Trice - work time tracker app

★★★★★ Although it is not apparent at first opening Trice, it is well-designed. It is very logically organized into the hierarchy of Client > Project > Task. Once you create a client, you can enter multiple projects for each client. At the Project level you can enter multiple tasks. Since in my trade each project has about the same sequence of steps I create a series of tasks in that sequence. Where this excels over other timer apps is that once you have your tasks created in one project, you can copy those tasks to other projects. You can also set up an hourly charge at either the client level, or the project level or the per task level. As you set the timer for each task running, it also figures the dollar value of the work being timed. It also has numerous reports that you can either email or share. I have tried all the project timer apps that I could find on Google play and, although not as pretty as some, I have found Trice to be far superior in design and usage for my purpose than any of the others. It is not perfect and still needs some improvement and refinement, but its usefulness makes up for its deficiencies.

★★☆☆☆ Such a disappointment for me. I need to be able to manually enter the duration of a task, that's a dealbreaker for me. It appears that this app expects you to log tasks as you work and does not work otherwise. I would be surprised if there is anyone on this planet that logs EVERY task on their mobile at the exact moment they begin and end it. If you (like me) enter timesheet data once or twice a day, this isn't for you. The developers need to allow you to enter the duration of the completed task at the end of the day, simple change that would make it actually usable.
