🇬🇧 ✨ Pro version

timo

Oliver You can create up to 5 tasks in the free version. You can create unlimited "work units" however.

Oliver

Thanks

I purchased the pro version on my old MS work account. We have now changed domains and therefore have a new work MS account - am I able to transfer my licence and shut it down on the old MS account and have it on the new one at all please.

PS - Love this app 🙂
Thanks

timo

It is not possible to purchase the Pro version with work accounts, see the Microsoft docs here.

If an employee makes an in-app purchase, they'll make it with their personal Microsoft account and pay for it with a personal payment method. The employee will own the item purchased, and it cannot be transferred to your organization’s inventory.

Thank you for the almost instant reply. Love the Working Hours app BTW. Will look to also purchase Win ver of App. Currently only have it on my phone.

Hi Timo! I love the app and I purchased it on my personal computer. I also need to track the time I spend on my work computer - I am moving to part-time contract. However the installation on the work computer won't allow me to use the Pro features (like export) anymore, even though it used to sync to the same database in my personal Google Drive.

Do I need to be logged into my personal Microsoft account on the work computer?

LauraMartin Do I need to be logged into my personal Microsoft account on the work computer?

You need to be logged in with your personal account (that you bought the app with) to the Microsoft Store app when downloading WorkingHours. Only then WorkingHours is provided the license information and can unlock the Pro Version.

I think that worked! I lost a few entries, but I'm happy if I can sync on both laptops going forward. Thanks!

Hi @timo
I'm about to go freelance. Can I port the pro version over to the new email address?
(it's the same work with the same clients, just from a different email address)
Thanks,
Patrick

PatrickL As written above, the Pro version is bound to the App Store account that you bought the app with and can not be transferred.

“This also applies to the iOS & macOS versions, even though they can be both downloaded with the same Apple account. That means that the macOS Pro version can only be used on macOS (Desktop) and the iOS Pro version can only be used on iOS (iPhone & iPad).”

It's quite awful,
Nowadays, there are very few apps that need to be purchased separately across IOS & Mac OS platforms, and it makes me very confused cause the words clearly told me "The Pro version license is bound to your App Store account"(no "respective" words in my chinese version).

I just wanna share my desktop notes on my phone and i already pay for Pro version, but it seems like i should pay more for ios, sounds crazy in 2022.

timo

gujiafeng Do you know some app that does it "better"? Above I tried to explain what implications a shared license would have and how it would make the overall Pro version more expensive. Would be very interested to hear about how other apps do it and how expensive they are. So far I haven't come across a similar time tracking app for iOS and macOS that is cheaper than WorkingHours.

From my experience, nowadays most apps are subscription-based, which means that they are much more expensive for the user in the long run. If that is what users want though, I have to consider offering something like this, even if I don't know why this would be preferable. It causes more costs for the user and I have less time to actually improve the app.

gujiafeng cause the words clearly told me

In the Pro version screen, the info says "App licenses for other platforms need to be purchased separately" with a link to this FAQ. Not sure how to be more clear...

Love the app and connection to Diarim. Are there any time considerations for the full version. Recognising that it's a one time fee (which I prefer!), does this mean the app is supported for x months/years? Thanks

timo

GeorgeDarling Didn't fully understand your question, sorry. What exactly do you refer to with "support"?
There are no guarantees from my side regarding how long this app will be updated or bugs will be fixed but I have no plans of stopping it, if that's what you mean.

Hello. I know it’s probably a setting on my phone, but I can’t seem to get the audible alarm to work when using the Pomodoro feature. The Notification Sound setting within the app is turned on. I’m made sure notification within the Os is turned on also. Any ideas how to make the Pomodoro sound audible? I do see the badge notifications. But when I’m working and not specifically looking at my phone while on-task, having the audible alarm would be beneficial. I’m using iPhone 7 on iOS 15.6.1.

timo

Geo This is the discussion about the "Pro version", please open a separate discussion for different topics. Please make sure you have not disabled the "Sound" option in the iOS notification settings for WorkingHours. I am currently unable to reproduce this problem on my iPhone test device

Geo

timo Thank you. I’ve been using the Pro version for several years and am enjoying it. I just wish I could edit the start and end times, but the recent addition of split time helps with that. Im still unable to get the sound alert to come on, even though settings are all turned on for sound notification. I’ll continue to play around with the settings and restart a new thread if needed. Thanks.

I have given money for pro version
But the app tells to buy pro version again

timo

Arya Please read the first paragraph of this discussion. It tells you how to restore the Pro version if you have already bought it for a platform. You need to buy the Pro version once per platform if you are using it on multiple devices

What about using stripe to manage subscriptions instead of app stores platforms? I think the current model is too complex from a customer perspective since I pay 1$ to have the pro version on android, but the windows version costs 15$, providing almost the same functionality.

timo

yvysunu The Pro version on Android doesn't cost $1 - at least not in the US or European countries. It should be around $7. I don't know what the conversion rates are for other currencies.
The Play Store and Apple App Store also prohibit using other payment systems (like Stripe) than the ones they provide (like Stripe), so this isn't an option.
