User Reviews

Users largely value RescueTime for time tracking and cross-device syncing, and note its long-standing reliability. However, the Android app is repeatedly described as abandoned and outdated, with frequent data-sync problems, login/2FA hurdles, notification issues, and stability problems like freezes. Support responsiveness is also a concern. Overall, the core tracking is appreciated by long-time users, but the Android experience is commonly seen as unreliable and not up to date.

Pros

Good for productivity management and time tracking.
Cross-platform syncing with the desktop app.
Longstanding reliability and non-intrusive updates.
Provides useful insights into how time is spent.
Generally easy to use for basic time-tracking.

Cons

Android app appears abandoned and outdated with little or no updates.
Data syncing on Android is inconsistent or frequently fails.
Sign-in issues, including 2FA failures and login loops.
Notifications not working on Android.
Frequent freezing/crashes and unreliable tracking on mobile (with variable support).

I love this service and the app, just a little worried to see it hasn't been updated in three years! when is the new android version available? I see I made this same comment in 2022 when it had only been a year, the response said the new version was coming soon, but I think it just got some basic technical updates for compatibility since then?
