Exactly what I needed
Greed
Best of the Bunch!!
I purchased TimeLogger a month ago and I really put it through its paces. I purchased the $9.99 annual plan after a 2 days of playing with it before I unlocked it. I chose to not pay the $25 to have it permanently unlocked because I want to support it yearly.
After trying pretty much every time keeping app I found this app was sold on it. I spent ALOT of time looking at other apps.
My tips. Start simple, if you track every little thing it will overwhelm you. Track basic stuff. (Cleaning/Resting/Working) Anything that would take more than 20 min. You will slowly add tasks as you get more use to tracking your time. Learn about folders!! That helps separate tasks between locations or jobs so if you only do one task at a location you can set it so you only see tasks that are used there.
The layout is very user friendly and graphically appealing. This truly is a wonderful app.
That being said I do have some things that I feel would make it even better. In the lists of tasks I wish the start the timer was about 30% larger. It just looks really tight with the timer running.
In the Time Distribution area the round chart is were I REALLY hope for some changes. It can get very busy and crowded with the circular chart. I really would prefer a bar chart. The circle makes it very hard to distinguish numbers and titles. Right below it is a nice chart of each task Total time of each task. If that had a toggle switch between time and percent that would be great. My only work around right now is to Create Report to view it.
This app really should be an “Editors Choice”. I can see myself using this app a lot. Great app DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!
The best
The goals feature is great to for my habit tracking needs. I try and ensure i spend a certain amount of time each day on certain tasks like learning, cleaning and exercising and when you reach the time goal milestone, it feels far more rewarding than your usual daily habit trackers that just track a daily tally rather than using time as a metric.
Very helpful and well thought out
Good
Great on my phone, not so much on my iPad
Response from developer
Hi, the sync mechanism for the App Settings currently works differently from the user records. It may take longer to sync. I would like to suggest checking if the Setting on the iPad was indeed updated according to the iPhone, if not you can turn it on as well. I will eventually change to way the app syncs its settings, but until then I hope Timelogger Plus can still be useful for you. In the meantime, if you want to discuss something you can always reach me through the internal App Feedback option. Regards, Filipe Martins
Modern Features
Very good app (add little things!)
But for more use add plz some wishes:
1. Add to the goal as well Limits for tasks.
2. Do manually Sort of tasks
3. Reports: - Do sort task by spend time not alphabet
- please show each activity with time and percent(%)! It’s really important when you analize spend time.
Great Product & Outstanding Support
This leads me to believe that Filipe not only care about his products but wants to hear from his community about how to make it better.
I highly recommend Timelogger! Thank you, Filipe!
Excellent - just what I need for my consulting work
I’ve been using this for years to track my project work for various clients.
Great.
A lovely time tracking app
So, I’d like to throw in my suggestions.
I’d love to see the ability to set recurring reminders when a timer is running. I’d like to have a notification every X or so minutes without having to manually set a new notification or start the timer over. These notifications would serve multiple purposes, including reminding people when there’s a timer running (it’s easy to forget) & serve as focus reminders/distraction beaters (ie. getting a haptic tap on your watch every 10 minutes or so).
Additionally, it would be great to set notifications to start timers. For example, getting a reminder to start your work timer at 9AM or starting your bedtime routine timer at 10PM.
Otherwise, the app is well thought out for time tracking & I'm excited to see how the developer is going to continue to improve the app.
As a final note, I’d just say that adding an email address for folks that don’t use the stock Apple Mail app might help to avoid crowding reviews with feature requests. I see a lot of developers following this trend of setting their contact button as a link to the mail app which displays a “Restore Mail app” message if you don’t have it downloaded. Even just a small message with an email address would work.
My favorite time tracker and it gets better with every update.
I’ve tried a lot of different time tracking apps in my life-long attempt to get a grip on my scattered, messy schedule. This is the only one that has worked well enough to keep me coming back to it.
If you want a fully customizable app that will help you keep better track of habits, goals, work/freelance hours, etc, all in one place and in sync across all your devices - give Timelogger a try.
I love it!
Great for tracking jobs
Everything you need but not too complex
Better than most
Two features could be implemented for me: 1. Automatically discard task that has been running for very short time (a few seconds) since I sometimes press the wrong button. 2. The ability to link a “goal” to a combo of tasks from different folders (rather than limiting to one folder), since some of my goals are not project-based (e.g. tracking time taken for tasks that involve physical movements).
