What do you like best about Timely?

The app is a timely and efficient tool for individuals with ADHD. It effectively assists in keeping track of daily tasks and obligations, providing valuable support for those who struggle with organization and time management. The app's user-friendly interface and customizable features make it a great asset for individuals looking to improve their productivity and time management skills. Overall, it's a highly recommended solution for those seeking a reliable way to stay on top of their daily responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I found the lack of ability for Timely to keep track of the apps I use on my phone, as well as the time spent on phone calls and individual text messages, to be quite disappointing. It would have been incredibly helpful to have a comprehensive overview of how I spend my time on my phone, including which apps I use the most and how much time I spend on calls and texts. This feature would have provided valuable insights into my phone usage habits and allowed me to make more informed decisions about how to manage my time more effectively. I hope that Timely considers adding this functionality in the future to make the app more comprehensive and useful for its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

The ability to integrate Timely with a suite of MS applications makes this an ideal tool for tracking time and tasks in a quick and simplified manner. I also appreciate the Report functions. Once configured and with a bit of working history the system assesses, organizes, preloads tasks to specific project categories which speeds up time reporting. The memory feature allows me to work all week, or month, and not worry about missing entries for reporting task and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I am not certain that I have figured out the best and most efficitent means to generate Reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Roberts of Timely

What do you like best about Timely?

It was simple to set up, which was very helpful as I am not tech-savvy. This is the first time tracking software I have used. I researched several and ran some free trials! Timely worked best for my needs!

Integrating the different spaces and tabs I use and the amount of switching when working with clients was very effective! Shows multitasking and I can see an allocate even short minute blocks of time to allocate to a project & client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Nothing specific, but I sometimes forget to allocate the hours if I have to select something. This is on me, though, as I have not systematised enough of my scheduling and labelling.

It remains easy to go back and make the adjustments several days later when I have a moment, and then it only takes a moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Timely solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have retainer clients that have a predetermined number of hours allocated per month; Timely lets me keep tabs on over or under-delivery and helps me prove return on investment to the clients, thereby helping me show my benefit to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

I’m using Timely in a small research and insights firm wher I'm using Timely each work day.Timely has been a fantastic tool for helping to track time across the projects I’m working on. Installation and setup was easy. The automated tracking of app usage, ‘drag and drop’ assignment of time in apps to projects, and the way Timely learns to categorise your work are great. Using Timely has given me a much better understanding of where my time is being spent on projects, between projects and just how much time goes on different types of overheads and admin. There is a lot more capability in the tool than I’m currently using, but the automated time tracking by itself has been worth it so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I’ve not found any major limitations given my fairly simple usage scenarios. Since it doesn’t capture idle computer time where you might be taking offline notes, reading printed materials etc, you still need to remember to add this time in (or make allowance for I when using Timely as the basis for quotes). Perhaps better prompting for this kind of missed time would improve the app, but overall I’ve found it a really useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Timely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple and automated tracking of time means I'm getting more accurate information on the time I'm spending on projects, while spending less time on filling in timesheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
