Complete (development done, in testing):

Bugs:

  • On Dell streak (running android 2.2):  The area of the screen where it shows the day of the week  is gray with no day or date in it.  Probably due to color scheme by Dell, will change font to a darker one.

I would like to thank everyone for all the good suggestions!

Technical problems or difficulty solving some programming problem might delay certain functionality.  Also time available is of course a factor. So I'm sorry that I can't give a timetable for all functionality at the moment.

Feel free to request features that you think might be useful!

Either leave a comment (currently closed in non mobile version of web, working on fix) or send a email :)

I read all comment & e-mails, but I don't always have the time to respond. Sorry for that.

  1. Hi,

  2. mick

    Please add tab for overtime, ex. Over 40 hours calculate overtime as time and a half

  3. will edwards

    Any chance u guys doing anything apple)??? Please!!! Please let me know…. id def pay for it, there is nothing close in the apple store

  4. Erin

    An option to calculate taxes would be great for vendors/contractors, i.e. those where taxes are not taken out of check

  5. Gary Walsh

    Any ETA on ver 3.1? I would really like in/out times to be included in reports.

  6. ken

    I much prefer to use a customer name and not the shoert code to post and view time entries. I wish we could sort by names instead of short code.

    Also, in the Report view, could you make the font for the customer name larger so we can see it!!

    Thanks

  7. stan

    I find this a very quick and intuitive business support tool.

    is there a way to recover comments that have been lost when they have not been saved as I have moved onto the next entry without saving?

  8. dbmaster

    It would be nice when entering the end or quitting time, that it defaulted to the Time of Day.

  9. David

    Great app! My ot can change due to the time of day ie. Before 6 am or after 5pm. Also after 8 hrs worked. Can I set a default break time. Mine is always 30 mins.

  10. stephen

    Hi just like to see, being able to choose the start day and end day for the month report example (say 15th dec to 14th jan) instead of just start of month to end of month
    Thanks

  11. I’d like to see auto capitalization/spell check enabled the way other apps detect the words. This would speed up entering time tracking notes.

  12. Holocron

    Is it possible to add rates in different currencies? For example, some projects are in usd, and others are in eur.

  13. rodrick

    Would like to see time input for vacation time when entering vacation time it adds to total hours need vacation hours to be regular hours

  14. Matthew

    I like this time sheet program better than any others I have tried. Thank you. I don’t know if this us a result of the Android OS, but when a task ends at midnight the total hours don’t always update correctly. Also a related feature request; when a task runs over midnight at the end of a week, can the reporting split that task into the separate weeks? Let me know if my questions are not clear, and thanks again for a great program.

  15. alan mikkelsen

    I’ve entered two different codes. The program totals the time for each code, but only totals the billing amount for one code.

  16. Anders

    George: In/out times in reports coming in version 3.1 :)
    bi-weekly will be available trough free selectable date interval for reports in 3.1

  17. George

    Awesome app, thank you so much! Can’t wait for bi-weekly reports and in/out times in reports! You, sir, need a donate button.

  18. Anders

    matt: It will be included in a future version!

  19. matt

    Would be good to have different currency options

  20. Rebecca

    How soon will there be an update? All I really need is the two decimals. I’ve tried a bunch of apparently like this and yours is the closest to what I need. Keep up the good work!

  21. Anders

    Hi Stefan!

    I have added your suggestion!

  22. Stefan

    When copying previous day, I would like to have an option of only copying the codes and not the hours. Easier to see for which codes I haven’t entered hours yet.

  23. Anders

    Hi Rex!

    The gps idea is a good one. I will see if I can figure out how to do it.

  24. lex

    Any possibility of gps location recording on click in/out and then reverse mapping on report generation?

  25. bob

    I would like to beable to back this app up to my phone because every tume they update my sprint moment i t erases all my time cards

  26. JohnV

    Might be a bug on the Droids. If you start inputting data and reorient to landscape (using the virtual keyboard ), all data is lost.

  27. Anders

    Great idea ron!

  28. ron

    Hey, I love the app but I was wondering if there was any way to be able to view the ‘reports’ from within the app? Being able to select the the different events and see and edit the details without going outside the app. As of now I have to export to see my work or I have scroll through days and days to find the right one.

  29. Tom

    For Reporting porpose a free selectable time periodisch would be nice.

  30. michael

    Would like change the day that work week starts, for example mine starts on Wednesday. Thanks love the app.!!!

  31. shell
