1000 Hours Outside for Negative User Reviews

I usually love 1000 hours outsideThat’s why I purchased the app. I was looking forward to conveniently track our individual outdoors time but unfortunately the time tracker doesn’t work and messes up everybody’s time every time I use it for a specific person. So I have to still manually track it and update it in here. Kind of disappointing, otherwise would be a great app.Version: 4.0.1

Lacks seemingly obvious featuresFor a paid app this should have more. I would like the ability to see each individual timer entry; The time the timer was started and stopped; And be able to edit individual entries. If we go out once in the morning and again in the afternoon, but I forget to stop the timer in the afternoon- I have to some now keep track of what was already tracked in the morning and add it to the second entry that I’m trying to edit. The app should be able to show me all of the data for one day… not just a running total for the day..Version: 3.2

Waste of $3Downloaded this app twice in three hours. It won’t even let me sign up. I tried to contact the owners via their insta. Seems they like to post about the app, but not respond to customers when the app does work. Please don’t waste your time with this app..Version: 2.6

Doesn’t really do what we needed it to doNo way to reset if we want to start from zero at the beginning of the school year. No way to see hours per day after the week has ended or see any hours from previous months. Basically just paid to use a timer and have access to the 1000 Hours Outside shop on an app, both things I could already access for free from my phone. I hope to see improvements in the next update..Version: 1.3

Super buggyI REALLY want to love this app. I do. The timer is a great idea and so are the badges. But: - I can’t report a bug in the app because the button to click to submit my bug report doesn’t work. That’s bug #1 - bug #2 is that every time I even so much as click on the badges page the app crashes hard. Once my entire phone needed to be rebooted. - bug #3 is that my husband also downloaded the app and signed in as the same person as me. When he separately tracked time outside for our daughter, it erased the entire week’s worth of tracking data for BOTH of us except what he tracked. If you need a timer, just use your phone timer. Track on paper. Buy the stickers online if you need badges. If this was a FREE app I would probably be deleting it. I love 1000 hours outside but man is this app buggy! Save your money until it’s made more stable!.Version: 1.1

Doesn’t keep timing when my screen locksI was on a long walk and started my timer and out my phone in my pocket. When I ended my walk, it had only recorded 5 minutes of my walk. Then I did another test and started my timer and took my kids on a walk to the playground. Again, it stopped. This time only recording nine minutes of my time. Super frustrated! Seems like something a free app would do, not a paid for app..Version: 4.0.4

StupidYou can’t delete activity if you logged it wrong. Also the app doesn’t work - it keeps shutting down after 1 minute. I just wasted my money to buy this crap..Version: 2.7

Terrible appLove the 1000 hr every day concept and I was so excited to keep track for myself and my 3 kids in the app. However, just 2 weeks in and I’ve already given up on this buggy app and will switch to a paper calendar instead. It’s nearly impossible to keep track for more than one person. This was a total waste of $2. Im so disappointed because and feel completely defeated in the goal already..Version: 4.0.2

There are GlitchesI can’t access any of my badges, the app will close. Sometimes when I’m inputting hours, the app will randomly close. I love the movement and love tracking my hours but I expected more since I had to purchase the app..Version: 2.11

A bit buggy to startI know this app is new, so I’m sure these bugs won’t last long! But right now, the app is prone to crashing and closing during use. In the future, I’d love to be able to set daily reminder notifications to add any extra time to the daily total that wasn’t counted in real time I love 1000 Hours Outside and the ease this app should bring to documenting this challenge :) :).Version: 1.1

1000HoursOutsideIt would be nice to be able to log what we’ve done in the time. I feel that the app is too basic. A stopwatch recording just hours rather than the experience. Hopefully more features will be added..Version: 1.0

Not good at allCan’t add in activities or hours only a stopwatch and doesn’t work when I am out of the app. Who is going to remember to stop and start every time you go outside? Should be able to add in periods of time retrospectively too. Waste of money, and storage space..Version: 1.0

Not FunctionalI downloaded this app and I’m unable to log past hours. In addition the timer stops once you get o of the app. I can’t make edits. As of right now there isn’t a single thing I can do with this app..Version: 1.0

Crash appI wish I read the reviews before paying for it. I really want to like it, and I want to believe in its potential, but I’m losing interest in opening it at all. It crashes every time I open it - even after updating my phone. And the timer only works when the app is open. I hope the crashing stops, but until then (if I keep it), I’ll just track on paper.Version: 2.9

Cute ideaI love this idea and it seems like it is going to help us be more intentional with our goal of being outside more but the journal feature is impossible. There is no way of getting away from the keyboard when done typing. So it renders that feature useless which is a little irritating especially when paying for an app..Version: 2.13

I want to love itI want to love this app but unless I have my phone in my hand constantly monitoring if it’s still timing us it stops. As soon as my phone locks or I open another app etc it stops. This kind of spoils the point of time away from a screen. Hopefully this can be fixed..Version: 2.6

Doesn’t do basic tasksI can’t find my history in a list anywhere with details. The calendar shows 2 hours when I have 2.5 in my week history. I can’t go back and look at any other days outside of that week with any detail if I entered it in rather than using the timer. I also did the timer this morning and then manually entered in another outdoor activity in the evening and it erased my timer from the morning. Frustrated I can’t have a detailed list of what I entered so I can look back at it clearly without having to click on every day and even that isn’t accurate..Version: 2.9

Hard to track multiple profilesI like the idea but the execution in the app has been challenging. I am attempting to track for all members of my family but when I edited the time for one of my family members twice it added the time to the total twice instead of changing the time. It’s not very intuitive for different profiles and it only tracks the latest time on the calendar (not all time, or a particular chosen profile). I think it would work well if you were just using it as an individual since all my challenges are related to multiple profiles. For a paid app I expected a smoother experience or the opportunity to trial it first..Version: 3.2

Wouldn’t botherNo way of adding past months in, can’t add the days in easily either. Not very good.Version: 1.0

Good idea in theoryExpensive app for the amount it glitches. I also often find it has stopped recording time after long outdoor periods. Good encouragement to get outside though!.Version: 4.0.4

Getting there!This is a super useful app for our 1kho goals, but it definitely still needs some work when it comes to tracking different profiles. I tried to edit one kiddo’s hours when I accidentally left the timer going and it seems to get confused about edits- I checked his total hours so far and they were definitely more than they should have been, the app was confused somewhere between the profiles and edits. Looking forward to more improvements but not totally trusting the app yet and will still use the paper tracker and keep an eye on hours!.Version: 4.0.2

Waste of moneyThe functionality just isn't there unless you are very organised and update the app every single day (never ever forget on a Saturday night!). You can only add data for a day in the current week, which runs Sunday to Saturday, and you can't change this so your week runs Monday to Sunday instead. There's no way of viewing, let alone editing, data for a previous week. And there's no way to view data for a previous month. So for example I wanted to update for the last fortnight or so on 3rd August - none of this is possible because I can't look exactly which date I last entered data for, and I can't add data now for anything before Sunday 1st August. I gave all this feedback when the app was first launched and heard nothing, no changes made. I could have made myself a better spreadsheet in 5 minutes flat and saved £2.99..Version: 1.1

Hit or miss.My wife is in to the 1000 hours thing for our kids and wanted me to help her with tracking the kids time this year. 2 issues - can’t sync her phone and mine so possible duplication or missing time. However the main issue is that the app works great on her phone, but crashes in about 30 seconds on mine no matter what I try. I have rebooted the phone, made sure I had latest IOS updates, deleted and reinstalled. Clearly the app is very buggy! Much safer bet to just use a basic timer and a piece of paper to track your time!.Version: 2.5

Misleading App CapabilitiesTech support was very prompt when I asked for help with the family sharing portion of the app. Wish I had realized that the “family sharing” meant you all had to purchase the app multiple times across whatever device you want to use it on and that it only allows you to track one kid at a time. The family sharing they promised was the only reason I bought this app instead of using one of the numerous free apps out there that do the same thing. Wish I could return this app. I’ll be using a free app and not recommending this one from now on..Version: 2.14

RubbishCrashes all the time. Can’t see the purpose of this app at all. You can’t manually enter hours so it only logs what you use the timer for. But the timer doesn’t work! I’d like a refund. This isn’t fit for purpose and isn’t as described..Version: 1.1

Way more trouble than convenienceI got the app hoping it would be easier than physically tracking my family’s hours in a paper, but it’s actually not been helpful at all. If I forget to start the timer right when we go out, there’s no way to adjust the start time. And there’s no way for me to add an hour for one child and two for another if I miss it - I can either do one child or the same amount of time for both - and then if I want to spend more time outside later, I can only edit that before time instead of add another hour or two. It became so complicated, I had to stop trying after a week and I’m back to my paper in the kitchen. I’m glad it was only $2, but it was still a waste..Version: 4.0.4

Want to loveLove this movement and what it represents. I try to get out with my 7 month old as often as I can and this is a huge motivator for me to create strong habits early. HOWEVER. This app glitches and doesn’t count time when I am away from Wi-Fi or cell service. This seems like a huge problem for an app that is encouraging time outside. Unless I am in my backyard, this app is not useful to me which is a huge bummer..Version: 2.14

Too many advertisementsLove the concept of the app & of course 1000 hours outside in general but for a paid app there is way too many irrelevant advertisements. It would make sense on a free app but this app costs money. I don’t even want to read their blogs or browse content because every half paragraph is interrupted with an in-page advertisement or pop-up..Version: 2.9

Doesn't accurately trackThis is a great idea in theory, but the app is proving to be very buggy. It seems there is a big issue with exiting the app and coming back to it, whether that's by hitting my home button or even pulling down my notifications bar. I've had it stop tracking and reset to zero. But most often it artificially inflates the time. Just yesterday with each time I pulled my notifications bar down I watched the time jump from 20 minutes to over 7 hours of time. Disappointed to have bought this and have it not work. Was so excited to join the challenge and have an easy way to keep track of our time..Version: 2.4

DisappointingI wanted to like this app as I love the Insta account and the challenge. But it’s not useful. I want to be able to log hours not tracked within the app itself, go back an edit, even move the time backwards from when I start the timer. The timer also seems to re-set when the app is not open instead of counting time in the background. Pretty disappointing..Version: 1.1

Can’t believe I had to pay for thisReally basic app not that it matters as it just kicks me out of the app every few seconds anyway..Version: 2.7

Could be betterI really enjoy this app - the stats and badges are giving me more motivation. I enjoy inputting photos and mini journal entries but I feel this is lacking. It would be awesome to have the option to print a little scrap book of all these journals. Also more state would be awesome - things like “you are outside 80% more on a weekend” for example..Version: 2.14

Crashing constantlyI love this challenge and would really like to use the app but it crashes every time I’m in it. Even with the most recent update. Hope this gets fixed soon.Version: 2.7

Motivating, but limiting!I love this challenge and have been doing it for two months. The app is a great way to keep track of my time and add a little journal entry to remember each experience. I’ve even gotten about 5 friends to join along! There are a couple changes I wish the app could provide: being able to look back at a photo album that contains all the pictures from the month (rather than having to click on every entry), being able to share with friends/see their progress/cheer them on, and a little visual to illustrate how near/far you are to completing the 1000 hours! Here’s to spending more time outside! Cheers!.Version: 2.11

GlitchesLots of glitches right now that I hope they fix them soon! When you start the timer and close the app, the timer stops. There is no way to see the hours you have previously logged. There should be a way to log hours for past days. When you originally open the app, it asks how many hours you’re at - but that information is not accessible anywhere afterwards. Seems like the app was released before it was tested. I’m hoping to change my review to 5 stars once the app is improved!! I was sooo excited to download it!!!.Version: 1.0

Not worth itI am shocked that there are so many great reviews for this app. I like that you can track time for more than one person.. but in the calendar view and the “hours this week” view you can only see the hours for the “main account. You should be able to switch between which profile you want to view. You can’t even choose who the main account is. Also the last time I added hours it didn’t update in the individual profiles, so now I feel like I need to write down the hours we spend outside on a piece of paper because this isn’t accurate, defeating the purposes of this app. I also would have thought that on the timer tab that there would be timers for each individual profile. And with the announcement by Ginny for 2023 I would think that there would be a way to track miles walked, books read, and other goals. This app isn’t worth spending money on and it doesn’t live up to the needs. Hoping for lots of improvements soon..Version: 4.0.2

Logging timeI LOVE the podcast. LOVE the idea but I absolutely HATE logging the time. Yes it has a timer feature but to backtrack (I forget to hit start and stop a lot) is a pain. You can’t just put in 17 minutes-you can only put in the decimal tracking. And I’m trying to log every minute we can (both parents work full time) so we want every minute to count! I don’t have time to do a calculation- I’ve got two kids under the age of 3! Please fix this (or give people an option)!.Version: 2.8

Great app but crashes oftenI love being able to track our hours outside on an app but I wish it wouldn’t crash every time I try to use it.Version: 2.9

Timer not workingI got the app primarily for the timer and easy tracking. It worked great for the first week and then stopped. I turn on the timer and then go back later to stop it and it only recorded a few seconds. Now I have to keep track of time and then go back and record the total time later. It completely defeats the purpose of the app..Version: 4.0.4

CostlyI love the initiative and support it but… I think this app has a lot of potential but I think for what you get right now it’s very costly. As others have said there are glitches with the timer. Issues with logging old hours and making edits. And the bar graphs aren’t all that exciting. Even with hours logged my graph is a boring line. If I could get a refund at this point I would and wait until there’s been some progress made on it. Feels like it’s still in a very testing/development phase..Version: 1.0

Timer still buggyI love this app but the timer is still very buggy for me. Sometimes I will start it, come back after an hour, stop it, and nothing has recorded. It’s very frustrating when I’m spending a lot of time outside—I’ll open the timer and it says 8 seconds or something. I end up timing it myself and putting the times in by hand..Version: 2.13

Timer works 1/2 the timeThis app is so glitchy! Half of the time I use the timer, it doesn’t keep running once my phone locks. If I let my phone lock on it’s own/don’t press the lock button while it is running, is usually works, but not always. But it’s very frustrating when it can’t be trusted to do basically the sole purpose of the app. Waste of money, in my experience. Which is a bummer because I was so excited to use it to make our 1000 experience more accurate and easy to track..Version: 4.0.3

App needs workThe app needs a lot of work. It is not worth paying for. At this point it should be free to get general feedback and then the dev team and improve and actually charge for the app..Version: 1.0

Not worth the moneyDon’t like the way it Tracks the hours. Hard to put in anything under an hour. After paying for this app i download a different hour tracker instead.Version: 2.10
