Hours Tracker for Pc

What prompted me to write this review is missing three days worth of punches, and not having any sort of alternate follow up available to be able to figure out when and where I was. This is an app I’ve used for years and actually love it quite a bit. It does everything you need it to do very well, and seamlessly in most cases. I go between locations/buildings quite a bit throughout the day, so it knows where I am and how long I was there, helps keep me aware of how much time I’m spending in one place or another. I even use it for things that are not job related just to help me keep track of how long I spend at certain locations (gym) which is a great time planning tool. It’s very frustrating though when I go for days at a time having it work great, then for some inexplicable reason it decides not to track anything. The Geo fencing is good, but if it’s not, then you end up running the risk of not having punches tracked. For whatever reason this seems to coincide when I do manual entries, the Geo fencing doesn’t kick in afterwards. Much as I would like to say this is a set-and-forget kind of app, you do actually need to be on top of it to make sure it’s not missing things which to me sort of defeats the purpose. That way you can remember quickly what it was and manually add it.

This app paid for itself the first day. Even charging just $20/hour, with as many jobs as I work on those little ten minute pieces add up. I am very hesitant about overcharging for my time; as that’s dishonest. But one of my clients told me it’s also dishonest for me to undercharge by not having a strict accounting of the the app, so I got this application and it’s awesome. I can keep track of all my jobs (easily over twenty) and keep it down to an accuracy that allows me to be honest with myself and my clients. It’s has only made me money and allows me to put notations on my various type of jobs so I can later do analytics on my proficiency to better enhance my job bidding for future projects. Anyone who does consulting on an hour basis, or consulting on a per job basis will greatly benefit from this app. Also, it’s incredibly intuitive and robust. Love it.

This is my first time using an hour tracker app and I'm very picky on what I choose to use on just about anything, but I can say that this app is easy to comprehend, I like the fact that it includes your estimated tax rate percentage and any, if any deductions are made to your check. It shows you how much you have made daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly on the amount of entries you input which I consider to be very helpful, but I would love it if it would also break it up into how your (the user) pay periods work, this is the reason I gave it 4 stars. On the bottom section where the tab that says Jobs, if you could please update it to where when your pay period ends, the app provides a horizontal breaker line to separate all the entries from the past pay period, that way it's doesn't seem all crowded. Nonetheless this app deserves 4 stars and a half, but Apple Store does not allow me to put that in. Very great app to track your the app and pay.

Even the free version is simple and user-friendly enough that I ACTUALLY USE it (unlike some others I’ve tried). Data export is great, and makes my invoicing much easier. It works great on my iPhone & iPad, but since it was designed for the phone only, there is no way to sync the two devices. (I can backup the one with the most current data and overwrite the other by restoring from that backup, but the won’t sync.) That isn’t a big deal, it’s just easier for my old eyes to use the iPad generally, but easier to clock in using the phone when I’m away from the office or when I receive a work call. Only other complaint is that I’ve been considering subscribing, but the subscription pricing is difficult to determine (lots of options, not sure what they all are).
