1000 Hours Outside

This concept and this app/ podcast about simplifying our life to shift our focus around time outside has transformed our family life. Trying to homeschool, take care of a baby, and meet the needs of a special needs child has felt impossible. Why are we trying to do anything else? This is it for us. We are so grateful.

ginny you just are

We’ve long used this app since our five-year-old was just one years old. So so worth it! It changed our lives for the better.

It’s an okay app for tracking multiple people’s time, but it could be a lot better. For example, if it told you how many times you were outside that day. Or if it gave time stamps instead of just a lump of time for that day. The calendar only shows the main persons time. It’s not an easy switch to other profiles. The map is useless. The coloring pages don’t save the colors you’ve used.

I love the idea of this app and was really excited to try it, but I am very sad to report that it does not work well with screen readers. I use voiceover on IOS and the app is not very accessible, with many unlabeled buttons and other issues. This would be great to use if it worked, and I will continue to try to figure out how to use it, but it would be fantastic if it were made accessible with voiceover!
