Hands On With Reporter, An iOS App That Wants To Help You Understand Your Daily Life

If you are like me, life speeds by and you cling for something like normalcy as work and everything else swirls.

Want a better grip on your daily activities, and how your habits are changing over time? Reporter, a new application for iOS, wants to help. Built by Nicholas Felton, a former Facebook designer, Reporter helps you craft a set of questions that pertain to your life — how much coffee you have had, are you working, did you go for a run, and for how long? — and graphs the results.

How do you keep it up, answering the questions on the regular, and preventing slippage in your check-ins? Reporter pings you throughout the day to follow your own survey, preventing gaps.

The app will set you back four dollars, but is a fun trip into your own banality if you want such a thing. Is it for you? Watch my review and decide:
