functionality corresponds to the daily needs.
Clear, intuitive and well organised but 19.99 € are too much to get the full app!!!
The best thing about this app is that YOU determine what to track, how to measure/log data, etc. Want to know how activity X relates to medical symptom Y? This allows YOU to set that relationship. First, before you get frustrated, understand this from their website: "Lumen Trails comes in 8 colors. They differ in the sample categories to get you started. The core functionality is the same. Each version is a fully functional, multi-purpose tracker that you can customize to track anything." It would be so easy to end up with a half dozen trackers, particularly if you have, say, multiple health issues and meds to monitor, while wanting to track how things like exercise, meditation or biofeedback track against symptoms. Track your migraines here! Log your glucose levels there! Have asthma? Heres another app! And log exercise and meditation time in two more apps. Now, want to see how time spent exercising or meditating tracks with your migraines?? Good luck with that!! Unless you have Lumen Trails. Just set up trackers in the same folder (or whatever they call them) for any category you want to compare against another, and soon - if youre faithful- youll have graphs that will show if more time spent doing X means fewer migraines or whatever. Heck - track hours of sleep versus fight with your boss. Or glasses of water per day versus specific.... I dont know, asthma symptoms? The only flaw I find is in my own motivation to keep my trackers current, but Lumen cant really fix that! BE CREATIVE, & ENJOY!
The app has tremendous potential but doesnt have the most basic tools. For example, no ability to create a simple checklist that resets each day. Also, they previously had a template function--their basic ones were helpful (customisable and saved time) and its too bad they were removed, but this tool was also pathologically underdeveloped. The option to save templates was available but no library to share among users to improve everyones use by sharing better templates (so they didnt even have to try to make templates if that was why they were removed--users would do the work for them). Overall this app could be amazing and never has been. It is the genius but lazy second son who could have achieved 3 PhDs but still plays computer games in his parents basement at 38.
Introducing monthly fees for a previously paid (and expensively paid) app is a fiasco. A so-called developer should DEVELOP a different NEW product, and establish such scheme for its new creation, not steal the one already sold and try to make people re-pay for it. Shame on Lumen Trails.
Was my go to app for lists and reminders. But now ads have been included in the latest update for an app previously paid for. Thanks for nothing.
I had a fully paid up version of Lumen Trails. This new version has suddenly introduced ads and is basically forcing me to pay a monthly subscription to get the of them
This "update" inserted ads to a product I had previously PAID FOR. Looks like the only way to get rid of the ads is to start forking over $ every month. Very annoying. I guess Ill be looking for a replacement for this app now. Sigh.
Another great app that I purchased then they turn it free with ads and only offer a subscription model. Uninstalled.
I had a fully paid up version the Lumen trails. Why you add advertisements? Remove it or I will replace this app.
Hate the new update with ads. I PAID for this app. I should not have to put up with ads. Total ripoff.
DO NOT UPDATE! This developer sold this app (and 7 other versions in different colors with slightly different names) for as much as $19.99. Then they introduced an update to v10.3 (from v8.17), which they described as "Added an option to use Lumen Trails for free with ads, and introduced an optional monthly subscription, which removes ads and supports future development." But that updated simply introduced advertisements (and no new features) in an attempt to push existing purchasers of the app to buy a paid subscription to remove the ads. They did not ADD an "option to use Lumen Trails for free with ads"--existing paid customers could already use the app without ads. Apple should roll back the update and prohibit such deceptive practices.
Why I wont update this app: 1. The new fonts are ugly. Previous version uses SF UI font which looks better. 2. ADS are inserted to ad-free app. 3. The developer changes app price very frequntly. First he said that old app will work but removed from app store and replaced by Lumen Tracker. Lumen Tracker had subscription of $6.99/month->2.99->1.99. Also there was initailly 1 month free trial->1 hour free trial->no free trial but ads. Old Lumen Trails apps were removed from App store. In v 8.17 changelog, he said that "we made Lumen Trails completely free". But than he found that Lumen Tracker is not discovered by many. So he brought back Lumen Trails and added subscription model to this old app, too. He is also OK with 1 star reviews because he says that he earns more at present than past.(from the blog post on his website) 4. I tried Lumen Tracker, but category icons are removed. 5. He deleted my previous reviews of Lumen apps and blocked me on Twitter. I didnt write anything offensive. Thats why I wrote this review again. 6. Please update screenshots of Lumen Trails app. The first screenshot with 5 star is misleading. 7. There was no warning previously that this update adds ads. Many users on iPhone may have updated the app directly on their iPhone without backup. There might not have v 8.17 ipa. Im luckey to have backup. Those users frustration is reflected in 1 star reviews.
i have only used the journal category so far in the app and it works great. i have recommended this app to a tech person to use for a trip for a photo journal. btw you can add multiple pics to entries your not limited to just 1 pic.

Great app for organizing my life, by keeping notes in the same place. Just wish I could figure out how to sync my data with my IPad.
I love this app! I use it to track weight loss/ health, you can use it for anything. Highly customizable and easy to use.
I am using this app to track my fitness activity and find it easy to use and like the calendar view to see how I am doing at a glance. I also use it as a book reading journal to track what books I have read, how long it takes me to read them, and a brief review when I finish them. ***Excellent tech support— got back to me/remedied my issue unbelievably fast via email.
Love to use this as my personal diary. I can even add pictures!
