Timeular: Time Tracking

This app is pretty nice on the phone. I like the simplicity of it and the visualizations are pretty nice as well. My main issue is that I try to not have my phone out very often during the day and work on my iPad. The iPhone app can run on the iPad but it looks terrible and only works in portrait mode, which is garbage if you use a keyboard. Not using it any more. If they ever come out with an iPad version I will come back to it. Worth noting, this may not be as much of a thing if I was using the device that goes with it, since I could stash my phone and it would do the recording. I’m just not willing to pay that kind of money for something that doesn’t work the way I want it too. I should be able to peak at the data on my iPad mid way through my day. I much prefer working with my iPad than my phone. With an iPad app (not just a blown up version of the iPhone app) I would easily give this thing a 4.

This concept is awesome and I am hoping this gets better at staying connected because I am hoping to track distractions better... other than the distraction of trying to keep this device connected. In the meantime, I’ll try tracking in the app on my computer and iPhone. I would love if this also had a watch version of the app. That way I could switch topics while away from my desk without having to use my phone.

I love how the app allows you to manage eight tasks and puts it in an easy to navigate chart (small one minute tasks are chunked instead of scaled by time so you can distinguish little tasks too). However, it’s a dealbreaker that the UI constantly gives errors. When I push the STOP button once, the screen keeps counting on the task. Then when I push it again, it goes to the proper screen, but with an error pop up message saying that there was nothing to stop! If you do this throughout the day on the app, it starts to wear down the experience. The workaround is to wait a few extra seconds, but I want the app to be as ubiquitous as the block timer. Editing a task also suffers. When I scroll to a specific start/end time and then push OK, it actually locks in the time I had BEFORE I scrolled to my desired time. A workaround is, again, to wait a few seconds to “lock” in the correct time. I would gladly return to this time tracking app if they can fix the issue above.

I’m glad I did not purchase the device in the 1.0 days. This app is very functional and very useful and rather attractive. I tried before I bought and ... well I bought! Requests: * Don’t put the undo button right under where the save button is on an iPhone in vertical orientation. I have accidentally pressed there many times after trying to save something. Very frustrating. * Force-touch widget on app icon to see what’s active. * Specify which device should be Bluetooth host and whether it’s connected (I know BLE doesn’t really connect, but CAN it connect) Bugs: * My MacBook Pro and iPhone X to be next to each other, and it’s unclear which device will handle the Bluetooth. Sometimes they switch off, it seems. I have missed a few switches, possibly because of this, where one device wasn’t available.

Thought tracking cube wasn’t working. In fact the app just has to remain open in order to register a change in tasks. This is somewhat annoying as I habitually close all open apps. That being said, I expect this is a hardware limitation on how Bluetooth connections interact with apps. Beyond that though, the app still doesn’t always recognize when the cube is flipped.
