Doesn’t work very well.
I’m not sure if it’s because this app records speed as an average over time (thus including time stopped in traffic) but it keeps recording bicycle rides even I’m driving (and sometimes when I’m walking). It’s a little more than annoying to have to edit every single time.
Open source, privacy-preserving, a clear payment structure, no micro transactions, excellent UI, always works like it says it will, straightforward settings. There's seriously nothing to dislike. A+++ app
“What did I do that day?” “Why did I spend $x on this date?” Using Arc to do historical detective work on my own life has been so valuable, especially being a privacy-focused solution. Worth the money, full stop.
Since Google Maps is doing some screwy things with their timeline I wanted to try something different to keep track of where I’ve been. I tried this while on a trip, and the app kept being interrupted by iOS, and the explanation was that iOS can interrupt any app at any time. So it always seems to have gaps because of this.
The most recent updates have been accounting for up to forty percent of my battery drain. I have no idea what the issue is. The developer has been unresponsive.
The location sensitivity is so high that anytime I walk within a location, “work” for example, it logs multiple entries. I wish it could more easily recognize one 8 hour day at work rather than 4x2 hour days plus “transport”. For a smart app it is relatively dumb.
Worked great before the sudden paywall. Now it’s a wildly overpriced and slightly better “Google maps history” lol.
When my Apple Watch inevitably screws up and eats a workout recording, Arc App is always there to help me out. I love how Arc App constantly records my location, allowing for the easy exporting of an activity file to upload to Strava. Without Arc App, I’d have lost at least three activities in the last couple months.
Why allow only the map so have a dark version when everything else is retina-burningly bright? Honestly really annoyed this was overlooked.
