Moves App Reviews

Could be perfect if only there was a Health Kit connection.

Please add the ability to automatically export data to the Health App!

Been locked out of my account for more than a week and the support team has been nonexistent. The app is subpar at best anyway.

This substitutes for a GPS breadcrumbs nicely. I do wish it tracked miles too. As I find it useful for business trips too. Also have some trouble getting to map view from time to time. What would really make it neat is to report real time to other phones or computers so my wife can see where I am at any time. No, I dont sneak around.

This is one of the apps supported by Virgin Pulse, the engagement program for employers to support employee health, incentivized by premium discounts for points earned for exercise. This app is one used to record exercise for those points. The good thing about the IDEA of this app is that it runs in the background, captures your movement and automagically categorizes it for you. That would be great. In actuality, IF it saw me do anything at all (which many times it did not), it recorded it inaccurately or miscategorized it (one bike ride on steep hills thought I was switching between walking, running and riding every 2 or 3 minutes for the entire ride). Because of the financial rewards for accurate reporting I cannot use this app and cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone else. It also has no method for recording indoor activities like stationary bike, treadmill, HIIT or weight training. I should give his app ONE star for how poorly it performed (and I set every recommended setting, background app refresh, etc., including opening the app before I started an activity, which you are not supposed to have to do) but the idea is great. Its just a trash implementation of that idea, in my experience.

Best multi activity gps tracking app out there. Please,please add Health app export ability. Thanks!

NEW UPDATE SIGNED ME OUT. WHEN I TRY TO LOG IN NOW I AM TOLD I WILL LOSE 1,200+ DAYS OF DATA. NOT GOOD.

Since update, the little emblems for places visited no longer show up on the daily page.

App wont install. Cant be deleted.

I export the auto generated data to my location db.

When it works (usually walking) its okay, but when it doesnt work (usually running) its not just off by miles, it often doesnt even register events. Im definitely looking for something more reliable.

When Nike failed to track todays marathon, no problem because I had moves running in the background! I keep the Moves app running in background always. I find it to be very useful in answering questions such as: how long did it take to hike to Delicate Arch from the car? or How long were we at the restaurant last week? or How long does it take to drive to the city? or What time did I arrive home? Moves tracks it all, without a significant burden on battery. My favorite feature? the maps; other tracking apps either use the gps or the dont have the same mapping abilities.

Simply comparing to what iPhone Health app counts there are very significant differences in number of steps (as large as 30% by a cursory inspection). Everything else would be quite alright... quite unfortunate. If this is by design (which I doubt given other reviews) because of a different counting algorithm, it should be well explained on the display (plenty of room given the minimalist design).

Long time user. The new trip splitting function does not work. I can move the slider to the desired location, but the button to complete the split does nothing.

Hi, apple maps doesnt support my city, its CRAP! Please make it optional to switch between google map or apple map, My current data looks crap because of apple map... 90% of locations are unknown and i cant even edit them

Three weeks now and no response from customer service/tech support. Not cool.

I have an Apple Watch. This app is under counting my steps. It doesnt sync w the Health data recorded by Apple.

Each update, it gets less precise. Not, it complete ignores small distances. For example, I constantly leave my office to have lunch a block away, but the app fails to log the distance walked. It says I have never left the building.

I basically use this to keep track in the background. I hope in the future you will be able to make this useable with the Apple Watch. I dont carry my phone at work so it doesnt count my steps but I will have the watch in a few weeks and it would be nice if it counted the steps.

Please fix the problem that just arose Nov 2016 with reviewing the past days bike/walk/run totals. Scrolling through the days makes most colored circles for totals disappear. Very easy to use, rarely causes problems. With Moves, I have a complete record of where I have been for the past three years. With Move-O-Scope, I can see my patterns and how often I have been where. Both programs have artistic displays. It takes a manual review to be sure walk/bike/runs and drive/train/planes are correctly identified, and the specific restaurants and shops are named, but the end product is unique. I cant understand why there are not many apps to perform this level of tracking, but there are not.
