Description
If so, Storica is your ultimate documenting and recollection tool!
It records a variety of sensors, information, and processes, as well as augments the recordings. You can examine, annotate and recall your recorded experiences through a calendar-based user interface from which you can choose various visualisations:
1. Digital stories: Storica assembles meaningful events, defined through activities such as calls made/received, SMS, IMs, or annotations made through our widgets, and creates a digital story of your life with configurable backgrounds. You can define own locations, based on geo-information, WiFi or BT data.
2. Maps: Storica provides tracks of your recordings. You can see what happened at each recorded location, either in abstracted icon/text form or through detailed timelines, tag clouds etc. and even enable a flyover mode.
3. Gallery: Storica shows pictures you took during recording in a context-enriched gallery.
NOTE: Your camera app MUST store photos on the internal SD card due to restrictions since KitKat!
4. Graphs: If curious about the information recorded, you can view it through, e.g., timelines and word clouds.
To each day, you can add text or audio annotations for better recollection. You can use simple widgets to annotate what is happening at any time and how you feel, both of which can also be done from your Android smartwatch! You can also share your experiences via social media.

5 ★ Without doubt, the best and most comprehensive life monitoring app I have ever used. The visualisations are excellent and genuinely exciting to look at.
5 ★ Storica let's you visualize and re-experience memories as were recorded by the AIRS software. No data are leaked! It's worth the money to watch, via lots of visualisations, where you were, what you've been doing..good work!
3 ★ First of all, I think the idea of having something that grabs info from all your device sensors and makes it easily available to you is brilliant. I'm glad I don't have to rely on some venture-funded startup to give me access to my own data! However, there seems to have been a bit of a regression with this latest version. My use case is storing event annotations along with device sensors, then transferring them to a database off-device for visualization of trends over time. The built in visualizations in Storica are more episodic and not so much about trends over time, plus it seems like the AIRS installation within this new version of Storica doesn't read all the sensors that the previous AIRS did.
