Pros:

It was easy to use and integrated with google chrome, super easy.

Great time tracking tool on the go

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: The experience was good, it was particularly useful to have reports issued in excel format.

Pros:

I really like that you can track time spent on tasks in real-time by hitting the 'play' button on a particular task in a project and then pressing 'stop' to stop tracking.

Cons:

When forgetting to hit 'stop' the time would continue to accumulate so sometimes it would go on over the weekend. Perhaps it could have some sort of timeout or a notification to flag such occasions.

It's awesome!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I love TrackingTime! It always saves me from pulling out a watch and manually creating a spreadsheet in order to track everything!

Pros:

I love how easy it is to track/adjust time per task.

Cons:

It may have been a bit of a challenge to reopen archived projects.

Multiple Job Organization

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall, in a basic sense it works well but wish the functionality for our particular situation was better. It's time consuming to fill out time sheets when we have to enter multiple 18-25 digit numbers in the comments for multiple jobs per day.

Pros:

The interface is relatively self explanatory and easy to use in a basic sense.

Cons:

We work on multiple jobs per day that need to be charged to multiple accounts. The issue that that we can't figure out is how to setup the software so that it's possible add job #'s to the pay categories to select from, like the "Reg Pay" selection. We currently work around it by entering our time as "Regular" but then we have to enter the account numbers and a brief description of what we did on that account in the comments section. It would be nice if under "pay category" that we could have it setup with a job number, like #8508, and then the software automatically applies the account information to the job # in the background. It seems like this is how the software is setup but it seems to be non-functional on our end.

On Track - On Time!

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I know where to pull my resources of time, energy and management and use them effectively for every unique project that comes across my desk.

Pros:

I have many aspects in projects going on at the same time. For example: Audio Production, Video Production, Research and general touching base with all those involved on our end and the client's. I have accountability data....THIS is of great value!

Cons:

I have no problems with the standard features. A timer of proposed and projected time of what a possible part of a project may be estimated. That could come in handy.

Record your work hours

4.0 5 years ago

Pros:

This application has many advantages when working with freelance clients or with remote companies. You can calculate your hours worked with just start the tracker, if you forgot to start it you just have to start a new time log and edit the start time at which you started. You can also indicate in detail what you did during that period of time, have a record of hours worked per day, week or month, and an average of days worked in the week. Actually this app has made me manage my time and labor cost.

Cons:

It can be improved in many aspects, such as taking screen capture while you work, connecting with a payment gateway to send a receipt with your summary of hours attached.

Use the software every day!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Its been great, I've tried many other programs and this one just works and just keeps working.

Pros:

I love how easy it is to track my time and add new projects. I also love that I can get a overview of my week and how many hours a day I've worked. As a freelancer this is extremely helpful information. Also being able to sync with my phone is a God Sent!

Cons:

I don't love that its a subscription. Much rather have a one time cost.

I love Tracking Time for my freelance business

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

Tracking time makes it super easy to track hours for different projects in a day or even the same time. It's a great addition you can have it as an extension on google chrome if you need to quickly clock in. I also find the reports and manage projects tab so helpful when creating invoices and ability to track what I worked on and when in a week.

Cons:

I don't have any cons about the software for the moment.

A lightweight, full featured time tracking service that gets the job done.

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: The ability to report on project timeline performance with traceable, direct metrics was immensely helpful in justifying the business case for increased personnel and additional budgetary resources.

Pros:

The ability to get instantaneous metrics on hours tracked, performance targets, and overall usage without having to spend time creating or reviewing complex reports. The dashboard view alone is virtually everything a Project Manager needs to be able to proactively adjust resources and priorities.

Cons:

The inability to have two users contribute to a common task is a SERIOUS deterrent to wider rollout and adoption within our organization. That, combined with the limited access control features and lack of flexibility in input methods is what reduces this from the best in class application to merely an excellent entry in an already crowded field.

Free or Paid it is worth it and reasonable.

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I would recommend this to anyone. It works well and keeps track of everything wonderfully

Pros:

It is so easy and straight forward to use. I have been using it for years and never had a complaint. When I decide to actually go for the monthly payment version, it got even better and is very reasonably priced.

Cons:

There really isn't anything I can say that is bad about this item. It works as advertised and a great producte.

Time Tracker with a Great Free Version

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

Easy to learn. Tracks projects with multiple elements.

Cons:

The free version limits the number of tasks you can have active. Honestly, I've been using TrackingTime for a couple years and have only ran into this a few times.

Pros:

What is views and what you can get for free is a great value

Cons:

It is pretty expensive for what it offers. There are a ton of extra incentives to go behind the free product

Great product

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

This product is easy to integrate into project management platforms, which I loved very much. And it was easy to use! And allowed me to track time spent on different aspects of a task or project.

Cons:

I would love for there to be reminders. Sometimes I forgot to start and end tracking, so had to go back in and manually edit the time. I like that I can go back and fix times. But really wish there was a way there could be a start and end button always on top of whatever I'm doing. Or at least reminders.

Free Version

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: I use this for my own personal planning and only use the free version because I am not convinced that the paid version would be much better for what I need (at the moment).

Pros:

I have used the free version to keep track of my time on projects, and it seems to be pretty good. I like that it reminds me of an ongoing activity as well as being able to backtrack to fill in my time.

Cons:

I wish it was available to use on a phone application. Additionally, I wish that you could set the time you want to spend on each task and it would notify you when you should switch and ask you if you have switched.

Best Time Tracking Software I've Tried

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

The tool is super easy to use, they have a desktop version that tracks automatically, making edits is a breeze as well. And as a designer, it's aesthetically appealing compared to others that I've tried.

Cons:

I'm actually really pleased with this software and I've tried many out there. This one is by far the easiest to use with the features that I need.

Easy to use

4.0 4 years ago

Pros:

TrackingTime was very easy to use and quick to setup. I used this for short-term projects with a lot of pieces to manage. For example, it was a great help as a graduate student tracking the time spent on different elements in my thesis. I could look back at the end of the week and see how much I got done.

Cons:

I switched to a different time tracker when I needed to only track the hours spent for billing at another job. I only really needed a phone app with a stop watch at the time. Would try TrackingTime again in the future.

Using TrackingTime to track my time on multiple projects, insividual

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I am using the application as individual, to track my time that I spend on multiple products.

Pros:

The ease of use of the application and the fact that multiple projects can be added and integrated. A very cool feature that I like is that you can integrate calendars so the time will be easier to be tracked amongst meetings / other activities.

Cons:

I don’t have any cons at the time, really enjoying the app, even on the free tier plan.

review

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall very good.

Pros:

That it has a bar measuring the time you spent on a project within the budget assigned to each

Cons:

There are sometimes where I'm not tracking time and the ball on Chrome (the chrome extension) still shows red as if I was. That confuses me. Also, to start tracking time you need to create a task, that should be optional, I would want to start tracking time just by the project. There are sometime where I go and forget to set the timer off. I read somewhere that there was a new update that detected this and stopped to tracking? But it's not working for me. So I have to edit the time. Abd to get to the time log, it's not that easy. I wish it was easier.

Great way to keep track of how much time I spend on my tasks. Also, this app is cloud-based and syncs well with the desktop app
