### 2/5 — Booooooo you got greedy

*2026-08-12, version 8.2.4*

Used this all for years but is now greedy I can’t log even one month before it asks me to pay

### 3/5 — Single user transfer

*2026-08-11, version 8.2.4*

For one person user it’s very easy, as long as the employee is trustworthy. Transferring to another user if the employee leaves is very difficult. I ended up buying another license for the new employee. Maybe it’s possible but it didn’t work when I tried it and now the employee is gone…

### 3/5 — 21 Days Available on Free Plan

*2026-08-06, version 8.2.4*

I work one job but don’t have the same hours each week and because I start at 6:45 vs 6, it can be annoying to manually calculate. I loved that this app did the math for me each week. Then I started getting ads and thought that’s fair, I didn’t want to pay for it so ads are a fair trade off. But then I get a notification that I can only log 21 days for free. Which is also fine because I work Monday to Friday and each month would be 20 days logged. So does the month not reset? Will be going back to manually calculating my hours each week.

### 2/5 — I love it, but a subscription

*2026-07-30, version 8.2.4*

Overall, I think this is a great timekeeping app lots of versatility lots of abilities, but I think it’s biggest downfall is that it’s prescription based

### 2/5 — Over far from accurate.

*2026-07-29, version 8.2.4*

Overtime doesn’t make sense

### 3/5 — Glb

*2026-06-08, version 8.2.4*

Best tracking app!

### 4/5 — Very Good App

*2026-06-08, version 8.2.4*

I been using this app for over 4 years now. Very accurate if you know the percentage in taxes they take out. I wished they could have one more deduction for union jobs that take out once a month it would help me and maybe other customers that have this app

*2026-05-27, version 8.2.4*

This little app is quite amazing. I use it for my home business and I’m not big enough to constitute online data storage but appreciate being able to use it anyway on my iPhone and iPad. It’s excellent.

### 3/5 — Geo reference

*2026-05-21, version 8.2.3*

Love all the features of the app. Easy to use. Would like to see the option of geo referencing the start and stop for jobs.

### 4/5 — Great App, But Poor Support

*2026-05-12, version 8.2.3*

Great app especially for tracking your wages in home care or other industries where wage theft is common. However, there are some bugs that force the app to close and break certain functionality (ie being able to input hourly wage) and Developers don’t respond to emails.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No long term functionality for free users

*2026-07-20, version 8.2.4*

Don’t waste your time unless you like paying subscriptions!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-13, version 8.2.4*

I’ve used this app for years. Recently got a new phone and disappointed to see that now I will get charged to use this app :(

### 1/5 — Getting disappointed with hour tracker.

*2026-06-16, version 8.2.4*

It does not log in automatically when I get to the job site.

### 1/5 — Hostage Ware

*2026-06-16, version 8.2.4*

Works pretty well but stops working after 21 days without a subscription. Old data is still accessible but nothing new can be added. No warning.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2026-04-22, version 8.2.1*

I recently went from Android to IPhone and I’m unable to retrieve my old account or sign in

### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-02-28, version 8.1.0*

47.99 for a year subscription? Why?

### 1/5 — Never used to be a subscription

*2026-02-26, version 8.1.0*

Just another example of how a company has a good app then made it a subscription out of greed. Would happily pay a one off fee

### 1/5 — Backup help!

*2026-02-24, version 8.1.0*

Manual backup doesn’t work for 3 days now. Need help!

### 1/5 — Good at everything but export.

*2026-02-14, version 8.1.0*

If your goal is to keep everything that you do on this app within this app then it's great but if your goal is to export the data that you collect with this app, you will be annoyed and disappointed. 

The way that it handles exports is very limited the format options also limited and it even lacks the ability to put out a clean simple text document.

The fact that this is incapable of pumping out a premade clean PDF is pretty baffling.   I actually don't understand the point of this app if it handles exporting the data that it collects so badly.

Until this app dev team decides to finally give good exporting tools and options this review will stay bad.

### 1/5 — You’ll loss your backup data if they update their subscription plan

*2026-01-09, version 8.1.0*

I few years I paid the lifetime subscription but the with new subscription plan, they removed automate backup— I lost my all data

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-27, version 8.3*

I like it very helpful tool

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-26, version 8.3*

I’ve been using this app to track time for years now and it is always reliable. Easy to use - highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Must have. For real

*2026-08-26, version 8.3*

I had it for 10 years plus. Must have.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-08-26, version 8.3*

I can track all my jobs

### 5/5 — User & easy friendly

*2026-08-22, version 8.3*

Love this app. It’s easy to use, they don’t mess with it by constantly updating it or by trying to make it aesthetically pleasing but making it super not user-friendly. 

I use it EVERYDAY for work. So the app is VERY user friendly! 

Soo glad I bought it. 

I do wish for two things, they either had a website or an easy way I could upload/save it to excel or Google Sheets and an options to make the font size bigger.  

I’m not that old but it seems with every iOS update the print on everything gets sooo small.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-12, version 8.2.4*

Highly recommend, use it all the time

### 5/5 — Basic version is great so had to get full version

*2026-07-27, version 8.2.4*

Love the app and going to start using again but even though the free and paid versions are great in their receptive areas. But there’s something I feel the app on both the phone and Apple Watch are missing something, but haven’t worn Apple Watch for sometime now, but looking forward to see if the developers added new features

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-21, version 8.2.4*

Hey, super great app tea breaker of your clock and clock out at work specially if you are a freelance and don’t have a system like regular payroll companies do very handy to have it on your phone.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2026-06-18, version 8.2.4*

Perfect if you work from home. Its hard to keep time accurate if your company only requires you to submit a timesheet but there is no clocking machine

### 5/5 — The wonder of HoursTracker

*2026-06-16, version 8.2.4*

This app has been great in almost every way. The ads are really annoying, especially since I’m from before they were a thing
