Checky - Phone Habit Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Could be, but...Why the location enabled service? I don't need to know where I opened my phone. Maybe if it didn't locate then none of the data could go back the app maker. I don't mean "data" as in personal but perhaps the app maker wants to sell ads on the bottom and they can use impressions as a way to prove viability. Ah..give me an option to pay. Rather you charge me for it..Version: 1.0
✓ Just plain doesn't work.Says I haven't checked my phone at all, or maybe 3 times, when I've definitely checked it WAAAAY more..Version: 1.0
✓ Count, it's more accurateSo, 3rd attempt at writing a review. Nice. This app does not work. Downloaded 3 weeks ago and only 15 accumulated checks. Might want to checky it..Version: 1.0
✓ Banner ad in the wayThere is a banner ad at the bottom of the screen that covers up the days feature. No way to remove it apparently..Version: 1.0
✓ Works but issues with battery usageSeems to accurately keep track of how often you check your phone but causes the battery usage to be the same as standby which means the phone doesn't go into "standby" mode. Not sure if just the accounting is wrong or if the battery actually gets drained faster..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't seem to work for meSays I checked my phone twice yesterday, I'm sure that's not right!.Version: 1.0
✓ Drains battery rubbishHighly inaccurate app that constantly needs GPS location on or it doesn't work. Battery soon dies and you feel like a fool..Version: 1.0
✓ BuggyNot developed for iPhone X and also buggy as hell. Will just stop working for days unless I reopen app and won’t have tracked any data..Version: 1.0
✓ USELESS!Tracked for four days, then stopped..Version: 1.0
✓ Drains my battery!!Used up my phone battery very quickly!! And it is completely accurate on the times I unlocked my phone. I really wish it would have worked, unfortunately I had to uninstall it within 2 days..Version: 1.0
✓ Useful but limitedIt only tells you how many times you checked your phone. I also wish it said how much time you've spent on your phone in the last 24 hours (or user set time frame) I realize you can look at that in your settings but it's a pain to do so. So please put length of time in your next sprint!.Version: 1.0
✓ Deleted!This app totally blows. Does not work at all..Version: 1.0
✓ Caution: the app won’t work if you disable the location serviceIf you just want to know how many times you check your phone each day, this app does a good job. Showing you exactly how many times are you swiped your phone open to check messages, respond to notifications. However, you need to enable your location service all the time. Even if this app is just running in the background, it’s tracks your location all the time. Once you disable the locator service the app stopped working. This is very annoying and unnecessary which is why I decided to uninstall the app. Verdict: if you want an app just tell you how many times you check your phone, do not mind the location service being on 24/7, . Then this app is for you..Version: 1.0
✓ Why do you need my location??Quite frankly, I do not want anyone, especially not a giant corporation, to know exactly where I am and exactly where I was at any point in time. Every, and I mean every, passive time-tracking app I have tried has required location services to be on at all times. Why does it even need my location? Why is there no option for it not to track my location and just how many times I check my phone? Come on..Version: 1.0
✓ Annoying ad and duration bonito would be niceCan't get rid of annoy meditation ad at the bottom of the screen which blocks some part of the user interface. Also would be nice to monitor duration of each check in.Version: 1.0
✓ The only thing you can checky if whether or not the app is working!!!Worthless! The app doesn't run continuously so from day to day you lose the ability to check how many times you've looked at your phone, the main purpose of the app!! Worthless!.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workWorked intermittently for about a week but doesn't work anymore. Always says I checked my phone zero times the previous day..Version: 1.0
✓ Horrible,doesnt work.I would listen to music and check my phone at least 20 times and after 4 hours it still said i only checked it 1 time..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workDoesn't work at all. Always says 0..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workJust says '1' no matter how many times I use my phone!.Version: 1.0
✓ Needs a badgeWhy would I want to open this every time I want to check my phone? It wod be more helpful to have a badge number outside of the app that tells me exactly how many times I opened it..Version: 1.0
✓ InterestingI, like others, thought the app was garbage because it wasn't working but.... Whoops I solved the problem, I have the habit of exiting all my apps when I'm done using it, you can't exit it or it won't work.... Going to remember that for tomorrow and see what it says!.Version: 1.0
✓ Drains BatteryThis app does an "okay" job of telling how many times you check your phone but that isn't worth the massive battery drain. 44% Usage! Not worth it..Version: 1.0
✓ Stopped workingI've used this app for a year. Every once in a while it would miss a day or two of counts. For the past two weeks I haven't been able to get any count. Such a shame I really am curious about my usage.Version: 1.0
✓ Works when it feels like it and pointless featuresIt's been stuck at 4 times and I know I've used my phone more than that. Remove GPS feature, it's so pointless. I don't care where I am using my phone. Something more useful would be which apps I use the most..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work. BooI check my phone multiple times a day. I check the app to check how many times and every time it states I never checked my phone once. Useless app that doesn't work..Version: 1.0
✓ Ads cover up features / buttonsMight be calendar buttons but its sad that they didn't test it with their ads.Version: 1.0
✓ WTFI’ve deleted the app but it still there but won’t let me go on it what do I do it’s a crap don’t download.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn’t workSays I’ve checked my phone twice today...it’s more like 52 times..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workTelling me I checked my phone once yesterday (I am sure it was at least 10 times) and 0 times today? Deleting. Also having GPS doesn't make sense as others have already pointed out..Version: 1.0
✓ Neat idea ruined by GPS requirementWhy does this app require gps to tell whether I unlocked my phone? I wanted to track my usage for the first few weeks of having a new phone but the gps battery drain isn't worth it.Version: 1.0
✓ Nice idea but doesn't workThe numbers are flattering incorrect. I only checked my phone "5 times" yesterday? Please, probably about 500..Version: 1.0
✓ Didn't WorkThis app did not work AT ALL. It may have been because I have Touch-ID or it may be because it's not updated for the iPhone 7. Whatever it is, it still didn't work after numerous tries. Disappointed..Version: 1.0
✓ TERRIBLEWORST AP EVER DOESNT WORK SO SLOW AND DOESNT ACTUALLY COUNT ANYTHING.Version: 1.0
✓ Won't workHow do you restart the app? It quit working an hour after I had it and only counted one check all day. I need this for a school assignment does anyone know of any other counting apps?.Version: 1.0
✓ Really sorry but not fit for purpose1) ad banner or what's under it needs moving ! 2) this is 2 apps in 1 and should not be 3) location data on all day - are you having a laugh - on an iPhone - with a frequent user - seriously??? 4) I don't want to track my movements just proof how often I unlock my phone or check email or other specific apps like FB or reddit!! Disappointing but would retry if updated!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work.Nice idea- but doesn't work. Had it a week. Deleting..Version: 1.0
✓ Would be great...This app has everything you want in a non-working app. It's flashy, it opens quickly. It's great! Well, except for the fact that it Always says ZERO. That part kind of ruins it for me..Version: 1.0
✓ 0 times?Worked great for over a week. It was fun to check and compare with friends but now a few of us keep getting 0 checks for the day. Useless app if it's not accurate and makes me feel all previous days were inaccurate as well. Since the whole foundation of this app is unreliable ill delete it..Version: 1.0
✓ App causes phone to freezeImmediately after installing this app my phone (6S) would freeze up at completely random times. I thought Checky was meant to monitor phone usage, not limit it by freezing my phone. 👎.Version: 1.0
✓ Stopped workingThe app worked one week, now says 0 checks. No notifications. GPS not useful. I'll wait a week to see if fixed then delete if not..Version: 1.0
✓ App is temperamentalSometimes it counts the number of times I check my phone accurately, sometimes it stays on zero all day....Version: 1.0
✓ Needs ImprovementI do suggest this app for people that want to see how many times they turn on their phone, but this app doesn't have everything. It's nice & all & I don't think that loosing battery is a big problem but, I would like to knoe how many HOURS I SPEND on my PHONE. So, if this were to be updated, please add that into this app. I think it would be great..Version: 1.0
✓ Useless if you don't allow locationYou don't need to know where I am in order to tell me how many times I have checked my phone. That is BS! And I'm not giving you my location..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workFor the past three days, It has told me hay I have only checked my phone 3, 2, and 2 times. I know that's wrong. I also don't understand why it has to know my location..Version: 1.0
✓ Battery basherDon't bother, kills battery. All we wanted was to check how obsessed we are with our phones. Not where we are when we use them.Version: 1.0
✓ It sukzzzU hav 2 keep th ap open 4eva m8.Version: 1.0
✓ GPS TOO MUCHGps doesn't need to be always on if all I want to know is how often I look at my phone. I don't care about where I look at it. So I cannot use an app that runs gps constantly. The battery drain is to high. And the if you want contact developer you need Facebook or Twitter. Goodbye checky.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work.It says I checked my phone two times yesterday and once today. HA! I got my new 6+ on Friday and I'm pretty sure I've only played on my phone and slept since then. Ok I might have a problem. But his phone is SO awesome! And this app is not accurate..Version: 1.0
✓ PointlessLiterally only drains your battery by tracking your location all the time and kind of counts every time you unlock your device. If you close it then it won't track. Deleted it a solid 30 minutes after downloading it. (Cough cough Moment is looking a lot better).Version: 1.0
✓ It doesn't work at all sadlyIt's really too bad because it was a great concept but it just does not function properly at all. It constantly said I had checked my phone zero times like even after a day where I know I checked my phone at least once! It's too bad I downloaded this app despite the other poor reviews hoping it was better than reviewed and was sorely disappointed. Hope it's gets sorted out..Version: 1.0
✓ This app does not workI checked it several times throughout the day and it always said 1. Believe me, the number should have been way more than 1.... waste of time app..Version: 1.0
✓ Great idea but crashes all the time - April 2015I love the app, what makes it unusable is it stops working all the time and a battery drain due to the location use. Why not charge me and not use location and make app run in the background. Will revise the rating as the app improves in the next version..Version: 1.0
✓ Location is pants!As well as using up all my data and battery with location services on, it's also soo inaccurate! I stayed at home all day yet the app says I checked my phone 6 times at locations up to 9 miles away! Rubbish!.Version: 1.0
✓ Absolutely hopelessThey've gone and put a banner ad right across the features at the bottom of the app. Presumably, features that add to it's functionality and that they have spent time developing to maximise the app's performance. I'm not sure what I'm missing out on but there are 7 intriguing buttons of something. Immediate delete, don't waste your time..Version: 1.0
✓ Great gimmickThis is the type of app I would use a couple times and then forget about. Props to the developers for coming up with the idea though. My number 1 complaint: who keeps a location services app running throughout the day? I feel that most practical people quit apps in order to save battery. Not sure how this could be improved- will rate higher if it is..Version: 1.0
✓ Good idea, terrible executionI don’t write reviews but this app is really frustrating. I have an iPhone 7 Plus. This app is difficult to use, doesn’t count unless location services are fully on for it, which results in the app needing to be open at all times to track. This then results in having a blue nav banner at the top of your screen that doesn’t go away without closing the app completely, and that burns your battery like crazy when it’s on. Finally, it didn’t event count accurately. Would not recommend. Needs a lot of R&D..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workNope, stays as 1 the whole day. Deleted..Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishDoes not work. I have most definitely checked my phone more than once.Version: 1.0
✓ Works great to tracking opening my phoneI’ve had it for a day, and it works great. But I’m supposed to be able to see a map of where I look at my phone, and every time I try it crashes the app..Version: 1.0
✓ Answers A Good QuestionThis app is pretty cool, yesterday I checked my phone 115 times.. Kind of eye opening for me. I did that unlock motion 115 separate times. Anyways, I think two very cool features to make this app even better would be; Map of unlocks for the previous day, or days, instead of just today; Average recorded unlocks of all users..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workIt worked the first two days now always says zero. Deleted.Version: 1.0
✓ Ads block content, crash problemsI’m using an iPhone 8s and the banner ad at the bottom of the screen blocks what appears to be a bar graph that would show my daily phone usage. Since I can’t see it, this part is useless. Also, every time I touch the location icon in the upper right corner the app crashes..Version: 1.0
✓ What a shameA fab idea and a lovely app. But take off the banner add. What a waste of space and time. At the very least offer us the chance to remove it..Version: 1.0
✓ 0 times. Doesn't work.I've tried this for a few days now… Any time I open it it says zero times. It's also supposed to tell me something every day at noon, but I haven't heard anything yet??? How do other people get this to work???.Version: 1.0
✓ Pretty much useless.It only tracks how many times you've checked your phone if you have the app open and running in the background. I'm not going to leave the app open 24/7 and kill my battery. I'm pretty consistent about closing apps compulsively, even to the point where I don't realize I'm doing it. Not useful for me at all..Version: 1.0
✓ Not sure it worksSometimes it seems to just make up numbers. Claims I didn't check my phone at all at work one day, then the next day I've checked it 15x between getting up and showering..Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish!Only worked for two days now it says I checked my phone zero times! Erm....no..Version: 1.0
✓ GPS should be optionalI don't like to waste my battery life, but this app truly will not work with location services disabled. It makes no sense that this is not optional. I could care less where I check my phone. Avoid this app until they give the user more control..Version: 1.0
✓ Yikes!!!One of the worst apps I've ever used. Definitely confused why it needs to use location services as that's a HUGE battery waster. Overall, completely useless despite my high hopes. Would give 0 stars if possible..Version: 1.0
✓ Yup the ad is hiding all the buttons!And I have calm, shame I can’t switch off the ad!.Version: 1.0
✓ ReviewI’ve had this app for a little over a week now and i thought it was going to be very useful. The only notification i turned off was, “notify me when stops running”. Obviously, i have used and checked my phone at least 10 times yesterday. I have checked everyday and the results aren’t even budging. Still telling me 0 for everyday. Clearly this is working and isn’t worth my time. Just thought i should put out my honest opinion instead of making someone waste their space like i did..Version: 1.0
✓ Why does this have to use my locationThis is NOT okay, first of all why does this have to use my location , this app is not good , because they don't need to know my location to see how many times do I check my phone, this is not good, don't download it because he can be dangerous and really dangerous so I don't recommend it.Version: 1.0
✓ NopeAfter installing the app.. my phone kept locking up..Version: 1.0
✓ Too much hassleDon't like having to leave app open. Also powering down phone completely may disable tracking services. Not worth it.Version: 1.0
✓ Waste of timeDoesn't always work, I've checked my phone several times and either it records it as one or doesn't record it at all. Also the map feature messes up frequently spent the day at home but according to the map I've been traveling up to 20 blocks away..Version: 1.0
✓ HelpYou need to update the app, we cant use it if we updated the last iOS versions!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work :(Thought it would be fun to track how often I'm on my phone, but everytime I open it it just says 1, doesn't change! Deleted it.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workGood idea but the app is not working, stays stuck on same number despite how many times I unlock my phone..Version: 1.0
✓ 😡😡😡I was really hoping it would work to see my phone habits, I've opened my phone several times today and it only says I opened it once..Version: 1.0
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APPDoesn't work. Not worth it. Deleted it straight away.Version: 1.0
✓ Why do I need a titleI don’t like that it has to use your location services constantly for the app to work. Great way to run down your battery..Version: 1.0
✓ Totally uselessIf location service on: this app eats 50% battery. If location service off: this app stops counting. Conclusion totally useless.Version: 1.0
✓ 3D TouchIt would be nice to see how many times you look at your phone when you 3D Touch the app.Version: 1.0
✓ VirusThis app is not compatible with my phone so I deleted it but after that weard stuff happened like my battery draining really fast and not being able to delete this app every time I download any app this one also downloads without my concent and the app will not apear in the settings either.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workChecked the app to see how many times I'd checked my phone in the day, it said 0. Which is a definite lie since I need to open my phone just to check the app. Waste of time..Version: 1.0
✓ Does not workSome days it works, most days it does not. Worth what I paid for it! 0.Version: 1.0
✓ It works but....The app does what it says it will but unfortunately the battery usage was too much. The constant need to GPS almost killed my phone battery half way through my day when a full charge would normally last all day. I don't see the need to have it track you when all it should do is keep track of how many times you use your phone..Version: 1.0
✓ I am very disappointed....I have gotten this app weeks before and "it said" that I have checked my phone for "zero" times........ this does NOT work at all. Waste of time, waste of storage, and waste of you..Version: 1.0
✓ Useless, DeletedWon't work if you don't allow location services. Shite. There don't appear to be buttons hidden by a banner tho, they're just insanely small tabs for each day of the week that you risk open the banner if you choose to try and see how many times you didn't check your phone, because it hasn't recorded them because you don't want the app chewing your battery telling you where you've been..Version: 1.0
✓ Does the app even work?Downloaded because I thought it would be fun to see my phone usage, opened the app and pressed okay, checked back a couple hours later and it says I checked my phone once. Wtf does this app even work?.Version: 1.0
✓ TerribleDoes’t work without location services being always on. Don’t let these people collect and sell your location data. Not worth downloading..Version: 1.0
