Overview
ATracker is a time and task tracking app that works for both mobile and web. It offers features like detailed time reports, goal setting, and a customizable interface with different styles, backgrounds, and icons.
The great thing about ATracker is that it’s really quick and easy to use, despite its not so intuitive interface. There’s no lengthy setup or complicated settings—just open the app, tap to start tracking, and you’re good to go. Switching between tasks is just as simple too.
The Goal Setting feature adds a nice touch by helping you stay motivated and track progress toward your targets. You can also visualize your time with bar charts and daily reports, making it convenient to see where you’re spending the most time.
Using ATracker does have its downsides though. For one thing, the reporting is limited. There are only two viewing options, calendar and history, which I think barely scratch the surface of analytic needs.
To add to that, ATracker’s bugs and syncing difficulties are a headache that may affect the reliability of tracked data, or even cause them to be lost altogether.
When it comes to time tracking, ATracker, while easy to use, is pretty basic. It lacks key features like biometric clock in options, GPS tracking, app integrations, and so on. It’s great for personal productivity for sure, but if you’re looking for something more advanced, ATracker might feel a bit too basic.
That being said, before we jump to any conclusions, let’s take a closer look at what else ATracker has to offer!

What Pricing Plans Does ATracker Offer?
ATracker has 3 pricing plans: Free, Pro for iOs and Android, and Premium.

ATracker has a free plan which is great but it only gives access to ATracker’s main functions. What exactly these functions are is vague as they don’t indicate it on their site.
The Pro plan goes for a one time cost of $4.99 for iOS and $2.99 for Android. Both almost have an identical set of features, except that iOS users have the advantage of access via their apple watch and device sync via Dropbox.
The ATracker Premium is the most feature-rich plan among the others and costs $2.99 per month or $26.99 a year for both iOS, Android and Web. Users who want to purchase this plan must be using ATracker Pro for iOS or Android.
ATracker’s pricing plans can definitely be confusing, just cause each tier offers a different billing structure. Value-wise, I think the prices are pretty reasonable for the attached features. But you could still get more value though from other time tracking software options.
Jibble for example includes features not only for time tracking but also geofencing, GPS tracking, group management, time off and leave management, all for only $2.99!
What are the Standout Features of ATracker?
1. Time Tracking
ATracker’s time tracking feature is pretty basic. And there are good and bad sides to that.
On the plus side, its simplicity means you can start tracking your time right away. No lengthy set-up, no steep learning curve. You can start their timer with a quick tap, and you can switch tasks just the same. The mobile app’s interface could use a bit of work, but overall it’s still pretty easy to use. This makes it a good option for those who just need a straightforward timer for their tasks.
The downside with being too basic of a time tracker though is that ATracker lacks many advanced features found in other time tracking tools. There’s no automated timesheets, GPS tracking, or biometric clock-in options. This means users who need detailed reports, client invoicing, or location-based tracking might find ATracker too limited for their needs.
Looking at all its time tracking features, I’d say ATracker is really more of a time tracker for personal use. It’s not all that great for teams or businesses.

2. Goal Setting
Using ATracker’s goal setting feature allows users to be very specific with how much time they want to spend on specific activities. It also allows them to see their progress on their goals with dedicated analytics.
There are bar charts that help visualize the amount of time spent on specific tasks and display at a glance. This helps users check if they need to spend more time on their targets, or if they have been met or exceeded. Users can also enable goal notifications to receive alerts when they are approaching their set time limits.
Daily goal reports give visibility to progress made throughout the day, and monthly goal reports show values and percentages tracked within the period complete with comparisons of the goals for each day. All pretty neat and simple tools for reaching your productivity goals!

3. Reporting
ATracker’s reports display time-tracking data for various periods, like the current day, week, month, or any custom range. I like how insights are shown with easy-to-read pie and bar charts, making it easy to understand your time utilization. Both chart types can be filtered by tags or tasks for specific insights and exported in various formats, including CSV, email, social media, or print.
While visually appealing though, ATracker’s reporting options are limited, making it less ideal for users needing detailed or customizable analytics.

4. History Tab and Calendar View
The History tab on ATracker lists your past tasks entries for a chosen time period so you can have a good look at how you spend your time. There are several filters you can apply to easily find the data you’re looking for. You can also opt to display time entries with tags and notes for more information.
There’s also the calendar view which lets you schedule tasks for specific dates and times while showing all your past time entries in a visual format.
You can easily edit tasks in both views by tapping on them, adjusting the start and end times, and changing durations. In the calendar view, you can quickly drag task entries to adjust their times.
I have to say though, their display on the calendar view isn’t really optimized on mobile. You have to zoom in way too much just to see what the time entries are for. It’s just not easy on the eyes overall.

5. Accessibility and Customization
ATracker can be used on iOS and Android systems, as well as on web browsers and Apple Watches. This gives users the flexibility to track their time using their preferred device wherever, whenever.
Aside from flexible accessibility, ATracker also offers loads of personalisation, users can customize their tasks using hundreds of icons and colors, and the interface itself with various backgrounds to capture users’ unique personalities.
The diversity of icons and colors makes tasks easier to identify and presents a highly visual way of organizing users’ days. And it’s really just a great way to help users put their personal touch on the app.
It’s a shame though how the Android version is weaker than the iOS version, missing features like widgets and syncing options.

Selected Negative User Feedback
- “Best time tracker for a non-corporate focus, but it is lacking in integration and flexibility in some areas.” – Kevin Erazo (Source: Google Play Store)
- “I love the premise of this app, and I would love to use it, but on both my phones the visuals come out a bit compressed? It’s the small details and doesn’t decrease the functionality, but due to adhd visual clutter is not something I cope with well.” – Rhea Steensma (Source: Google Play Store)
- “ I’m not sure why decent widgets and persistent notifications are missing from the Android version, but it makes ATracker a much worse experience here than on iOS, which is a shame. – Tory Belloise-Newsom (Source: Google Play Store)

- “It’s a really good app to track how you spend time. But I believe it is mainly built for iOS, so the design and functionality is very apple like and a bit confusing. Also there are a few bugs, and for a pretty much paid only app that is not expected.” – Harigovind SR (Source: Google Play Store)

- GooglePlay: 4.2/5
- App Store: 4.7/5
What's My Final Verdict on ATracker?
ATracker is a simple time tracking app that focuses solely on tracking how you spend your time. It has a minimal setup, which is nice, but it might be too stripped down, missing some key features.
It has no security features to prevent time theft and really lacks team collaboration functionality. The reporting options are limited to basic bar and pie charts, lacking the detailed analytics found in other apps.
On the plus side, ATracker allows for a lot of customization with icons and backgrounds, making it fun to personalize. You can track multiple tasks with a few quick taps, and you have the flexibility to use it on your phone, laptop, or your smartwatch.
I’d definitely recommend ATracker if you’re just looking for a basic time tracking app for personal use. For more serious time tracking needs, you might want to look elsewhere.
