BetterYou can help you keep track of habits you want to develop or maintain that involve going somewhere specific each week. Our Location goals are:

  1. Place of Fitness

  2. Place of Reading

  3. Place of Learning

  4. Place of Socializing with Friends/Family

  5. Place of Mindfulness (Meditation, Relaxation)

  6. Place of Spirituality (Places of worship or personal reflection)

These goals use your phone's location data to see when you go to the places you tell us you want to go for various goals. To get credit for a place you must be at the location for greater than 15 minutes and no more than 5 hours.

Common Troubleshooting Tip!

  • Location is dependent on your devices gps information. If you're noticing you're not getting credit for a location goal try pulling up any navigation app to see where it's showing your location.

  • Permissions need to be set too:

    • iOS - "Always" or if set to "While Using the App" you'll have remember to open the app every time you visit.

    • Android - "Allow all the time" or if set to "Allow only while using the App" you'll need to remember to open the at every time you visit.

If you're location goal is also at your home or work and exceeding the 5 hr rule OR if you're not getting gps pings recorded due to your device or reception you'll want to use the Logging Progress Manually method.
​
​​Android and iOS Location permissions must be enabled for these goals to be updated!
