So disappointed! I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed using it until it stopped working. It has now had me in the same preliminary location for 3 days despite it being 300 miles away. I ‘be done everything that’s suggested to fix it short of deleting it. I have actually used the years of history in the past. I’ve also contacted support but got an ‘out of office’ reply. I’m searching for a new tracker now :(.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Needs Better CustomizationI drive a lot for work. I might make 20+ stops in a small area daily. Since we can’t choose a customized zone on the map to label for an activity, I have to change multiple “mystery activities” to show as “work”. I don’t feel like tediously going to each day in the app, manually picking each mystery activity, changing it to “work,” then going back out and repeating it a bunch of times. This lack of control makes this app halfway-useless for me since I can’t accurately tell how much of my day, week, or month is actually spent driving around for work. This app might be fantastic for people with “normal” jobs where they drive to one building each day, but for anyone on-the-go, it takes a ton of time to feed the app info to make it relevant..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Used to be okUsed to be good but it doesn’t pick up locations very well so makes it a waste of time.Version: 3.2.3
✓ I don’t get it? Also almost all data is totally wrong.I’ve used this app for several weeks now in conjunction with Sleep Cycle (which I’ve used off and on since 2009 and which has only gotten worse and worse with each “improvement”) and I still don’t understand what I’m supposed to get out of this. I have to manually add or correct almost every activity which is tedious and time consuming. It gets basically every location and amount of time spent there wrong, and somehow despite being linked with Sleep Cycle which I’ve been using every day along with this, it has totally different info about time spent sleeping. This last week it said my average time spent sleeping was more than any individual day in Sleep Cycle (and about three times as much as I actually slept on average. Now that it is finally giving me trends they’re extremely simplistic and uninteresting. Even worse, the much touted journal feature has an extremely short character limit that renders it essentially useless. I know I’m kind of wordy but there wasn’t a single event that I could even fully describe, let alone reflect on. Give this one a hard pass, it’s a total waste of time (and a lot of time, at that)..Version: 3.1
✓ Four Days to Sync?!I have downloaded with the intention of starting 2018 off with life cycle but it is telling me I can’t use it for 80 hours as it is collecting data in the background. Is this usual...?.Version: 2.0.2
✓ IOS 13.1.2 Location Services Stopped WorkingUpgraded to iOS 13.1.2 on Saturday and location services have stopped working suddenly. I had 4 months of great data and now no data for three days and counting. Please fix it! Other than this bug, been enjoying the app and keeping track of how I spend my time. Love that it is connected to the Ten Percent meditation app and health data so it automatically logs my meditation sessions. It also does a good job of logging my workouts, sleep, and time at office. Wish they’d design it where you can create a new activity and set the duration by clicking a button that says five or ten minutes instead of having to set the end time. I end up spending too much time trying to log my many ten minute book reading breaks daily. Since I read in my office hallway or lounge area, it doesn’t auto log it because it thinks I’m just in the office..Version: 3.1
✓ No longer usefulI've used this app religiously for more than three years as a paid subscriber and have gathered a great amount of data -- it has always worked flawlessly, until now. In the last couple of months it has suddenly become quite inaccurate. Sometimes its locations are so unspecific their radiuses cover half the city. Other times it records locations of places I haven't set foot in for months. All this is happening despite the Significant Locations showing up in my iPhone Settings accurately. I've reached out to their support team multiple times and they seem to just shrug and say it's a problem they're aware of and that "sadly a fix for this is not near." 3+ years of data, coming to a stop. Buyer beware..Version: 3.1
✓ Not Completely Automatic.I have been using this for a number of years now. At first I understood that I needed to tell it what I was doing as it learned the locations and many times it was just unable to get it close. After years of it having inaccurate location data I finally decided to raise a case with support just to find out if I can manually move the map pin to the correct location. I was told that it is unable to change the pin as it just pulls the data from the built in location services that the phone does automatically. Upon learning how it does it, I was able to look up the data from the most recent inaccurate map pin only to find that the phone had the location correct. I also noticed that the times on the in built data was more accurate than life cycle. I wrote back to support saying that the phone had the correct location and asked how can I get the app to use it. The response I got back that it wasn’t possible and just to create an event manually. When you do that though it doesn’t let you pick an address or location on a map so if you return you have to hope it gets it right when you go back. Would have given a higher rating if they showed some effort at improving it. But since there has been hardly any changes to the app since it started I shouldn’t expect them to start it now..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Has potentialThis app gets more interesting data insights over time especially with the ability to refine activity entries by manual updates and defining locations and activities..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Needs optimising for new iOS I thinkI’ve had this app since 2016 and it’s been absolutely fantastic until about a month ago where every few days it doesn’t track anything at all, I have to manually add what I did and guess what times I did them so I can keep on top of everything. There’s not been an update in over a year so I think if they updated it to be better compatible with iOS 15 then perhaps that would solve the issues, please fix this Lifecycle I love your app and I don’t want to cancel my subscription but if it stays like this it won’t be worth it!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Fun While it LastedDo not make a mistake when editing an activity or location! It may change your entire history. Searching Help for this issue is futile. I work from home, so I have to manually enter my work hours every workday. I tried to fix a location error because it thought I spent nearly two hours at a restaurant when the majority of that time was spent at a nearby gym, and it wouldn’t let me pick the gym location. One thing led to another, it snowballed, and now it looks like I worked over 2,000 hours last month! My entire history is wrong now. This app gave good insight and some motivation when it was correct, but it’s not worth the time and frustration fixing location/activity inaccuracies for the Premium subscription. I’m cancelling and researching other options..Version: 3.0.6
✓ No localisationDepuis peu, l’application ne capte plus mes déplacement. J’utilise depuis quelques année. C’est dommage..Version: 3.1
✓ Apple glitches not fixed & with no help to find.Since I downloaded the latest apple running system this app crashed and has become USELESS. The ‘how to fix’ fixes don’t work no matter how often I try them. They say contact support but there is no link to support s basically you are on your own. I have paid for premium membership FOR WHAT !? Premium IT DOESN'T WORK ! I have to enter every visit manually so it is a circular diary that I pay to run myself as the app has stopped working. Well thank goodness it is due for renewal early December. This gives them time to fix it before I cancel my membership and go back to my FREE diary. I have emailed the developers three times about this problem, no one has the manners to answer me or the ability it seems, to fix the problem. So I am forced to vent here on feedback to save some of you from the sane fate. Up until this happened I loved this app and wouldn't be without it. But the last month of frustrations and the same no helpful help, has led to this scathing rebuke. They ( the developers) only have there complacency to blame..Version: 3.1
✓ This app does not track activities, only locations.I don't think the makers of this app are intentionally trying to misrepresent it but it does not track activities. It only keeps track of locations and the amount of time you spent at them. And those locations need to be too distant from each other for this app to be useful to those of us who work at home. My office and studio are about 20' from each other and not far from my bedroom and kitchen. You would hope this app could identify those locations, maybe from Apple Watch arm motion patterns, and differentiate desk work from studio or house work. But nope. It lumps my entire day together as being "home". The app also doesn't show how much time I spend using different apps such on my phone or let me designate which apps are for business, creative work, communications or leisure, let alone that it doesn't do similar by accessing such data from my use of my Macs. To sum up: this app is no use at all unless your different activities are in different locations that are sufficiently far apart. It's a waste of time to even download it if you work at home and the developers should have made that clear. It is activity categorization appears entirely location-based. This is also a very low resolution location tracker that's unable to differentiate locations anywhere near as precisely as Maps. If 2 locations in my home are 90’ apart it still doesn’t notice I’m not in the same place. It is NOT an activity monitor as claimed..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Love itI absolutely love the app and I love how you can look back at places you visited, the app connects to my Apple Watch and I genuinely don’t mind paying for the premium account my only complaint is that it hasn’t been recording my locations or my steps and then one day it records everything it should do , so my doughnut can show several days as home and sleep and other days with all my activities, I’m actually due to renew my subscription but at present it isn’t doing as it should so not to sure if it’s worth renewing.Version: 3.2.3
✓ BuggyEvery time I open the app, it tells me I need to verify my account and every time I tell it to email me it does not send me an email. This happened years ago and I deleted the app and it’s still happening now. My email is correct and I’ve checked my junk. The app also randomly stops tracking location. It is set to always allow location tracking and most days it works, and then sometimes it just says I’ve been at home all day when I haven’t been..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Not sure what’s happenedI’ve been using Life Cycle for years now and loved it! Never had any problems and it’s worked great. But now I’m not sure what’s happened. Over the past few days I’ve noticed the locations in the app don’t seem to change, even when I change locations. It says I spend the whole day at home when I’m at work, or vice versa, it says I’m at work 14 hours when I’m at home! Not sure when the app was last updated but maybe it’s due another. Like I said before, usually the app is perfect but out of nowhere it’s started playing up. All my location settings have stayed the same so I don’t think it’s that. Not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this but it just feels like it’s now messing up the years worth of data and not letting me change it. Hopefully there’s an update with a bug patch soon!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Terrible customer serviceI have used Life Cycle (and Northcube’s linked app, Sleep Cycle) for roughly three years as a premium subscriber. Over that time, I have found the information useful and the app itself fairly intuitive. However, last week, my app stopped logging location changes or recognizing that I had left a location. After deleting and restoring the app, I was unable to restore my premium account or recover my data. In the time since, I have been corresponding with the developer’s customer service team who seem determined to misunderstand my requests for help. After four rounds of unhelpful suggestions, I was told to follow the exact steps I outlined in my original request—the fact that those steps did not work the several times I tried them was what prompted me to reach out for help in the first place! I am wildly dissatisfied with the way my request for support has been managed; I am frustrated that the developer has taken this long to understand a simple issue. Unfortunately, while the app has been very insightful up to this point, I would strongly recommend not logging this kind of data in a system that crashes and, apparently, will not allow you to recover your data..Version: 3.1
✓ Update problemsThe app was wonderful—I could see how long I spent at work, all the places I’d been (doubly helpful with COVID)….and then I updated my iOS. Now it registers maybe half of the places I visit, and it often gets “stuck” on a place, e.g., thinks I’m still at a friend’s house hours after I’ve left. It knows I’ve gone places though, as the time stamps are correct when I add something manually (it knows I was somewhere from distinct from 6:34-9:08). The fixes (turn the phone off/on and disable/reenable location tracking) generally don’t do anything, and there are no other recommended fixes. Additionally, there have been no updates to the app in a year, which suggests this issue won’t be fixed soon. I don’t pay for it, but I am still highly tempted to delete it due to the constant frustration it causes..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Needs more locationsLocation suggestions are too few and out of date. Some suggestions are for businesses that closed down more than 2 years ago. So you should be able to add your own addresses since the location can be several hundred metres out. Which also means it clocks local businesses as “home”. Maybe I manual override where you can start and stop a task, like working from home etc..Version: 3.0.6
✓ App doesn't workThe app doesn't record my activities..Version: 3.1
✓ Worked for a whileI was loving this and would have given it 5 stars a month ago. But all f a sudden it’s not tracking my visits. I’ve gone through all the steps in the help section and it might work for a day then stops. Definitely not getting premium if this is going to happen..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Not working since iOS 13 updateNo longer works since the iOS 13 update. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling and nothing. I paid for the yearly subscription and am incredibly frustrated at V this point..Version: 3.1
✓ Used to love itI used to love this app. I have this and sleep cycle which I have no problems with. However since the iOS 15 update it’s constantly saying no visits and how to fix it. I’ve tried it every which way to do what it asks and yet it’s not fixed the issue. As a premium member I had no complaints about it until recently. Can’t seem to find a way to contact them to fix it either. If the developers could fix the issue I’d have no complaints whatsoever. Everything else that uses location services work fine. Please fix it!!!!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Was good but not working anymoreWas working great for the last year but now it’s no longer working. I thought I was signing up to a free trial so I could reinstall the app without losing my data, but it charged me for a year and still isn’t working..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Has potentialI enjoy the idea of this app. However it really needs the Apple Watch part be able to record activities. You could open it, select what activity you’re about to start and then have a stop watch essentially going while you started this “activity”. This would make it not only so I could easily track and figure out my day better but help me keep on task, if I look down at my watch with the ticker going I can remember what I’m doing. Would be even better if you could somehow map your house and you could mark what rooms are what do you can see how much time you spend in each room, and take advantage of the time you’re in that room to do more things within the time you spend there. Like if I was in the kitchen, maybe baking and it could help me remember to do the things I need to do while in that room - wash dishes, put dishes away, take recycles out and so on. This maybe far fetched but it would be a dream for me and I do think this app could some day be awesome. For now I just find it interesting to know about the activities it can track..Version: 3.0.6
✓ Incredible app, but flawed pricingI use this app on a daily basis to help me track my time spent on activities in a week. There are 168 hours in a week, and by using this app, I can see how that time is allocated. In doing so, it helps me keep a balanced life, and I'm currently subscribed for the premium features. I love the structure and aesthetics of the app, and it's very user-friendly. However, it is absolutely ridiculous to require a $30 annual subscription from Sleep Cycle in order to access some of the sleep trend data charts. It's clearly unnecessary as the two options unavailable are "activities affecting your sleep quality" and "location effecting your sleep quality." Since Life Cycle continuously tracks your location & the sleep recorded by Sleep Cycle is synced, then there is absolutely no reason for the Sleep Cycle online backup subscription to be required. And how can Sleep Cycle selectively transfer data to Life Cycle by requiring online backup for some data, but not all data in the Life Cycle trends? I will gladly pay $10 a year for many years, but to quadruple that expense for access to two "additional" sleep trend data charts is ludicrous. I've recommended this app to several friends, but this limitation has really turned them away..Version: 1.8.1
✓ App Unusable since iOS 13The app hasn’t been able to use locations since it was updated for iOS 13. Still not working after updating to iOS 13.1.2. Not worth downloading until this is fixed..Version: 3.1
