Stopped working

Used HourBill successfully for years and love it. Safly, with the recent iPhone update it stopped working so I’ve lost my Feb 24 data.
Will need to reinstall the app and start fresh.

rashes immediately on opening/ no response from support team

i have used Hourbill for many years but it has suddenly stopped-it crashes as soon as try to open it. not having backed up for a long time ( yes mea culpa) i’m in a bad situation so far as accounting to my clients for time spent. worse is that none of my emails to tour jupier have been replied to despite my malachi showing they have been opened. their website has no phone number

Doesn’t work anymore

I had used this app for years to bill bookkeeping clients and loved it. Now, the app won’t even open. Please fix the bug!

App stopped working without notice-lost hours

The app won’t even open now on my new Iphone, everything else opens fine. I tried reinstalling the app, making sure the latest update was installed, restarting it. I’ve lost all my hours for the month for the companies I work for, did the same thing to my daughter a couple months ago. Not impressed! I have no other record of the hours I had worked for these companies. Do not chance it!

Doesn’t work with system upgrade

I’ve use this app for quite a few years. However, with the upgrade to iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, it doesn’t seem to work. The app opens and then closes immediately afterwards. It’s a shame, because I really liked this app and would like to continue to use it..

Hourbill

I have been using this app for 9 years and is the only invoice app I use works wonder , my x boss three years ago just called me to ask me the program I was using . Download the free version an you won’t be disappointed :)

Billing is a breeze!

I used to record my billable time in my calendar, now I just email it.

Great app

I've had 3 different jobs that I've used this app for (including 2 at the same time). It's made it very easy to keep hours straight and my bosses have found it very easy to pay me and keep time records from the export feature. One of the best app purchases I've made.

Backup stopped working

I've used this app for a long time, but they never incorporated my suggestion / need to have sub-projects or sub categories. The last month, the backup to Google servers stopped working, meaning all my data is at risk if something happens to my phone! Am going to get a different app.

Used to be easy, now just confusing

Good luck figuring this app. It used to be easy and intuitive. Now it is a struggle to figure out their cumbersome UI. Not to mention they took the same app and upgraded to make it fee oriented when the same key features were free before. I don't mind paying to get more, but paying to restore capabilities is a bait and switch.

All you need

Doug from Jupiter gives a quick response to email questions. App does everything I need it to.

Architect using for billing

Been using this app for 3 years now and love it. It takes a little while to understand all the features, but I keep track of my time, costs, etc. and send invoices to clients from my phone. It saved me in times when clients ask for detailed recaps on time expended.

Excellent

As a building professional there are occasions when it is required to use the 'time and materials' format. Traditionally I would always forget a few hours here and there as I don't always carry my note pad. I do however
always carry my phone and to input is so simple and handy it blows my mind. Probably the most valuable $5 bucks I ever spent. Try it for free - you can't go wrong!!

Time Saver!

Being a consultant and working for myself HourBill has saved me SO much time and is easy to use. The developer has always always been quick in response when I have had a question (I am technically challenged). It is the best $4.99 you will ever spend!

Lawyer

A great app. I use this to time record on client matters and it can't be beaten.

Best app for business

I love how this app simplified my paperwork, tracking customers, and invoicing. The developers are very responsive and helpful. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Excellent and getting better all the time

I have been using this app since it was introduced, it does an excellent job of keeping track the hours and expenses for multiple projects.
The recent addition of a calendar makes it even more useful.
Recommend it very highly.

Not intuitive & no instructions

I'm getting ready to start billing my time. I'm not an accountant and frankly could have used real instructions. Not simplistic help screen that state what a field is!

I can't figure out what "phrases" as in the app it appears in a few places, and what I enter never appears in the same place... How about the "append" button? Append to what? Doesn't seem to do much.

Most annoying is invoices. I saw the button I email it, but can't figure out how it happened!!! I open an invoice and see nothing of its content and am not given options to email it.

On the bright side, the timer works well but could use a "pause" for breaks". Presenting rates an smallest time unit is good as well as hourly rate for client/task. If I can make it work and generate email able invoices, it will be handy (specially using the time stamp for tasks), but the jury is out.

My frustration may win on this one as I'm starting to look at other solutions rather than paying for this app. :o(

Good app.

All in all this is a great little app. It does most of what I want it for. It is clear and straight forward to use. Worth upgrading to allow more accounts and keep a history. I have a number of different accounts and it allows me to keep a simple log of hours and charge rate. But........ It could do with a few tweaks to make it perfect.
- allow logo upload or business name on print out / email for a more pro look.
- the ability to charge a day rate to each customer would be most useful.

But please don't go and over complicate the app. It's simplicity is what makes it so useable and a great app.

Medical time billing made easy

As a physician who has several contract jobs that require keeping up with the minutes I spend working for them I have had difficulty keeping a detailed record until I found HourBill. Now I can make a quick note of any services provided and have it ready to email at the end of every month. The ability to archive my records and back them up is very important for me. I even keep some personal accounts of people I need to pay for various services which helps me keep up with such expenses.
