"We've used Timesheet for 4 years at our company. It saves time and makes it easier to track activities across many team members and allocate time and expenses to projects. My favourites:+ Easy to use calendar interface. + Excel export and analytics+ Responsive and helpful support."
David Sommer
"I've been using it for 1.5 years with great satisfaction. The app allows me to keep track of exactly what I'm spending my time on (I work as a freelancer) and to have a comprehensive and accurate view of my activity, month after month."
Noé Thys
Freelancer
"Used this app for over two years now. It's excellent. Easy to use. The layout is clean and user friendly. The developer keeps updating and improving it regularly. I like it so much that I donated 5Euro to buy him a beer in the "donate" option. Try it, you'll love it"
Tommy Thorn
Developer
"I've been using the free version for my business for years, and I love it. Before I discovered it, I was a mess. It helps me keep track of tons of projects at once, and I can quickly and easily switch between projects."

"I've been using this app for about 7 years now. I rely on it and it's been reliable and frequently improved. A great app. Highly recommended for time tracking as a contractor, multiple projects at once etc."

"Works perfectly. The timer feature isn't something I use all of the features on, but it is nice to not have to remember when I arrived at my client. Developer is responsive to feedback!"
