Lots of promise, still lots of room for improvement.
First of all, the overall concept for this app is incredible; automatic time sorting… genius.
I have tried to return to this app repeatedly as I think it shows great promise, but I continue to find the littlest of quirks the most frustrating.
So I try to give the app a shot every time there’s an update… I’ve been using it since it launched.
However, it should be important to note that users still can’t sort time spent in an application listed as “Between x time and y time…” - this can be, depending on which apps you use, A LOT of the logged time. What this means for potential users is they can’t sort these time blocks into projects, even if they know exactly how that time was spent! You can even see a “Between …” time example in the dev’s above screenshot.
This holds true for app like Blender, Slack, Mail and so many more. The app would take on a whole new level of usability if users could manually define time that the app can’t automatically sort. It’s fine that it can’t make the connection itself, but it would be so much more powerful if at least let me sort it into the appropriate category without commiting future un-sortable time to the same category. Also, I believe it’s a UI mis-step when you can drag most “time block" elements (and are encouraged to do so) but not others. The app provides no UI feedback in the later case.
Finaly, and most frustratingly, the above issue is compounded by the dreaded “Untitled” issue - that is, for those who can work quickly enough, documents might stay untitled for some time before they’re named/saved and then become impossible to sort on their own, without the above issue.
This app has so much promise, but these most glaring issues haven’t been tackled for a couple of years now. -2 stars, please fix! (I’d actually give it only 1 star for me, but there are many users who’s workflow would mean this app is perfect and should be considered.)
Also, this app was about $10 when I bought it. I don’t believe it’s gained enough features to be over 3x the price - but again YMMV. Try the demo availble on the app developer’s website.
