Timeline Presenter

I took a punt on this as the blurb ticked all my Program and Project planning, tracking and resourcing boxes In practice it surpassed all expectations to such an extent I consider the iPad / iOS has now come of age, at last An extraordinary app in functionality, ease-of-use, visual impact, utility and cross-device sync’ing message to the developers : if you can do this then could you recreate Lotus Organiser 6 for the iPad … then we’ll be really motoring excellent … a ‘must have’ and - no I don't have shares in the venture further comments after a couple of weeks use…. 1- it would be useful to have capacity to ‘send’ file attachments to other apps and as email attachments 2- not being able to copy an entry from one timeline to another hampers work sometimes 3- being to merge / de-merge timelines would be very helpful and a useful archiving tool 4- printouts as a vertically arranged PDF would be really useful, horizontal printing for a linear timeline is not helpful 5- hyperlinks between timelines is a must for complex multi-factorial projects 6- capturing web pages would be a real winner onward and upward !!!

It is fantastic, and definitely warrants five stars. It’s disappointing that it’s Apple only - I was hoping to switch between my laptop and iPhone, and although it’s expensive monthly, five minutes into the free trial I understood exactly why. This app is intuitive, you can create sub-timelines, add categories and filter by category, colour code and add photos. The option to click your event and have a world of further presentation options is amazing. My one complaint would be that the default text size is very small on my phone when I type into a textbook - an option to increase the default text size would be great. Again, this is apple only, but it’s impressed me so much that I won’t rate lower than five stars.

This app lives in its own universe. Doesn’t allow printing, no way to resize the file to fit onscreen, no user help beyond the most basic things. When I “share” a file, the recipient can’t open it (unless they buy the app as well?). Definitely not worth the price.

I for one thank you for having the second tier pricing. Your software is instrumental for mapping out my health problem so doctors can see the whole journey with supporting docs easily attached. Sweet product and if I live, your product was instrumental!

No easy way to add color to events. I could not figure it out and I’m somewhat of a nerd. Also, cannot add color to titles, despite what is shown in the product demo. Actual timeline is vey simple and lacks any pop. It’s boring. Second, entering dates is super tedious. You cannot enter a date with your keyboard. You have to backspace the auto-populated year, then select a year, then select a month, then select a day, then select a time if you want it. But there is a page for each of year, month, day, time. In other words, a drop down screen appears and you select the year, then you have to tap on the next screen and the month selection screen appears and so on. Finally, when you are looking at the timeline in its entirety, I would imagine it would be hard to see by the jurors. If you zoom in, you zoom in on specific dates, but not the overall timeline. I cannot say for sure since lead trial counsel saw it and hated it so I deleted the app. For certain, not worth the price.

I appreciate you put work into building this and it is not to be “given” away. However, $399 is a lot of money, when say Microsoft Office and EVERYTHING it includes can be had for an entire family for $99. I was about to cancel my subscription when I saw you have the new “Standard Subscription” vs “business” subscription. I cannot find where the difference is described. Even on your website. Since I cannot find a description, I am going to cancel until I know what I am getting. I have found some developer comments that states the standard has basic features. Well what are those features vs the business features. I would think it would behoove you to do two things: 1) Compare your price to other subscriptions. Lots of firms have put in the same amount of time in effort for their product as you have, and have more reasonable prices. Perhaps it is a scale deal (MS Corp is huge, so can afford to charge less), but it seems you could be missing a huge market segment opportunity (Education for instance) by your pricing. 2) Please provide a chart with the difference between Standard and Business.

Make a free option, I’m not spending money for something I can do on paper.

Timeline Presenter is not just a timeline program. It’s a case organizer that is helpful to any lawyer who thinks sequentially. I am using it in auto negligence and trip and fall cases as building blocks to make a case with each block (literally) serving as a graphic hyperlink to the various proofs needed to support my points. Photos, videos, medical records (or just a critical page from one), x-rays, deposition excerpts, illustrations or any other type of record becomes immediately accessible through a hyperlink. And the record remains stored in the chronological timeframe where it belongs, ready to be accessed again instantly. Equally impressive is the stability of the app. Scrolling through your timeline, opening and closing hyperlinks and shrinking or expanding the proximity of each event, is seamless. On one case, I intentionally tried to crash the app on my iPad by loading it up with documents. Couldn’t do it. Everything stayed in place with no lockups. Even downloading items from Dropbox is without issue. Customer service is also terrific not just for tips on using the program, but also the frequent updates, added features, email notifications, recommendations for other apps that can be used efficiently with Timeline Presenter, and, the latest,…Timeline Presenter for iMAC and MacBook. This suggests that the app is only going to get better and more feature rich over time. Finally, the simplicity of the program may be its best quality. It’s linear, so it’s very easy for you to organize and see all relevant events in your case along a timeline with all related documents tucked away inside the blocks. I’m finding use for it in all my cases.

I would love an infinite timeline like this, but it should only be a one-time payment, not a subscription. Absurd. Okay, next.

What idiot is Gonna spend 200 dollars to make a timeline.
