Unique approach to an age-old question
One of the aspects I love about this app is you are ultimately in control of what you do and when you do it. Maybe, it’s me, but too many organisational apps have your life mapped out! And that to me is pressure and overkill. You can create as many sub-task levels as you like. What I also love about this app is it’s intuitive and simplified approach to setting up, and getting things done. I found if I have a question, the developer would get back to me within 24/48 hours. If there’s one thing I would wish for it’s the ability to put an hourly rate for work carried out for clients, but that’s no biggy as you already have time calculated.
Not getting updated…
In the latest ios update, starting to fail and sync… no response from feedback team so time to move on I guess… would avoid from now. It is 4 years since any update
Excellent
I’ve been using this app for 5 years now. I can’t fault it. It’s smooth and doesn’t feel at all clunky. I switch tasks constantly so tap in and out every few minutes. At the end of the day, it’s easy to fill in any gaps where I didn’t record my time. It makes billing at the end of every month a painless task. It’s so easy to use that I also time record gym classes and study/music practice hours. I love the colourful charts which show where I’ve been spending my time/where I need to spend more time. I have the pro version so I can export regularly. Whenever I’ve had a query, I’ve received a fast and helpful response from the developer. I’ve tried so many time recording methods since qualifying as a lawyer in 1992, and this is not only the best one, it’s the ONLY one that I’ve found usable.
No iCloud sync now?
Has this app stopped being updated? I see the last version was submitted over 3 years ago! I bought the pro version specifically in order to sync between iPhone and iPad but the function simply doesn’t work. The button to turn iCloud on is greyed out and it just says “searching” on both devices. I’ve tried the trouble shooting in the hints and tips (turning it off and I again and double checking all settings) but no luck. Feeling rather disappointed (and cheated) to think that this app has been abandoned by its creators 3 years ago and that despite still being sold it no longer functions properly on iOS 16 and iPadOS 16.
Excellent time tracker
Simple to use, highly recommended 👍
Best concept
The simplicity of this app is perfect for my needs. Buttons to press start for customisable tasks/projects… was literally what I envisaged when I was scouring through 15 or so other messy apps.
Best time tracker
Having moved to a blended working pattern (self employed as well as employed) I needed to record fairly and accurately what I am doing for who and when. This is the perfect antidote to brain burn up! I've just upgraded to the Pro version for Cloud storage and CSV exporting.
As simple as I needed but with the detail to go with it
All I needed was an app to track my time. Nothing automated, nothing that is requires me to keep my calendar up to date, just something I can simply touch as I switch between tasks. Oh, and I didn’t really want to pay a monthly fee for storing data that I probably do not need for years to come.
I switch tasks probably many times an hour with just single minutes being spent on something sometimes before I move on to something else. Totally inefficient I know but just the way I work. One touch and I have switched task and another one and I am back again on the previous task.
I would have given this 5 stars except for two minor things (and sadly 4.8 was not an option). Firstly (and I totally get this may be just my iPad) I have to hit stop multiple times before a task timer will stop. If I am switching then no issue. Secondly, it would be nice to add some custom fields to the tasks that are included in the sharing of data. Project codes etc. Neither in any way would stop me using this tool. Great app!
Best Time track/manage/review app I ever used!
Highly recommended!!!! Best !!!!!
I tried a lot productivity apps, but definitely Now then is No.1.
Efficiency!!! And! Now then pro can change colors lol, hit the point. Worth to pay!
So good and helpful
This app is so easy and simple it is very inspiring too. As this helps you to get more done.
