Time Pro: Time management

TL;DR: Not recommended at this time. +1 star (potential), +1 (email responses). -1 (no significant updates in > 1 year); -1 (no clear instructions); given above, -1 (half-baked features). I don’t learn productivity apps by trial and error. Longer: UPDATE ON 6/19/20: No change in rating or rationale. NB: They update their primary app (Money Pro) on a regular basis. I’m sure it’s me. The app has many great reviews from people who seem to truly benefit from the app. Therefore, I must be the idiot who can’t seem to get this to work. I’m also a user who reads instruction manuals to maximize the cool features so I can get the most out of a product. Arguably, this app is supposed to help me improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of my time. It does neither. I don’t mind a learning curve, but I want to know I’m using the product to its full potential once learned. I couldn’t even figure out where to really start learning. Yes, I tried “starting anywhere”. Yes, I purchased the premium version for 2 months. Yes, I sent in questions. My specific questions about how to do certain things were met with (I assume) earnest responses that they knew that was an issue and would be improving it soon. I.e. - there’s nothing we can do for you now. So how long should someone wait for an update? I decided 2 months should be enough time. Based on previous apps from this company, it seems they’ve abandoned excellent 1-time purchase apps for updated versions (with a new name) that require a subscription. They seem to have abandoned this app in favor of their more popular money management app. Paying the one-time $20 for an app not updated in over a year seems questionable. If it helps me, I’m happy to pay a one-time premium for an app with a steep learning curve. A great example of this would be OmniFocus. It’s a very powerful app but must go through detailed instructions to use to potential. OF is not cheap for 1-time purchase, very powerful, requires a steep learning curve but provides clear instructions and among the best customer support. This app seemed to be ideal in theory - it would replace several other apps and aggregate collected data for personal productivity improvement. In practice, this has not been the case. It’s useless if I can’t figure out how to tap into that power or if that part of the app hasn’t been developed. Adding to frustration: the user doesn’t necessarily know if that feature even exists unless using the premium version. Good intentions and the road to somewhere and all that. Sigh.

Everything is perfect, but the eyes are very tired watching only blue icons in all background color

Accurate

I purchased this app and was ecstatic how it captured my productivity. However, when I attempted to restore my backup, everything was deleted and nothing was restored. Completely disappointed! I contacted support and yet no response.

Not user friendly

I bought the premium version hoping I’d be able to customize the Important and Other categories’ colors but it always stays red and theres no way to change it without changing the whole theme.

Hi ur app is great, I don know how to say thanks, however I’m kind of disappointed when I noticed the last version refers to a year ago. Please keep updating this app and take care of it as you do for Money Pro. Time and Money are both valuable resources, help us to take care of both.

This is a great app. And the developer put great effort to make it possible sync through iCloud. But, unlike “money pro”, another great app made by this developer, “time pro” doesn’t have a folder on my iPhone, that can be shared easily through “Files” app. It is very important for those concern privacy, because you don’t want to let iCloud read your daily time use. 5 star app. 1 start given only for an attention. Thank you!

Excelente aplicación muy completa

I think I could really use this app. Trying before I get a subscription. How do you sync to your other devices? I never have done anything before to sync other apps. Can you delete an item?
