User reviews

Could be Better

The app was good to keep up with tracking my time but several times I found myself have trouble with the app due to it not tracking my time and location.

Surfboard.

The app works well. The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t convert your time from minutes into hours sometimes. It makes converting difficult.

Great tool for Students and Teachers!

This app is a great way to track a student’s hours honestly. The app is very easy to navigate through and helps both students and teachers keep on top of their time. One suggestion I would make is to have a notification pop up for when the time starts and stops, so you do not have to click the app to make sure it’s recording your time.

Awesome!

This app was super helpful in tracking my hours. I’m the kind of person who tends to forget to do things like that, so I found this to be a great tool. It would definitely be nice if the app calculated the total hours, as another commenter said. However, overall, it’s really helpful!

Fantastic!!

10/10 will try again !!!
