1000 Hours Outside App Reviews

Enjoying the app—would love some kind of feature to compare to last year. Started 2024 as the second year tracking and I’d love to see where we’re at compared to last year

I absolutely love the idea of this app and have been very pleased with the incentive it offers to spend time outside. Unfortunately, in just the two weeks I’ve been using it I’ve encountered many occasions where the app glitches and doesn’t record my time. Oftentimes I’ll hit the start button, see the count begin, and leave for my time outside only to come back and find that the app didn’t record my time. This has been quite frustrating, as I’ll have to estimate my time outside and manually rec

We just started tracking our hours this year and this app made it super simple. I have three little kids, so coloring a page daily was a bit overwhelming. I decided to make this purchase and it was very much worth it. I can backtrack hours, add them daily or even start a timer when I go outside. It’s easy to use and makes tracking your outdoor hours simple and not overwhelming. Definitely worth the purchase!

So easy to track my hours every day!

Love the whole movement, and the app is helpful and inspiring.

This is our second year using this app and it’s so much better than the random clock app I was using. I’ve experienced NO BUGS with this app- which, we all understand happen, but really, great job programming it.

Makes it so easy to keep track of time outside. You can edit when you forget to start or stop and it keeps track of multiple years so you can go back and compare.

This app allows our family to easily track our hours outside. I love that I can add journal entries and photos to log our most treasured family memories. The badges motivate my kids to earn more hours while taking on all nature has to offer.

This is our first year tracking our hours outside with my 3 year old and we love the stopwatch feature, calendar and badges!!

I absolutely love having this app. It’s so easy, so streamlined, and I love that you can always edit your hours if you make a mistake or miss something. It’s really taken the stress out of tracking for me, and actually it’s helped me be more carefree and check the clock even less… to have an app on a phone that actually makes you use your phone less is a pretty big feat! Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to track their hours outside.

I love everything about 1000 Hours Outside. It has helped me to be a better mom & it's been amazing to watch us become more of an outdoor family.

We love tracking our time outside, and Ginny has made it so easy with this app. I’m not one to buy many apps, but this one was worth every penny!

I love the program and have loved how much more time we are spending outside, but this is such a buggy app. It closes out every time I open it, anytime I have to edit hours, the number pad won’t close, so the app must be restarted, etc. And I was disappointed to find once I subscribed that almost all of the adventure map points are restaurants. Too expensive for that, and unfortunately I purchased the full year before seeing that. That said, we are spending much more time outside and that has be

I love the app! I love how you can set a timer or put in the hours yourself when you forget. But what I would LOVEEEE is to be able to add your friends so you guys can “compete” to see who is winning. My friends and I are tracking our hours and wish we could add each other as friends to watch our progress. I think it would a lot of fun!

I wish it was more user friendly. Like why does the app not offer notifications?? “GET OUTSIDE TODAY!” Or “did you record your outdoor hours today?” Like god. Encourage me!!

I really like this app but think it could use some updates. - I love tracking time with multiple profiles they make it super easy. However the numbers aren’t accurate because when I remove time it only comes off of the main account. - I frequently forget to turn off my timer when we come inside. I think you could easily add a setting to pick your “normal” outdoor time and if the stopwatch is tracking longer than that the app sends you an alert that asks if you’re still outside. Thanks!

Overall I really like this app and the concept, however, I really need the calendar to be able to track everyone’s progress, not just the main user’s account. I can’t remember if I’ve logged everyone’s hours and there’s no way to see which days/hours for them. Please please make this change so I can accurately track all progress.

Overall I like the app and it helps keep us on track for our goal. However, given that the main feature of the app is the timer, it’s frustrating how often I start the timer, leave the app, only to come back to the timer not running and that it didn’t track my time at all.

The app is fine, but for the functionality, it’s not worth three dollars. Free? Yes. $.99? I can get behind that. But three dollars for such limited functionality seems a bit pricey.

We love the timer feature of this app for counting all our outside hours. It would be wonderful to have the option to use the timer on my Apple watch as well, so the phone can be left at home and the hours still easily logged.

The app is starting to be buggy, especially the timer. I’ll leave the timer running until we come inside and when I go to turn it off it’s like it froze and is still on 00:00. It’s messed with hours a lot because it doesn’t accurately track since it freezes

That’s why I purchased the app. I was looking forward to conveniently track our individual outdoors time but unfortunately the time tracker doesn’t work and messes up everybody’s time every time I use it for a specific person. So I have to still manually track it and update it in here. Kind of disappointing, otherwise would be a great app

*update * Customer service contacted me promptly and helped me resolve the issue! App is working great now! Just purchased the app and like a lot of the features, but setup has been glitchy, and it won’t let me add profiles or update my user name.

I love the idea of tracking time spent outside and being able to see time for each day/week/month is super cool! It’s a nice motivator to see everything laid out. I just wish the app was compatible with Apple Watches, that would be incredibly convenient!

The app works really well and I’ve seen how they have implemented ideas from previous reviews. I’d love to see widgets! Lock Screen widgets to track daily/weekly totals and Home Screen widgets to see the stop watch or calendar. It would make the app much more functional for me.

I love this app! It’s so easy to navigate and track our hours. I’d love to know if there’s a way to change your start date. I’d love to change mine, if someone could please help me with that. Thanks

I love the timer, that you can add pictures and have the data all in one space!

I think this app is awesome. There might be a bug in the toggling in the page with links and blog. I want to go backwards it it’s not possible. I have to shut the app down to refresh the tab.

Totally worth the price. Would be nice if you could see the date you accomplished each badge to look back on.

I generally like this app, but any time I try to post photos from my hikes or my days outside they don’t post. That is the only thing I don’t like.

I initially gave this app 2 stars for the way it was tracking time . The update changed that so now I have no more complaints so I changed my rating to 5 stars

When the new year started I didn’t think to reset the app for this year until beginning of February. I reset it but now won’t include my hours I’ve logged for January for this years hours. Is there way to edit my reset date?

I was so frustrated with the tracker- it wouldn’t accurately track a quarter of an hour!!! Now it is fixed. The only thing that would make it better is the ability to log for several different family members on one screen. 🙂

Love this app and challenge!! Helps a forgetful mama like me keep track of our outside time and encourages us to get out even more.

When I leave app running and screen turns off it lags a lot on showing current time outside. I have stopped and restarted the timer not needing to.

What a cute, fun way to stay motivated to be outside with your littles! I love tracking things and this app makes tracking your hours simple. You can even get little badges as you get closer to your 1000 hour goal. 😍

It’s so frustrating trying to edit the recorded hours, and if there’s a way to add separate time records for one day, I haven’t found it yet. Blergh.

Would be nice if it integrated the activities and gave ideas each day but it’s mostly a blank slate for logging.

I use this to keep track and love the idea. But with the latest update, I can’t seem to put in hours for Friday & Saturday. I will keep using it the best I can but please fix!

I love the fact that I can log the hours on my phone, but what I love the most is I can keep track of memories made and save photos. Also, if you forget to log your hours, you can go back to a date and add them in.

You can’t go back and edit the hours entered manually in bulk when you set up your account, but those hours also don’t show up anywhere so it’s like they don’t exist. Also, the app gets hung on the “shop” button and continues a loop.

I wish there was a way to put in past hours by day so our graph for the year could be accurate. I have a whole spreadsheet broken down by date and the time we spent outside instead of just a total for the year.

I am super excited to try this app out but I would love to see it changed to allow you to track multiple children and see their hours separately.

I can’t get the app to open and track consistently. Would love tips and tricks! So far the easiest method I’ve found is closing all my apps and hoping for the best, but even that’s only 40% effective.
