## Reviews

### "Simple, easy to use software" — 4.0/5

> **Carl** | *5 December 2017*
> 
> **Pros**: Simplicity. Ease of setup and use. All our staff could start using this and have been keeping their time more regularly since using it.
> 
> **Cons**: Reporting can be a bit inflexible. I need to export to excel and then make pivot tables to analyse the data.

### "HourDiary does exactly what it claims." — 5.0/5

> **Samantha** | *9 May 2017* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is essential we provide professional, fully itemised timesheets \& expenses to our many institutional clients. HourDiary has helped us do this and in the process saved many hours of frustration struggling with Excel.  I would recommend it to any firm.
> 
> **Cons**: If it could fill in my time sheet for me automatically by scanning my emails, monitoring my phone calls and reading my mind that would be great.
> 
> Accurate billing and increased estimate forecasting

### "Easy to use time tracking software that I can access wherever I am." — 5.0/5

> **Francesca** | *22 May 2017* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HourDiary enables me to easily record my time and then create professional looking invoices which I can send on to my clients. I can also quickly run a report to work out what time hasn't yet been billed (and the value of that work) and also monitor where I am versus any fixed quote / budget I have set. On the occasions where I have needed some extra guidance, the support helpline has been quick to respond \& easy to deal with. Fantastic value for money.
> 
> **Cons**: Would be helpful to have the ability to make certain matters / rates confidential from other users in the future.
> 
> Saves time when creating timesheet to support invoices. Helpful specifically to me as i work on a time and materials basis.

### "Very worthwhile" — 5.0/5

> **Patrick** | *27 February 2017*
> 
> We've discussed it in the office and feel that HourDiary is very worthwhile and has already helped us with several clients, so we would very much like to continue using it.
