ILLUSIONSTOO I've been using this for a while now and overall, I really like it. I find I'm billing more accurately which directly translates into a boost for my bank balance. It's pretty straightforward and easy to learn. I tested several and this one is the best for the price. I often have several clients' task windows open during the day. I pause one while I work on another; then pause it to go back or to a different one. Cool feature and one I grew accustomed to very quickly. The developer tries to be responsive, but sometimes updates are slow to happen. I think he (they?) pays attention to the boards and updates *do* happen. There are, however, still some things that make it difficult for me to give it the five-star rating I know is possible. Window size and placement should be remembered, but aren't. Can't enter times into fields; must use up/down arrows. This is really slow. I need this function as I record hours worked out of my office (e.g., not on the timer). No way to reorder line items. This is crucial for me. No way to get out of Preferences without saving (okay button only), and I don't always want to save. In fact, the three standard buttons (close, minimize & zoom) are missing from several windows. No way to customize the invoice or even make sure my logo isn't stretched out of recognition. Creating reports is a bit cumbersome, but at least they're there. They're just not very intuitive. I don't use it for invoicing since I can't customize the form and already have an okay system set up in FileMaker. I'd reconsider if I could manage the layout. That said, let me reiterate that I really like this software for the most part and certainly recommend it for small businesses and individuals.

TFINDLAY Thanks for the feedback. I have addressed some of your concerns: - Project windows have always remembered their size and placement. Other windows don't. - Keyboard entry into start and end times has been added for the next release. - Sessions, Expenses, Flat Rate Items, and Payments can be dragged to reorder them (in the next release). - Some invoice customization is possible in the Invoice tab of the Preferences and in the project's Invoice tab. - Invoice graphics in the next release are scaled proportionally if necessary but not stretched to fill the entire graphic area.

MACVAULT I was excited to check this out, as I'm starting a photography business where I'll be billing post production editing work by the hour. Unfortunately I have to agree with an earlier poster that the lack of an option to use the mail client of my choice (ie: Apple Mail) is a deal killer. This has some nice features though, and the price is right. I don't need a time billing app right away, just researching right now, so maybe that will be corrected soon and I can consider this again.

SAILESH_1973 Just trying this out and impressed with interface and features. But being form the UK the date format in the main project window is still showing the US date format (next to Begun, In progress, etc dropdown). Plus even though the currency was changed in preferences, the project window retains the $ 3 times at the bottom - Rate, Time Charges and Grand Total Owing. Apart from these minor niggles, looks not too bad!

TFINDLAY In version 4.5.1 all dates and times are governed by your system settings. Changing the currency character in the Preferences only affects projects created after the change is made. Existing projects will retain their original currency characters. You can change the currency character on individual projects in the Invoice tab of the project window.

MADMEG Straightforward and effective. However, when I click the little "mail invoice" button, it tries to fire up MS Entourage instead of OS X Mail(!). This seems kinda silly since all Mac users have OS X Mail, but a smaller percentage own/use Entourage. I mean if you're going to limit mailing PDF versions of an invoice from within the billing application to a single mail application, why on earth did you choose Entourage?!

TFINDLAY There is a preference setting on the Invoice page of the Preferences to set either Entourage or Mail as the preferred email program.

MADMEG Well so there is! Thanks! Still, the default setting should be for Mail and Entourage users should have to go searching for that tiny little button in the preferences! ;)

NIGHTHAWK090 New version looks nice, would like to see ability to add several other payments other than just the credit option....have several "pay a little here, a little there" customers as the project continues....Other thing I noticed is the numbers don't line up flush in the total column (at first open of update cut off part of the second t and the "al" in total. Other than that wish, I love the program!!!!! Easy, intuitive, streamlined.....

TFINDLAY Where are you seeing the problem with the totals?
(Version 4.4.1) | |
 | Mar 4 2008 |
NIGHTHAWK090 When you first open the program and select a project, the "total" column only shows "to" and half of the second t. If you select to organize by total, then the whole word shows, but the numbers align to what appears to be a small column (or artifact, aligned right) with the numbers to the right of the decimal aligned under that column. It appears it may be an artifact from the bar---it appears on all screens.... sessions, expense, flat rate, invoice...you can see the artifact in line with the column titles, and is especially obvious on the invoice screen.

FERDINAND For me simply the best task/time billing app. for the Mac. Works perfectly, looks beautiful and integrates with addressbook. Also a very responsive and helpfull developer. I had an issue with my Swedish currency, mailed the developer about it-at that time I hadn't even paid for the app.- and within the our I got a mail back and in this new release he has fixed it! Thank you Terry!

ANONYMOUS TaskTime is a great timer/billing utility. I would reccommend this program to anyone with simple billing needs: keeps track of time spent on projects at a specific monetary rate. It gets better with each new version.

AL GOULDEN Really good program for small businesses, and an enthusiastic developer who welcomes feedback. I bought earlier version in December 2004 and sent him a list of features I thought should be included: new fields for invoice, automatic or manual invoice numbering, different currencies for projects, ability to have flat fee as well as pro rata etc etc. One month later those were included. I evaluated ibiz, customertracker and other similar programs. This was the most flexible, least restrictive and cheapest. Still needs a more editable invoice configuration but I suspect that is to come.
