Good but stagnant
They never update it or Improve it
Very well-designed app
The interface is really well though out. It is extremely convenient to log time in the app and perform any tasks like note taking when tracking time. The analytics shown are useful, and it’s great for helping you predict how you should be spending the day. It has dramatically changed and improved my ability to spend time during the day on things that matter and are important to me. I appreciate the option of a lifetime subscription and regular app updates that continue to enhance the application while remaining committed to the app’s original vision.

Nearly Perfect, But...
I decided to leverage this app to track time invested in completing a major build-out of a campus network. While I enjoy the clean presentation and several features, such as the running clock details presented in the widget or using either my watch, iPad, or iPhone to launch a timer, I have identified a couple key shortfalls.
Please add the ability to export the details contained within the Analysis and History tabs into a PDF. There is value in being able to present this information to interested parties and may even add to increased awareness of this gem of an app.
Also, when selecting to archive a project, please provide an option to identify the final status of a project. In the interest of accurate record keeping, being able to denote a project as complete, abandoned, and/or withdrawn when archived is an added value.
With these additions coupled with a commitment of continual development, I will undoubtedly commit to adding the missing star and being a long-term annual subscriber.
in closing: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Nightmare
I'm using this to track my hours for clients- It has a simple interface to add projects and tag clients, choose different colors, etc.
One of the most important features caused me a ton of headache (I have purchased the full year). Each day allows you to enter notes or things I worked on for each client/project. I use those when I invoice my client to show my progress, etc. After adding a note on any given day the notes jump around, frequently disappear, show up on the next day- copy themselves from different days or projects, it's a total mess.
I spent a ton of time putting notes in all month and tracking my work- then I start noticing there are no notes for some of the days- that's odd? Where did they go? Anyway, it took checking emails & timestamps on files I worked on to input the info. If I could give this negative stars I would. Instead of saving me time it cost me a ton of it.
I use the app on a 2018 iPad Pro 11'. I WOULD STEER CLEAR OF THIS TRAIN WRECK.

Response from developer
I’m so sorry to hear about the problems you’re having with Manifest. If you’re up for it, please get in touch at feedback@tapandtonic.net. In addition to tracking down a fix for this problem, I’m hopeful that I can help recover any notes data that you’re missing. Although unfortunately I’m unable to issue refunds directly, I can point you in the right direction to request one via the App Store.
I’m not sure
it would’ve been great without the fact that it’s for money. I mean don’t get me wrong i understand they need to make money but you know.
Best productivity app I own
As an attorney, I’ve tried several time keeping apps, this way is BY FAR the best. Well worth the yearly subscription. Don’t hesitate, it’s really that good. The new update today made it look even better. I can’t say enough about this app.
Good premium, awesome integration
Only complaint is that the watchOS app doesn't work that well, but that's an OS issue, not a developer issue. Integration between iOS devices is so smooth, lightning fast syncing, and intutive notes and timeline views. Love the pie chart feature with multiple projects! This really helped me to see how I budget my time.

Enjoy the frequent updates
I’m happy with the subscription plan. I want this app to survive for years to come!
Seamlessly keep track of your goals 👌🏾
This app is perfect, just couldn’t find a button to delete a goal last time I checked.
Watch app is SO BAD
I mean, the watch and app have both been out for 4 years. You’d think they’d have it figure out by now. Watch app is buggy, exists on a huge lag, and constantly is just plain unresponsive when you tap start/stop. That’s all the watch app does...let you select a timer and start/stop. Such a shockingly low amount of functionality to still not work...it’s weird.

I’m so sorry you’ve had a bad experience with the watch app. Significant updates to the watch app are definitely in my development plan, so I hope that will improve things in the future. If there are particular features you’d like to see, I’d love to hear about them! You can send feature requests to feedback@tapandtonic.net or use the Send Feedback button in Manifest’s settings screen.
Very nice, but lacks granularity I need
This is perfect for people looking for a simple time tracking solution. I just wish it had tagging capabilities, not just notes.
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback! It's always nice to hear what kinds of features would make Manifest more useful. Tags are definitely in the plan for a future update. I hope you'll consider trying Manifest again once those are in place!
Nice workflow analysis app
This looks great on my iPad, and the subscription fee is very modest. I’ve seen similar apps that are 3x as expensive. I hate seeing all the selfish complaints in other comment-reviews as anyone who has paid attention knows that the subscription model is the best way to survive in the app world where a short initial burst of app sales is often followed by a void with very little income. Think of it as giving to an artist you like as a way to support their endeavors, and value you them as someone you would like to have continued success. If you don’t support these hard-working and very creative people, they will give up and be forced to do something else.
Anyway, this looks like a fantastic app: good looks, easy to use, and can improve your life at least $25 worth per year!

Overpriced
Very well designed app, but lost me at the subscription model. I can't justify putting down $25 once, let alone every year for a timer app with a couple extra features (some of which I'll never use).
Feels forced, given that you are limited to 2 concurrent projects in the free version. There are other apps I'd rather spend my money on.

Ugh. Monthly subscription?
Cmon. Flat fee. Why on earth is a monthly fee needed for a small app that can easily handle more than the two projects given for free? This reeks of a money grab from an otherwise nicely designed app. It’s just not worth 2.99 monthly or 25 annually. I have purchased much more powerful and feature-laden apps for much less and for a flat fee. Lose it or lose me and probably a number of other folks you’re losing revenue on from this model. :P

I’m sorry that Manifest’s Pro features don’t feel like a good value. For what it’s worth, part of the goal behind the subscription pricing is to fund ongoing development of the app. I want to be able to keep adding new features and supporting existing ones, and ongoing revenue makes it a lot easier to do that. Are there particular features that would make it more compelling? I’m always looking for suggestions that would improve the app!
Upgrade is stupid.
Wanted to try this but staring at a Upgrade to Pro message is annoying. Not ever going to pay for Pro so the message takes away from feeling like you have an app that is worth it when there is plenty of free options out there.
Response from developer
This is a great point. I can totally understand how the message could be annoying, and I’m considering ways to make it less intrusive or dismissible in a future update. Thanks so much for trying Manifest!
Perfect
Easy, visual, actually fun.
Excellent
Create your system of excellence, this app helps to manage and stay on tasks. I'm impressed.
Perfect for digital nomads
Super simple yet fully featured way for me to keep track of my ongoing consulting projects on-the-go wherever I am in the world.
Great app!
Great app. :)
Wonderful App!
Such an intuitive way to track my time working on projects.
