LiveGreen Daily Carbon Tracker Reviews

by Red4Green

Downloaded LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker because the premise seems promising. Then I read the Privacy Policy and realized I would be granting LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker developer (the ‘Owner’) and third parties broad access to my personal and social media data captured through LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker . Maybe there’s another app out there that doesn’t present such a dilemma. Or maybe this developer would consider another delivery model where you could pay to use LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker without having your data sold.

Kudos on the concept, and really well done UI. Yet, I cycle to work, and otherwise drive an electric car with 140 eMPG. LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker does not capture either!
Also, no solar or other alternative sources of energy, or a better breakdown of foods, like distinction between local and imported.
Further, the "buy a tree" carbon offset scheme, while laudable, is not the only or the best way to offset my footprint with 💰.
I understand that LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker is clearly not meant for me... But I really would like it to be.

Love this idea it’s easy to use, visually appealing, and fun. That being said, for it to work best it has to have location services on all the time to track your transportation and walking which completely wrecks my battery life. That seems like something that is kind of out of the developers’ control but it’s def a problem that makes this unrealistic for me to keep using.

At first glance LiveGreen is amazing! It is nicely designed with an easy user experience. The initial footprint assessment is very simple and interactive. You get excited by the idea of planting trees with certified projects by collecting points. Finally, there is a community feature where you are required to post a picture to prove you completed actions. If you walk/hike a lot, I highly recommend LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker so you can plant trees for free.

So where does LiveGreen go wrong?

1. No learning: with only three actions a day that repeat often, there’s not a lot of learning or drive to make impactful sustainable decisions. Often times the actions are things people are already taking rendering LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker (no offense) useless.

2. Accountability: I see many people take pictures unrelated to the suggested actions just to get points to plant trees. Sure you can report it, but there’s a looot of people to report.

3. Inaccurate tracking: I started with a footprint of 5.5 tons of CO2, somehow that has reduced to 4 tons without me really doing anything. There is no explanation as to what I did to reduce this. In reality, my footprint is more like 9 tons.

These three combined make a dangerous mix for people looking for authentic sustainability engagement. Not a deal breaker for everyone, but can definitely use some improvement.

I like LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker in theory and in practice is works pretty well. The algorithm does not do well with following the habits you say don’t work with your lifestyle for example: if you X out of a challenge for the day and say it doesn’t work for you a message will pop up saying “okay we won’t show this to you again” but I often get the same mission the next day. It would be nice to be able to connect with other fitness apps rather than just Apple health because that is not an accurate count of my miles traveled every day. Also many of the links don’t work in settings like “request features” “give feedback” “edit settings” but “invite a friend” works just fine. However I like being able to save up points to plant a tree and having 3 missions a day.

Just downloaded as I'm in support of the concept!

I have two suggestions:

1. I need to edit two of my inputs, but there doesn't seem to be a way? Also I use more than one mode of transport, yet limited to only one choice.

2. Agree on the ability to add food that's not listed, and to change from metric system.

I will continue to use LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker , and it won't be as accurate until those changes can be made.

I like the tracking/accountability and would ENCOURAGE others to download! This is how changescare made...

I have solar panels and purchase solar to offset anything above what I generate so my car runs on solar essentially. Could there be an option to incorporate alternative energy sourcing scenarios? Maybe offset my own usage.

Also, if we’ve chosen not to have kids, why isn’t there an offset for that? Seriously though ...

Great app, great concept, big advocate… just needs a compromise for battery life! Tracking background kills my phone battery, if its not plugged in overnight I’ll go to bed with 100 and wake up with 25. Im not going anywhere when I’m sleeping, so it’d be appreciated if the developers could find a way around that. Also agree with what a few other reviews are saying— needs more actionable items! Activism, washing clothes on cold, composting… ect!

makes environmentally-conscious activities fun to do! adding more rewards would be cool too.

only thing is, i’m doing a free trial for the Plus version and i can’t figure out how to cancel it before i get billed.

by Ariaevewinter

I really like LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker! It’s great! The only thing is, I’m a teenager so it’s hard for me to do some of the things in LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker and on top of that, know what our bills are. I think they should make LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker more teen/kid friendly.

I’ve used LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker for at least a month and it has been helpful for tracking my carbon emissions. Hopefully they will roll out more food options for me to get an accurate score. My biggest issue right now is that I have been having trouble logging in. LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker freezes when the logo appears.

Saving Earth isn’t as hard as it might seem. Little steps each day can get us back on track. LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker makes logging those steps easy, and empowers you to give back.

Would really recommend LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker! Really does a good job of teaching you about your personal carbon emissions and how you can help curb your own habits toward becoming more green. Anyone can pick LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker up and use it as well which is what also makes it so great in my opinion. Even your great grandfather can use LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker without any assistance.

When I first saw LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker, I thought that since there was barely any ratings, it was a bad app.
But when I downloaded it, it was everything I wanted.
It’s perfect for tracking, it’s crazy accurate, and there are many choices.
Although it’s confusing to build what you ate today, or finding similar of what you ate. Still is something!

I’m looking forward to new changes in LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker and don’t forget:
Climate change is still reversible!

I always wanted to help the environment and help stop global warming. But I didn’t know how! LiveGreen makes this easier than ever before! I am so excited to make a positive impact

by JustSquabbie

With LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker I can easily track and log my co2 emissions! And, no payments are required, unless you wish to plant trees for another part. Other than that, the core features are free! If you’re trying to find out how to easily track your emissions and see how you can make an impact, install LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker now! You can even set great goals for the future to keep your emissions below! I love LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker, and I will continue to use it forever on.

Just got on board with LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker today (it actually released today as well), and I’m thoroughly impressed with how well put together LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker is. The calculations it makes are sound, the in app purchases are completely optional (and the payment model is AWESOME!), and above all else it’s just easy to use. Logging meals and having it automatically track my trips in the car is... incredible to say the least. LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker takes just about everything it should into consideration: the items you own, the items you buy, the amount you spend on electricity/water, your car’s MPG, the average amount you travel in a year, and the food you eat.

It gave me a realistic option of goals to choose from, and I feel like if I actually took the time to be on LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker , I’d without a doubt meet it. The inclusion of leaderboards is fun and makes it a good way to challenge your friends into being less of a scum bag than you.

Only things I can mention as negatives is that currently there’s a few issues causing LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker to lock up and force close on me (inconsistently unless I abuse the heck out of it), but it just came out today so... I have the utmost faith that the team that put this together will get it fixed.

Give livegreen a try, you might surprise yourself.

This is an awesome app. Lots of features to create accurate readings of your carbon footprint throughout your day and life. My only complaint is not being able to get rid of the utilities section. As a minor I can’t really account for my own utilities bc it’s difficult to calculate strictly mine. I have no power over my parents to change their resource usage so ヽ（´ー｀）┌
Therefore, please create a way for us to be able to track our own utilities or a way to just get rid of the utilities section. BUT STILL def an amazing app :-)

by Haggard Sunny

I’ve been looking for an app to track my carbon emissions that gives me the challenge to live green everyday. The feature to make an impact by planting trees is a great way to make a physical impact on the planet we live on.

LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker tracks your actions and the corresponding reactions it has on the Earth! But to save the planet of more trouble you can sign up for the carbon neutral option. However, my Apple Pay says it isn’t supported on LiveGreenDailyCarbonTracker !
