Edit: it now very much under calculates phone time. Using most up to date version. Time to uninstall Used to be 5 stars, but the timing no longer appears to be accurate and I've had a few cases of it duplicating app timings. Last night it had me on one app for 50 mins twice, wasn't even the right length of time. Edit: previous review was from an updated version of the app. Knocked another star off as the app has calculated more than 5 hours of phone time I did not have today.

Hello, ive liked the simplicity and design of this app and i wonder- whats the limit time it can keep track of your usage? Maximum 1 year? The worst part about usage tracker apps is that they font keep track for as long as you use it, its limited to 6 months or so, wich is terrible. Does this app track for more than one year? If yes, congrats you just made the best app of this kind.

Hi Jooj, Absolutely you can track all apps lifetime not only for a year. you can always go to the year tab and check past years usage history.

It just doesn't work most of the time. (Infinite start up screen, or no data shown.) But when it works it's great.
