It just didn’t work…

I can’t even log in with the same credentials I use on desktop. The older version of app is use-able but doesn’t track phone usage at all (it tracks by sending picking up)… at this rate I’m better off using iOS built-in screen time tracker…

App is just dis functional

I can’t access any info about my stats or anything. I think the developers do not care about RescueTime . The desktop version is great don’t get me wrong, just app is a pile of trash.

Hopefully they fix it, that’s why i’m leaving a 1star

Requires a subscription

Went through the process of signing up only to find it requires a subscription to even use it. What's the Philippines nt when it can't track usage on mobile devices? Paying just for a report / dashboard seems silly.

You cannot use this app without paying

After you sign up for an account all you can see are two options for payment. There is no free version, it’s a scam. Do not download this.

Poor design lacking features

why can't I record an off-line activity that's already completed? Instead all I can do is set up a focus time which I don't want to do. There is some sort of bug with the seconds setting for a focus time that keeps causing the counter to reset.

Have to enter “free trial” mode

Nobody does this. It’s too risky to give an app that idk if I even like my credit card info where if I forget about it it’s going to charge me $70. No wonder RescueTime is failing, no one’s even gonna try it if you create these barriers to the consumer.

Come on Rescue time

You actually have a fantastic shot at making the company ultra relevant again with the ability to use app focus time and yet there's not even a way to control which apps are blocked with Screen Time, this is an extremely mediocre app

Not useful

RescueTime is poorly implemented and doesn’t really cooperate with the desktop version; think about it, without the desktop version, why do I want to use RescueTime?

Worst app ever!

I pay for the desktop version and just wanted a quick way to check in to see my dashboard. RescueTime has no connectivity with the actual desktop version so it’s completely useless.

Good transition but needs improvement

I like that this app is transitioning to an assistant-based approach, but I think they could do it without abandoning the dashboard and metrics—people need both! I also think they could incorporate something similar to their original dashboard into the iPad app, which would make it a lot more useful than the current version which is just a copy of the iPhone app that doesn’t work well on the bigger screen.

A complete solution for focus tracking and habit building

I’ve been a this app user for years and I’ve come to rely on it to keep me focused while working at my computer. Excited to be able to take that focus with me on my phone!

The app finally works on IOS properly

Apple added the permissions for reading and controlling screen time and now RescueTime works on iPhones, hallelujah

Works

Works well, helps me focus, worth price.
