3. What's the difference between ClockedIn and ClockedIn 2?
   Major parts of ClockedIn 2 have been re-written to take advantage of iOS 4. The following is a list of some of the features specific to ClockedIn 2:

   • Application startup is greatly improved.
   • Better support for multitasking.
   • Calendar integration, completed timed tasks can be pushed to your iOS calendar.
   • Address book support to assist with setting up customers.
   • Timed tasks can span multiple days. In ClockedIn, timed tasks were broken up in to multiple tasks if they crossed days.
   • A timed task's day can now be edited. ClockedIn only allowed the editing of a task's time.
   • Reports can now be sent in CSV format.
   • Updated the user interface and navigation for an even better user experience.

4. Will ClockedIn 2 run on the iPad?
   ClockedIn 2 will run in compatibility mode on iPads running iOS 5.0 or greater. For a user experience tailored specifically for the iPad we have ClockedIn 2 for iPad.

5. Will the timer keep track of time even when I'm not in ClockedIn 2?
   Yes. You can even turn your phone off and it will still track the elapsed time of a task.

6. Can I edit the start and/or end times of tasks?
   Yes, you can edit the date and times of tasks.

7. Can I export the data out of ClockedIn 2?
   Yes. In addition to HTML formatted reports, you also have the option of sending an attached CSV file of the report.

8. Can I sync ClockedIn 2 to my calendar?
   ClockedIn 2 supports the ability to push completed timed tasks to a calendar in your iOS calendar app. Completed tasks can either be pushed automatically or manually. Just set the project's "Pushes to calendar" setting to "On", then select the calendar and whether to push automatically or not. There's more information about this feature on our "Calendar Push" page.

9. When configuring Calendar Push, what does "pushes automatically" mean?
   If set to "YES", all tasks will be pushed to your calendar when they are complete (have a start and end time). When set to "NO", you manually push them by editing each timed task you wanted pushed. However, once you set a timed task to push it will always update the calendar event if you edit it.

10. Does ClockedIn support timing concurrent tasks?
    No, ClockedIn can only time one task at a time.

11. What do the various system settings do?
    The system settings, found in the Settings app, allow you to customize the behavior of ClockedIn 2. Please see our "Settings" page for a complete explanation of the options.

12. How do I enter completed tasks into ClockedIn 2 that I didn't time?
    There are a couple of ways to do this. The easiest way is to go to the day that the task was performed in the day view and triple tap on an empty area in the hour listing. This will present you with an "Add Task" view. Just set the tasks information and save.
    
    If the day that you want to create the completed task for does not exist, tap on the "Day" button, which will present you with a calendar, then tap on the day for the task. Confirm that you want to add a completed timed task for the day and you'll be presented with the "Add Task" view to add the task with.
    
    The other way to add a completed task is in the project's totals view. Use the "Add Completed Task" button on the button of the view to get the "Add Task" view.

13. How do I delete a day and all its tasks?
    

    From the day view, tap on the "Day" button then tap on the "List" button to get a list of all the days with timed tasks. Tapping on the edit button will display a delete button for each day. Tap the delete button for the day you want to delete, confirm the delete and the day will be deleted.

14. ClockedIn 2 would be great if it would just do... How do I make a feature request?
    The best way to make a feature request is to send an email with your request to our support team. We log all feature requests in our support database which we use in evaluating future ClockedIn updates.

15. Does ClockedIn 2 collect and/or transmit my personal data to anyone?
    No. None of the products we've created, past or present, do this. We respect your privacy.

Version 1.30 - September 25, 2018.

• Updated for compatibility with iOS. Clockedin 2 now requires iOS 8 or above.
• Bug fixes.

Version 1.21 - November 29, 2017.

• Added a setting, "Date Format", that will allow you to configure ClockedIn to ignore your preferred language setting and use English (US) as the date format with in the app.

  The default date format, used by ClockedIn, is the primary language set for the device (in "Region & Language"). This update addresses the case where some users may want to ignore their preferred language setting and force ClockedIn to use the English (US) date format.

  The setting can be found in ClockedIn 2's settings in the Settings app. This brings feature parity with ClockedIn 2 for iPad.

Version 1.20 (1.20.01) - March 20, 2017.

• Resolves issues related to identically named projects and/or customers.

  In some cases, identically named projects and/or customers would not aggregate their totals under one line item but instead would be displayed as multiple line items on the totals views and reports.

  To create an archive, use the "Database" option in ClockedIn 2 settings, then launch ClockedIn 2. This will create an email and attach the current ClockedIn 2 database archive.
