ATracker PRO Time Tracker

I wanted an app where I could switch between tracking tasks with the click of a button. This is nearly that. My only issues are that 1. Integration with Apple Watch is not consistent. Sometimes what I set on the watch gets recorded in the app, sometimes it is recorded in addition to something the app is recording even though I have it set to not allow two tasks at once, sometimes it isn’t recorded at all. When this happens I have to go back and manually correct all the times. Issue 2. I wish it took even less mental power to switch between tasks. Tasks can be organized and searched by name. I don’t actually know what a possible solution is, but I know I still forget or get lazy about recording my tasks. I’ve only written about the “issues” I have because I’m giving this app 5 stars. It does what it does well and is useful for getting a better understanding of how I’m spending my time as well as tracking goals and seeing how much time I’m spending on work specifically. I’ve been using this app for several months and I’m sure as I use it more (if I don’t give up) I’ll find an even better ways to interact with it.

At least a year ago, I tried this app out, and I was “okay” with it, as I was initially restricted to the iPhone and Watch apps. Both worked well, but because there was no way to access the data on the Mac at that time, I shied away from it. However, this year’s update is much improved. The Premium subscription has proven itself to be well worth the investment! The ability to track tasks is great in its own right, with everything syncing very well through this method outside of their initial “Dropbox” method of syncing. But: What really makes this app stand out is its Report capabilities. In that area alone, you really can drill down to the amount of time spent on one task, or a multitude of tasks. The only thing I would recommend to the makers of ATracker to make it better would be to give much clearer directions to new users from the standpoint of making sure they follow certain steps to get ATracker Pro to work on all the devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad and Watch). Aside from that, I HIGHLY recommend this app.

It’s great for time keeping. I use it every work day and have for years. It looks great, especially now with dark mode, it keeps track of my time very easily, and it got search since I have a bunch of active projects. The flaws are really minor which is why I continue to use it. For example, when I start a new day, the graph showing what I have worked on today always shows the date I last used it, not the current day. So I have to swipe to the right to get the current date. Same thing with reporting, even though the tab for Today is highlighted, it shows the previous date, I have to click on a different tab and then click back on today to refresh it. Again minor and no deal breaker. What I would like to see is a summary report with notes. Now, I have to click on each individual project to get notes. EDIT: the day I posted the review the bugs were fixed in that update. Thank you. So updated my review to 5 stars
