ATracker Time Tracker Reviews

by Sturgeon77

I purchased and use ATrackerTimeTracker all the time, and it's great for so many things. My only complaint is in the "REPORT" tab. For some reason "7 Days" only does 6 days instead of 7-24 hour periods. This adds several unnecessary steps of setting a date-range to see what I've logged in the last week. Is it possible to make "7 Days" simply "this day/time last week?" Also, the report seems to ignore the option/setting of when my day starts. So things I logged on Monday will show up as Monday or Tuesday depending on which part of ATrackerTimeTracker I'm using. These inconsistencies make the report function either cumbersome/less useful. It's a great app all around, wonderful even with my gripes. There are frequent updates and features being added. Anyone looking to organize or track their life should have ATrackerTimeTracker.

Easy to keep track of hours worked for different projects. Customizable colors and icons. Concurrent or consecutive tasks via timers. Able to create or edit entries quickly. Add notes to each entry. Change the display order of timers to most convenient sequence or alpha order if that is preferred. Rounding up or down by as much as +/- 30 minutes. Pick any day to start the week. Zoom in or out to show more/less entries in the calendar view. Reports easy and intuitive to understand. Pie charts, bar charts easy to print/export in CSV format (pick date/time format for export). 12/24 hour settings available. Worth the $2.99 one time price. Just wish I could hide the notes on some tabs to make it less cluttered. And distinguish total hours from start/end times a little better so easier to see.

Quite possibly the best productivity app I have ever owned. The seamless integration with my calendar and one button reporting is perfect. I am an industrial engineer and wear 8 hats... literally... my time is very important while I am at work and I need to spend it on the right things at the right times. After spending 30 min and setting up custom active tasks, I was up and running. I also have an Apple Watch and have it setup to where I do not even need to pull out my phone. I could never tell managment where my time went because daily operations were that chaotic for me. Now... I know where my time has been and can simply produce a report and show managment exactly what and where I have been. This has been an overnight success for me but it also gets better with age. I have been looking for an app like this for a long time. I am looking into the desktop version as well. I really could go in and on but I just don’t have the time haha.

I'm using ATrackerTimeTracker to guide myself and caregivers on activities to work on with my special needs daughter. I also upgraded the same day. It's great to have a more accountable routine. I have coloured activities in terms of physical and sedentary to get a easy view on the pie chart of how active she was that day. She has cerebral palsy and needs to work on getting stronger to achieve her walking goals. I keep reviewing and tweaking the day and activities to give her the most productive day for her needs. It also allows the caregiver to know exactly what needs to be done and there is a lot less down time. It's going to make a huge difference for the future of my daughter. ATrackerTimeTracker has helped so much and I'm sure we will be using it everyday!!! Well worth the money.

I have used ATrackerTimeTracker for a year and decided to unlock its pro version for $5. I’d say it’s totally worth it. The free version of ATrackerTimeTracker already does everything i need. I can set up multiple tasks, different goal for each task. The goal can be fine grained, from time per day to per week or month. I love the report feature. It helps breaking down the time spent for each task in the past 7 days, the current week or even a range. Even with the free version, ATrackerTimeTracker saves all the tasks to calendar too so you can see your past activities on your calendar too. I have tried many different time tracking apps but this is the only one that works for me cuz it’s simple.

I’ve been using the free version of ATrackerTimeTracker for years to track time for freelance work and the amount of time spent on long craft projects. It works great for those purposes. I recently started another big project and decided to upgrade to the premium subscription so I could utilize tags and goals. Both are great additions, but I wish the goals were more robust. Currently the only options for goal setting is number of occurrences or duration of time per week. I would love to set a goal for 500 hours and then watch my progress over time toward that total goal, but there’s no option to change the goal period to more than a week.

ATrackerTimeTracker does everything I want. I am able to track the time I spend doing professional development, the time I spend preparing curriculum and the time I spend actually teaching. The reason I downloaded it is that I am a computer science instructor and I wanted to know how much time I actually put in for the amount of money I get for each class. I get paid a set price per class rather than by the hour, so I wanted to figure out what my hourly rate actually ended up being. I’ve been tracking the time I spend learning a new programming language, the time I spend developing curriculum and once I am assigned a class, the time I spend actually teaching the class and grading assignments. It’s been perfect for that. I could build my own app, but why when this one does everything I need? It’s flexible, easily customizable and has never crashed.

I have been trying to kick my social media addiction for way too long, and ATrackerTimeTracker helped me do it in one day. In the past, I had tried to limit my social media time by scheduling certain times of the day that I was allowed to be on it, but that ended up being too restrictive for my personality. Now, I can limit myself to one hour each day, but have the freedom to use that hour in bits and pieces throughout the day at any time that I want. I simply tap my social media task in Atracker, and it starts my timer. I get notified at 50 minutes and then again at 60 minutes, so the only thing that’s up to me is honoring the commitment when the 60 minute notification lets me know!

UPDATE: I have been using ATrackerTimeTracker for months now, and it continues to be so helpful to me! At first, I was using it only to track my hours for different projects. I am now utilizing the charts & reports, and find seeing how my time is being spent to be very useful, too! I can also select a time period and get my hours for work reporting with ease. In general, anyone who needs to track hours for individual billing or project management will benefit from ATrackerTimeTracker!

I have been using ATrackerTimeTracker for about six weeks to track different projects at work, and it’s exactly what I need! I love being able to tap to start and stop for each project. I can go back and edit, as needed, and I now have an easy way to accurately track my time.

I’ve been using ATracker for almost two years and have yet to find it’s equal. I’m really impressed with how consistent and low-cost ATrackerTimeTracker has been since it first released.

The design and interface are effective, efficient, and flexible. It is easy to set up and manage your tasks, and the widget and watch app make it very convenient to use. The reporting options are intuitive and could meet just about any need - my favorite is the 7-day calendar view.

The development team for ATrackerTimeTracker is really great. I gave feedback on a recent update that changed something I didn’t like. They responded almost immediately and had it updated again within days. Thank you so much!

Not sure where the day goes by? Well then you are like me and will immensely benefit from this wonderful tool! There’s a bit of learning curve but if you are looking for a time tracker you probably are serious about changing yourself. I highly recommend setting up all activity categories/projects ahead of time. Don’t waste time on going down to task level even though the tracker calls it tasks. That will make it easier for you to see where you are spending time and also to put enough time on key activities/projects (goals). I think goals is part of the $5 pro version that you should be using if you are serious about change.

I have a sophisticated task manager where I enumerated all tasks I could possibly think of, but I was always not finishing them. Bought ATrackerTimeTracker to get a handle on why. Tried it because it looked simple to use and I could keep the data local. Bought it a day later because it also was very flexible, gave me history and reports that were just just what I want and best of all I could go back to adjust the data to correct entry errors! I hope the developer keeps this same, simple, functionality and would pay $ubscription to not make it much more complicated. Only complexity I could see would being able to export history and report summaries as CSV files for excel and possibly optional tags for more flexibility.

Great app, easy and intuitive. My time allocation at work is split 80% / 20% and I constantly get challenged on where my time is being spent. This and especially the category feature has made it easy to defend my actual time allocation. I’m an engineer who, at my level, never would have expected to need to track my time but I do and this has made it easy. Before I’d have to export my outlook calendar into excel configure some logic and categorize everything, very manual and every time it took me a couple of hours to communicate my work allocation. And my outlook doesn’t capture most of my work, all the non-meeting activities. But with the export feature I send that pie chart to concerned parties and I’m done. It’s great to have this at my fingertips.

I like how simple it is to start/stop and modify tasks. Some of the instructions are wanting, and I wish I understood what some of them (like the “shuffle” icon )are supposed to do...I wish I could drag and drop to a suitable order, or see all of my tasks, grouped (instead of filtering just one group at a time) if there is a way to see a daily report on just one task, I can’t find it...a graph showing how much I’m improving on spending more or less time on a certain task over a week o(or month or year) would be helpful to me. Nonetheless, overall I’m glad I purchased ATrackerTimeTracker.

Got a message from developer! There IS a way to drag and drop tasks and it is by using the cryptic “shuffle” icon! Hit shuffle, then drag and drop from the right side! I can’t improve my 5-Star rating, but for me, this is a big improvement.

Ever since I read "Deep Work" by Cal Newport I was looking for something to track my time so I could use it more wisely. Tried a few competitors but either they required too much time to update or didn't offer enough flexibility with logging tasks.

ATrackerTimeTracker solves both of these issues. It's super quick whenever I need to update it and switching between tasks is a breeze. I, like many other reviewers, got the paid version right away and did not regret it. This has already added so much value to my life and it's only been a week.

One suggestion I have is to offer a third view for analytics. So far we have bar graph and pie chart, but I would love to see a linear, hour by hour breakdown of my day. That way I know if I need to adjust my morning or evening schedule to achieve my goals. Thanks again for creating a wonderful app.

ATrackerTimeTracker is perfect for what I need - a simple, intuitive way - to capture times on several different tasks throughout the day. Got the Free version which allows you to Track 5 tasks (I believe?) - trick is it already comes loaded with 3 or 4 sample tasks but you can edit those to suit you. Shortly after I had the apo I realized there were more tasks for me to capture so I upgraded to the Full version for a few bucks, don't remember the price but it was inexpensive.
To Developers: please allow user to track multiple items at the same time. Currently, when I do one task & switch to another, the timer on the first one stops. Example: I 'clock-in' when I start work (Timer 1 started), then I click 2nd Timer - "Reading Email" to track how much of my day is sucked-dry by email. Timer 2 starts, but Timer 1 stops.

I have to admit that I downloaded ATrackerTimeTracker because when DH comes home and says "what did you do all day" it makes me consider homicide.

So instead of going to hail for murder, I downloaded a handful of apps that I could use to show him every minute of my day is busy. Out of all the apps, this one is my favorite. I got rid of all the other ones. This one lets me pick colors and icons for my activities and I can add activities as I go through the day or ex post facto. I can make things as specific or vague as I want--which is important to me.

More than showing DH that I don't eat fritos and watch soaps all day, it is really helping me analyze and see where I could be more effective in time management. You can even set alarms to remind you to do things. Although this is not a feature I currently use, I appreciate that it is there in case I decide to use it later.

Once I learned how to use ATrackerTimeTracker , I realized it’s awesome. I read other reviews, and it’s clear that the developer has continued to improve ATrackerTimeTracker through the years. I can already see how helpful it will be in improving my productivity. I’ve tried multiple apps and couldn’t find an app that has everything I need. ATrackerTimeTracker has covered what I need. It’s simple to use, I can set different times for each task, add notes, stop and start the task one or more times, easily copy tasks to other days, report on my progress, set alerts, put tasks in categories and sort the tasks. I arrange the tasks from my highest priority to my lowest priority or according to what I want to complete first. I track absolutely everything related to work or my personal life. It helps me to maintain balance in my life. I find the pro version to be very helpful and useful.

It requires a slight learning curve but once you know how to use it, it’s extraordinarily powerful. I once saw a show between two very successful and accomplished people. They thought they had incredibly productive lives until they started tracking their time carefully and minutely. It was then they realized how much time was lost to unproductive endeavors. Social media, anyone?

My life has vastly improved using ATrackerTimeTracker. I am more laser focused and aware of how my time is spent and can now warn myself when I see myself beginning to waste time.

What you will find is how much time in a day you actually do have to accomplish your goals and those outside excuses you used before are really inside excuses. And now what are you going to do when you look at the mirror and realize it’s not your job, the kids, and your commute that are keeping you from achieving your goals, whatever they may be.

I needed something to help keep track of everything I did throughout the day to prove that I need another full-time nurse in my office. ATrackerTimeTracker is exactly what I was looking for. It’s incredibly easy to set up and use. It allows you to enter your information quickly and easily with just a touch of a button/category. I have aproximately 10 categories that I needed to keep track of (emails, nursing visits, travel, collaboration, phone calls, pharmacy, patient charting, etc. etc.) so I had to update from the free version because it only allowed five categories. It cost just pennies and worth every cent! The pie chart is so helpful. I can’t wait to take this information to my supervisors. They won’t be able to argue with facts! Thank you! Thank you for such a wonderful app!!!!

I was wondering where my time was going. I had a feeling that I didn’t have enough time in one day to do all of my things but couldn’t pinpoint what I was doing wrong with my time. After tracking the majority of my activities throughout the day using ATrackerTimeTracker, I am now able to track how much time I spend doing all these little mondaine things that we all need to do in our regular lives to make it run smoothly. Now using the report from ATrackerTimeTracker I can correct my behavior in spending more time in tasks that are important and less time in the ones that are not getting me anywhere.

(Update)

It’s my most used app on my phone. I use the history tab and set it next to my work for motivation. It keeps me focused to put in more work. It made me more productive than just clocking in and out of tasks when I first used ATrackerTimeTracker . I lean on it so much that I paid the subscription every penny as it saves me lots time when getting things done.

I am currently working on my time management skills and ATrackerTimeTracker helps me visualize my current levels and better analyze my pitfalls and sucesses.

ATrack provides me with the objective feedback necessary to develop my skills. The graphs, charts and calendar sync make it easier to see my progress. It also has a beautiful interface with customizable icons and themes.

A live sync entries across devices would make ATrackerTimeTracker better. Neverheless, it's still worth every penny.

Note: ATrackerTimeTracker mostly helps people who are already somewhat organized with their time, but it provides an easier display for the visual learner. ATrackerTimeTracker achieves nothing by itself, so it's pretty much a "you get what you give" kind of app.

Nice time tracking app. Very light and straightforward: you press a button it starts a timer, you press a different button it starts a different timer. It doesn’t have many more features, but I like that because it lets me track my time the way I want to, rather than using some prescribed technique (pomodoro or whatever).

It’s data presentation is similarly straightforward, pie chart and list of totals, but you can export to excel (or anything that takes .csv) for more advanced data manipulation. I wish you could customize the csv files a little more, as it is I have to eliminate and rearrange some rows by hand before doing any analysis... but it’s nothing that takes more than a minute.

I opted to pay for the full version pretty quickly because as great as ATrackerTimeTracker is, having it on my computer is better.

I use this for work and love the accountability it gives me. I can see how much time I’m spending on getting water, restroom, talking to co-workers, and on individual accounts. I can easily view the time spent over different periods of time, in different categories such as personal or accounts. Editing mistakes in timekeeping is incredibly easy. The “last” time feature is very helpful.

It’s not the shiniest or most polished, I would guess, but the degree to which this just does what I’d expect and gives me the options I want is truly fantastic.

ATrackerTimeTracker has taken my time management to the next level and by that I mean there was none now it’s all I think about I used to browse Snapchat maybe 6 or 7 times a day without even a second thought now I scroll towards it and right before I press it the thought comes “yea you go ahead and open that but you better start the tracker” then I’m thinking no i don’t want that on there and just like that what would’ve been the first time on Snapchat in almost 2 days becomes time I can use to get done what I need to do that I can get to bed early. I could say so much more but I will leave it at this.

ATrackerTimeTracker is therapeutic, innovative and whatever else you want it to be. I’d highly recommend it!!!

Amazing app to track your time. Easy to create categories and tasks. You can group task into a category. Syncs up with Apple Watch that makes easy to turn on or off a task. ATracker can synch up with your calendar and can easily associate or convert calendar task to a task on ATrackerTimeTracker . One can set up time based alert on a specific task if it is going over time. Great reporting features that shows time spent on a specific categories and task. One can view activity report by day, week, month and custom date range. You can also back up with cloud and export your activities into an CSV. I suggest to explore ATrackerTimeTracker and get used the features and buttons then it’s easily peasy.
