### "I've needed a solution like Timely for some time. I finally found it and it perfectly suits my needs"

May 30, 2017

5.0

Pros

Projects with budgets and different tasks - clients with different projects - tags to measure time spent on different types of tasks - marking projects as billed - timer on tasks - planned time for future tasks

Cons

Ummm.... wish I could set a combined income worth on a project instead of hours. Then as I clock more hours, I see how my hourly income decreases. I often work project-based where I have a set budget and an estimated number of hours set aside for that project. If I choose budget for project and set hourly pay, then if I go over the set time it shows a wrong number while I still get paid only the set amount.

### "Great software at a high price"

December 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

I liked the automatic time tracking functionality most from this software. Made it very easy to manage my time and see the trends that happened with my work without putting in much extra time to manage this.

Cons

The pricing is much steeper compared to other alternatives out there like Timing app. As a result, you would have to really do a cost benefit analysis on the cost vs the amount of benefits you get from it.

### "Timely for a Solo Business Consultant"

March 2, 2017

4.0

Everything about Timely has been great. It does everything I need for managing the hours I work for each of my clients. Having a list of clients with projects makes allocation easy. The Timely team has been very helpful and communicative when dealing with an issue that required some major development work. I was very impressed with this. The only extra feature I can think of that would be perfect for me is the ability to grab items from within the apps (on the day page) and add them to an entry. I can easily create an entry from one of the app items but to add app items to an entry would be handy. Otherwise I have nothing but praise for the software and the team.

Pros

Value for money and practicality

Cons

Unable to add app items to an entry

### "Superb app for your time management"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Great app, very superb. Help me to manage my working hours for every project handled.

Pros

Timely is verrrrryyyy super. You can accurately track your working time effortlessly. No need for you to create a manual time sheet creation. Supported by AI, Timely can help you to track and categorise your works!

Cons

Since I only provide the review based on the free trial, I hope they can have more time given for the free trial-er haha

### "Fantastic - best app ever"

March 30, 2017

5.0

As an independent creative producer and arts consultant I wanted an app that could track my time as other freelancer apps, but give me the flexibility to manage the vastness of the projects I work on. Timely's seamless usability across devices, great design that you actually want to look at, colour-coding projects, and the ability to add in project team members as needed to various projects makes it really user friendly. The ability to track projects by different billing rates is key, and also allows me to manage pro-bono work I do. And the tags. I love the tags. And I love the Timely support team. They were, well, timely in their responses and super friendly in resolving issues. Other things I love: the app integration (although I would like to see iCal integrated), as well as Memory. With the planned VS actual logged time stamps on each entry alongside the introduction of Memory, I can better assess project hour estimates and my own productivity. I totally nerd out with this app.

### "Timely Not a Favorite"

July 16, 2019

3.0

Pros

I gave the Timely app a try because I needed to keep up with time spent on the projects for my clients. I liked that it would allow me to categorize projects and accurately keep the time on them.

Cons

I thought it was a bit clunky and confusing to use and found another product that was easier to use across all of my devices. The pricing plan for the service was too much for me.

### "Really helpful, mindless tracking"

April 7, 2017

5.0

The unexpected side effect of seeing my tasks in the memory bar was a productivity boost, because I before I felt like "i can't believe it's 3pm and I'm still on this \[thing\]" and now I can see that actually, a did a bunch of stuff and am now on \[this thing\]. Also, as an independent who works from home, it helps me plan my time better. Even though I was planning before, I don't like putting work in my calendar. "Planned time" works great and keeps my calendar clean. I kind of wish it had break reminders, but I can use a separate app for that.

Pros

Super easy. mindless. habit-building. Makes me more productive. Basically, done right.

Cons

I miss the built-in Pomodoro reminders in toggl (desktop).

### "More money - less problems!"

May 6, 2019

5.0

We became a complete new overview on our time-spending and project hours in an easy and stylish way. Our customers love the report sharing function!

Pros

Timely is very quick and easy to use! You can save a lot of time with the intelligent "Memory Tracker" plugin. The easy way of sharing project reports is second to none - our customers love it!

Cons

For me and my company there are no cons! It all works perfectly!

### "Easy of use, Great for Timesheets"

April 4, 2019

5.0

Timely helped keep track of timesheets very accurately. It even suggests time entries which saves me too.

Pros

I enjoy the fact that it is available on almost every device. Some apps are limited to either android platform or apple, but this one is available on either.

Cons

I did not like that the app does crash, on occasion. But nothing I can't deal with.

### "I'm a believer and switched over from Toggl!"

January 23, 2017

5.0

I am in a consultant position where emails, meetings, and projects fill my day. I was using Toggl but found that I had to "remember" to go back through my email, my projects, my calendar all manually and try to piece together what happened each day. The UI frustrated me and wasn't conducive to playing "catch up". It seemed like Toggl is best suited for those that always have a timer running. I am working on multiple things at once, am interrupted often, and a timer isn't necessarily the best method to track time. After finding Timely, this changed. I love time tracking. I can drag and drop all of the emails I sent for the day with the Gmail integration, drag and drop my meetings of the day with the Google Calendar integration. My time tracking is fun, easy, and I don't feel like I'm playing catchup, I'm just recording what I'm doing on various channels! Thanks Timely!

### "Timely gives you more freedom through it's simplicity. It just works."

March 11, 2017

5.0

It's rare to find a great product and attentive customer support in the same place. Before Timely, I was frustrated trying to work on specific tasks within a predefined calendar slot. If I missed a slot, the entire day felt off. Timely allows me to use color coding for specific categories of work like marketing or content creation, dragging & dropping as the day progresses. Being able to see planned vs. logged time is another winner. This gives me more freedom to have a successful day and get stuff done!

Pros

Color coding, planned vs logged time, easy project completion by percentage view, drag and drop.

### "Great software, too pricey for me"

October 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

\- Automatic time tracking is great - Systems learns to categorise projects better over time - Not needing to start a timer really helps to identify "unconscious" time sinks!

Cons

\- Pricing was too steep for me - Sometimes you do just want to have manual control over the time tracking process

Great time-tracker software which helps me better track my time but also keeps me more aware of logging hours, how I spend my time, etc. Wish they had an Android App.

### "a must use time tracking tool. Almost no manual input required. Saved me at least 4 hours per month."

June 15, 2017

4.0

Time saver and found extra billable hours

Pros

The Memory feature automagically tracking time is a serious game changer. We have "discovered" more billable hours each month and the reports produced for clients show exactly how their money has been spent. And we love the almost zero input required.

### "tracking support"

October 6, 2020

5.0

worked well for years, not needed anymore, but my teammates (and partner) use it daily!

Pros

It's been a blessing to use timely to help me stay on top of tracking my personal hours for work. I also love their business developments and rebranding

Cons

I would sometimes get issues with the software not working, but that was due to the size of the screen

Only using it for a while to track the time spending on certain tasks. Good so far.

### "Good solution for tracking time but can get pricey"

May 1, 2018

3.0

Pros

It is really well designed and the visuals are great. Better than tracking via docs or timecards methods.

Cons

If you have a good amount of employees you will get charged per user which can add up. Would rather have a bulk rate.

### "Timely"

December 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how Timely automatically shows you how much money you made based on the time that you put in. As a freelancer, that makes life so much easier.

Cons

The overall website is a tad bit cluttered, and would take a bit getting used to.
