Reviewing Business Application Software
  
Reviewing Application Software: WorkTime
           Type: Shareware

Review:
           WorkTime is software that can track or tells you about how many time you have spent on doing something, and it can collect any different activities that you have done on your computer. For instance, when you activate or start using your computer, and click start on its button of a WorkTime software, a clock begins to tick, and drops down menus for you to differentiate your time among separate projects or activities. After all, when you have done your activities, it will report a window showcases everything on your computer. Plus, you can also view your productivity three different ways such as through the calendar, a spreadsheet-like grid, or a bar chart.
           Moreover, by using this WorkTime software, you will find many different reports looking at overall data analysis, program utilization, and how long you focused on a specific project. However, it can make your computer a little bit slow, because it runs all the time you turn on your computer (when you click start on it). Also, you can have only 30 day for using this program after you have installed it, because this program is 30-day trial period.

Pros:
·         It tells you what you have done on your computer
·         It gives you details about how you spend your time on the computer
·         It helps you to manage your time
·         It can balance your time and your work
·         It´s easy to use
Cons:
·         It makes your computer a little bit slow
·         It is not automatically start to track your time or project, unless you click on its start button. Therefore, if you forget to click start on it, it won´t help anything to you
·         It´s a trial version

Summary:
            I just downloaded this software and installed it to my laptop, so I´m not sure about how it works yet. Plus, I just started to test it, and it´s easy to use. I will try to test it more and more later. The reason I choose to use this software is that I am a student, I can´t manage my time well. As a result, I need it to help me in order to manage my time properly. Moreover, as long as I´m a student, I have a lot of subjects to study, plenty of assignments to do, and other works to be finished every single day. Therefore, I really need it because it might help me to manage my time with all of my works easily. Also, it can track all my activities on my laptop, as well.
