Visits Journal Reviews

by Lee In US

It went free for a few days so I got it. Today I look in it and they want 2.99 to do anything. I don’t call that free if it only works for a couple weeks. Even if it says “in app purchases”. To me “in app purchases“ means part of it works and I can add some special features for extra money. Missing part is “part of it works“ which isn’t true today.

I used to have Moves & loved it, so I was happy to see the recommendation for VisitsJournal & purchased it right away. Unfortunately, it‘s not tracking very well. I had it a whole day, going from home to work & back again, before it picked up anything. And when it finally began, it started in the middle of the night!

Installed on latest iOS 12.1.2 on my iPhone X. Left it running. Left house. Drove 20 mins to mall to do Christmas shopping. Been at the mall 2 hours. App says “No places visited” but my other app “Where have I been” is working fine, showing my everything I’ve done. VisitsJournal does nothing, and yes I enabled location services “always” in Privacy Settings and everything else it asked for. Can I get a refund?

I have been using this for a week. Looks like it is very low resolution for non US locations. It just tells me I am in certain city/town which is not very helpful. It should also have some way to conflate locations it thinks are different and would not let you name it to the other one.

Unfortunately VisitsJournal crashes before it even launches. When it did launch in the past, the location wasn’t always accurate. I really hope it improves because it is ideal for tracking your past locations

I saw it went free for few days. So, was curious. If it’s a paid app, there must be something to this for people to want to pay for it. It basically supposed to track every where you go. It probably useful to somebody but it’s the antithesis of what most any one would want. VisitsJournal offers the option to allow location when using VisitsJournal but doesn’t allow use to use that. That’s odd that it offers that. Since it would let me procede to just check VisitsJournal out, it gets two stars.

Why my history is not appeared, so I cannot track my last year traveling, please fix it

by Hyan99

Locations are not accurate, seems to be off by a few hundred meters. Some locations traveled to are missing in the data. Novel idea, but if accuracy is not guaranteed, it is just for entertainment only.

I have been using for around 2 weeks, the place I spend most time is my house for 8 or 10 hours a day, some days it doesn’t show that I was at my house at all. When it saves a location app gives you great info map location and time spent. Only problem I have is app misses a few locations I visit every day. I am using an apple XS, maybe it works better on older phones. Maybe it needs an update.

I try to incorporate all the things I need to do into one trip if possible and VisitsJournal helps me to remember where I’ve been because at the end of a long day sometimes I don’t remember. It works great and it logs how long you been there, how many times you’ve been there. It’s the only app at VisitsJournal Store that is able to do these things. Love VisitsJournal .

The idea of VisitsJournal is terrific. Very useful! I just returned from a week in Kauai and it is great to see my itinerary, especially since the names of places I went are unfamiliar and hard to spell!

by Nutrageous!

Tracks almost your every move, which is fun to review, until you realize it’s .recording. your every move. Creepy.

Using Google maps, the location finder can differentiate between buildings 1/2 mile apart.

Accuracy from -spot on, names the location, to -pretty good, names a nearby street, to -Totally Missed my trip 28 miles away for a three hour visit, lost off the grid.

Why?

Great App. Very useful.

I need the option to reset my tracking to zero places and start over.

Is there a way that's already available which I don't know of?

Would be nice if I could track mileage between visits

I use Visits Journal in the background, unlike some who use it to document travel on the job. For my purposes, it is great, especially when I want to remember where I have visited over the weeks (and years). It is not always completely accurate, ie, it might show the location as across the intersection from my actual location. But, it is easy enough to figure out where I was, and that is a good trade off to avoid draining my battery as do some GPS apps. Thank you for creating VisitsJournal.

By far one of the best apps, if you track you’re arrival and departure times for payroll it is a must have, it gives you a piece of mind I’ve tried other apps and by far its the best out there ,awesome I Highly recommend

by Maelstrom86

Only real problem I’ve came across is if you spend more than 24 hours in a location it won’t record any time there at all. Or too short a time, which is more understandable. Otherwise it’s pretty accurate.

by ConsiderateReviewer

Visits is the only app that effortlessly keeps track of where I’ve been using a completely native iOS interface while absolutely respecting my privacy. And the developers are highly responsive.

Seeing my “visits” mapped out over time compels me to get out there and travel more! Highly recommend!

I have been using VisitsJournal for Avery long time
I am very disappointed because I wanted it to track all the places I traveled for my job. Since I travel around the world or did before covid!
On Monday morning I drive to a particular location opened VisitsJournal - hoping it would document my location. It did not. As a matter of fact it has not documented any place I have been since May 30. I have very disappointed in VisitsJournal and it’s consistent inconsistencies.
I wish you all would fix it! This is the 2nd time
I have written to you. You said you would fix it..guess you don’t know how

I am a regional manager and I arrive and
Go in and talk to managers and help as much as I can.

Sometimes I am quickly adjusting schedule and fielding calls from other locations on issues. The day can be blur and I try to stay focused on staff and facility.

So at the end of the month when I look back and realize I did not keep tabs on where I was a s well as I should.
Visits gives me a way to track my “visits “!
