MoveX - Step and Run Tracker

Of the apps I’ve tried that do similar things, this one seems to track my location the most accurately, and display this data very nicely with the ability to share photos and videos too. I see the update today supports export of gpx and csv data, but it needs to support importing those data types as well... Also, the reason I came here today to write this review is that I am suggesting to implement more track editing abilities. Sometime last night the gps tracking bounced my position somewhere in the middle of nowhere [though my device had never moved] and likewise created an hours long track to some “unknown place” and back again in the morning. I was able to delete the erroneous [car] track, but now I am stuck with a 7+ hours stay at this unknown location and I cannot delete the place point. If I am going to pay for the subscription, I really want to be able to have a concise and complete record of my movement data which is going to involve more abilities to edit my tracks—maybe even draw them on the map if the gps tracking fails again? Overall, I think this is the best app of its kind currently on the App Store. Good job!

Since losing the original Movies app, I have tried many apps and this comes the closest in tracking your daily activity. I feel this is the best app out there but the fact that without giving any forewarning switching to a subscription model is in bad taste. Since upgrading 2 days ago, it has tracked absolutely nothing. So in short, no warnings of the upcoming changes and then on top of that it locks you out, stops tracking and doesn’t even notify you of the stoppage. I wish I could give it zero stars for the shady practice. To Developer: Thank you for your response. I have no issues with you charging for the app. My issue is with you not giving your users, who have helped you get the app where it is, a chance to decide if they want to pay or not. You did not give any warnings that this was coming up in the new release. What you did was blindsiding your users and alienating them.

I am thankful for a good start to a Moves replacement. I was able to do the import just before Moves shut down. However, lots of basic things needed. The option for imperial unites (miles). A way to back up your database. Moves was famous for corrupting its database, but they had an effective was to restore it. They either need their own server backup, or a backup to iCloud. The ability to edit your locations, change mode of transportation etc. Lastly, battery life seems pretty terrible. It has been sucking up a LOT of batter life. Granted, Moves was pretty bad for that originally, but they fixed that a good time ago. The UI is pretty well nailed, it really does look like the old Moves. Let’s hope it keeps getting better.
