LiveGreen Daily Carbon Tracker

Great app, great concept, big advocate… just needs a compromise for battery life! Tracking background kills my phone battery, if its not plugged in overnight I’ll go to bed with 100 and wake up with 25. Im not going anywhere when I’m sleeping, so it’d be appreciated if the developers could find a way around that. Also agree with what a few other reviews are saying— needs more actionable items! Activism, washing clothes on cold, composting… ect!

I really love the concept behind the app, and I think it is amazing that you can pay to undo your CO2 emissions. Also, I like how you can see how many pounds of CO2 each activity emitted. However, I have a few suggestions to make the app even better. First, there need to be a lot more foods to log because very simple things, such as carrots, are missing. Second, I hope to soon see more activities added, such as turning off the lights, charging a phone, and other small, simple tasks. Finally, I wish that the app would give suggestions about how to improve your carbon emissions instead of just telling you to do better. Additionally, I am a teenager, so I don’t have control over my bills, so I wish there was an option for not knowing how much your bills are, but I understand why the calculations would be off if that were to exist. Overall, this is a great app and I would definitely recommend it, and I hope to see even more cool features added as I continue using it!

Just got on board with the app today (it actually released today as well), and I’m thoroughly impressed with how well put together the app is. The calculations it makes are sound, the in app purchases are completely optional (and the payment model is AWESOME!), and above all else it’s just easy to use. Logging meals and having it automatically track my trips in the car is... incredible to say the least. The app takes just about everything it should into consideration: the items you own, the items you buy, the amount you spend on electricity/water, your car’s MPG, the average amount you travel in a year, and the food you eat. It gave me a realistic option of goals to choose from, and I feel like if I actually took the time to be on the app, I’d without a doubt meet it. The inclusion of leaderboards is fun and makes it a good way to challenge your friends into being less of a scum bag than you. Only things I can mention as negatives is that currently there’s a few issues causing the app to lock up and force close on me (inconsistently unless I abuse the heck out of it), but it just came out today so... I have the utmost faith that the team that put this together will get it fixed. Give livegreen a try, you might surprise yourself.
