TIMEFLIP2: Time&Task tracker 4+

Updated review

I’ve used the device and app for a while now and enjoying it. There are certain aspects of the data tracking that are not intuitive and slightly frustrating. Outside of that I’ve grown to rely on it heavily for all my different projects and would recommend it to others.

—the below was resolved. There was an error on their side which was not communicated within the app or any of their social media. I did receive an email response.

Waited (I believe) over a month to receive and now that I have it, I am unable to make an account and actually use the device.

Hello Stanoje,

We had a server issue on that day, have you tried again? Please, contact our support if you still have this problem

Frustratingly unreliable app and webpage

When this thing works, it’s great for time tracking. I turn it on in the morning, flip it all day with different tasks at work, then pause it at the end of the work day. Frequently, I come back to the app and it hasn’t tracked anything all day. Or, like today, it has tracked one activity 24 hours a day for the coming week. When that happens, I have to disconnect it from the app and reconnect it again, which wiped out all of my data, and makes me reconfigure the faces. The web page that is supposed to display everything from the app is often blank for days at a time. I’m frankly disappointed, bordering on annoyed, considering her expensive it was and how long it took to arrive.

Update: Dropping to one star. Support informed me to change the batteries. When I tell them they are reporting as almost half full, they tell me the battery percentage doesn’t report correctly. Clearly a bug or hardware problem.

Hi! A battery indicator is ever 100% correct for any device, simply because voltage measurement relation to charge left is not linear. I bet it takes your phone much less time to lose the last 20% of charge than the first 20%. We recommend installing quality alkaline batteries in the device. For sure, disconnecting from the device is a normal mode

Needs improvements

I received my Timeflip2 the other day and really excited to use it. The product is good quality however the app needs more work. The Bluetooth setup is spotty at best. I had to use both hands to select the timeflip2 and hit next before it disappeared from the menu. I don’t understand the need for distance scroller since it’s Bluetooth it’s either nearby or it’s not (max range ~33ft on iPhone X). Next is all of the broken UI elements. Most selectors work but anything that has customizable number is blank. You cannot see what value your choosing. I’ve sent feedback to their support email - I hope I hear back in a timely manner. On the positive side you can setup the different tasks and it will track as described so it does meet the MMF (minimum marketable feature) so it delivers on the main feature.
