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 beta.m.yahoo.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?

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.
