- Optimized for the new edge to edge display on the Apple watch series
- Quick and easy time entry and editing make time trading painless
- Receive notifications when you arrive or leave, or let HoursTracker use your location to automatically record your time entries
Cons:

- The free app only allows limited entries so if you use it more than certain times, you must pay to upgrade. but if you do the upgrade, Apple doesn’t support family sharing with in app upgrade.
