iOS App Update – Automatic GPS Mileage Tracking

The new timr iOS App (v1.5.8) offers a great new DriveLog feature. The new Automatic GPS Mileage Tracking  enables you to track your mileage by GPS. It is very precise and the best thing is, it automatically detects if you move by feet or by car and only tracks your mileage if you’re moving by car!

With the new App you can start mileage tracking when you’re leaving your home in the morning and you can stop it back at home at the end of the day. Have you ever forgotten to stop mileage tracking in the evening when you arrived at home? Now, with the new timr Automatic GPS Mileage Tracking you can easily save the drivelog for the whole day at your couch and don’t have to take a look at your odometer every day.

Additional new Updates:

+ Task Search: You can now search for tasks by name

New timr Features – Select your Date and Time Format, History, Last Comments

A) Choose Date and Time Format

We know our US customers are already awaiting this feature for a long time: You can now select your date & time format.

To change your current date & time format go to Administration/Settings and choose between one of the available formats.

B) History

timr now tracks any changes to your working time, project time or drive log records. If a record was changed afterwards you can verify all changes. For the drive log you can also create a special pdf report which contains all changes to your drive log records. Some governments require such a report in order to accept your electronic drivelog.

C) Reuse Last Comments

You can now simply choose your comment for your current time record based on oe of your previous comments. This feature is available for working time and project time tracking.

Rounding, new Statistics, many minor Improvements

We’ve just released a new update for the timr web application which adds some really nice features and many improvements.

A) Rounding

A lot of users had been asking for it, now it’s available.

The nicest thing about our rounding implementation: Your recorded time stays untouched, it only rounds durations for the reporting. That means you can apply different rounding mechanisms for your clients. You can also configure your default rounding in you account settings.

B) New Statistics

Being honest, the old statistics window wasn’t really nice but it took us a while to get rid of it. Now we’re ready with much nicer table sums and statistics, we hope you like it.

Already worked enough for this week?

Are you just working or can you turn your time into money?

C) Improvements

We’ve added a lot of minor improvements. Just to name one: You can now also sort a table by the task column which is quite helpful to group all records by task.

Updates for Administration and Reports

In our latest update we added two improvements:

  1. It is possible to select wether to show inactive tasks in the administration or not:

    In the settings you can define the default and in the task tree you can temporary show or hide them by clicking the checkbox.

  2. The well known time frame selection from the user and task dashboards is know available in the working time, project time and drive log view too.
    The default selection of the current weeks shows you the status of the current week. It is easier to select on specific day by flipping through them with the next and previous buttons on the left. Doing monthly or quarterly  billings also got easier by predefined time frames.

We hope that you are happy with the progress we made and we are always happy to hear your feedback at info@timr.com

As always you can find a detailed change log here.

New timr Look & Feel

We’re now on the market with timr for more than 2 years. As with most Startup’s, we’ve started very small and with low budget. Since the majority of our team consists of technicians and because we’ve decided to design the website as well as the web application by our own due to the lack of money, the previous design was very technical. Meanwhile, the number of timr users has grown quite well, on the BlackBerry platform we’re among the world’s top 3 time tracking applications. We believe these successes of the last 2 years should also be reflected in the timr appearance. Therefore, we’ve developed the brand new, modern and appealing layout together with Midhouse Creative. From today on, timr gets a new website, web application as well as a new logo. The look&feel of our mobile apps will follow quite soon.

For us, the new layout reflects a milestone in the development of timr. At the same time, it’s also the starting point for many great extensions and improvements that will follow in the future.

We hope that the new layout matches our user’s taste and we’re really looking forward on your feedback!
