Not working

Dont download it, it doesnt work. Tried for 2 weeks but nothing happened, only battery discharge

Location service

If it could work without switching on the location services, it would be perfect! Just for battery reasons

See Friends Phone Usage

Great app! I would be more encouraged and would be willing to buy the extra package if you could compare scores with your friends to see how often you guys are using your phones!

Location Access Required??

Decent app, but requires access to your location in order to use. If this had not been the case I would not be deleting the app.

Battery hog and not compelling enough data

This application somehow manages to use 5x the amount of battery as another I have which is constantly tracking my location throughout the day (Moves). It doesnt even provide insight into which applications you are using on your phone (Apples fault I know). Not worth it.

Stick with the free version.

I downloaded this app to keep an eye on my phone usage, Ive been making an effort to use my phone less and be more present. The free version was great and I liked the idea of being able to set screen free time so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this WAY overpriced app. Much to my dismay, NONE of the premium features have worked for me! The screen free time and the "certain hours" tracking are not working. What a waste of $4.99!

Good app, kills battery

This app is really cool and its helpful to know how long you really use your phone. But I had to delete it because it was killing my battery. after downloading, I had lost about 20% in 2 hours.

Not calculating correctly

I was on my phone for at least an hour today and for hours yesterday. I decided to check and today showed 0 minutes and yesterday 58. Both wrong. Due to the battery use, I deleted the app today. If it isnt working on the free version, why would I pay for it? Im disappointed. I read such good things about this. Back to old school pen and paper.

Great app, battery killer

Love the concept. This app is always showing as one of my top battery consumers. Unacceptable for an app that should be just counting minutes of use. Deleting now...

Deliberately drains the battery.

The app forces you to use your location just so it can drain the battery faster! Apple shouldnt allow apps that do this in the App Store. Kevin, find a different way to track phone use that doesnt need location or Ill report this app! Otherwise, it is OK.

Drains battery and causes phone to crash

This app is a good idea but after I got it my battery wouldnt stay charged for more than a few hours and my phone would crash several times a day. I wasnt sure why this was happening and was about to spend hours at Apple trying to get a new phone. I happened to look at my battery use in settings and noticed that this app was the number one drain on my battery at 20%! I deleted it and all those unexplained crashes went away. Not worth it.

Great idea but drains battery like you cant believe

I wish I could love this app. I want something like it that doesnt drain 10-15% of my battery every hour it is open. The functionality is good and would be worth $5 if it didnt kill my phone. As it is, stay away.

Doesnt work

You have to keep the app open all the time, location settings on, and your sound on high, in order for it to work and set off the alarms. Therefore it uses a ton of battery. Also, it always force closes, so when you open it to check your stats, half the time it wasnt even on and working. Useless. :(

LOVE

I honestly dont understand what anyone else is talking about. Ive had this app for over a year and seriously cut back on my phone use because of it. Its given me my life back and never drains my battery. And the app still works even if you close it in the background...

Disappointed

Worked great, other than the fact it completely drained my battery (even when I managed to avoid using my phone all day!). It requires access to your location, and while the developer says it is necessary for the app to work, I dont believe theres a good reason given for this. If Moment didnt insist on tracking your location, this app would be better both in terms of battery usage and privacy.

Awesome app for tracking iPhone use!

Im constantly trying to be more intentional about how Im spending my time. By downloading this app its helped me realize the crazy amount of time I spend checking my phone everyday (it will surprise you). Also, I love the advanced tracking and updates that have started being released solid app! Also, a few of the most recent updates have helped to use even less battery which is nice.

Great app!

This app is so helpful. It reminds me to get off my phone and pay attention to the people around me.

Location services

Location is either on or off. It wont track without constant access. Deleted immediately.

Love the concept; the execution, not so much

The idea of tracking time spent in my phone is great! However, as other reviewers have stated, this is the largest drain on my phones battery, at 20%. My mail, map, and weather alert apps use less battery than this. It doesnt make sense.

Battery destroyer

Eats up more battery life than any other app on my phone. Not worth it.
