2026-05-14	Ma*****	RIP Arc timeline, this new version puts a blue active location indicator at the top of your screen 24/7!! This is completely unnecessary but there's no way to make it go away.

2026-05-07	Am*****	This is the best app that I have ever used. The developer is responsive and dedicated. The update seems more accurate and stable than ever before. If you are concerned about the cost you should consider the fact that, if you are like me, you will use this app multiple times per day every day and it does exactly what it promises to do.

2026-05-06	Ch*****	This was exactly what I was looking for as it discreetly and privately logs my location without a lot of battery drain. I really like that I can leave notes at each location and it is easy to correct a particular location if need be. I rarely pay subscriptions for apps but for this one, I will gladly make an exception and pay the $4.99 monthly fee. Well worth it. Good job! 🙂

2026-04-30	Wa*****	The import from Arc Timeline 3 to 4 is extremely slow. However once the import is done the UI is smooth. I’m not a fan of Liquid Glass but that ship has sailed; I’ll just have to get used to it. I noticed that the processing engine also seems faster: when I change an individual segment from one type to another, it takes a lot less time for the result to be shown. Also, when I arrive at a known location, Arc Timeline 4 would display the location way faster than Arc Timeline 3: version 3 would still say “thinking” when version 4 is done. There are some missing features (where are the weather information for trips?) but I hope the developer can add them back in due course.

2026-04-24	AC*****	I’ve been a long time - paying - user for the original Arc app. While I agree with the developer’s assessment that maybe the time had come for a revamp, Arc Timeline 4 leaves a lot to be desired. For starters, the import of my old Arc data. Not only does it take to long - and I’m not getting a warning that my phone will be unavailable for 10-15 minutes -, it looks like raw unmanipulated data was imported from Arc. Meaning that if I corrected Arc’s mistakes - and there were plenty - those manual overwrites are lost in Arc Timeline 4. And that alone makes the app unusable for me for the moment.

2026-04-22	Dm*****	I’ve been using ARC for more than ten years, since the old Moves app went belly-up. I like that my data stays in my control, I like the ease with which I can annotate my records, and I like that the app’s interpretation of my locations has improved beyond what GPS alone can provide as it learned to recognize my privately named locations.
