Life Cycle - Track Your Time App Reviews

I love big data, and have already come to trust this companys suite of apps so I wanted to give this a try. The claims of battery life are accurate in that it doesnt use a lot at all! It accurately tracks my day to day locations minus a few hiccups here and there, but this is accounted for in their FAQ. It wont always pick up everything but again, this is a high level view of your day. I wish it pulled workout activity from Apple health since I workout from home and this time is just lumped together with "home" category instead of its own category of time. But it does pull sleep activity and works seamlessly with the Sleep Cycle app. Great app!

For Home Id love to break up donut chunks into: Work from home, family time, video games, study, etc

The only thing that holds me back from a five star rating is the lack of ability to differentiate between tasks in one location- I work at home and for this app to best serve me I need to separate home time from work time.

The concept of this app is really cool, but I dont think the execution is that great. I absolutely hate how you cant edit or add times. The location tracking feature isnt exactly very accurate. Itll find my location and I like how you can pick from the available options, but it doesnt track the time I was there well. Sometimes itll tell me I spent 40 minutes somewhere even though I spent two hours. Or Ill go to somewhere near my house so it counts it as Im home. I turn my phone off when I go to work and this wouldnt be a big deal that it doesnt track it then if I could just add that I was at work from x-time to y-time but you cant. Nor can I edit a time I was somewhere if its way off. Its kinda frustrating and makes this app pointless for me. I havent even really looked into anything else the app does because it doesnt even do the core purpose well.

I love stuff like this. I didnt expect it to take 3 days to show any data but it makes sense that it has to track it first. Love this app and sleep cycle!!

I love the concept. And when it all works its a great tool to analyze where the majority of your time goes. But here are the issues I am having after about two weeks. My commute time is also counted as transport time. Sometimes. Not always. So I delete the transport time. On two occasions my time at work was off by 50-90%. And there is no way to edit it. If these two issues were gone it would be about perfect. Ill keep going for a while and hope for an update!

I love the idea of what this app can do, but they have no manual overrides... The app will say youve been someplace for like 10 min but youve been there for hours... Customer service wasnt very helpful and took forever. I will be looking for another app similar to this from another company...

This app is awesome! Love to track my day

I love this app because it tracks my daily routine via cell phone location. It provides me with feedback on hours spent in various locations thus allowing me to better plan for upcoming weeks. Very useful app to see where you spend your time.

Like others have said, I love this concept too. I use their Sleep Cycle app and thats perfect. This gets a lot of things wrong. Says Ive slept for 14 hours, but the time will show 11pm -7am. So sometimes the math is wrong. Other times itll say I was at work only for 3 hours when Id been there all day. Several bugs left to fix yet. Hope you get them resolved soon as I think this could be very valuable for me to help stay on track with managing my time more effectively.

I came here from sleep cycle due to that apps great execution of what it claims to do. Lifecycle though is a big let down. The idea is there but it is still a long way off from being usable. The UI needs to be better, the location tracking needs to be more practical, and the user options need to vastly improve. Users should be able to edit activities manually; maybe the app could simply suggest activities based on patterns to save the user time. Ultimately the app is too mis-representative of actual daily life. P.s. I found life cycle after exploring more apps by the developer of sleep cycle. In order for life cycle to input my sleep, it grabs it from Apple health. Apple health gets it from sleep cycle, but somewhere along the way it is doubling the time I sleep. So life cycle basically things that I sleep 16 hours every night which is annoying.

Love how this app gives a visual of ones entire daily activities. The problem is that there are still quite a few bugs. One of the most bothersome is the way the app calculates sleep: it doubles the amount of sleep. If I slept 8 hours, it would show on the cycle as 16h of sleep.

Great concept but pitiful execution. Today, it didnt recognize a walk to the grocery store (over a mile away) or the walk back--just registered it as "at home" though it recognized the 25 minutes of shopping. Many similar examples. Also, if you have, say, 4 instances of an activity and change one of them, they all change, irrevocably. Wish I still had my $2. Oh, it also eats 6% of my battery plus extra for having to leave wifi on eternally. I used to never dip below 70% battery now its routinely below 40% at bed time.

I use the sleep app you have its perfect ! But this app doesnt ever think Im at work and Im there for most of my day id like it to record that better I plug music in to make customers happier but I dont like that it thinks Im only there for 10 minutes please update! And fix things to show where you think I waste time that would be cool also needs to not make up its own time for me ... Like today said I was at my brothers house til 4.30pm I left there at 12.30pm hours ago so I had to delete the whole event cause the time was a complete lie

I think that those who wrote negative reviews are missing what the developers set out to create. My experience with this app has been great. Those who claim that the location is not as accurate wouldnt like it if it used realtime precise location data because then they would be left with a dead battery. This app is great for visualizing the how one spends their time.

I really like the idea of this app. Its pretty accurate when picking up the different locations Ive visited, but it acts up. When I go grocery shopping it says shopping, but also counts half of it as walking, which is annoying. Also, for the past few weeks its been doubling my sleep. I use the sleep cycle app (your partner app) so I hoped it would be a seamless integration between the two, but its been a pain to have to delete different sleep logs in life cycle when it was only counted once in sleep cycle. Id also love it if you could manually override or categorize what you do at different places (such as working out vs working from home vs just being at home).

Probably one of the best apps for one reason: it does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do and does it right every time

Very cool app if youre interested in understanding your own actual priorities, behavioral habits, time management, etc. not always accurate but probably 95% so it gives a pretty precise picture of your daily / weekly / monthly etc. activity and trends in the data

Does a very good job of tracking all activities, definitely recommend to anyone.

It is nice to see the stats - you cannot change what is not measured. I wish I could change things or add things manually that were in error or missing.
