## What is Now Then Time Tracking Pro?

Are you spending lots of your time on low value tasks? You might find your time doesn't get spent where you think it does.

First, measure where your time goes, then reduce, or eliminate your biggest time wasting tasks. Use the knowledge acquired to improve your habits, and then see this feed through in terms of actual results.

Recording this information also makes completing work time sheets a breeze, and over time lets you see what can be done to improve your productivity.

### 3/5 — Freezing on the Chart screen

*2026-02-02*

This is a great app that I have been using for many years. Would give it 5 stars for its functionality and simplicity, however lately it has started to freeze when navigating the Chart screen. Have to shut it down a few times before it comes to life again. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

### 5/5 — Best time tracking app

*2025-12-28*

I've reviewed this one before and I'll sum up that old review by saying this app is fantastic. It's the best time tracker I know of by quite a bit. There's only one other in the running and it has an expensive subscription, and isn't even as good. 

But the reason I'm doing a new review is this app only has an iOS 13 widget. That widget works well on iOS 13-17 but it doesn't work at all on iOS 18 and newer, and that's a big deal for an app you want to quickly interact with. Hopefully the developer will add new interactive widgets for recent versions of iOS and WatchOS.

It can occasionally hang on iOS 13-18, requiring a force-close. This didn't happen on iOS 12. It's been about that long since the app was updated so I'm not holding my breath for a fix. Similarly iCloud sync stopped working years ago.

I'd really like a two-column view. I can give my categories short names to make it work on my phone. I think that's better than scrolling, and I think multi-column would be great on iPad.

Anyway, it's still the best app of its kind.

### 4/5 — Freezes with iOS 26

*2025-12-13, version 2.3.1*

Love this app and have been using it for a few years. I just got a new iPhone and am now intermittently experiencing freezes where the app is completely non responsive. I hope the developers can fix this soon! I don’t want to have to find another app. This one is great for my needs.

### 4/5 — Intuitive interface but freezes

*2025-09-20, version 2.3.1*

I love this app, it’s very useful. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because it freezes when I open the app to view my time tracking data. When I change my view (day, week, month) it freezes and doesn’t allow me to change my view again or do anything else on the app. I have to restart the app over and over. Using English version.

### 5/5 — Useful and functional

*2025-08-05*

Fell in love with the free version after just one day using it and didn't think twice about supporting the devs and getting pro. Great job right here!

### 5/5 — Simple and Useful

*2025-04-23*

I like how it’s very easy to use, since I don’t prefer apps with multiple functions. I would really love if I can change the theme color though. Red is kind of intimidating for me, so it would be more than perfect if I can choose another color or even change back to blue (from the free version). Thanks for the app anyway:)

### 4/5 — Very good but needs an Apple Watch app

*2025-03-24, version 2.3.1*

Thank you for the excellent app that is simple and convenient. Only one suggestion: please make an Apple Watch app. Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — Best time tracking app

*2025-01-22, version 2.3.1*

I've reviewed this one before and I'll just sum up that old review by saying this app is fantastic. It's the best time tracker I know of by quite a bit. There's only one other in the running and it has an expensive subscription, and isn't even as good. 

But the reason I'm doing a new review is this app only has an iOS 13 widget. The widget works well and everything, but iOS 18 won't support the old widgets, so the app won't have a widget at all anymore and that's a big deal for an app you want to quickly interact with. Hopefully the developer will add new widgets for iOS 14-18 and WatchOS 10-11. I would be happy to pay for them via IAPs.

It can occasionally hang when switching to the app on iOS 13.x and higher - including iOS 17.x - which is a bit of a shame.

### 5/5 — Still better than most

*2025-01-10*

This app has truly held up to the test of time and is still worth the investment.

Yes, it’s been a minute since this was updated. The app has been around even longer.

I would imagine the simplicity of the app has helped it stay viable. It does what it claims to do and does it well.  With severe ADHD (inattentive), I have tried most of the reasonably priced time tracking apps for the past 10 years.  Here’s why this app is still my #1 go to:

1. It’s fast: to load and to enter a new task on the fly - I can always drill down later.

2. I can add as much or as little detail as I want.

3. For me, it’s incredibly intuitive.

4. It enables “by the clock” and color-coded analysis of how you spend your time over a few days, weeks, months.

5.  It reminds you to use it at intervals you set.

6.  It still works; very stable with minimal bugs (I’m running current version of iOS 18).

You should totally skip this app if:

- you like complicated data entry
- you want constant upgrades that might break something else
- you want more flexibility with colors
- you want to use this on a device other than iPhone or iPad (like Apple Watch, Web based, 
Mac)
- you don’t like nesting categories
- you want templates
- you want updates (I’m trying to cajole the original al developers to return to the app)
- you have an eidetic memory of how you’ve spent your time.

I truly hope to see enough advancements to keep it functional as new versions of iOS are released. Adding features would be gravy.

### 4/5 — Im Großen und ganzen voll zufrieden!

*2024-10-14*

Ich finde die App super benutzerfreundlich, vor allem, weil es so leicht ist und ich nicht lange brauchte, mich irgendwie erst einzufinden und weil es auch nur einmalig 3€ kostet. Außerdem kann man sich die einzelnen Aktivitäten so strukturieren und unterordnen, wie man will. Das macht es sehr übersichtlich und praktisch!
2 Verbesserungsvorschläge hätte ich aber noch! 
1. ich würde mir eine größere Auswahl an Farben wünschen, damit es vor allem für die „Subtasks” eine weitere Spannbreite gäbe und man nicht alle „Subtasks“ in der gleichen Farbe machen müsste, damit die Farben auch noch für andere Aktivitäten reichen. Ich finde man kommt da ein wenig durcheinander, bzw. es ist etwas aufwändiger, immer zu gucken, welche von den „Subtasks“ das jetzt ist.
2. ich würde mich auch sehr darüber freuen, wenn man die App so aktualisieren könnte, dass man Aufgaben parallel eintragen kann. Also z.B. ich kann die Aufgabe „Serie schauen“ und „Abwasch erledigen“ gleichzeitig andrücken, damit ich dann trotzdem auswerten kann, wie viel ich mit was Zeit verbringe, bzw. z.B. bei Handyzeit dann auch wirklich die richtige Zeit habe und nicht denke, ist doch gar nicht so viel, obwohl ich es einfach nicht aufzeichnen kann, weil ich es parallel mit einer anderen Aufgabe mache.

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn diese beiden Kritikpunkte mit verbessert werden! Ansonsten bin ich wie gesagt sehr zufrieden mit dieser App und kann sie sehr empfehlen, wenn man etwas mehr darauf achten möchte, mit welchen Aktivitäten man seinen Tag verbringt 😊
