Terrific Support
This program is a must have for anyone with Timeslips. The newest version adds 6 minute intervals, e-mail sync, and a list of "recents" for clients which really helps if you have a big database. Most importantly these guys are unbelievably responsive to e-mail questions and issues. Never had better support for an app.

Great Potential
this app has great potential. currently it is adequate to transfer to tslips through manual sysnch for Win 64 bit systems like mine. once the issues with 64 bit get worked out I see nothing but blue skys. If you travel as lot as I do, this app will work for you.
Fantastic!!!-Everything it's cracked up to be!
If it sounds too good to be true... IT'S NOT!!!! This app is better than TS Remote for the Palm platform. Had a technical problem setting up on Windows 7-64bit, but Tech support responded with blazing speed comparable to AppleCare! They even called mr after hours! Even when they were unable to reach me after hours they immediately sent a e-mail with step by step instructions on a work around that really worked...the FIRST time. This company is a stand out example for all types of business! What a breath of fresh air! A great product, that does what it claims better than it claims, at a reasonable price, with dedicated tech support that follows through and won't give up. It's INSPIRATIONAL !

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend this App. It is quite worth the money. Something that no one has mentioned is that this app uses that abbreviations that are programmed into Timeslips. This is incredible as just like in Timeslips, I can enter "cw" and it balloons into "conference with" just the way we programmed the abbreviations in Timeslips. I also have the following suggestions:
1) As another user suggested, the app needs to have billing available at 0.1 increments (0.1 being equal to 6 minutes). A lot of attorneys bill at 0.1 increments, and it is not efficient to enter 6, 12, 24, etc. every time I want to enter the billing time. I suggest that there should be an option in setting where I can choose to bill at 0.1 increments or 0.25 for other attorneys. Then, just like in Timeslips, I would enter 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc. in the billing field instead of 6, 12, 24, etc.
2) As for Task or Activity field, in my case, I only have one entry for "Legal Services." If there was option in Setting for Default Task/activity, it would be great, so that I don't have to pick "Legal Services" every time.
3) In the "clients" tab, it would be great where I could tap the top of the screen and be able to type the first few letters of the case name in order to pick the case name. I know I can tap on the side column on the appropriate letter to get the case, but the foregoing is more efficient when a firm has a lot of billable cases.
4) For entering mileage, the whole idea of calculating it is great. However, it does not allow me to pick someone out of my contacts. It seems that my options are only to pick my client's address, my office address, or use the iPhone's gps, unless I want to manually enter an address. So, if there was an option to tap an icon to get into my contacts, it would be great.
5) As for iSlips program that I have downloaded to my computer, the background screen is quite distracting. Sometimes, I cannot read the prints or what's on the fields. Please change the background.
6) I am not sure if something can be done about the following, but as for syncing, I wish I could just go to the iSlips on my iPhone and hit the sync button and just sync the data. Instead, I have to also open up the iSlips on my computer, hit sync, then find my iPhone and hit sync again. By analogy, I have the Todo app which has the same syncing idea, but in that one all I have to do is to just hit the sync button on its program on the iPhone and it syncs. I don't have to open up the Todo program on my computer. If this could get changed, it would be great. At the minimum, I should not "find" my iPhone every time I open the iSlips on my computer.
7) Finally, it would be great if I could sync over the air - not just through wifi. I would love to be able to sync while I am out of the office.
I really like this app, and I can see it getting much better. This is why I took my time to type the above suggestions. I hope the developer reads the suggestions, and try to implement as many of them as possible. Thank you for the great app.

Excellent app for law firms
The new version of iSlips works great for our law firm. We have a large database of clients, and the prior version would freeze up. We were very impressed by the personal communication from the designer. He kept us in the loop with regard to his revisions, and he produced an update that addressed all of our issues. The ability to capture time while out of the office, and have it seamlessly integrate into Timeslips upon return, has been a wonderful addition to our practice. Thank you to Steve and his Brainfreeze team!

Perfect app!
I've constantly been looking for an app I could sync with Timeslips. This app nails it; it paid for itself several times over in the first few days. I also have to rave for customer support; I had a question during the initial sync and had a response very quickly.
This app has made me realize how much time I missed billing for when I was not near my desktop to track it. The interface is so easy to use; I actually prefer it to the desktop and just sync it whenever I'm back in the office. Can't rave enough about this app.

Someone finally did it! And did it right!
I have been searching the app store monthly for two years for this app! Once I found it, after it came out two weeks ago, I was more than a bit concerned. So I emailed my concerns. 3 hours later an actual response - from a human. A human that actually knew what my concerns were and answered them. I am not making this up! I swear. I had a number more questions so I asked this person, steve, to call when he had a chance. 45 minutes later. Seriously 45 minutes. Steve calls me and takes a half hour to answer, honestly and intelligently, every tech and function question I had. Based on the level of service alone, before I had spent a cent, I was convinced. So I got it three hours ago. I set an hour aside to configure it. It was about 55 minutes more than needed. It was up and running in about 5 minutes. I spent the last two hours catching six weeks of billing notes up. Everything synced flawlessly. No glitches. No misapplied slips. No missing slips. No invoice lockup (for those time to time users). Frankly it is hard to believe anyone could have been more skeptical than I was about plunking down 50.00 a head for even a small office. But, in time saved in entry and slips which may otherwise not be entered absent the "easy factor" this app should make you money after the first day. It's 50.00, stop thinking about it and get it. At our rates two calls which we wouldn't typically bother to bill will pay it off. The rest is profit and time saved entering slips. To steve and all the rest that made this app come to be - a million thanks. Just one favor though, maybe a tenth (.1=6min) option for time entry in the update. I will go nuts going to per minute or doing the conversion in my head for too long. (I had to be critical of something, otherwise no one would believe I was a lawyer. ; ) )

iSlips where have you been all my billable life!
The application has paid for itself in the first week of owning it. This is a lot faster than booting up my laptop and Timeslips. I love the fact that I can start a slip when making a call to a client. The mileage calculator is a nice touch. This is a must have application for anyone who owns Timeslips and has an iPhone.
