Pros
Pro Fully automatic
No start/stop timers, no forgetting to track time.
Pro Easy time analysis after the fact
once a users day is finished they can go through the history of the app to pick and choose what tasks are worth keeping for time tracking of the day. This makes it easy in the sense that there is no manual tracking needed to be done, everything is recorded and then can be filtered down to the users work tasks.
Pro No Subscription Needed
The app works completely offline - no user data leaves your computer and you don't have to pay some monthly fee.
Pro Free version
Free for up to 10 users.
Pro Simple userinterface with advanced functions
Pro Helpful support
Pro has every function you need and more, incredibly easy setup guide when you create the system
Even with the app missing, this the most userfriendly system I have tried so far. When creating the system, you follow a very simple guide, that walks you through all the system's modules and functions, and allows you to customize it all to fit your needs. Also, you can easily get the app icon on your phone, that opens up the system in your browser when you click it. It works just as good as an actual app in my opinion.
Cons
Con Only works on one device, no billing, no syncing and no mobile or web apps
Timing has a pretty limited use for a paid app as it only works on one Mac device. There is no cloud sync to get the schedules synced to another device. There is also no billing built into the app.
Con Mac only
Is only compatible with OSX, so is pretty limiting in that regard.
Con no app, still easy to use from the phone though.
The app missing is not a huge problem for me at all. They have a guide for both Android and Apple on how to get the icon on your phone's homepage, which works just as fine. The only difference is that the system opens up in your mobile browser instead. It almost looks like an app.
