Description

Location Log is made for people that like to know exactly where they were at any point in time, but who also value their privacy and want to be able to achieve this without having to share their data with anyone (not even the app developer).

Once installed, Location Log continuously and accurately tracks your location in the background throughout each day, ensuring that your location data is held *locally* on your device, and available only to you - not shared with anyone. You can browse your past locations either by date or by area search.

In a world where data tends to be the new currency, Location Log stands against this trend by trying to keep as much of your data as private as possible, so that you do not have to share it with anyone. This is why no sign-up or login is required, and of course no centralised server is used to store any location history: because the location data is held privately and locally on your device.

The app has been specifically designed in a unique way to optimise battery usage, despite continuously and accurately tracking your location throughout each day in the background.

• History function: to view your movements on any date (also useful to help determine the time you arrived and left any specific location, say, to calculate how long a visit to a business client lasted for).

• Distance calculator: to calculate approximate distance travelled between selected times of a day, useful for mileage claim calculations.

• Search function allows you to search any region to reveal all historic dates that you visited that area.

• Delete, import, and export functions are available, so you have complete control of your data.

• ON/OFF toggle allows you to start/stop logging your location.

• Logging Frequency: Provides options for the frequency of logging.

• Backing up your device (via iCloud, or through you Mac/PC) is advised to keep a backup of your Location History data (for example when when replacing your handset). You can also manually export your location history using the 'export' function, and use the 'import' feature to import it back in as well.

• Offers Export to GPX format

Great App!

Ever wonder which day you went wherever to do whatever? This app, running in the background at all times, will tell you! You can set the logging frequency to anything from 1 minute to 1 hour. I have found that even every minute doesn’t use significant battery on my 14 Pro Max.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a lovely review 🙂 - I had originally made the app for myself, and then decided to polish it up a bit and pop it on the App Store in case it was useful to others too.
As you can tell, I’ve tried to prioritise battery-usage; this was the biggest challenge (continuously trying to fetch the most accurate location data without causing significant battery drain), and am really glad that the balance seems to work out well in that respect for users (like yourself) that are conscious of it.

Any probs / questions feel free to ping me an email (my address is in the feedback/thanks section of the app) 👍

This app is truly a breath of fresh air, uncluttered and unencumbered by unnecessary features, and most of all, works exactly as described.
