Life Cycle - Track Your Time 4+

Update: I should’ve confessed by now something LifeCycle has been telling me for years- either I waste a lot of time, take my time or am just slow. Challenge yourself to find out what you’ve been hiding from yourself. ——————— ——————— ——————— ——————— ———————
I know I reviewed this before and always with the same comments. It's great, even when we don't go anywhere- I sometimes grab a screenshot or photo to mark a transition from one activity to another and add so many in manually later. There's not enough resolution to know from my Nia, Yoga or swimming in the same complex. I wouldn't expect it, don't know why other reviewers did and why they dropped 🌟 because of it. 🙄 My only (only?) issues are the colors and icons. Why so few? I've re-useds icons but they've often not been appropriate for any category. The same goes for the colors; the dreary, dreary colors. A color wheel could make us happy and how thrilling it would be if you bought or designed as many icons as there are now! What if even half of those had the subtle, sneaky movement some of the original have? Imagine how amazing your app would be!

I’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.

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.
