Hey all, I'm an eighteen years old software engineer from germany (learn more about me here: http://www.mpscholten.de/about/). Project Log is my first try on android apps. It's a simple material designed work time tracker. I've built it because I was unhappy with all the existing apps I've tried out. Happy to receive some feedback :)

Sadly this is not compatible with a Samsung S5 and it's current Android version.

But Screenshots looking great.

"This app is incompatible with all of your devices." is what I get, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Not sure what the requirements are, but I would expect such a simple app to not have such steep requirements.

What android version are you running? It should be working with android 5.0+ :)

Edit: Just deployed a new version compatible with android KitKat. It should be available in the play store soon.

Great job with the simplicity and ease-of-use. This could work really well with https://wakatime.com/ to fill in the gaps of non-programming work time.

The app currently requires android 5.0+ because of material design stuff. But technically I could make it work on android 4. Never thought so many people are still running older android versions (My device is a nexus).

https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html KitKat is the most used version of Android (36%). More than all versions of 5 and 6 combined.

Thanks for the link. Just fixed the issues with KitKat. A new release compatible with KitKat should be available soon.
