### "Great assistance"

October 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

I work on projects on an hourly bases, this tool has more than paid for itself. All of those 10 min calls are now captured (were before they were lost time). Away from the device, no problem, I have the app on my phone and when I get back to the office it is all nicely sync'd.

Cons

Originally I wish it had more projects, but after getting used to the flow it ended to not being a con. The only problem I have is me, at the end of the day I'm in a rush to get out of the office and I forget to cradle the device.

### "Wonderful tool for those needing to track time in detail"

March 11, 2020

5.0

As a government contracting company, it is critical we track our time in detail. This app allows our busy engineers and technicians to track their activities quickly and painlessly.

Pros

The ease of use, and now, the team tracking function, Spaces!

Cons

The Bluetooth connection has always been a bit clunky. The initial connection for some in the office was instantaneous, but for others, it took multiple attempts to get the tracker to connect. This does seem to be better however with the newer trackers.

Reason for choosing EARLY

TimeFlip looked more complex than we needed and was a hire price.

### "Timeular - Excellent for Consultants"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Tracking my time has been the hardest thing to do as a consultant. Being able to differentiate between my clients by simply adding an @ or the type of work I am doing (Meeting vs Model Building , for example) has been very helpful. I can accurately bill my clients and see where my time is going! My bosses love it because they know I'm 100% accurate in my bill time and they can confidently justify if I have high billing periods.

Pros

I can customize my buckets of time and really see where my time is being spent at work!

Cons

I wish the ZEI had more sides maybe; not sure how helpful that would be.

### "Mixed Feelings"

March 5, 2019

3.0

I wanted to track time on various clients to make sure I was delivering as promised and also see when I needed to increase my retainer. It's been very helpful in that regard.

Pros

The interface is excellent. It's easy to use, flexible, and I can log and retrieve all of the data I want and need.

Cons

Of the things that you can actually control, the fact that it's super easy to overwrite your entire days worth of time logging is probably the thing I like least. I wish there was a way to recover from that type of user error. It would be helpful, at the very least, if Timeular issued a warning before over-writing prior entries. It would be even better if you could also revert to prior entries. I've started manually logging time without the device because I don't always notice when it's not connected due to battery life, internet connection, or other issues of that nature, and then I think I'm logging when I'm not.

### "Perfect for time recording"

October 5, 2018

5.0

Time tracking is much faster and more accurate as the effort is minimal.

Pros

Easy to use. The program interface very tidy and modern, but with enough functionality. The new weekly summary is very great and offers a good overview.

Cons

Entries on the iPhone have had a noticeable delay since the last update, and that slows down the entire recording process enormously! I miss label templates to download for the "cube", as I see the labeling with the pen as a stopgap. My projects change more often, but I like it tidier :-) I'm more technical than creative guy ...

### "Thing Everyone talks about"

October 2, 2018

5.0

Been using for a few months, it's always been a pleasure. I can now easily track my x number of projects and sub project with it. My customer ask me to create a detailed time sheet every week. This splendid device makes it possible without any brain power. Effortless, stylish, dumbproof. Exactly what I needed.

Pros

\-People are asking what it is constantly and find it ingenious -Easy to set and use -Does exactly what it should be without any fuss

Cons

\-From time to time, the desync happens -Doesn't stop all the time when put on it's stand

### "Time Tracking that Makes Sense"

October 2, 2018

5.0

I am able to determine how much time I spend on various projects, which has helped inform conversations I have with my boss about time and resources. This has been immensely helpful since one part of my job was considered small. After tracking with Timeular, I was able to show my boss that I was spending between 40 and 65 percent of my time on that project, instead of the 5 to 10 percent they thought I was spending.

Pros

Available across multiple platforms (I use Android and Windows) so that I can use it at work and when I'm away from my desk. Simple, streamlined, and easy to use user interface Analytics tell you exactly how long you spend on certain items

Cons

The optional Zei is expensive - otherwise I would probably use one to track my tasks. That's really the only con I've found.

### "Its replaced how I track my work hours"

March 6, 2019

5.0

I work for several different companies and tracking hours across all of them used to be a headache. Timeular has replaced all of my old tracking systems (which used to involve manual spreadsheets), the cube thing on the desktop is also fun to use :)

Pros

It works perfectly on Mac and iPhone, the software is light (doesn't take up a lot of space & isn't a resource hog), and it connects to Toggl which is where I track my main hours.

Cons

It used to get confused if you have the application open on your desktop and iPhone at the same time but now that's fixed.

### "Simplified tracking"

March 5, 2019

4.0

Time cards are simplified, and I have data on where my time is going and could be better utilized or delegated. It also makes me think twice about multitasking or switching between tasks too much. I have coworkers and employees that are interested in Timeular, but the cost is prohibitive.

Pros

I like the automatic tracking changes, as well as the ability to make notes on time usage. It makes timecards simple as well as seeing where my time goes.

Cons

I often have difficulty with the connection between my laptop and the cube, so tracking is sometimes inaccurate.

### "Time tracker"

March 14, 2019

4.0

I use the data collected to fill out my time-sheet very easily, which saves me loads of time and ensures that the info is correct.

Pros

The flexibility to add lots of my own categories. Also, the summary info they provide each week which tells me where I've spent most of my logged time.

Cons

Sometimes the connectivity to my laptop is an issue, but that may be user error ;)

### "Great Product & Software"

October 16, 2018

5.0

course the little nifty desk Zei device is fabulous – it adds a bit of interest to my working day I find! I have to say, I absolutely love it. It’s just fantastic – the way I can see my day at a glance, what I’ve been working on, with the ability to add more entries and run data summaries and such like is excellent. And of course the little nifty desk Zei device is fabulous – it adds a bit of interest to my working day I find! I have to say too – the support function on the desktop app is incredible – no more having to go into a separate email or website to find contact details and so on, I can just message straight away from the one place, and the response time is super fast. It’s the small things like that, that make such a difference – it’s a fantastic concept and product.

Pros

The at a glance view of my day and what I've worked on when, the various reporting capabilities and filters, and the Zei desk device. The support from the Helpdesk team is incredible - almost immediate response straight away from the desktop app

Cons

Taking the battery in and out is very footery, my battery lasted a matter of a couple of weeks before needing replacing which wasn't ideal but is running perfectly now.

### "Easy to use"

October 4, 2018

4.0

I have to track everything I do and give a summary monthly for my job. This makes it almost seamless. I need to add more notes and it will be.

Pros

Easy to use Low in price Weekly timesheets and reports

Cons

When you forget to sign out on your laptop and then use your phone to stop the time, it doesn't always work. Then the next morning it'll say you've been doing a task for 16 hours as opposed to the 2.5 hours or whatever the real time was. It's easy to correct, just inconvenient.

### "I love how easy it is to review"

January 25, 2023

5.0

Pros

I can start and stop tracking with a keyboard shortcut

Cons

It's expensive, I also wish that there were shortcuts to reduce my total time that I'm currently tracking by a minute

### "The best time tracking solution I've tried"

October 4, 2018

5.0

Would recommend to anyone who wants to get insights into how they spend their day.

Pros

In my job, I switch a lot between tasks (emails, meetings, etc.) and sometimes I would have no idea how I had spent my time or whether or not I had focused on the right things during the week. Since I’ve been using Timeular, I can hold myself accountable to how I direct my time and attention and I feel like I’m getting a lot more done every week. Both the device and software are super easy to use. I like the clean interface and found it very reliable when tracking. I had no connectivity issues to date.

Cons

I wish there was a little bag or something that I can use when taking the device with me.

### "Now I know I suck at estimating time."

October 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

So much more accurate than my guesses, so easy to switch between jobs. Seemed pricey but paid for itself quickly in more accurate invoices.

Cons

A little tricky to navigate at first. While the 8 jobs at 1 time are enough, it can get a little confusing closing them out then restarting for later jobs for the same client. Much better for making edits now that 12 hour time and US date formats are available, but it reverts on restart.

### "Actually SEE where you’re coming vesting your time every day!"

October 5, 2018

4.0

I’m using the device to calculate how much time each day I’m spending on intentional. I theme every single day so that is how I use the device. I’m also using it with coaching clients as well, which is kind of cool.

Pros

I like that I can track different categories of tasks and allows me to reflect on where my time is going. It measures my efforts on the surface so that I can manage my efforts at a deeper level.

Cons

Honestly, there’s not much that I don’t like. Perhaps an indication of how the scoring system works would be a nice addition to the mix.

### "Fantastic idea!"

October 2, 2018

4.0

My Zei has improved my time management skills by allowing me to look back and see where I'm wasting time and where I need to focus my efforts. Having the Zei keep a record of all of this and only needing me to turn it over has been a lifesaver and a timesaver, no more faffing with spreadsheets!

Pros

Very intuitive and easy to use. Nothing complicated about using the software to set up my Zei!

Cons

Not many features, would be nice to be able to view more statistics about time spent on each task.

March 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

Simple yet powerful - the tagging & colour coded categorisation makes this software a joy to use. Together with my ZEI it's an amazing way to keep track of my working ours as a self-employed individual who works from home.

Cons

Anything I didn't like has been improved with more recent software updates!

### "Interesting and fun way to track time"

October 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the frictionless approach to tracking time with an easy-to-use device you just flip on your desk to track time. As an added bonus, it aides in focus, as you are more conscious when you're switching tasks.

Cons

The setup was a little difficult, and required a system restart. It's also sometimes a little finnicky to determine whether it pairs with the phone or the computer (or in one case, both!)

### "With Timeular, Time really is Money"

September 28, 2019

5.0

Scheduling my events and activities can be easily arranged with a few clicks. An amazing time management tool!

Pros

This tool provides many features that help me manage my time and scheduling so that I become more productive and pay more attention to time. Apart from that this tool is cheap for extraordinary tools

Cons

To be honest I haven't found any shortcomings of this tool, its features are very helpful. What a really nice job!

### "I couldn't be without Timular and the ZEI. A really innovative solution!"

October 5, 2018

5.0

I am using timular to analyze my billable and non-billable tasks, and work out areas of inefficiency, where additional investment in automation/equipment can save me time and money. So far its been an invaluable tool! Great job guys. Keep it up!

Pros

\- How easy it has been to use, and identify areas of inefficiency in my working day. - Clear and easy to use graphs and charts

Cons

The zei doesnt always automatically connect after my computer has been asleep

### "Easy to Use, Great for Insights"

October 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really like the integration with the physical cube (polyhedron?) that sits on my desk. If I had to rely on going into the software alone to change my status, I don’t think I could be nearly as accurate. I can change status without even having to unlock my computer!

Cons

The Bluetooth integration can sometimes be finicky requiring that I unplug the USB dongle and reseat it to get it to work.

### "Game Changer"

October 2, 2018

5.0

Billing clients has been so much easier and has seen an uptick in revenue as we are able to accurately allocate hours to jobs.

Pros

\- Makes time keeping a natural part of your workflow - makes it incredibly easy for billing clients as the time breakdown is very intuitive - The interface is easy to use and new features and fixes keep coming out

Cons

Can’t really think of any cons… I just wish I had found this sooner:)
