### 4/5 — Managing Partner

*2012-02-29, version 2.0.3*

Product is ok so far, but lacks security features of the full version making it almost impossible to share with staff who may not understand firm data metrics.  Would like for the time to be posted on the date it is entered into the ipad rather than changing the dates when you transfer at the server level.  If you don't transfer and update on the same day as the time is entered, the dates change?  What's up with that?  Then you have to go in and edit every single entry.  For example, I like to enter my time at night while watching TV.  Even though I generally transmit that night, when I go to the integrated entries to finalize the transfer the following day, the dates are tomorrow's date.  Will continue to monitor progress.  Still a fan of anything that is going to make my life easier/ more instantaneous on the road or via a mobile device!

### 3/5 — Managing Partner

*2012-02-22, version 2.0.3*

Easy to use, when it works. Keeps disconnecting from the server. They say there are still "bugs to work out".

### 4/5 — Okay but could be better

*2012-01-30, version 2.0.3*

Okay but could be better.

### 4/5 — CS Mobile

*2011-12-27, version 2.0.2*

Good start. I like it so far but I would like to be able to access more info.

### 4/5 — Help on the go.

*2011-08-23, version 2.0.0*

Taking my Practice on the road is helpful for connecting with clients on the go and knowing the volume of activity for each. It would be great if it could have some more flexibility in the reporting choices, but the standard reports are pretty good.

### 3/5 — Nice Beginning

*2011-07-10, version 2.0.0*

I am using the app in a iPhone 3GS and have found the time entry handy. I would like to see the mileage tracker more robust and the client phone call timer quicker. Looking forward to the next version and an iPhone5.

### 4/5 — Good start

*2011-06-17, version 2.0.0*

Need a iPad version, but a great start. Can not wait to see what is in the next update.

### 4/5 — Great start to a great app

*2011-06-05, version 2.0.0*

Started using this app thinking it was just a novelty. Boy was I wrong! Fantastic tool to keep up with clients. Love the "Clients Near Me" feature. Would really like to see the calendar which is a very big missing piece.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2019-11-05, version 2.2.1*

The app used to work well, but over the last 4 weeks, it’s slow and each step takes time to load. It’s too inefficient to use unless you have something else to do between each step.

### 1/5 — Too complicated

*2018-02-01, version 2.2.0*

I wanted to create a simple appointment app to create my own tax preparer company.  I can’t figure out how to remove the set staff and can’t seem how to get my own clients into your system.  I don’t believe this is a user friendly app. Yuck

### 1/5 — Needs bidirectional support

*2015-08-30, version 2.1.0*

This app should allow notes to be added to the client. So, it's not of much use. I don't think this app has been updated in a long time. No money I guess.

### 1/5 — Second version is better

*2011-05-29, version 2.0.0*

The second version is better with the ability to keep time. Sure would be nice if it was properly designed for iPad. You can't use the Knowledge base on iPad because the resolution is terrible at 2X.

### 2/5 — Update to current app

*2017-07-06, version 2.1.0*

It would be nice to have the app updated. It's not compatible with the latest version of iOS. Every time you try to open it, you get a message that it may slow down your phone.

### 2/5 — MobileCS - a start but needs more

*2011-09-27, version 2.0.0*

Great start to a great program, but need an iPad version. So much potential but currently the opportunity is being wasted... Would like to also see the timer functions work absent of continous Internet service and sync up when back in a wifi or Internet service.

### 2/5 — Ok app

*2011-08-25, version 2.0.0*

It's okay, not great. All I really want is a timer that syncs back in the office. This timer requires too much entry to be useful.

### 2/5 — Needs UltraTax

*2010-11-01, version 0*

For those of us using NetFirm, let's see Ultra Tax available via this app also!

### 3/5 — Update?

*2014-02-16, version 2.0.3*

For the 5... any time now?

### 3/5 — Great App

*2012-05-24, version 2.0.3*

This app works great. It would be nice to get a version for the iPad however.

### 5/5 — Great app that pays for itself!

*2015-01-19, version 2.1.0*

In one week I found enough extra billable time by using this to pay for it for a couple of years. I have used other apps but then you still have to get them into Practice by re-entering them. One thing to improve would be the timer function. It's great to just tap and start timing but it would be nice to go ahead and enter the billing info during the timing instead of after you are through.  Other than that I love it.

### 5/5 — Good

*2012-09-06, version 2.0.3*

Need an iPad version ASAP!

### 5/5 — Best mobile app!!

*2012-05-14, version 2.0.3*

Can't wait to see all the new features in the next release!

### 5/5 — Great features -very useful

*2011-06-14, version 2.0.0*

I really like the project tracking feature and being able to see relevant client info on the go is handy. 

New features are great too.

### 5/5 — Demo Data

*2010-08-28, version 0*

Great Demo! Looking forward to working with firm data

### 4/5 — Owner of small CPA firm

*2019-07-28, version 2.2.1*

I find this app gives me critical information regarding accounts receivable and production information at a glance.  I also like the way I can start a work timer and keep up with mileage that synchronizes with our Thomson Reuters time and billing system - Practice CS. The client contact information with maps is another benefit I use a good bit.

### 4/5 — CPA

*2013-01-10, version 2.0.3*

Just started using app.  Very impressed. Anxious to see how it interfaces with Creative Solutions. Very intuitive.

### 4/5 — Good app. When is the update coming?

*2012-11-17, version 2.0.3*

Really need to see 24 period report like in desktop dashboards and be able to see details of totals in reports.

### 4/5 — Solid start

*2012-04-25, version 2.0.3*

It's a big start into the mobile world. Sure I want more features and I am very confident that TR is working on them.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2012-03-22, version 2.0.3*

I love this app!  Any chance you will add the ability to add notes to clients and possibly the ability to modify projects (add, complete etc). That would ,
Make this app nearly perfect!  This has been great for me because I am out of the office a lot and its nice to have this information at my finger tips!
