### 5/5 — The best production app out there

*2021-07-22*

I have had this app for 4+ years and this is by far the best app for manufacturing production times.  The author is easy to get a hold of and makes changes as needed and has incorporated several of my suggestions.  Furthermore, it is easily customizable for every job and will email you a very detailed report that can be copy and pasted into excel. 

This makes my job that much easier and it will help yours too.

### 5/5 — Self Employed

*2019-10-09*

I love this app! I am a painter and I use this to complete time studies on myself in order to help maintain a consistent pace and improve accuracy of estimates/bids for future work. The one thing I wish this app would allow me to do is complete one cycle task multiple times before moving to the next task the app is set up for a 1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3 workflow my workflow looks more like 1,1,1; 2,2,2; 3,3,3. There are workarounds for this but if I had the ability to complete the same task a number of my choosing before moving to the next task that would be way awesome and possibly broaden the use to those in other fields. Thanks so much for this easy to use and very useful app!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks. The way that I worked around to this issue is using the replace element feature. Maybe we do not perform the tasks as expected and it is way to avoiding moving to the next task. Check app website. There some videos examples.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-02-25*

I am a Continuous Improvement/Quality Manager and this tool has become instrumental in time studies, line balancing and other projects.  I can do a time study more efficiently then before because there is almost no need to write anything down except opportunities you catch while observing.  I will recommend this app to anyone looking to become or improve organizational excellence.

### 5/5 — Excellent App! Recommend!

*2018-12-10*

App very helpful, makes time study really easier. Excellent tool!!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2018-11-28*

As a continuous improvement specialist for a lean manufacturer in Kentucky, this app has been a fantastic help! Engineers, managers, quality personnel in manufacturing would greatly benefit from having this app on their phone. I have been using this every week as my job requires lots of timings. I would have easily paid $5 or more for this! One idea for improvement would be to be able to save more time studies within the app or at least on the phone. Also the ability to upload studies to OneDrive or Dropbox.

### 4/5 — Good app with feature option expected.

*2018-10-18*

Thank for you app, I appreciate it.

For features update I will wish to get possibility to modify or move or add a Task of Time study already created.

To change the Color of label « Lap » to visual easily the change of cycle.

Text of Last and next Task more readable.

Thank 
JP

### 5/5 — Finalmente una app seria X il lavoro
