Thank you for your fantastic review ! We’re so happy to hear that Time Doctor is making a positive impact on your work. Your support means the world to us.
It used to be a good product but they now lack on product focus and don't listen to customers.
Comments: It helped our company at different stage of it's growth but unfortunately is not listening to its customers anymore
Pros:
It has a nice web backend The client made in 2017 has good UX (if only we could use it) It used to have a responsive product team (not anymore)
Cons:
- The old client UI (which is the only one that we can use) is not intuitive and buggy. Our team very often complains about this and they don't want to use it. - A key feature which is blurring the screenshots has been taken away from the new Windows and Mac client but the option to enforce it is still in their web backend. This gives the false expectation that the setting will be respected while it doesn't and this compromise the privacy and *security* of the people using this software as the screenshots can also collect passwords, private keys etc. Neal from support on October 3rd 2017 wrote: "Sorry for the delay but our developer has not finished setting up this feature yet on the new app. I will try to get more feedback on this and see if I could get at least an estimate of when it will be implemented." After more than seven months on 20th of April 2018 he says: "We don't have an ETA yet. All I know is that our development team are currently working on incorporating this feature as we have been pushing them to since this is something available on the old app." As you can see the answer was not truthful (using the word "finishing" for something that wasn't started). There was also no apology from their side and they didn't write an article warning about this bug which can compromise the security of their users and breach their T&Cs. It's a shame since this company used to care about their customers. I will change the review if they finally act on this.General Comment It helped our company at different stage of it's growth but unfortunately while growing it seems that it lost its user focus

Hi We do apologize if you feel as though you are not treated the way you and your company used to be treated. While it is true that blurring of screenshot is not yet available in the new app, please do know that you can always use the older app to have this function working perfectly tailored to your needs. If you need any further assistance though, please do feel free to message us at [email protected]
Great tool for hourly employees/contractors
Comments: I like it. I personally used it when I was an hourly freelancer and now I use it to track employee / contractors time when we hire them by hour.
Pros:
I like that it is easy to use. Also, the tool detects time with no activity and allows to you track that too.
Cons:
Sometimes the productivity is not measured accurately and that brings confusion when analyzing the data.
Time Doctor Review: Should you Use?
Pros:
Time Doctor allows fulfills my time tracking needs as well as scheduling and attendance records. It is very accurate and I appreciate its compatibility with Apple and Microsoft phones and computers.
Cons:
Time Doctor does not have the customer support in case it is needed for ongoing issues. It is a great time tracker; however, problems may have to be self-diagnosed.
Time Doctor

The idle time and the sidebar doesnt show any more
Time Doctor Review
Pros:
The good thing with Time Doctor is that it efficiently tracks time, mouse clicks, and keyboard clicks. It also has a screenshot feature to make sure the employee is using his/her time wisely.
Cons:
As far as and as long as I have used Time Doctor, the only issue that I know is there are times that where the time doesn't sync however, they are constantly working on it, so the issues are taken cared of right away.

Great time tracking tool for remote teams!
Comments: As we are a remote team working on different time zones, Time Doctor helps a lot in tracking working hours of each team member. This is beneficial for the company and also helpful for the individual to see where time was spent on.
Pros:
It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate
Cons:
Sometimes when I run group reports, I do not see my own time. I have to manually generate my own report separately and not as part of the group.
Thanks, Time Doctor!
Comments: Great!
Pros:
Time tracking can make sure that we stay productive throughout the day
Cons:
No reminders once you've gone through the allowed break time.
Accurate and timely
Comments: As a General Virtual Assistant, using Time doctor is very rewarding and hassle free. It has all the functionality needed to run a business specially the beginners. Above all the ability to track the time of your worked hours. Easy to use software with lots of great features you can use to run a business.
Pros:
What I like about Time Doctor is its ability to record and tracked the number of hours your worked for your clients. It also calculate automatically your salary. And you can access the software using mobile.
Cons:
I have no complains when using Time Doctor. It helps me to provide my clients with accurate information. I was able to gain their trust and make them less worry because of the detailed information I submitted to them like the schedule of the tasks and recorded hours of worked.
Helps me to keep track on task
Pros:
Best part of time doctor is you can integrate with sheets and docs using it's extension and you can start time for every task seperately so that it helps to keep track which task consume how much percentage of bandwidth.

Sometimes it automatically pause we need to keep check on it.
Megan
Pros:
The functionality is great and easy to use for time tracking
Cons:
I wish there were more available options for a tablet and phone
Easy to measure the productivity with this.
Comments: I have only use this software for two times so far and I thought to share my experience.
Pros:
This can be used as a monitoring tool for a company management team to monitor the work of their employees and that will speed up the productivity of that company. Apart from monitoring, time doctor track time of the tasks and generate reports.
Cons:
As I said I used it two times, I felt like monitoring will destroy the privacy of the employees.
A flawless time tracking and activity tracking tool!
Comments: It had been a great experience with Time Doctor. Had we not got the life time deal from another vendor, we would have stuck with Time Doctor and honestly, even after getting the life time deal, things are not as smooth or as efficient as they were with Time Doctor. Time Doctor was truly remarkable and beats competition heads on.
Pros:
We had been using Time Doctor in our company for remote management of employees and for time tracking for some of our clients who wished that the time be tracked for the tasks that we worked on for them. I must say that after exploring 2-3 options, Time Doctor was one option that truly worked flawlessly. No issue was faced ever, be it installing on Mac or Linux or Windows or be it screen capturing or task management or a host of other activities that were tracked using Time Doctor.
Cons:
There was nothing to not like about this software. The only reason we shifted to another solution was that we were getting a pretty cheap Life Time Deal on another such solution.
Perfect software to track employee logins as activity!
Comments: Overall great experience with this software.
Pros:
One of the best features of this software is the ability to check the timeline of an employee where you can check their activity, logins, logouts etc. It is also an easy to use software (user-friendly). I also love the name of this software.
Cons:
I would only say, would like to have a better reporting system of exporting reports directly and quickly.
Alternatives Considered: Hubstaff
Time Doctor Review
Comments: i have had a positive experience with Time Doctor and would recommend to others.
Pros:
That it notifies you when time tracking starts so if you use your computer recreationally, you can remember to turn time tracking off. I like that you can hide the tracking icon or display it, depending on if it's distracting to you or you want to remember to change it
Cons:
new tasks take a while to show up in the app once they are made on the web version. I wish it notified you when you have spent more than two hours on something, because sometimes when you hide the tracking bar it's easy to forget to switch to another task.
Time Doctor Employer Payroll and Productivity Tool
Comments: I have been using Time Doctor for 3 years now and it never fail us to give productivity report, payroll log report and the customer service solutions.
Pros:
Time Doctor has a very user-friendly interface, easy to use, and monitor. What I like most about this app is the screenshots are taken every minute of your set time and the reports it generates that I use on our payroll. The customer service is also admirable to the team since they answer within a couple of hours and assist our employees on the concerns and matters.
Cons:
That thing that it can not generate night differential hours taken by the employees.
My Personal Experience with Time Doctor
Pros:
For me what I love most about this app is its ability to take screenshots of what we're doing. I have tried other attendance tracking software and none of them was able to do that. Also, it is very easy to use. You can use it immediately off the rack or you can customize it by adding or connecting it to a separate payroll. As an HR, I am happy using Time Doctor since I started my journey in freelancing because I can put my client at ease in using Time Doctor I can show them that I am honest with the hourly rate that I am charging them.
Cons:
I can't find any cons since using time doctor.
Automate your time sheets to save time!
Comments: I saved a ton of time by using Time Doctor to track how I spend my day and on which projects. I also don't have to write anything down and then worry about losing it before I send a client an invoice. So it's really helped my organization as well.
Pros:
Time Doctor has been a lifesaver for me. I am a one-person design company and I need to track the time I spend on many different projects all at once. My previous solution was to write down the time on sticky notes or note pads, but there was always the chance that I might misplace it or lose it. Nor could I generate my invoices from my home office if I'd left the billing hours info at my office. So this was a great all in one solution. Now I can choose the task I'm working on and don't have to worry about writing things down. If for any reason I forget what I was doing for a client and didn't make my task name specific enough, I can go back and take a quick look through the automatic screenshots. I also love that I can see how much time I spend on email and other admin tasks vs the actual design work. Love the reports that Time Doctor gives me as well.
Cons:
Not much that I don't like about this software. But suggestions for improvement? One thing I would love to see is integration with my cell phone. Time Doctor already has an app, but I want it to automatically capture the time I spend on my phone with clients. For now I have to manually enter in this time and must note when the call started and when it ended. Integration into Wave apps where I generate my invoices. I'd like to be able to select a project from Time Doctor in my invoice and have it automatically populate the time I spent on it and the dates I worked on the project rather than manually finding and entering this information.
Real Time Monitoring and Accurate Time Use Data for your Remote Workers
Pros:
With the latest technology, more effective collaborative tools have been developed to address the difficulties and disadvantages of hiring remote workers. Virtual Assistants are in demand helping companies Worldwide produce more and better results for a low cost. Most remote workers and Virtual Assistants are paid by the hour and with Time Doctor, the management can track their employees real work status and productivity time. The features are designed to monitor the agent's screens and open tabs to ensure that the workers are doing work related tasks and opening company approved sites. Dashboard shows agent status where a Green circle beside the users name- means the person is working, if red, means the person is not working or on break At the end of the day, a report on accurate time usage can be viewed. Data gives the total of hours worked. It also shows the different tasks and how much time spent per task. You can select total hours worked per day, week, or per month. What I like about Time Doctor is that it provides agent screenshots every 9 minutes. It also shows if there is a low activity period.
Cons:
Most benefits and advantages are for employers and management with the reports and actual agent status and work hours. However, the agent's Time Doctor Application / Dashboard is not easy to manage and use. Integration to company's accounting and company provided software can be complicated. For every task accomplished it should also be made available in their time doctor application. Agent should identify which task he/she is currently working on that particular hour by providing notes per hour after selecting which task category it belongs. Agents however can save permanent tasks instead of typing them saving them more time by just clicking on the saved task before he or she starts working.
