Work logs was built to help workers generate logs to keep tabs on what was accomplished. It uses a simple tab interface, keeps track of the number of workers at a site, and the time in and out. And when the log is saved, it will attempt to generate the current weather information based on the phones location. When the day is over, you can email the logs to anyone for safe keeping and clear them out to keep your data footprint on the phone small. All of this information is stored locally, meaning that no data is stored by us on a server.
