Likelihood to Recommend
It’s well suited for those with hourly employees who require daily time cards. As well it’s beneficial for reporting for projects as to costs for labour and for extras that are requested on site

Time Doctor is great if you need to time how long you spend on different projects throughout the day. I am editing multiple books at once and I need to keep track of how long I spend on each one. It is not worth it if you don't need to keep track of how long you spend on a large project. I find it too cumbersome to time individual tasks and not useful enough to time just one project.

  • Reporting
  • Integrates with Quickbooks
Read full review
  • One click to choose projects and tasks you've already created so that you can quickly choose what you're working on and basically set it and forget it.
  • Automatic screenshots so that I can always reference back to what I was working on.
  • The reports! There are reports for every project and time use. Helps me see exactly where my time is going and how I can better maximize it.

Cons
  • the scheduling feature has room for improvement - the views are not condensed and cannot be viewed by all employee groups
  • during the time card review process - instead of a description - it would be nice to have a reason section when changing a time card
  • the geo fences around projects - I wish they could be linear

  • When checking/viewing Web and App Usage, I wish there's an option on this page to update or change the app's rating without going to settings page. It will be a lot easier for us to update the ratings on the Web and App Usage.

There are some upgrades and features that don’t work without a full delete (app) and reinstall and some users don’t remember their login details. Admin time spent. As well there are some edits that could be beneficial

I use this daily and it is very simple to use. The setup is very easy and customizing the fields is simple enough. Editing it is also very easy to do.

The support was terrible! They never responded in sufficient time and their assistance was always super vague. I never felt like they had an actual solution to my concerns. They were nice, but I don't feel like they were trained in their own system. It felt like I was talking to a wall.

Alternatives Considered
the switch feature and easy of use for the field employees, who are not all tech savvy, is why we chose busy busy. Other softwares only used a stop/go feature which we thought could be very confusing for employees who are just switching cost codes between jobs. Also integration was cleaner on busy busy

We previously used the time tracking component within Kanbanflow.com. However, it was confined to a specific task and we needed something more holistic. Enter Time Doctor! The difference between the two was night and day. I know there are other similar time tracking apps that exist that we could have investigated. We started with Time Doctor Lite and that gave us enough of a taste to upgrade to Pro.

  • It helps me to use my time more effectively.
  • For a small amount each month I believe I get a huge return on investment in form of traceability of my hours spent. The major factor that made me choose Time Doctor was the price and the value. I don't think I would still be interested if it was more expensive.
