Timecard provides a simple yet powerful tool to capture employees time and create reports. Users can check in when they start work and check out when they complete the work and the application can calculate the number of hours they have worked. The supervisor can view the hours reported by each employee and the location from which the time is reported. Employee TimeCard is the perfect solution for business with ONSITE, OFFSITE and MOBILE employees where TIME and LOCATION need to be accounted for. Employee TimeCard collects time and GPS location allowing employers to set up GEOFENCING and confirm the location of their employees as they work onsite, offsite or mobile. All the information can be seamlessly exported into Email, Excel or QuickBooks for invoicing and reporting purposes. This application balances the right visibility of the workforce and the privacy of the employees. Basically, when the employees are on the clock, their location is logged. If they move out of a specific radius set by the employer, while they are on the clock, the employer is notified. But if they clock-out, immediately the location tracking is stopped. Many of our customers use this feature for auditing compliance on secure geofencing work area, tax preparation, performance management and fraud or overbilling prevention.

The subscription is $9.99/month for 5 users, 1 Supervisor and 4 basic users.You will be automatically renewed each month unless you cancel your subscription through your iTunes account.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Employee TimeCard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Work Log has 817 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Employee TimeCard's written reviews are positive against 28% of Work Log's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Employee TimeCard ships an update every 2 months, Work Log every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
