## What is Timestamped Field Notes?

When recording observations the last thing you want to be doing is looking down at your device, struggling with typos, entering times. 

Timestamped Field Notes allows efficient note taking; time-stamping each entry as you make it. Simply tap buttons to record the most commonly recorded events (or most used words), significantly reducing the need for typing. Fallback to the keyboard only when required.

Export your notes in chronological order by exporting to cloud storage as CSV, JSON or plain text.

Timestamped Field Notes supports timestamps to minutes or to seconds; configurable to display and/or export seconds (although they are always stored in case you change your mind.) Dates and/or Times can be exported.

Note: Initially developed for monitoring nesting Peregrine Falcons (recording audibles, location activity, territory behaviors) this application can be configured for other time-stamped note taking endeavors: 

- Behavioral Event Recording (wildlife species, human subjects; students/teachers/patients/other.)
- Personal well-being journal or daily notes log.
- Marking key time points in interviews for easier post production (e.g. video editing.)
- Interview note taking.

Timestamped Field Notes supports multiple keyword sets.

### 1/5 — Works barely

*2026-04-28*

Although it seems to work OK… Some of the more detailed features like making ‘keywords’ bold or light do not work

Plus you cannot copy and paste into keywords or the app crashes

You also can not edit the ‘event keyword’ or else the app crashes

As long as you don’t care about your those options then it works fairly OK most of the time.

The application is only worth maybe two dollars. Nothing more. Definitely not worth $9.99

### 3/5 — Unable to see all the notes easily

*2026-02-05*

I thought all the notes would just be displayed so I could easily review them.

### 1/5 — Watch Functions Buggy

*2024-08-25*

When making entries on watch, all entries are combined into a single entry unless the app is open and running on connected iphone. Therefore, watch app is essentially useless. Which was the whole reason I purchased the app. 

 If I'm paying $10, the basic functions should work. Too bad; it's an otherwise decent app. 

I would reach out to the developer, but there hasn't been an update on this in about 5 years, so 🤷‍♂️

### 3/5 — Security Perspective

*2023-06-10*

I have to do patrols hitting different doors and recording the time. I don’t know exactly what I’m doing yet. But doing test runs and not having the note load onto my iphone 12 from my ultra. Makes me question the reliability. Chances are its user error but its seems kind of confusing.

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2022-06-17*

This makes no sense and the “instructions” are meaningless. Sorry I spent the money!

### 4/5 — Add a document

*2021-02-03*

This app is meeting most of my needs so far as a daily log of administrative tasks, however the ability to add a document from a file or photo would be especially helpful in my line of work (emergency services) - although please let me know if this function does exist already - this is my first day of using and I haven’t found that facility yet!. 
I like the user interface, well presented and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-02-28*

Exactly what I want it to do. Glad someone developed this and made it free. Saved tons of time for me.

### 5/5 — More uses

*2019-12-12*

I actually use this for quick notes for client rounds work’s great

### 5/5 — Big improvements

*2019-10-25*

I’ve used this off and on as a flight Medic to time stamp procedures and medications in flight. The first couple of versions were a little buggy but seems to work great now

### 3/5 — Apple Watch Functionality Unreliable

*2019-05-09, version 4.8*

The app on the iPhone works brilliantly, exactly as you’d expect. I primarily bought this for use with the Apple Watch, though and have found this to be unreliable. If there is too long of a gap between inputs, the app on the phone will stop syncing with the Watch, so you’ll think you’re recording times on the watch, open the app and they’ll all be queued up in one note and will then record this note at whatever time you opened the app, losing the data you thought you’d been collecting. 

If the Apple Watch component was more independent, instead of effectively being a sort of remote for the iPhone app, this wouldn’t be an issue. As it stands, you have to constantly check that times you’ve recorded on your watch have made it to to the phone correctly, which defeats the point of having easy access on your wrist because you’re constantly pulling your phone out anyway.
