Arc Timeline - Trips & Places

Tracks your locations and activity. Not yet as functional or accurate as Moves. Be nice if it used the historical location data collected in the phone to keep a full record of activity even when off or in the background.

It keeps on closing requiring a restart. The app developer has developed a worthy replacement for Moves app (purchased and killed by Facebook). However, iOS still will not play nice despite many upgrades to Arc app and numerous iOS updates since I started using this app a couple of years ago. If it were not for the forced closing of the app (& hence no location logging) this app would beat the now discontinued Moves.

More accurate than the other ones I’ve tried, and seems to be the only one that keeps your location data private

Why allow only the map so have a dark version when everything else is retina-burningly bright? Honestly really annoyed this was overlooked.

I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro and this app is using unreasonable amounts of battery on days that I don’t leave the house and when I’m sleeping. I have to uninstall because it makes my phone die way too fast.

I wasn’t mad about subscribing- I think it’s a worthwhile feature that comes in handy often enough I would pay money for it. But coincidentally, now that I have been paying for a few months (and not really using its features) it’s suddenly broken. It’s useless. It doesn’t work. I thought maybe it’s from the app being closed out, but NOPE. I made sure the app was open yesterday and even today, it says there’s an empty timeline. I live that I’ve now wasted minimum of $15 just to find out this once handy, now expensive app is now unusable. Is this a scam?!

Instead of the promised increase in accuracy, the app is no longer identifying locations/stops at all, and it now consistently identifies walking as driving. Oh, and I never quit out of the app, so it’s running normally. Up until now it had been great. Now it’s mediocre.

Used for a long time. All it does is crash now.

I used this app for 2 years until the subscription was forced. During that time it worked mostly good. For me, the real value of this app was merely having a reliable history of my location. This app is really good at consistently logging your location and not being killed off in background like some other location trackers. Unfortunately the subscription was forced in order to get any functionality, and the entire app is locked behind a subscription page now. I can't imagine subscribing to a log of my own gps location data, so if you're a user like me who doesn't care about any of the ML and life logging features, I guess it's time to look elsewhere. I did read some confusing details that the author wrote in response to a critical review, but I still don't understand the subscription limitations. Unfortunately the app support link just goes to a marketing page that is devoid of support information. The confusion surrounding the subscription seems like it could be easily solved by putting an actual support page up.

Honestly I really want to love this app, but it’s hard to trust with how it failed to load my backup from a couple years ago. The price is reasonable, and anyone who wants to use it the backup feature appears to work at least if it’s recent. Just given me trust issues
