Locations and time spent

Hi

For many years I have been using the Life Cycle app to track where I have been and how long I stayed at different places. It has worked great, but development of the app seems to have stopped, so I’m currently looking for a replacement. That’s when I came across your app.

Some features I would really like to see added are better tools for getting an easy overview of a day — specifically where I have been and how much time I spent at each location. I use this to keep track of time spent at work and to maintain a work log. It would be great to visualize the day as a bar diagram or timeline, showing time spent in different categories such as Home, Work, Shopping, Transit, and other places I visit.

It would also be very helpful if locations in the app could be linked to an existing location database such as Foursquare or a similar service. That would make tagging and identifying locations much easier.

One challenge I currently have with your app is that it only allows one workplace, while in reality I have several different workplaces as a freelance consultant.

Another issue is that when I move around within a workplace, the app sometimes thinks I have moved to a different address, so it suddenly registers a new location. It would be helpful if the location geofence could be slightly larger or more stable, so the location doesn’t change so frequently when moving within the same place.

You might want to take a look at the Life Cycle app for inspiration. I’m not suggesting copying it, but it has some really good ideas for presenting location and time data.

Best regards,
Niclas
