About this app

Effortlessly keep a digital record of your hours spent outside with the Official 1000 Hours Outside app. Easy timer functionality - just open the app and click play to start the timer, then put the phone down and enjoy the outdoors! The app will track your time in the background so you don't have to think about it. Keep a journal of your adventures by jotting down notes and uploading photos, add up to nine additional profiles to track individual hours for members of your family, and unlock hours milestone badges to share on social media.

You can also upgrade to a monthly or yearly subscription to access the Adventure Maps feature, which highlights family-friendly attributes of various locations. You can even easily see where other 1KHO app users have checked in and left reviews to help you better plan your own adventures!

Ratings and reviews

After opening and using the app only once, i'd say it falls just short of perfect. I love that you can add photos and little journal entries. It's also helpful to be able to track the time for multiple profiles. However, it would be SO MUCH more helpful if each profile had a stopwatch that ran independently instead of only 1 watch. For one person to track the time for a family of 5 that may not always be outside together, I can see it becoming monotonous to add and subtract time for each profile

It would be nice if the app could pipe up and ask if I'm really trying to log 71 hours on Tuesday or if I just forgot to turn the timer off. I guess if I was camping outside in the open air I might want it running that long, but it would be nice if it could ask yes or no. Kinda disappointed with how little this app can do for what I paid. The main futures are a fairly basic timer/ calendar and badges that you must pay extra for.

This app is great. It's minimalist and serves it's purpose for recording hours outside. My only complaints would be that it automatically shuts off at midnight which makes recording overnight camping a bit more difficult (obviously not impossible) and that it doesn't have a better way to calculate the hours recorded for individual kids outside vs counting individual hours for the whole total.
