I've been using this app for about 3 weeks now, and it's honestly taught me so many things about my phone usage and just general behaviour patterns! Absolutely incredible stuff, and can't wait to see what all they expand to! And for real, upgrade to the lifetime pro membership, it's worth it!

@arkwerk Thanks!

Version 3 did nothing of use, super curious if this version will be different!

@andym_dc hi Andrew. Sure we would love to hear from you. Could you shoot me an email on shashwat@emberify.com with your thoughts on how we can make it more useful for you.

@shashwatpradhan hey sorry, I misphrased that. The things it's supposed to do are certainly useful. Or at least just cool to know. But it never did those things. After a full day of using phone, it'd tell me I had 3 or 4 pick ups. Psh, I have 4 pick ups before u wake up in the morning. Also, just saw a misspelled word, which doesn't affect functionality, but I just have this weird thing about things being correct. Having said that, I am typing on phone so any overlooked typos here should be attributed to that ;)

@andym_dc okay. Could you make sure you're allowing the app to run in background and not swiping it up. Also we can't track on low power mode.

OMG this is the last mile before transhumanism...

Nice app guys! I have monitored most of those things a spreadsheet (and failing to update it several times) - this is a great improvement! Is there a way to input data to the app? For exemple: I train cross-fit with the phone in my backpack. Is there a way to input this info to the app? I couldn't find it.

@pisrael hi Pedro, we want the tracked data to be automatic in Instant so don't allow manual entries right now. Although, you can export data as a csv from Instant and then add your cross fit data in that spreadsheet.

@shashwatpradhan Hi Shashwat! I'm really using the app now but data input / editing still an issue for me. Yesterday I went to bed at 11:30 and woke up at 6h, but the app says I slept from 7:24 pm and woke up at 9:46 pm. I'm really enjoying knowing how much time I'm spending using the phone, or how much I "waste" commuting, but I really would like to get the data right to create a nice historical data and take action on it. Let me know if there are any plans for it.

I tried it now for a few days because i was curious about it. Especially i was curious about the sleep, because i don't see how my phone would know that. And well, seems it doesn't. Interestingly enough even the wake up time is about 15 minutes off, even thought my alarm is on my phone. Clearly it needs GPS for a lot of features, i haven't tested those (poor battery) as well as the app logging features. I see the potential, i guess in a future where we wear devices the whole day it could generate a lot of interesting data.

I download the app on my iPhone and was thinking it was really cool until I left on my lunch break. Something about the app was causing the Bluetooth phone connection in my car to think I was on a phone call and rendering my radio useless. I had to disable Bluetooth on my phone, delete the app, and then enable Bluetooth again for my radio to work. I tested it a couple times and its for sure the app causing it.

@deekor on which phone are you using it?

I've been using this for a while, kind of cool at first, but a lot of the tracking data ends up being too inaccurate to be useful. Very cool otherwise.

@bedobry hi Eugene. What data did you find inaccurate? Also on what phone are you using Instant?

I LOVE this and am working on something very very similar - well done. I'm so glad to see something out there that is so very close to what I'm building, it ratifies that there is a desire for this out there. 871 up votes is such a great sign.

@benjudah hi Ben, that sounds great! We work with other companies on the development who are making self-tracking apps/products. Shoot me an email on shashwat@emberify.com if you would be interested.
