Works very well to keep invoices simple 
Relevant days work sent separately to clients to back up invoices 
Great app. I’ve used for many years

**Developer response:** Many thanks for your review. Much appreciated.

### 1/5 — Disappointed didn’t work for my job

*2023-10-31*

Not manny options sorry I paid for this delete

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-06-12*

A faff to set up & I nearly gave up but once it’s set up for your personal needs it’s brilliant. Developer answered email quickly and was prepared to help. If I was to make a suggestion, perhaps a tutorial video in the public domain may negate initial confusion for those of us unfamiliar with setting up from scratch? Nonetheless excellent working hours diary tracker

### 5/5 — Great app but need some improvement.

*2021-12-08, version 1.5.3*

I use it for construction. And many times I write down the work category it say: Code already exists. Cause I have hundreds. So can you add option to keep it this code. So much time to find sometimes the existing one.  And it will be nice if I can past pic at note section. I will really appreciate it. Or If you make a pro max version with those improvements I will happy to pay for it.

### 1/5 — No iPad support

*2020-01-25*

Bought this app thinking it would be a good purchase for my work but It doesn't support iPad very well at all would like to be able to use this app in landscape.

**Developer response:** Like a lot of iPhone apps, it runs on the iPad on an iPhone style window.
It was primarily designed for iPhone use, and therefore doesn't operate in landscape, as there's no need for it to do so on the iPhone.
However, the reports do display in landscape.
I'd be interested to hear your comments on the actual functionality of the app?

### 1/5 — Syncing - give me a break

**Developer response:** You can upgrade to “Work Diary Pro - Cloud”, which does sync across devices.
