Well, it's been several months...and I use a pda cuz I don't trust my own memory, so specifics are a little fuzzy at this point.
But here's what I recall....
* In general, the 'ease of use' factor would have ranked 7-8 on a 10 point scale.
* I liked that, by default, there was a desktop version of the app so that entries could be made on either the PPC or the desktop.
* The desktop portion of the app was an Access db. That was very nice as the db could be queried with all the usual Access tools and build reports from within Access if the app itself didn't provide what was needed.
What I didn't like was that, by design, the app assumed it was being used by a consultant who needed to expense out his/her billable time. I'm a salaried corporate cube farm menial, and don't need those capabilities. I just need to track my time so I can prove to the boss how overworked I am.
It seems almost every app I've looked at in this genre makes it hard to avoid having to do at least some 'expense' related data entry because they all assume use by consultant rather than somone who just needs to document time. TimeTTracker was better than others in that respect, but still couldn't avoid some 'expense reporting' altogether if it wasn't relevant to the user's situation.
Just as a general note unrelated to TimeTTracker and without having yet evaluated BOnTime, I can say that the ease of use factor is *BY FAR* the most important for my needs with an app of this type. I need to spend as little time as possible documenting my 'productive' time rather than spendng 20% of that time documenting activities...making me less productive.
