TaxBird - Residency Tracker

With homes in 3 states it’s critical to track where we are and where we are not to avoid tax issues. This app does that very well. The one area of improvement would be to increase the reliability of recognizing the location each day. There are some days when it just does not register. If that can be improved - 5 stars.

I’ve been a subscriber for almost five years. There was a period about one to two years ago following an iOS update that made the app very glitchy and required daily monitoring to make sure locations were being properly recorded. Since that issue was addressed the app works seamlessly in the background and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Just set it and forget it. The effortless record keeping is a pleasure.

We travel frequently between Texas and New York and this app automates tracking those travels for tax purposes. I was initially concerned by some of the negative reviews about TaxBird but decided to downloaded the app anyway (there is a free trial period before a subscription is required) and it has worked exactly as described. The typical battery consumption is less than 1% according to my iPhone and the cost of a TaxBird subscription is very reasonable as compared to others which provide similar functionality.
