Paymo goes mobile
We’re extremely happy to announce the mobile time tracking beta version of Paymo called Paymo2Go, a lite version designed to be used on your mobile phone while away from the computer. Paymo2Go uses the Yahoo! Go 3.0 mobile framework, an all-in-one offering that lets you enjoy the best of the Internet on your phone—for free. (a big thanks to the team over there that was very responsive and helpful, you can check out their dev blog at
http://mobile.yahoo.net/developer/blog/).
In order to use Paymo2Go you need to take the following steps:
1. You need a Paymo account, if you don’t already have one you can
sign-up here
2. You need a Yahoo active account, you can
register here
3. You need a
Yahoo! Go 3.0 compatible phone. Paymo2Go runs on over 280 phones so it’s very probable that your phone is supported!
4. If you are the owner of an iPhone, Windows Mobile device, Nokia S60 phone point your browser to http://paymo-to-go.bpapps.com/
If you own another type of device that is supported, point your phone’s browser to
get.go.yahoo.com and follow the steps on screen to install Yahoo! Go 3.0
5. Browse the widget gallery, install Paymo2Go and start punching in time!
Paymo2Go is still in beta so you might encounter small glitches while using it. We’ll be working hard to fix any problems and we’ll add some new features in the weeks to come. As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours).

What no iPhone love?! What’s with that. Such an awesome app is perfect fit with the iPhone.

Gregg, it does work on the iPhone too. You should use this url: beta.m.yahoo.com if you’re using the iPhone.

If you had a sync-able iphone app that worked offline and in the background you’d clean up. Select a project and hit ‘go’ as you walk into a customer’s office, send it to the background…
I found the yahoo widget a little clunky – password request every time on the paymo end, no start/stop time, and I couldn’t save it to my iPhone as an app shortcut.
I love your online product – very nicely done.

Matt, we’re currently working on a new version of Paymo, after it will be out we hope to come out with a IPhone only version.

I am having a problem trying to log on to it via mobile. What am I doing wrong?
How do you input the company subdomain? Can someone give me some examples.

Congrats on the new feature. This should help your market adoption. Keep up the good work and here’s hoping you guys get many more users with this new mobile feature. Are you going to get the thing into the Apple iPhone App Store?

I was about to select this as my new time-tracking software, but now I’m not so sure. I’d love to have one software set that worked both on my mobile device and my computer, but I’d like to synchronize without going over the web. I’m one of those folks who loves his smartphone but doesn’t pay the steep rates for web access. Any plans for wired synchronization in the future?
December 6, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Due to the fact that Paymo is a web application you need some form of internet access if you’re planing to use a cell phone to track time. There are no plans to allow syncing phones to a desktop app that would than sync up with the web.

Am currently evaluating Paymo and like what I see so far. Definitely agree with Matt that an iPhone-specific app is the way to go. There’s a window of opportunity to secure an early position on this platform – but blink and you’ll miss it! My prediction is that the iPhone is going to do for mobile telephony what the iPod did for mobile music – but with a much quicker ramp-up.

I cannot find the widget. All I see is a “snippet” list, that does not contain Paymo.
Is it really an application, or just as the Windows Desktop App a kind of “iframe” to the webclient?
Now I am here, I would like to share some toughts about features:
- Singe click on the taskbar icon should toggle start/stop.
- Taskbar icon should be green when timing.
- Pauze function?
- It would be really awesome when Paymo automaticly pauzes tracking when a program like Live Messenger is in focus. Just add something in the configuration panel: stop tracking when following procceses are in focus: [add] [list of chosen apps]
- I would like a custom workbar for the tool. So I can see the counter do its job, and can easily pause or stop it.
- Something like a pauzemanager: Hey you worked for an hour, take a walk.
I really hope I get some feedback on this,
Cees

I had trouble finding the Widget, too – you need to create a Yahoo Account first, then you can get access to the Widgets. Try scrolling through the ‘All Categories’ list to find Paymo.
But I’m not sure whether it is worth the bother. The Paymo2Go widget interface is pretty slow and clunky. There’s certainly no elegance there.
To make matters worse, I bookmarked it but when I tried to return is gave me an “Error #201 – Company not found” message. I then couldn’t find the Paymo2go widget when I returned to the Yahoo home screen. So I’ve given up on the idea of mobile Paymo for now.
Jan – hurry up with the native iPhone app!
January 30, 2009 at 11:53 am
Guys, we’re aware Paymo2Go is not the most fun to use app, however it does work on a huge variety of phones. We’re a pretty small team, but we’re doing the best we can to hurry up development and the iphone app is a priority.
February 6, 2009 at 9:52 am
I just read your posting about Paymo2Go. I have a Nokia N75, so this web application is possible in my phone?
February 6, 2009 at 10:50 am
The Nokia n75 is not supported by Yahoo2Go but you might want to try the online version if you have a good browser it might work.

Is this widget still available for the iPhone?
I’ve followed the instructions above and only see an option for “Snippets” after logging in. Searching through the snippets turns up nothing for Paymo. I tried searching in the oneSearch bar for Paymo… no luck. So I then tried searching for widgets. Went to the widgets.yahoo.com page but still can’t seem to locate any reference to Paymo.
How’s the iPhone app looking?
March 31, 2009 at 11:22 am
There seems to be an issue with Yahoo2Go. The widget is available within the Yahoo2Go app.
April 14, 2009 at 7:12 am
I can’t find the Paymo2Go for the iPhone!!!
Could it be please possible to post a Link? So i can find, install and use it?
April 14, 2009 at 11:24 am
Reinhard, please use Paymo dicrectly from Safari on the IPhone until we’ll have a dedicated IPhone app.
April 14, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Jan, so there will we an iPhone App? I know somebody who would like to beta test it
April 14, 2009 at 1:53 pm
951,165,150 downloads on the App Store so far. Hope an iPhone app is heading towards the top of the Paymo development priority list.
June 27, 2009 at 2:27 am
when i log in on the iphone to paymo to go bpapps it keeps telling me “error #201 company not found”. but i’m entering the info correctly! then when i try to just use it in safari it keeps looping me back to the login screen, not taking me into my account. help?!
June 27, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Woud like to get paymo on my Android-Phone (HTC Magic)…is there a change?
June 29, 2009 at 10:47 am
@rachel
make sure you enter the “company subdomain” and not the “company name” in the first box. for ex.:
if you access your account using https://mycompany.paymo.biz then the value for the fisrts box would be “mycompany”
@tenzin
use: http://paymo-to-go.bpapps.com in your browser and it should work.
October 1, 2009 at 3:05 pm
will try do create a webapp for iPhone asap … maybe it will work “resident” using a manifest…
October 5, 2009 at 2:42 am
Opportunity’s still there – for now. But I’m guessing there are developers out there working on an iPhone based timesheet system as the platform from which they can then develop the online / desktop system. Working backwards from the iPhone instead of treating it as an add-on.
It’s been over a year now since the iPhone issue was first raised here.
December 1, 2009 at 3:59 pm
“point your phone’s browser to get.go.yahoo.com and follow the steps on screen to install Yahoo! Go 3.0″
What is the scoop with the mobile app for blackberry, sounds like yahoo go will no longer be supported?
April 30, 2010 at 5:00 am
Still no iPhone app? I love Paymo but I love Harvest because it has go an iPhone app. I am undecided at this point…
April 30, 2010 at 8:43 am
the iPhone app is ready, we’re beta testing it at the moment.
May 20, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Great app! Very excited about the iPhone app….can’t wait!
May 25, 2010 at 1:09 pm
The iPhone app is available for download, get it now:
