I’d highly recommend using this in addition to the web application. Excellent for time and expense tracking on the go. Syncs in real time so you can be confident everything is up-to-date.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-07-23, version 4.0.7*

I can easily find everything I need from contacts, matters, billable time and reports all on one screen.

### 1/5 — Out-of-state technology paraded as current state of the art

*2023-12-18, version 4.0.7*

Bill for time was an innovator when it was first deployed. It’s failure to update its technology to two address, format, reliability, and other deficiencies in its formatting and operations coupled with customer service report that doesn’t communicate responsibly or well. Makes this a increasingly substandard solution. Using the desktop or app version, for instance, the bill4 time “solution“ regularly locks up, works at a snails pace, requires the user to re-sync with the system for it to reflect new entries when it makes corrections, requires cumbersome duplicate re-entry of data, does not work efficiently through the entry of client and other data, produces a really sloppy looking cover letter. That is both parameter, limited and difficult to get consistent text or spacing, doesn’t hold on a regular basis, resulting in an excessive waste of time by a program that supposed to be a time saver, and I host other design defects and operating issues. That makes this a very cumbersome and time-consuming process that produces a very ugly bill. I’ve been forced to waste so much time, trying, trying to fix their invoice cover letter problem over the last 15 years that I finally gave up and tried to exclude it only to have the system perpetually reinsert it despite the setting to admit the statements from my invoicing.

Along with these performance issues, you can expect to be constantly spammed by them, asking you to take over your collections and let them charge and use their lap pay. As poor and problematic as the billing process is, I am unwilling to allow them to actually take over the added responsibility of credit cards and collections activities, given the even a greater exposure, lawyers face when using these features, for those of us that made the mistake of getting on this years ago, perhaps it’s worth continuing to struggle along, rather than have to deal with the transfer of data and processes. However, for a new user, looking for a solution, look for Cleo, or someone else that actually has basic functionality down.

### 2/5 — Not very good vs the web-based experience

*2020-10-26, version 3.0.9*

The app is incredibly clunky, and somehow still misses a lot of the good functionality of the web-based product. The only usefulness of this app is to enter time or expenses while you are away from your desk. Otherwise, it’s missing most of the invoicing, reporting, client/matter functions of the web product.

### 1/5 — Web Software is great. Recent App is TERRIBLE

*2020-03-28, version 3.0.8*

I’ve been a Bill4time customer for almost 6 years. Always pleased with the web-based software. The original app was clunky, but serviceable. They totally revamped the app recently and it is TERRIBLE. Every time you open the app, it downloads and Synchs all of your data—which takes forever. And I have lost data in the process. Unreliable app. 

The unnecessary syncing happens even if the timer is running on a matter and you reopen the app. It makes no sense and the app revision did not consider how the typical user actually uses the app. 

Customer support is very good. But they can’t fix the app.
