App Review: aTimeLogger 2 for iOS

As a freelancer, time tracking is essential to the work I do. I'm always looking for ways to improve that tracking, so I've been trying out different apps lately to help with the task.

Archos Connected Scale Review

Over the past few years, we've all seen the rise of the fitness tracker and their transformation into wearables. While the goal of encouraging greater fitness is laudable and essential for the future health of the nation, to some extent the tracker is the gamification of fitness.
