### 4/5 — Review!

*2024-04-14, version 1.7.10*

I enjoy and need this app! Thank you for making it! Please keep it current and useful!

### 4/5 — Work

*2024-01-15, version 1.7.10*

Very very right at your finger ☝tips don't have to on the back of my paper schedule day off 😱😱

### 4/5 — Holidays

*2023-12-12, version 1.7.10*

Please add all holidays for instance Juneteenth is now a federal holiday and I have to manually input it. Otherwise app is great!!!

### 3/5 — This was a good app till I upgraded my ISO

*2022-11-27, version 1.7.10*

I upgraded to iso 16 and the app won’t open any more. I see this app hasn’t been upgraded for several years. I sure hope all of my tracking for the year isn’t lost.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2021-11-15, version 1.7.10*

Very handy little app.

### 4/5 — Highly recommend

*2021-01-31, version 1.7.10*

Very easy to use. Nicely designed, organized and detailed when using.

### 3/5 — Used to work

*2019-11-13, version 1.7.10*

I’ve used this for years. Now it doesn’t seem to add the days automatically. I can still add them manually though. I think the app has been abandoned by the developer.

### 3/5 — So so app

*2019-04-29, version 1.7.10*

I want to like this. I want it to calculate my vacation & sick leave correctly. It just doesn’t.

### 4/5 — Time Tracker

*2018-08-26, version 1.7.10*

I love this app. I think it needs to give us more options on the days we accumulate. Like weekly, or accumulate weekdays like Thursday or Friday. It’s a bit limited but overall it’s a great app. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Needs a refresh

*2018-05-15, version 1.7.10*

The functionality is great, but the app needs a refresh. Also, cloud sync and the ability to change the color for the leave categories would be great.

### 2/5 — Vacation

*2017-09-09, version 1.7.10*

Don't like that you have to record vacation day by day. Cannot record an entire week at once. Instead have to record 5 separate entries

### 5/5 — Leave & Sick Tracking

*2017-07-16, version 1.7.10*

I use this to keep up with my payroll department. Make sure my leave and sick days are correct. Employees track and record leave. Need to know they do entries correctly.

### 4/5 — KD

*2017-06-18, version 1.7.10*

Very useful to people who have several different types of days they can use to take off. Vacation time, sick time, personal time or time owed. You can keep track of every minute

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-06-13, version 1.7.10*

Very helpful!

### 3/5 — No   on badge icon

*2017-05-03, version 1.7.9*

Please fix this. Sent two emails but no response.

### 4/5 — I like it!

*2017-04-28, version 1.7.9*

I like this app very much! Its only inconvenience for me is that it expresses time in fractions and my employer expresses time in hours:minutes. When the update comes that accommodates that issue I'll add a fifth star.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awesome App BUT

*2022-11-30, version 1.7.10*

Worked like a champ for many years but updated to the new IOS and it doesn’t work at all.  App won’t even open anymore.

### 1/5 — Complete garbage

*2018-03-15, version 1.7.10*

Don’t waste your money, it’s real garbage. Use simple spreadsheet, it’s way more reliable

### 1/5 — Waisted money

*2018-01-21, version 1.7.10*

This app doesn’t work. I’ve tried dozens of time to and days off.  Out of the 8 days only 1 of them actually would add.  Please save your money, and more importantly save your sanity

### 1/5 — Poorly written

*2017-02-25, version 1.7.7*

It's buggy at best. Doesn't show details clear. Waste of money.  It has great potential but I don't think I will stick around for that.

### 1/5 — Very frustrating

*2015-04-10, version 1.7.5*

I thought this app would be helpful but after only a few hours of using it, I'm frustrated that it's not translating my days off and instead is confusing it with hours. I've had to re-input my information several times and I'm just about to give up because it deletes my information each time.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2014-09-25, version 1.7.5*

DO NOT BUY - None of the buttons are sticky, I tried numerous times to make my time off read as days, app keeps reverting back to hours.  I could go on, but I'm too frustrated to think I’ve wasted my money on this app.  Save your money; don't buy...

### 1/5 — Limited Features

*2013-07-19, version 1.7.3*

You can only enter leave hours one day at a time.  I wish I could enter a date range for my vacation or sick hours.  If you enter your time off hours in advance it will screw up the actual available leave hours total.  This app does not calculate accrued vacation or sick leave hours per pay period to avoid a negative leave balance for leave time entered in advance.

### 1/5 — Unable to use!!

*2012-06-11, version 1.7.1*

Just bought the app last week and my Time has accrued automatically; 13 times in 2 days and I have it set to once per week. In app notifications are beginning to annoy me. The concept is great but not working as it should; shame. Also, would be great if it showed future time off as planned or reserved time off rather than taking the hours the moment you set it up in your calendar. That way you can log hours accurately until time comes; Hours/days should not be deducted until the first day of your vacation arrives.

### 1/5 — toolkit

*2012-01-20, version 1.7*

waste of money

### 1/5 — Re

*2011-11-01, version 1.6.3*

This app has potential but needs work first. Can't put in a weeks annual leave .. Have to put day in individually. Doesn't cater for flexible working .. I do 37.5 hrs per week but on flexi. Not impressed.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-08-22, version 1.7.10*

I can enter different categories of time and take full or half days off.  Plus add future days and it shows me the days chronologically so I can see they are scheduled time.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2023-07-17*

My company just changed our benefit time from giving it all at one time to earning some each pay period. I was having such a hard time figuring out if I would have enough time to take days off. This is the easiest app I found for tracking my PTO hours. I would definitely recommend this app especially if you get your time the way I do now.

### 5/5 — Best app out there for leave

*2022-12-14, version 1.7.10*

This is the best app for leave that I have used so far. Very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-12, version 1.7.10*

Been using it for 10 years. It’s the only app that I still have since my first iPhone 3g.

### 5/5 — Heff

*2019-06-05, version 1.7.10*

Love this app!   I can easily keep track of my time off.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2019-05-31, version 1.7.10*

Does everything I need it to do and is simple to set up.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-02-09, version 1.7.10*

This over all the Internet websites is the best app for actually tracking your leave time customizable to how it is accumulated and used.  HIGHLY recommended.

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2018-08-06, version 1.7.10*

This helps me keep up with my leave alongside my employer. Does exactly what's it's supposed to do.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2017-08-02, version 1.7.10*

Saved my tail from loosing a lot of time.

### 5/5 — Set it up and that's it.

*2017-07-18, version 1.7.10*

I track my sick, vacation and comp time. Initial set up is easy, then you just watch the hours roll in. Very helpful.
