What's New in EarnTime

A little more choice, and a clearer look back. • Choose your reminders in Settings: a weekly recap, an optional daily check-in, and a low-balance alert. • Low balance is on by default at 10 minutes, counting both your daily time and reserve. Choose 5, 10 or 15 minutes, set quiet hours, or turn it off. • Reminder times and quiet hours follow your iPhone's local time zone. • Fixed crowded dates and uneven bars in monthly History charts, and improved chart scaling. • Fixed stale weekly share images and the expiry of old Watch balance snapshots. I'm still improving EarnTime. If something could work better, or there's a feature you'd like, I'd be grateful to hear it. Use Send feedback in Settings to get in touch.
