You once had the top app. Now we have to manually put in OT hours when the app used to do it automatically. How is this bettering the users experience? Disappointed ### 4/5 — Mejoras *2026-05-23, version 2.4* Solamente trabaja horas militares, lo cual no muchas compañias y usuarios no saben leer. Creo que deberian cambiar eso. A los archivos PDF, a la hora de exportarlos no te deja ponerles horas. May,23,2026: Poder eliminar los descansos, tarifas fijas de los PDF ### 4/5 — Does the job well but… *2026-05-14, version 2.4* I needed a straight forward hours logger, so I could easily document how long I long I spent doing each element of my role. This does this well, with an unfussy approach. I am now on Pro. But why does the week begin on Sundays date? That should be a setting. Also there isn’t an option to use the standard Apple format time dial, this has a bespoke circle that you spin round to the number. Again this feels like a setting we should have. ### 4/5 — Keeps Crashing *2026-04-13, version 2.3.1* Just updated the app on 4/9/26 and along with the new iOS update the app won’t work. I deleted and redownloaded the app and it still doesn’t work. Need it fixed. ASAP! Normally is a good efficient app. Don’t know what the issue is. Update- received a response from the developer and all is well. ### 5/5 — Version 2.3 didn’t work with iPhone 14 Pro *2026-04-10, version 2.3.0* The app is great ### 5/5 — It doesn’t work. *2026-04-10, version 2.3.0* I can’t open the app anymore. ### 5/5 — Employee *2026-03-15, version 2.2.0* This is actually very easy to maneuver. Even for someone who is not all that good with apps. It’s very clean organized and straight forward. I am currently using the free version and I am completely happy with that. I do not know what the upgrade has so I have no comment on that. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-03-11, version 2.2.0* App works very well, tracks shift well. I have a suggestion which is to add allowances to the app, for example fuel allowance and meal allowance. For allowances, some employers give allowance after a certain hour maybe add that in allowance section if added. ### 5/5 — Effective and efficient *2026-02-16, version 2.2.0* Simple to use and offers everything you need that all the other apps try and charge you for thanks ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2026-02-09, version 2.2.0* I run a small crew about five staff, and I’ve used this app for about six months. It was super helpful previously, and now it is even more so with the dashboard edition. I’m able to submit my employees time cards and check on their work journals with ease. Would highly recommend the simple tool for any small crew. ### 5/5 — Best time-log-work companion app!! *2025-12-31, version 2.1.2* I wanted to find a quick way to track my work hours, plus tips, and other expenses at my bar and grill. I see the payment app my restaurant uses to estimate the pay outcome, is quite limited and faulty for calculating our estimated pay (not our actual pay). It will leave us waiting until our payday to find out. This app, solves that mistake in every customizable way. I love being able to have the accountability when I am or not at work, feeling always at ease. I didn't start paying for the app until I started working as a server (most days) and as a kitchen helper (occasionally). My .99 was well spent!!! Get it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-12-14, version 2.1.2* I use this to track my babysitting hours it works so well it automatically gives me the amount that the parents owe me it’s great. ### 5/5 — Helps me to keep track *2025-12-14, version 2.1.2* This app is great to keep track of hours and erratic shifts. The tip option is also great and helps to calculate total revenu. I can then verify if my paycheck works out with my employer! Easy to use! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I don’t like it *2026-08-31, version 2.8.1* Don’t like ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2026-07-10, version 2.7.0* This used to be the best app in my phone made everything simple until one day it just started not working on my phone not sure it they are bugs or what it just gets stuck on the logo white screen and the app doesn’t launch ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2026-05-25, version 2.4* Keeps running out of memory ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-17, version 2.4* Bad ### 1/5 — Latest update *2026-04-10, version 2.3.0* Unable to access app since updating today ### 1/5 — Filter option doesn't work *2026-03-04, version 2.2.0* Earlier it was good but now paid or unpaid shift filter doesn't work.. ### 1/5 — Paid for premium *2025-09-29, version 2.0.4* Paid for premium still the same, lots of ads and won’t allow me to export Same issue for monthly subscription ### 1/5 — .99 for Subscription... *2025-08-11, version 2.0.4* So why was I charged $5.99? ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-08-04, version 2.0* Bad ### 1/5 — Subscription doesn’t remove Paywall *2025-08-04, version 2.0* After entering my schedule for a year I now want to export it. First surprise, there is a paywall to be able to export the data. Second surprise, when I upgrade my plan… the paywall isn’t removed and I still can’t export. Hope this issue will be resolved with a future update… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-28, version 2.8.1* This app helps me with all the accounting I need for my pay checks. I rate it 100%. It would be nice to have a portion where I can deduct savings from my salary though and get a yearly total as well. All the same it’s a 💯 for me. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, customizable, free! *2026-08-25, version 2.8.1* Just started freelancing on my own and needed to track my effort with my money and the hours involved and I was able to do so with this! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Best shift tracker out there *2026-08-19, version 2.8.1* Very intuitive, easy to use, I highly recommend this shift tracker app!! ### 5/5 — A need *2026-08-10, version 2.7.0* So helpful! Works great ### 5/5 — Best work hour tracker! *2026-08-08, version 2.7.0* Fantastic tracker for your work hours. Has a lot of great features that are free but very affordable add on features too. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Per Diem User Friendly *2026-06-08, version 2.5.1* This is the only app I’ve found that allows me to assign specific days per-diem is paid out. Also allows setting up of “Quick Shift”. This allows you to setup multiple shifts that will be in a drop-down menu so you don’t have to continuously create the same shift on multiple days. Easy easy easy to use and navigate. ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC App!! *2026-04-29, version 2.3.1* Working at the Post Office, it’s TOUGH to track our hours as Rural Sub Carriers but this app has worked tremendously. I’ll make a “job” for my actual hours and then another “job” for my evaluation hours and it does it down to the DECIMAL POINT! Highly recommend! Thank you for creating! ### 5/5 — Just what I needed - Very Helpful and Quickly Responsive Dev *2026-04-11, version 2.3.1* I have used this app to track my work-from-home hours for about four years and it works just the way I want it to. I have enjoyed the new features rolled out over the years. One of my favorite features is the ability to “go on break,” which I use to pause my paid time. More recently, on 4/10/2026, I updated to version 2.3.0 about 11-17 hours after it released and it caused the app to crash every time I opened it. So I wrote an email to the developer describing the issue in detail and he responded back a couple hours later and saying he has released another update to fix the issue. I updated to 2.3.1 and it works perfectly now! I marveled at the developer’s quick response to this issue and I wanted to compliment him for it. Thank you AR Productions for this great app and for quickly fixing the issue. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-04-11, version 2.3.1* Comes real handy and keeps you on schedule ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-10, version 2.3.1* Been using this app for a long time. Works great and has helped me keep my employer’s payroll honest. Highly recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
