I've been using it for several years and recommend it to other small business owners all the time. ### 3/5 — Room for improvement *2017-01-06, version 1.8.6* For $10 app is ok, but should be way better. Would be nice if I could take a picture of a receipt and attach it as an expense. Kind of pointless filling out a expense report when I can't attach a pic to it for proof. Also it would be nice to use gps to track mileage instead of entering odometer reading. It would be nice if I could just enter a job site and click time to start tracking time and also be able to click mileage to start tracking mileage instead of having to enter everything individually. ### 4/5 — Like *2017-01-02, version 1.8.6* This works well, is easy to use, and meets most of my needs. ### 4/5 — Attorney *2016-08-03, version 1.8.4* Program was by far better than any mileage, time, or expense tracker I had used. The only issue I have is that when its emailed to someone it doesn't appear the same as shown. I would like a pdf format. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2015-11-20, version 1.8.4* This is a great App. Makes tracking of time & mileage very easy. Will also track expenses but I don't have a need for that part. Makes great reports also. ### 5/5 — Time, Expense, Mileage Tracking and Reporting made simple *2015-11-11* I've been using this app for about 2 years. I'm a technology consultant that deals with multiple clients. TDF Tracker is so incredibly easy to use. The report function provides the right details that my clients need to see to support my invoices. I also have done some general construction contracting on the side and was able to track my workers time and produce reports that supported what their pay was for the week. My wife uses it in the role of paid trustee of a trust to support her billing for time, expenses and mileage. A very, very versatile application. Best of all, their is no online service that you need to pay a monthly fee for like most of the other time tracking options. If your an individual that just needs to track your own time and expenses or just a few other people, this is a GREAT way to go. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2015-11-10* I have been looking for an app to do what this one does for a long time. It's simple yet powerful and the interface is fairly intuitive. If you have multiple clients, with multiple projects or jobs and several tasks for each and need to track time, expenses and mileage then look no further. Yes, the app is 10 bucks, but if you miss billing or getting reimbursed for 20 miles, one lunch or an hour of work, you've lost more than that. The reports are clean, well laid out and have the option to preview before submitting or printing. The app also links to Dropbox for backup. I've had probably 10 other apps trying to find one as perfect. Save yourself time and frustration and look no further than here. ### 4/5 — Very Serviceable App *2015-11-06, version 1.8.4* I've tried numerous time tracking apps, and found Time Tracker to be the most useful and easy to use. I don't need complex tracking; as a consultant, my primary need is keeping up with billable hours. Time Tracker does this simply without a lot of folderol. ### 5/5 — Great App / Everyday user *2015-06-24, version 1.8.3* Yes, this is a great app that I personally use everyday. ### 5/5 — I depend heavily on this app *2015-06-09, version 1.8.3* I'm a small business owner who bills for my time. I also have to track mileage. This app makes those things very easy. It works well and has become part of my life. ### 5/5 — Lifesaver for small business or road warrior *2015-06-01, version 1.8.3* This app is a must have for anybody that owns their own small business or that must turn in expense accounts. It would be nice if you could attach an hourly rate, but this isn't an accounting app, it is the best tracking app I have seen. Thanks for simplifying my life with one less headache! ### 5/5 — Best time tracker ever *2015-05-18, version 1.8.3* I have been using TDF tracker for over 3 years now. It is the best by far. Takes 20 minutes to setup and get your head around. I have tried at least 10 other time management apps. This one covers expenses, mileage, and much more. Dropbox backup makes it safe too. ### 5/5 — Parfait!! *2015-02-16, version 1.8.3* Cette application est parfaite pour mes besoins de gestion de temps. Bravo et Merci!!! ### 5/5 — Time tracker *2014-12-18, version 1.8.3* Super program. Used daily to keep track of jobs, expenses, milage. At the end of the day or end of week I can send a full report to the office and they love it. Just wish they had a section for monies received. Other than that it's perfect. ### 5/5 — Simple, straightforward and FAST *2014-10-01, version 1.8* I’ve been using it for about 3 years for consulting, and absolutely love it. It’s a perfect on-the-go quick time-entry system with effective UI, ease of backup and emailable reports that come in .csv for easy importing. For the cheap price, it’s literally paid for itself thousands of times over. ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-09-28, version 1.7.1* I was looking for a simple app the can be used to track time and expenses for multiple projects. This app does a great job. Very easy to use. I have recommended it to many of my coworkers. If it had the ability to link to a receipt image it would be perfect. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Getting sick of problems. *2018-06-01* I’ve been using this app for a number of years, and it’s been alright. The last few months, when I enter information into these windows, be it notes, set the time, or name a task. As soon as I right aero out to the day showing jobs, then click back to that job I manipulated. It doesn’t save the information. In most cases if I have a lot of notes to enter. If I don’t block that information and copy it before exiting out to go to another job. I have to rewrite all I just entered. I’ve recommended this app to a lot of people. If that frustrating addition to this app isn’t solved, I’ll be forced to delete it forever. ### 1/5 — Trying to make this work *2017-07-03, version 1.8.6* I have worked with this app and asked for support, but in my opinion, I have not received any support nor can I figure out how to use it based on what it claimed to be "simple". I thought I could have an app that I could simply put a client's name in and another client's name and at the end of the month give each client a printout of the work I have done, not so, it may be there, but their are no instructions or help from the developer, I will pass on this app. ### 1/5 — Director of Operations *2017-05-15, version 1.8.6* I wish I could get my money back. I don't like it. You can't add details so your expense is complete. Like hourly rate ### 1/5 — no longer works with IOS8 *2014-09-23, version 1.7.1* Used to be a great app but no longer works properly with the iOS 8 upgrade please fix !!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't keep track of hourly totals *2014-03-22, version 1.7.1* Doesn't keep track of hourly totals ### 1/5 — Incomplete *2013-02-09, version 1.6.1* This is the most expensive and incomplete expense app I have purchased. It does not provide the amount of mileage expense owed for a trip, ie, .55, .14, etc, so I bought Biz Tracker which was almost half the price and provides what I need. ### 2/5 — Very limited reporting *2013-09-01, version 1.7* The reporting ability is very limited. An excel report with blank lines between every data line???? Give me a break. Expect to do lots of pivot table work in excel if u want to use the data. ### 2/5 — App crashes on iPhone 5 *2013-04-11, version 1.6.1* I would give you guys a 5 star if I was using an iPhone 4/4s but this app crashes every other time on iPhone 5, I think that an app that cost almost $10 needs more updates, don't you think? I bought this app when I had my iPhone 4s, I still need it on my iPhone 5... Either update it or give me my money back... ### 2/5 — Great design, but no integration? *2011-08-21, version 1.6* After reading all the rave reviews, I thought this app would give me exactly what I needed. Sure, it cost a bit more than some of the other time tracking apps out there, but surely the slight difference in cost was reflective of the usefulness of the app? Yes, you can enter hours worked. Yes, you can enter mileage and other expenses. But there is no way to set up a job at a billable rate and have the app do all the calculations for you. How was this overlooked? I want to be able to set up time with an hourly cost associated with that time, so that (as a contract designer) I can easily start and stop the time I work on a project, as well as how much that billable time adds up to. I'd also prefer to have a choice of views, such as by client or project, not just by date. Until these crucial pieces are integrated, I cannot in good conscious recommend this app or give it the 5 stars I'm sure the developers deserve for their hard work. ### 2/5 — Not for the professional *2010-10-10, version 0* This app does not provide even a moderately good way to keep client information: no connection to contacts; couldn't even edit an entry; I could, interestingly enough, delete a client that I had time info for. This indicates a rather crude data system underneath. I'll switch to On Core Time Master, which is cheaper but far more professionally developed. Of course having forked over the cash for this one I'm effectively paying $18 for it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Definite recommend *2026-07-09* Using this app for 10 years. Still love it. Makes getting my info to my accountant at tax time so easy! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-19* Best app for keeping track of time, mileage and expenses ### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect *2023-06-10* I have used this app for over 13 years (I think). It has been perfect for tracking all my time for various projects for clients. I thought I deleted it recently but thankfully I did not. I say why fix something that is not broken! Thank you for this straight forward application. ### 5/5 — Attorney *2022-07-20* I’m enjoying this app so far. Very helpful maintaining exact times for clients that question time ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2021-09-18, version 1.8.8* This app has an efficient and well designed user Interface. It’s customizable to allow for client lists and common tasks. Data entry is fast. Also has a good automatic backup to Dropbox, and exports to spreadsheets. I’ve been using it for years, for mileage, expenses, and time, and it has worked flawlessly. No strings attached, unlike most of the other apps in this category. ### 5/5 — Elegant Simplicity *2017-08-20, version 1.8.6* I have had this app for 3 years. I am an independent self employed contractor. I remodel kitchens and baths, but this app would cover me if I was a lawyer, a seamstress or if I had a Kool- aid stand on the corner. It is easy to use and RELIABLE. Recently I was going to switch over to the android world, the perfect time to do it with a broken iPhone. I ordered a replacement and set out to find replacement apps while I waited for the new phone to arrive. I was astonished to find that the android world has nothing to offer that combines 1. Tracking Time 2. Tracking expenses. 3. Nicely formatted reports. 4. Support for Dropbox "backup on close". 5. A sensible one time fee for purchase without restrictions. The reliability is important because there is nothing quite as expensive as a program like this that forgets, hours, days, or weeks of your time. When I use this, my routine is to look at my watch and survey the job site, customers mood, chit chat, review. I finally strap on the work belt and at some point I remember to "clock -in". I open the program and verify the day at the top (there is a "today" button that will jump you from your last use). I select add entry select time and then if I want I can modify the start time to recapture some portion of my actual arrival time. Hit the start button, and then you can confidently close the app knowing that you are on the clock. A little red ball indicator appears on the app icon on the opening screen indicating that your clock is running. Incidentally, park this app on the opening screen and every time you turn on the phone you will see it. As I go through the day I add expenses. This involves manual entry. There isn't a camera app for taking Picts of the receipt. I have mixed feelings about whether that would be an enhancement or encumbrance. Of course at the end of the day I can punch out on the clock . It is adjustable to account for lots of things that require adjustment after the fact. The app gets closed and the days data is automagically sent to the clouds, Dropbox in my case. Reports are the combination of time and expense and can be emailed in PDF format. I mail it to my self, and copy and paste it into an invoice for the customer as a detailed summary. Customers seem to like the level of detail and usually that translates into quick payment. That's the end goal of all of this - payment for your time and effort. This program keeps stuff from falling through the cracks. Amazon graciously agreed to take back the unopened Android and I ended up getting the old iPhone repaired . A little bit of serenity has returned to my life, all because of this elegantly simple app. ### 5/5 — A life savor *2017-08-06, version 1.8.6* I like this application very much as it saves me a lot of time and trouble of trying to remember and record all expenses. I recommended it to several people and everyone is using it and is very happy. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-01-04, version 1.8.6* I am an independent Business Coach. This app is excellent for keeping track of time spent with each Client. The reporting is professional enough that I share with my clients. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-10-28, version 1.8.6* This app is very flexible in keeping track of your work time by client and project. Handles expense tracking well also. ### 5/5 — Simple But Powerdul *2016-01-08* Have this app for many years. This is the time tracking app that fits my needs completely. I would go try some new and fancy apps. Then, always come back to this app because the other apps make time entries a lot more complicated then it needs to be. What I love the most about this app is its simplicity. But it has all the advanced features that I need: timers, tracking client, project, and tasks. And expense tracking (although I don't use it often). Also the ability to email and print reports. And it's the only app I've tried that lets me set decimal places for hours. The other apps only go to 0.25 for example. This app lets you set it to rounding to 0.3 (because this is the way our work time entry system would accept). Some request: Please make it easier to edit Client, Project, and Task lists. In fact, I have no way of "editing" except to add a new one and delete the old one. Also it would be nice to clock in and out at the home page where the lists of entries are.
