Wish they would go back to the original - Version: 1.0.1, 1/31/2006 09:25AM PST

I tried this through a couple of iterations in various versions of Mac OS X. I could never get it to keep times and data reliably. Although it had some nice features that Project Timer 1.4.2 didn't have I found Project Timer to be more efficicent for my needs for basic time-tracking. I still use Project Timer 1.4.2 with Mac OS 10.3.9 but it gets bogged down if I leave it on too long or have a log that has over five days of entries.

I really wish the developer would do some rework of Project Timer 1.4.2 to take care of its sluggishness and make that Project Timer Lite.

It sucks - Version: 1.0.1, 2/15/2005 03:09PM PST

I am sorry to say but it is the truth,...this software really sucks. I am really sorry to have bought it. The reason was that it was shown on the Apple site. I thought that would be a sign of quality, but it was not.

There is no logic , no intuition . Rubbish

Frustrating - Version: 1.0.1, 11/9/2004 04:03AM PST

After using the original Project Timer for a couple of years I attempted to migrate to Project Timer Lite 1.0.1 (i.e. the latest version). It was a very frustrating experience. So many bugs and such an inconsitent interface that I'm simply tired to send any feedback to the developer. I'm very sorry to say that -- but Project Timer Lite sucks. Most likely I will switch to TimeLog.
