Moves is a user-friendly app that monitors your physical activity and records your daily movements.

Effortless Tracking

A standout feature of Moves is its ability to unobtrusively track your every move. The application operates in the background of your phone, meticulously counting each step you take. It logs the locations you visit and provides a comprehensive record of your daily routine. The app then presents the accumulated data at the end of the day. This includes detailed information such as your total step count, the distance you've covered, the places you've visited, and even a summary of your schedule. This data is conveniently displayed on a map for easy comprehension.

High Energy Consumption

However, one significant drawback of Moves is its high energy consumption. Running in the background constantly means that Moves uses a considerable amount of battery power. This can result in quicker battery drain. Nevertheless, the developers assure users that under normal circumstances, a phone can withstand the app running from morning to night.

Valuable Tool for Daily Activity Analysis

Moves is an invaluable tool for those who wish to gain insights into their daily physical activity. It provides a wealth of information, making it possible to analyze how much you move around in a typical day. This can be particularly useful when trying to establish a healthier lifestyle or setting fitness goals. The information provided by Moves can help you understand your habits better and make necessary changes.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
