February 6, 2018

3.0

Pros

Very easy to use Harvest for time entry, expenses and invoicing. Mobile app is very useful to upload travel expenses and time entry.

Cons

Very limited feature. can't enter expenses after the invoicing period, can't add description to weekly time sheet. you have to enter description to each line.

### "Harvest is nice"

July 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

The UI for the desktop app is nice. Integration with Asana is nice. Reporting and forecasting is very nice.

Cons

I wish the native app had start and stop time parameters for a task instead of just raw hours and minutes.

### "The best time tracking software for freelancers"

May 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Use this all the time and it has helped me better keep track of hours and bill more accuratley on projects.

February 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the mobile app a lot. This amazing software helped us a lot with time tracking. Another good thing is the integration with Xero.

Cons

No cons that should be mentioned here. We are using it on a daily basis and there is nothing to complain about.

### "Excellent user interface "

April 22, 2021

5.0

This tool is so much better than the archaic system we had before. So easy to implement, understand and use.

Pros

I picked this software up very easily. User interface is very intuitive, I immediately was able to add clients and projects without even needing the available training modules.

Cons

When I’m looking at hours for a project, I moved some hours to another task — getting back to the main task again took too many clicks. Like I was starting over - seems like an easy thing to adjust.

### "Excellent time-tracking app for those with invoicing and expensing needs"

February 11, 2018

4.0

Works well and is very easy to use. Best suited for individuals and small teams.

Pros

Harvest is an excellent tool for individuals and/or small organizations that need help with invoicing, expensing, and management needs such as team scheduling. Integrates easily with many other business apps.

Cons

Harvest is only available as a web app version. There are currently no windows supported desktop versions. Can get pricey compared to other solutions available.

### "Harvest Review"

April 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

One thing I liked about this is you could start a timer when you started a job and stop the timer when you ended. This was really useful when we would have workers on a few different sites throughout the day. Especially when we need to know how much time was going to be added to an extra work order.

Cons

It didn't integrate with our accounting software too well and we had to enter all of the time cards by hand. But that's the only negative I think we've ever had.

### "A daily seamless experience"

July 20, 2017

5.0

Tracking hours on projects and clients became more seamless.

Pros

The macOS desktop app (which sits in the menu bar) makes it seemless when switching clients and projects.

Cons

The isn't anything on TryHarvest that I can of that I'd want improved as the current features are well thought out.

### "Simple yet powerful time tracking app"

October 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

I used Harvest in a few projects and loved how easy it is to get started and quickly jot down some time tracking; works on mobile devices too which is a plus for me

Cons

It can be -too- simple in my opinion, it could use more updates!

### "Harvest helps me manage my client work seamlessly "

August 7, 2019

5.0

I am basically a solopreneur who has contractors working for me, and I also do work for clients myself. Previously I tracked my time on an Excel spreadsheet, then transfered the information to an invoicing system in another app. Now I can do both via Harvest instead of using multiple apps. It's also easy to use.

Pros

Not only can you track your time for freelance projects and clients, but Harvest also has its own invoicing system so you can easily convert your billable hours to an invoice for the client, rather than using a separate invoicing system.

Cons

The pricing for an individual is really reasonable. It can add up once you go beyond two people, but for many organizations it is still probably worth it.

Reason for choosing Harvest

The time tracking integration and the ease of use and clean layout with Harvest.

October 27, 2018

5.0

I used it for business and thinking about using it for everyday life.

Pros

Can easily figure time management for working hourly employees

Cons

Should have had a tutorial but otherwise absolutely loved this software!

### "Solid Invoicing and Time Tracking App"

January 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy to learn, straightforward UI. I was able to get up and running quickly. Plus the importing and exporting features work well.

Cons

Not as integrated with some other similar tools like FreshBooks. Not quite as polished.

### "tracking time effortlessly "

December 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

At my company, we have been able to manage our time more effectively. Which has helped keep our clients happy as well.

Cons

At first it was difficult convincing everyone on our team that they needed this app on their phones. However, everyone loves it now!

### "A simple and effective way to track time and money"

October 4, 2017

5.0

Pros

Harvest has been very helpful for our small business for keeping track of our time and money. It is simple, nicely designed, and was quickly adopted by all of our team.

Cons

We have occasionally found it to be TOO simple, and we are sometimes frustrated by timesheet approval emails being sent to seemingly random members of our team (we are unsure if this is a problem outside of our company).

### "Harvest can be useful "

July 9, 2021

4.0

Helps us manager our time and work more efficiently .

Pros

Harvest integrates amazingly with a bunch of the other programs I use regularly. The time tracking is really precise and you can easily differentiate between how much resources each task requires .

Cons

The interface has an outdated feel to it and can definitely benefit from cosmetic changes . Even with the necessary admin permissions it can be hard to track other people's work .

### "Harvest Add-on for Basecamp"

May 30, 2019

4.0

Harvest has worked well for most day to day actions. It responds quickly and has a simple and easy to use interface. It also includes a built in stopwatch that can be used to keep track of time while working on a task. It does require a Chrome plugin be installed to integrate into Basecamp but this seems to be a limitation of Basecamp and not Harvest.

Pros

The interface is quick and easy to use for most common actions and it fits well into Basecamps interface.

Cons

Not being able to edit time within Basecamp if the todo is closed. It requires an extra step to reopen the todo so that Harvest will reappear.

### "Simple and functional"

July 15, 2021

5.0

Could be better with integrations, but honestly I prefer it simpler than full of distractions.

Pros

The best part about harvest is that it's really objective. I use it only for time tracking and I really appreciate that it isn't bloated with shenanigans.

Cons

As a Opera user, I miss the integration with Basecamp which doesn't work on it. Neither do the app with the Basecamp app, so, I have to time track manually my Basecamp to-dos.

### "user experience"

June 5, 2019

4.0

I used Harvest during my first experience at an architecture firm and it was seamless overall.

Pros

Harvest is an attractive system to use. After using several time logging programs during several different jobs, harvest is the most user-friendly. Coming from a design background, the interface is the most pleasing and the buttons you need the most are the most convenient.

Cons

the timer feature is a little bit annoying and could be more discreet. Also, it would be nice to see a month-long view instead of just day and week view of hours worked

### "The best of the time tracking software"

July 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software has revolutionized the way our small team tracks their time against our projects. It has changed the way we bid projects and track them throughout.

Cons

It takes a lot of time and intention in setting up the software to work for your company. Their customer service is absolutely phenomenal in this regard though.

### "Doesn't do what it's supposed to"

September 28, 2019

2.0

I got the free trial to try it out but never paid for it because I found it so lacking.

Pros

The idea: that it would track my time easily so I wouldn't have to, and also crate invoices. Unfortunately...it just didn't pan out.

Cons

I couldn't manually track my time and add it to a project, then send an invoice independently of that time. I work off fixed project costs, like to manually enter time (not start a stopwatch), so I can track for my own use. Nothing was straightforward or easy on Harvest. The interface was really clunky, too.
