Reporter App Reviews

Hoping for changes.

I like a lot of what this offers.... However I personally think the sleep / awake paradigm is only getting in my way and wish I could disable it. Just give me X number of random or timed questions + a few specifically timed check-ins and I'd be great. Second, the color choices and font size / contrast ratios really are rough on me. I appreciate the bold design but wish it was a bit easier on the eyes.

Very useful but missing something crucial

This data needs to be searchable for cross reference. When I’m feeling good, I’d like to be able to find in the all what I was doing and where. Same with feeling bad. The data is already there, it just needs to be searchable. Then it could be useful for identifying positive and negative influences in your life.

Life journaling done right

Marius Watz

Reporter is the best solution for Quantified Self life journaling I've tried, in fact it's probably one of the cleanest and best-looking apps I've seen. Reporter defines a random-sampling journaling workflow that is both flexible and well-thought out. It may not be perfect for everyone's needs but it certainly is consistent and easy to use. Personally, I find the report schedule a little constraining. It's great for making sure you track data regularly, but not for adding intermittent single data points rather than a full report. I'm guessing that might be the reason why values from the previous report is kept as defaults when you manually submit a new one. UI flaws: Can't edit tokens, can't move tokens between questions, can't change times on reports or create post-dated posts (would be useful to create posts for past events, reporting while being social seems rude.) Things I'd hope to see: Quantity tracking (a la Daytum), single data point entry, an online support forum, option to link to RescueTime and other (stable) automatic tracking tools.

UI needs work

Love the idea and ability to customize, but never really felt I understood the apps UI. Adding signifiers and feedback would help.

Really great. Just what I wanted.

After seeing a Feltron report years ago I wanted just such an app, with different question types and the ability to tokenize responses. This is a beautiful execution of that idea. No bugs for me so far. Probably the main feature I would like to see is the ability to edit time tags to be able to create reports in the past - this would be especially useful to me because I don't always have access to my phone. Love that data is all kept on the device. Export worked well for me. Visualizations are a bit constrained and leave something to be desired but hey - make your own with the data :) Felton doesn't use the app to make his!

Needs iOS 8 update.

Great life-logging app, but it could be so much better with app extensions. Being able to send data to a journaling app, for example, would be extremely useful. Display is not optimized for the newer iPhones.

Rigid despite customization options

I don't use Reporter to check in on me at random times of the day. Just want to be able to write a report with a variety of questions each night at bedtime about the day. The ability to program custom questions is fantastic. The fact that I have to tell the app that I've gone to bed and woken up each time I go to write a fresh report is annoying and results in 2 reports each day, one of which is empty. Further, cleaning up data is a pain. If I spell something wrong, like a friend's name, the app memorizes it and I'm forever stuck with bad data and suggestions. If I am in SF one day but want to go back and write a report for yesterday when I was in NYC and I write-in NYC, it permanently believes that SF is called NYC. And while you can export data, you can't take it out, clean it up, and reimport it. Also, it's buggy. For something designed to give so much control, it is missing some basics.

Great customization and slick UI

This app is really well done. The user interface is beautiful and I have yet to encounter a single bug or hangup. The app allows you to customize when you report and what questions you're asked. It then builds an awesome in app report on the results and you can export the data if you desire to further customize your reporting. Only potential disadvantage you should be aware of is that it doesn't allow you to report in the past, you can only create current reports that will be documented with your current location and current time. Keep up the great work Feltron!

Buggy

The last few updates have jumbled up answers and made things just a mess in general.

Finally Stable

1.1 fixes all the stability issues. It's really good! Been using Reporter for almost a solid year now. Thanks for the update!
