1000 Hours Outside 4+

Motivating

I love using this app to track our time outdoors. It’s something that’s so important to me for my family and I love stats and data so it is a win win.

A few things I’d love to see improve:
1. An option to pause and re-start the timer. Sometimes we go in and out of the garden for example.
2. The timer logs what time it is when it’s started and stopped e.g. start 11:31 stop 11:45 and make a note in the notes for that day to help keep track.
3. A widget would be soo handy, almost more handy than the above two options because being able to tap on it from Lock Screen would be awesome.
4. I would love it if there were more badges such as a 75 hours reached.
5. I think being able to see a graph of how many hours you’ve achieved each week, month and year compared to each other would be amazing.
6. I think more clarity on the fact that you can start it anytime of the year would be helpful, though I’m being picky here becasue I assumed it had to be within the calendar year and didn’t clock it doesn’t matter when you begin.
I hope some of these are useful and adopted by the creators of this app so I can continue to love it for years to come. I’d love to know if my comments have made a difference.
Anyway, I love how it motivates us to not only get out, but spend more time, take the longer route, try somewhere new.
Thank you

Developer Response ,

Hi! We greatly appreciate your review and thoughtful feedback. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the experience and will discuss all these items!

Nice concept and easy to use app

I really like the idea and am enjoying using the app so far. A couple of pointers for improvement - it would be good for the images to upload to a higher quality. Also I would like to be able to zoom in and out of the images. I’d like to use the app as an album of outdoor memories so these features would help! Thanks 😊

Great app for tracking progress - could have more stats

I tried using a free version of a similar app but I’m so glad I started using this instead! Much easier to use, the virtual badges are a great touch to make you feel you’re achieving something! Timer can be slow to load if you’ve left it for a while but always loads for me with a track of how long I’ve been outside.

Only thing that would improve it for me would be more statistics - being able to see that I’m spending more or less time outside this month/week than last and averages across weeks/ months would be really interesting to see if tracking everything makes a difference to the amount of time being spent outside
