When recording observations the last thing you want to be doing is looking down at your device, struggling with typos, entering times. Timestamped Field Notes allows efficient note taking; time-stamping each entry as you make it. Simply tap buttons to record the most commonly recorded events (or most used words), significantly reducing the need for typing. Fallback to the keyboard only when required. Export your notes in chronological order by exporting to cloud storage as CSV, JSON or plain text. Timestamped Field Notes supports timestamps to minutes or to seconds; configurable to display and/or export seconds (although they are always stored in case you change your mind.) Dates and/or Times can be exported. Note: Initially developed for monitoring nesting Peregrine Falcons (recording audibles, location activity, territory behaviors) this application can be configured for other time-stamped note taking endeavors: - Behavioral Event Recording (wildlife species, human subjects; students/teachers/patients/other.) - Personal well-being journal or daily notes log. - Marking key time points in interviews for easier post production (e.g. video editing.) - Interview note taking. Timestamped Field Notes supports multiple keyword sets.

I’ve used this off and on as a flight Medic to time stamp procedures and medications in flight. The first couple of versions were a little buggy but seems to work great now

If you remove all events recorded, cannot go back to note taking since you have to tap on an event to do that and you have deleted them.!?! Finally got to use the other set of keywords for my new experiment after a lot of random fumbling, deleting old set of keywords which still appeared in note taking, killing and restarting the app many times until whatever I wanted somehow appeared such as the new set of keywords. Looks like not-ready-for-prime-time app. Very high maintenance to figure out. No documentation to help in the hard stuff to do. Too bad, once I gyrated the app, tortured myself, cursed oh so many times, I got to where I needed to be and it worked wonderfully for my on-going data collection. Will not use it after this experiment . Maybe if I kill it and re-install from scratch (pretty lame)... recommended for one time use if you configure perfectly out of the box (unlikely). Get to work developing guys, you offer something quite useful. Please make it a grownup app rather than a disposable toy.

If you delete all events you can add a new one using "+" on the events screen. I don't recommend deleting events, merely exporting them, but you can if it feels cleaner.If you press "+" on the main screen you can start a new event with any of the keyword sets, which should be what you need.Sorry the app didn't give you a good experience. I'll keep reading your feedback and see if I can improve things for new users.Here is the documentation. Next release will link to this from the application: http://www.neukadye.com/mobile-applications/timestamped-field-notes/documentation/

Watch Functions Buggy

When making entries on watch, all entries are combined into a single entry unless the app is open and running on connected iphone. Therefore, watch app is essentially useless. Which was the whole reason I purchased the app. If I'm paying $10, the basic functions should work. Too bad; it's an otherwise decent app. I would reach out to the developer, but there hasn't been an update on this in about 5 years, so 🤷‍♂️

I have to do patrols hitting different doors and recording the time. I don’t know exactly what I’m doing yet. But doing test runs and not having the note load onto my iphone 12 from my ultra. Makes me question the reliability. Chances are its user error but its seems kind of confusing.
