### 5/5 — Simple and Free

*2025-05-27*

We use this to track towards our 1000 hours outside goal yearly and we love that it’s free and easy!

### 5/5 — Really useful app!

*2023-10-15, version 1.1.9*

Using this app to keep track of my music practice. Really helpful. Only thing I would love is to know if I could access/restore my notes if i were to lose my device, its not clear if thats the case.

### 5/5 — F %!$ng Perfect

*2023-08-13*

Thank you for your hard honest work and shared something that does what it needs to do. The picture thing was a cool +
Keep it minimal and I will keep sending coffee

### 1/5 — Timer randomly stops for no reason

*2023-05-30*

Using an iphone XR, the timer randomly stops for no reason. I have to go in and check to see it's running. Very frustrating. Otherwise, I love it. It has nice rings for the different hours, and it's simple to use. Fix that one issue, and it's golden.

### 3/5 — Good layout, bad clock

*2023-05-22*

I like the simplicity of design on this app, as well as the ability to toggle between manual input and timer mode. It has only one flaw: the timer fails to work frequently. That’s kind of an important feature! I’ll open the app and see that it’s stopped for no reason and then I have to go back a screen or two and stop it multiple times. Sometimes it will say I’ve had it on for more than 24 hours when I stopped it just a few minutes ago.
Fix the timer and you have a winner.

### 3/5 — Decent app but could be a bit better

*2023-03-31*

I like the simplicity and features of this app. Pretty easy to use. I like the different colored rings for each hour of an activity in a day. I can’t figure out how to reorder my list of goals, so unless I’m missing something, that doesn’t seem to be an option? Not sure why because that’s a pretty simple and useful thing. I also wish there were more/better emoji options for labeling the goals. Need more outdoor/activity related ones, and just better options in general. I wish I could just pick any emoji from the Apple keyboard.

### 1/5 — Used To Work Great

*2023-03-25*

Used to work great. Now it’ll put up a false screen indicating no timer was started—until you hit the back button, then it reveals your ACTIVE timer. Then I hit STOP and save it and continues as if I didn’t stop and so I’m forced to stop and save again and when I look the history of that day it is more than I saved originally. Makes zero sense. Would like to go back to version before this one, please.

### 4/5 — Overall a great tool

*2023-01-10*

I’m using this to track the amount of time my kids spend outside this year. Our goal is 500 hours outside. The only thing I would add is a way to track multiple sessions in one day.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t open

*2023-01-06, version 1.1.9*

Unfortunately the app wouldn’t load for me. It stayed on a white screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Update Times

*2023-01-02*

It doesn’t update the times so it’s useless for tracking

**Developer response:** Can you please provide more information on the issue? Thanks!
To track time with timer, you can simply click the timer button which will auto track your times.
