Uninstalling ExakTime Mobile is generally not needed unless you were setting up ExakTime Mobile for a different ExakTime Connect account or to troubleshoot an issue.

When ExakTime Mobile is initially set up, it is tied to an ExakTime Connect so the user can view the appropriate locations, cost codes, and track their time. If the user were to begin working with another company that also uses ExakTime Mobile, they must set up their ExakTime Mobile app again to tie it to new ExakTime Connect account.

Reinstalling an app is a common method to troubleshoot and/or fix oddities with any app. Before uninstalling ExakTime Mobile on your own, be aware that any unsent information such as field notes or time records or critical troubleshooting information such as logs may also be lost. If you are unsure if you should uninstall ExakTime Mobile to correct something, it may be best to consult your ExakTime administrator on what to do first to ensure nothing critical is lost.
