### 1/5 — Login flow bugs

*2026-01-05, version 4.0.7*

Trying to log in says “This user does not exists [sic]. Please register”. Registration says “This user already exists. Please log in” (>.>)

### 4/5 — Would Love A Widget

*2025-08-18, version 4.0.7*

Recently got this as a gift! My old time tracker had a widget and i loved being able to see on my phone all the time what i was tracking, would be a very helpful feature.

### 3/5 — Logged out all the time

*2025-07-22, version 4.0.7*

The amount of time this app logs out is so dismaying to me. There’s three places that could work, in browser, desktop and phone and whenever I need to login it just doesn’t work. Can’t you please programme it so it works with saved passwords?

### 1/5 — Bugs and logouts

*2025-05-12, version 4.0.7*

And I paid for it lol.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2025-03-12*

Keeps dosconnecring from internet , forces you to pay a year upfront and logs you out once a week. Acctually wastes your time.

### 1/5 — An example of UX design failure

*2025-01-25, version 4.0.0*

Inputting entries via iOS app is way worse.  How did you manage to launch a worse experience? Previous version was simple - new version not intuitive. You click to add an entry and it doesn’t even start at the most logical point.  Will start on the 3rd or 7th minute above the hour or whatever. Then you spend 30 seconds just trying to get it to start in the right spot. Ridiculous.

### 5/5 — Loving the new 4.0 update

*2024-12-12*

Very nice to see mobile be realigned with the features and design of the desktop/web apps.

### 1/5 — Can’t get passed a prompt

*2024-12-01, version 3.6.8*

Upon initially, installing the app and running through the set up, I get stuck at the page where it encourages you to use the PC or Mac app, I see no buttons, etc. uninstalling

### 1/5 — App gets stuck during set up

*2024-01-24, version 3.6.8*

See title

### 5/5 — Really good app… but amazingly essential with the physical tracker

*2023-08-06, version 3.6.4*

The app is very nice and seamless between devices, but what makes it stand out is the physical tracker that can be purchased separately. It’s a bit expensive, the tracker, but once the muscle memory kicks in to which face of the 8 face shape has to to be up for the task you are wanting to track, all the rest is just simply transparent, no clicking no key shortcuts, nothing; all you need is to put the tracker task face up and it starts tracking. Then when you are don with the task just turn the tracker to the next, or if you have finished with it completely, put it back in its stand and all timers stop.

The app has a few quirks, but nothing that can’t be sorted with a bit of dev work. One such thing is in the tracker pairing, it makes you go to the blue tooth menu of iPhone, you don’t see the new tracker to pair, but when you return to the app then the tracker in sure enough paird. Other thing to keep in mind is the cost of the subscription required after the trial to be able to use the tool in full: a bit expensive for home use.

For the rest really good and I lov using it, and has already given me plenty of interesting insights.
