### 4/5 — Ugh  (Excellent!)

*2026-07-11, version 3.5.3*

9/22/16: Previously loved this app but the latest update is horrible. Buggy. Overall tracking bar is missing time entered. When changing timers the screen will flicker. Just a bad update. Old review: This is the best work hour tracking app that I have found. Update: the more I use it the better I like it! 06/03/24: still think this is the best app for tracking hours.
7/10/25: bugs have been fixed. Back to being a very good app for free.
7/11/26: works great for my needs.

### 4/5 — Great for me

*2026-05-28, version 3.5.3*

Being a consulting engineer i have from 1 to 10 projects in the air all of the time.  I spent a few hours making mistakes which were my fault but having used this software for over two years, i just love it.  I don't have to generate my daily activities at the end of the day, notes are always there and i don't miss billing hours.  Again, this app is a great way for me to keep real track of my time and in the correct catagory.

### 4/5 — Will be perfect when they add  some WatchOs widgets

*2026-02-24, version 3.5.3*

The app is so simple to use and that is what makes it great! I don’t want to time track if it’s a pain in the butt. This app makes it simple. The main improvement would be adding a full widget suite for iOS and watchOS. Especially would LOVE if my watch face could show the current running timer right there on the main watch screen that would be a killer feature. right now you can set the icon as part of the Watch interface, but that’s all it is is an icon that allows you to click launch the app. Really want full integration with the watch face please consider and thank you very much.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-02, version 3.5.3*

A good motivational app.

### 5/5 — Einfach und flexibel

*2026-01-11*

Super App, um schnell und unkompliziert seine Zeitaufwände festzuhalten. Und wenn mal vergessen, geht der Nachtrag auch ganz leicht.

### 4/5 — Perfect Time Tracker!

*2026-01-09, version 3.5.3*

I absolutely love this app! I’ve been using it for a few years now and no other time tracker is as efficient as this!

### 5/5 — Hours App

*2026-01-02, version 3.5.3*

Like it a lot. Very easy to use. If I make a mistake it’s very easy to correct it also.

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2025-12-08*

Appli utilise des puis des années pour faire des suivi de temps de travail 
Quelques améliorations pourrait permettre d aller chercher 5 étoiles

### 2/5 — No overlapping time option

*2025-11-19, version 3.5.3*

I use this for personal time keeping, doesn’t allow for multiple tasks to be done at the same time which doesn’t make sense?

### 5/5 — Great Time Capture App

*2025-11-11, version 3.5.3*

I was among the original subscribers of the app when it first launched. I have since used other time-keeping apps to track my billable hours each day; I’ve always returned to this app for its simplicity, ease of use, and seamless ability to sync across my desktop, tablets and phones.

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2025-10-30, version 3.5.3*

This app is simple but works great. I just needed a tool to keep track of my work hours. It’s easy to set up and use and has support across all my devices (laptop, phone, watch). Great job!

### 5/5 — Using the App for more than 2 years

*2025-10-24, version 3.5.5*

This tool has proved indispensable. The cross platform capabilities are amazing. I can record hours on a project on the fly on my phone or iPad, or on my laptop. Reporting is simple. A real boon for those who have multiple clients and need detailed notes. There was a blip a year ago, but they fixed it. Excellent product.

### 5/5 — Simple, Fast, Convenient

*2025-10-21, version 3.5.3*

The app is intuitive and works great.

### 5/5 — Mon appli essentielle pour le travail

*2025-09-21, version 3.5.3*

J’adore ! Je ne m’en passerai plus !

### 5/5 — Very happy with the app.

*2025-09-16, version 3.5.3*

I use the free version only as I need to track my time over only 5 or 6 ongoing projects. It is easy to use. This works very well for me. The flexibility is adequate for my limited needs.

### 4/5 — Pas très loin d’être parfaitement simple

*2025-08-27*

J’utilise Hours depuis de nombreuses années. A mes yeux, l’app remplit l’essentiel = mesurer son temps projet par projet. On peut évidemment complexifier l’outil mais je pense qu’on risque, alors, de s’y noyer. C’est multi-appareil, ça se synchronise et à la fin il est facile de consulter la volumétrie temps projet par projet.

### 5/5 — Good free option for simple time tracking.

*2025-08-25, version 3.5.3*

I use this to motivate myself to work, especially when I need to work on several very different areas at a time. It does a good job at that. Would consider paying if I need more complex tracking

### 4/5 — Reports/emailing issues

*2025-08-04, version 3.5.3*

Can’t get email of csv for reports to work. Workaround of using web portal is ok, but adds steps

### 1/5 — Privacy Concerns and Forced Registration

*2026-06-26, version 3.5.3*

I can’t recommend this app. Being forced to create an account before even being allowed to try it is unacceptable. I’m honestly disgusted by that approach—users should be able to evaluate basic functionality before handing over their personal information.

To make matters worse, the Terms of Service reference a Privacy Policy that leads to a broken page, making it impossible to review how personal data is handled before signing up. That’s a serious transparency issue for a time-tracking app. Until this is fixed, I won’t be using it.

### 1/5 — Be transparent

*2025-08-11, version 3.5.3*

Should advise that free version is only 5 timers. 
It started out great….

### 1/5 — Can’t use it-useless

*2025-06-18, version 3.5.3*

Can’t connect to account, « forgot password » feature pops up an error code every time. Completely useless. Can’t create new account either.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t track my time with this app

*2024-04-13, version 3.5.3*

I had two timers. I deleted both and had no timers. I tapped “Add timer” and was told I had reached my limit of free timers. But I had no timers at all. So, I just wasn’t able to use the app.

### 1/5 — Awful Customer Service! Choose A Better Time Tracker

*2024-02-27, version 3.5.5*

These days, a service is only as good as their customer service. Regrettably, the customer service for this app is horrible. They are scammy and refuse to respond to reasonable requests. Don't give them your credit card information, and do not trust them. A competitor with better support would do you much better.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - CHOOSE ANY OTHER APP

*2024-02-16, version 3.5.3*

Completely spammy customer service, refused to refund me when I asked for cancellation ONE DAY after I cancelled. Increase their prices without warning. Do not use this service - you’ll be much better off with one that has quality customer service. I can’t express enough how much you should avoid this app.

### 1/5 — It WAS brilliant

*2024-01-16, version 3.5.3*

I used this app regularly a few years ago. However, now it is impossible to use without creating an account.

### 1/5 — Useless for shift work.

*2023-01-04, version 3.5.3*

Some shifts i do are overnight and some times i have two different shifts on one day. 

This apps defaults cant handle a shift over two days, deleted. This makes two

### 1/5 — Another subscription

*2022-11-19, version 3.5.3*

Another app moving to a subscription based model despite nothing in it worth a yearly fee.

### 1/5 — Good on other versions.

*2022-09-15, version 3.5.5*

This Mac version doesnt seem to be maintained. Apparantly the last software patch was supposed to stop the app freezing on log in. It has been over a year since and it still does this

### 5/5 — Tracking multiple projects and people with Hours

*2026-06-23, version 3.5.3*

I’ve been using the app for several years now and it’s been great. Low cost, high value app to track across multiple clients.

### 5/5 — Best Time Capture App (Esp. for Lawyers)

*2026-06-18, version 3.5.3*

I was among the original subscribers of the app when it first launched. I have since used other time-keeping apps to track my billable hours each day; I’ve always returned to this app for its simplicity, ease of use, and seamless ability to sync across my desktop, tablets and phones. I finally learned my lesson and have quit trying other apps …. you simply can’t improve on perfection!

### 5/5 — Easy and does what you want

*2026-05-19, version 3.5.3*

Easy and does what you want

### 5/5 — jkimaplc

*2026-04-09, version 3.5.3*

Easy to use and dependable.  No glitches ever.

### 5/5 — Time recording for Freelancers

*2026-04-02, version 3.5.3*

I LOVE it! I researched four of these time recording aps and have deleted the other three as they are too complicated or just don’t work. I have 9 clients and this app really helps me get accurate with billing them for the time i spend, however short or long. Excellent app and I subscribed to it a few years ago.They also have customer support if you need it.

### 5/5 — Огонь

*2026-03-19*

Все считаю, удобно выявлять сколько трачу на каждую задачу

### 5/5 — Great time tracker

*2026-03-08, version 3.5.3*

It is easy to use and customize to your needs.

*2026-02-24, version 3.5.3*

I have tried multiple apps and this one ability to seamless sync across all Apple products makes me stick with it

### 5/5 — If it works it works

*2026-02-04, version 3.5.3*

Super useful, functional, and helpful.
