aTimeLogger Time Tracker App Reviews

My work requires that I keep and turn in a time sheet of how my hours are used. aTimeKeeper has been a godsend! I love the add/delete/editing feature as I still sometimes forget to touch the next activity icon. And I love how one can set up an activity to prompt you for more information. And then all can be exported in a customizable report form either in a CSV or HTML format. For me, it is simply the best time keeping application Ive tried. BTW. I am a hospice chaplain so examples of my activities are Patient Prep, Non-Patient Prep, Travel, Visit, Meeting, Documentation, Staff Support, etc.

You need to do more than set goals and track your hours to get something done, especially if youre studying something new that is outside your comfort zone. This is the only app Ive found that "gets it" aside from igoals2 which appears to have been abandoned around 2012 or so. All the other apps out there let you track your time spent on a particular task. aTimeLogger2 goes beyond that. allows you to set a goal of hours. You can either set a goal to spend less than a set time doing something (like watching TV), or set the goal to do at least X hours doing something (like reading a book). Then it tracks it as a count down. For me this is hugely motivating. For example - if youre studying a new skill, one activity may take 40 hours to complete. I can break that down to a weekly goal and make sure I find the time to put in the time. The one function I feel the app is missing is to allow you to set a number of hours, and a due date and let it calculate how many hours per week or day or month you need to put in if you want to hit it. Update - After using this a week no change in my rating. This is a competent, usable app. I am coming to depend on it as a productivity aid. Great APP! [update July 2015] Ive been using the app for several months now and continue to love it. It really helps me to understand where my "lost" time is going and to also help me understand if my plans for projects at work and at home are realistic. (e.g. Building rome took 100years instead of the 24 hrs that I assigned)

When generating a report the total time spent on the activity is not totaled correctly. The history of the activities is correct but when you look at the total time it is not added accurately.

I use it every day. Really puts into perspective where my precious time goes to. I like the customization a lot too - can create my own categories for things I do.

If you use this properly, it will change your life. Guaranteed.

The app has great potential but a few key points that are major set backs. 1. As a user the former version, which is free, is exactly the same. (Yes v.2 has I watch support and can change the color but Ill get to that.) 2. The design is primitive and for a paid app I expect ALOT more. 3. Tasks can only be timed one at a time, huge disappointment! As often when Im on route (transport) Im also reading, studying or whatever. 4. Iwatch support in the new version is absolutely useless due to the fact that glances access is not available. If people want to track their time its got to be as simple as possible to avoid interrupting the activity. This is definitely not the case here. I would certainly request a refund, it was a wasteful purchase.

UPDATE: This is what I consider a perfect app. It is efficient, easy to use, thorough and beautiful. I love the app enough to give a ***** review every time it updates. Heres an example of how smart it is: lets say you neglected to switch a task, go to the editor and change the time of an activity. When you hit + to add a new activity, it defaults the start to when you have a gap in your schedule. It is that attention to detail that makes this a splendid app. BTW: one of the 4 star reviews says theres no way to display weekly totals. There is, under reports. Id say RTFM, but there is no M. Reports is a pretty obvious tab, though. Guess some folks would rather complain than do 20 seconds of looking and be right. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Ive been using Klok on my desktop but have been looking for a simple and modern iOS app. All the others have been crummy in some way, this suits me perfectly. Not a sour note.

I use this app mainly to track my work and I love its flexibility and its logic. Easy to use, you can time you activity and also enter or edit it at a later time, which I love, since other apps make it hard to do that.

Works beautifully on the Today Notification screen so dont even have to open the phone. Ive tried a few and this is the best so far. Simple intuitive interface. Easy to edit and correct. Easy to input new tasks and create new tasks. Havent tried the report feature as yet.

Genius Developers! I had the first time logger and bought this one because it is obvious by their design that they understand life tools better than anyone else.

although a few more export options would be nice such as being able to choose the order of the entries. Right now Im using it just to record times which is sufficient.

Thank you. my opinions is correctly update. iOS9.1 beta and iPhone5 users.

Really like how its functions.

Its a pretty good app. The UI is clean, but not as useful as it could be. For example, tapping on a lot of UI elements that are not explicitly arrows (such as task blocks in calendar view) does nothing. There is no screen-edge interaction, and the color usage is not very well done. There is also unnecessary verifications that get in the way, such as a warning dialogue box about how a task is about to start every time you tap one (why is this confirmation there? What else was supposed to happen?). On the other hand, I do really like their implementation of folders and goals, and I also really like how information is organized on their Apple Watch app (minus the weird confirmations again). I gave it four stars because although it is pretty rough now, I see that with some work, it has great potential to become my primary time keeper.

The app is elaborate and infinitely convenient in tracking and even planning the most precious thing in ones life — time.

I like this app. It helps me organize my time more efficiently. Hope the developer will keep updating it and make it better.

This is so easy to use & effective when used for the proper application, Ive found that theyve updated functions either on their own or by suggestion. Whom ever is nit picking this app is either trying to get more than intended from it or just one of those... Found the reporting, etc. versatile and efficient. S C

Grouping Pause All that I was missing in the competition.

I use it every day and know it for almost 3 years. It literally teaches you how to value and cherish your time

I bought this app because of the great reviews. I cannot understand how to make it work.
