Login flow bugs

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

Would Love A Widget

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.

Logged out all the time

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?

Bugs and logouts

And I paid for it lol.

Full of bugs

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

An example of UX design failure

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.

Loving the new 4.0 update

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

Can’t get passed a prompt

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

App gets stuck during set up

See title

Really good app… but amazingly essential with the physical tracker

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.

Good, but could be better

I got my physical tracker almost 5 years ago and I love it. I have fallen out of the habit of using mine though because I’m not often at my desk anymore. And so I looked to the app. I love that there IS an app. But it’s missing some very key features. 1) Dark Mode Please bring dark mode to the app, there is so much white space and it’s blinding 2) Home Screen Widgets A widget would be game changing for me. The ability to see on my screen what’s tracking, or what entries I’ve made today, would be so amazing. 3) Apple Watch Integration Being able to start my tracker from my wrist would be so awesome and extremely useful. Heck, it would double the productivity use of my watch by itself! 4) Custom Colors. I find the color palette limiting and would love to be able to set my own custom colors.

Broken design

Can’t create an account through the app. There’s a button to do so on sign in, but you have to scroll.

It has a bouncy scroll (scroll down pulls you right back up) so reaching the button is impossible.

Really poorly thought out/tested.

Love!

When do we get AppleWatch support?

Good idea, terrible execution

App logs out for some reason and then gives constant errors trying to log back in… making the device unusable.

Great tool

It’s a great tool for managing your energy levels during the day and focusing on what really matters

Great way to track your time

I’ve tried many apps to track my time and this is the one that stuck. Love the balance between easy of use and its powerful features and reports. Only wish it had an Apple Watch app. If so, it would be perfect.

Admins make payments or else

I was late paying by 1 hour and had to reset my whole subscription. That means re-invite all my staff. Assign roles etc. Basically rebuild the whole company. What the heck Timeular. Suspend the account.

Looking for alternative app now

Terrible Sub

App falls well behind competitors like Toggl and Timing. No real data. Poor integrations. Constant bugs. Poor app design. Only redeeming quality is their proprietary tracker. Great idea but held back by a horrid app. Make it possible to directly connect the tracker to any service and you’ll have me buying more!

Great timer, bad subscription

I’m constantly busy at work keeping track of who to bill for what time. The fact that this subscription is 5/month isn’t terrible. But when I learned that they had a lifetime subscription but no longer carry that as an option made me second guess this program. I don’t want to buy the device and pay monthly to use it. I’d rather pay a lot more and never have to worry again.

Too complex interface.

To make manual edits e.g. existing entries you have to enter the record then tap notes, the save the note tapping Save button, then save the entry by tapping again Save button. Even worse is tagging. There’s is not shortcut, on the keypad you need to find hash button, another two more taps. This should be easier. UX is behind in my opinion.
