BENEFITS
Simple to use daily timesaver! You dont have to fiddle around with time recordings on yourself. Free your mind and just dont bother about manual time tracking anymore!

PRIVACY
100% Private: Only YOU can see your data. We will never collect or share any information about you. We respect and care about the privacy of our users!

REQUIREMENTS
For the best and most accurate monitoring results, Wi-Fi, carrier and location services should always be enabled for Geofency. iBeacon monitoring requires at least Bluetooth 4.

BATTERY USE
Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. Geofency was designed to use GPS very sparingly and never in the background. The app relies mostly on cell tower + Wi-Fi locations. This has been carefully chosen to get the best battery life.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
• "I had no idea that my iPhone could do such things!"
• "Beautiful, polished and elegant designed. Extremely simple to use."
• "Perhaps the most overall effective app available."

Pros and cons of Geofency • Time Tracking app for iPhone and iPad

Geofency • Time Tracking app good for

This app makes my time recording much easier. Just define a narrow circle, subtract some minutes and enter in company system. After many weeks I get lazy and wish my offset of minutes I could subtract automatically Else well done.
I wrote the developers and asked them if the ‘Single’ view could refresh automatically. They added the feature and the update was released in just a few days! Great team! I use the app constantly without having to think about it to track my work hours. Very useful.
I dont see any impact on the battery having this running 24/7. However Id like a way to backup and restore when I replace my device
No spam, no scam and no data collection by the developer. This app does one job and it is doing it well - like advertised. Worth the prize!
Provides an accurate listing for when you enter and exit a geofenced location. Perfect for creating time sheets for your job or for figuring out average times for getting from location to location (commute times for example). Much improved (in the last few updates) battery usage, no significantly noticeable increase in consumption when running this app constantly to track your locations. Great app and frequent updates :)
I have been looking for this kind of app in a long time and it is really amazing!!!

Some bad moments

No crach no warnings i lost everything, But recover all after iphone reboot. Still mad at you . Any icould sync feature coming?
Use This privacy --> Location Service --> System Service --> Frequent Location --> History
We service companies all over the US and bill our time. I use to have to keep manual records which is real pain. This is almost perfect. The only things on my wish list are the ability to sync specific locations with an iCal calendar and the option to round up or down by a specified amount of time (nearest half hour for example). Otherwise this app is great and will save me a ton of time.
Very nice application. One feature requested is to include the current time in the days and week totals.
By far the best gps based time/location app currently available. Highly intuitive, incredibly accurate and amazing support!
Not the prettiest app in the store, but it gets the job done with no noticeable battery drain.
