Harvest App Reviews

When bugs aren’t getting in the way, it’s fine for recording time on tasks. But, you can’t use it when you are offline. And you can’t go back and record tasks on days in the past, which is something I often want to do to log my time after several days spent at a conference. (BUT, you *can* go back and *edit* tasks created on previous days, so the prohibition on adding tasks to days in the past is inconsistent, in addition to being dumb.) The app frequently has small bugs. Their latest version introduced a bug that is irritating on a daily basis. Every time I add my first task for the day, all the tasks from the previous day show up as though they happened today. To get rid of the phantom tasks, you have to toggle back to the previous day and then to today again. I’ve been expecting an update to fix this bug any day now for 4 months.

Update: the new version of the app is MUCH improved. So far so good! I love Harvest, but this app is seriously broken. The app creates duplicate timers when I try to start a new timer. When starting a new timer, the app shows a list of Projects that includes all of your archived projects… which, if you have a lot of archived projects (like I do) then you’ll have to sort through a list all of your old projects as well as your current projects every time you start a new timer. The sync function seems to have issues, I have witnessed time that was logged in the app not sync to the browser interface. If the browser version does not pick up the time logged in the app, then the app will sync and that time will be lost. It seems like the app used to work better than it does now.
