TIMEFLIP2: Time&Task tracker 4+

Updated review

I’ve used the device and app for a while now and enjoying it. There are certain aspects of the data tracking that are not intuitive and slightly frustrating. Outside of that I’ve grown to rely on it heavily for all my different projects and would recommend it to others.

—the below was resolved. There was an error on their side which was not communicated within the app or any of their social media. I did receive an email response.

Waited (I believe) over a month to receive and now that I have it, I am unable to make an account and actually use the device.

Hello Stanoje,

We had a server issue on that day, have you tried again? Please, contact our support if you still have this problem

Frustratingly unreliable app and webpage

When this thing works, it’s great for time tracking. I turn it on in the morning, flip it all day with different tasks at work, then pause it at the end of the work day. Frequently, I come back to the app and it hasn’t tracked anything all day. Or, like today, it has tracked one activity 24 hours a day for the coming week. When that happens, I have to disconnect it from the app and reconnect it again, which wiped out all of my data, and makes me reconfigure the faces. The web page that is supposed to display everything from the app is often blank for days at a time. I’m frankly disappointed, bordering on annoyed, considering her expensive it was and how long it took to arrive.

Update: Dropping to one star. Support informed me to change the batteries. When I tell them they are reporting as almost half full, they tell me the battery percentage doesn’t report correctly. Clearly a bug or hardware problem.

Hi! A battery indicator is ever 100% correct for any device, simply because voltage measurement relation to charge left is not linear. I bet it takes your phone much less time to lose the last 20% of charge than the first 20%. We recommend installing quality alkaline batteries in the device. For sure, disconnecting from the device is a normal mode

Helps with productivity too!

As an account manager in a growing business, I’m wearing multiple hats requiring me to be available for many areas of the business. I needed a way to effectively track where I’m spending most my time so we can put some resources to appropriate areas and expand.

After my first full day of using time-flip, which is exceptionally easy to use, I was pleasantly surprised by the effect it had on productivity too! The slight pause when “deciding to flip” to another category would actually inspire me to finish the task I’m currently working first, instead of getting side-tracked for the 50th time of the day. Who knew it could be time-tracking and a productivity tool too!
