Hours Tracker: Time Calculator Reviews

by Brurirbfi

HoursTracker is great in concept. However, it crashes often and does not let me scroll down to see my total hours or total pay. It does not allot a space for break time , nor tax deductions. It confuses previous weeks hours with a new week and changes both weeks info when submitting changes. Positive thing about this concept is that it does allow you to download an excel sheet of info. (Since you can’t scroll down to see totaled info, and you lose info because of the glitch of mixing dates together)

There do not seem to be any good time tracker apps on HoursTracker Store that don’t require a paid subscription. I thought I finally struck gold with this one: it was easy to put in my time, I could easily add break time if I needed to. Other than a few interface issues that could be structured better, HoursTracker was flawless. That is, until I tried to enter my time for the new work month. For whatever reason, HoursTracker is designed to overwrite the data you have entered for previous months to where all months display the same hours. I cannot think of a single good reason on this planet that they would design HoursTracker this way, but they did. Now I’ve lost track of almost a month’s worth of time that I’ve worked, and I am having to go to great extents to figure out how much time I have worked to date. This is extremely frustrating and inconvenient. Do not rely on HoursTracker.

I have the same problem that someone reported 1 year ago and it is still doing; the date on top of the page is updated by week, but the number of hours of the start and end days remain. In order to type the new start and end times in those fields, one has to delete the prior ones and loose the data. So you can’t go back a week or a month to see your total hours worked because you have to clear the history. I like HoursTracker and would buy it if it worked correctly, but I can’t use it in this way.

This is a basic app for a one job application with one customer at least per week which works for me. Been using it for three months and found out that you cannot rely on this to store your hours for more than a week at a time. It looks like it would be able to but there is a glitch where new info is overwriting past entries. This glitch was noted in another comment. Other than that it’s great. Love the simplicity and ability to send a weeks worth of hours via text.
I’m using an iPhone X.

HoursTracker has great potential however, it is not there yet. HoursTracker does not allow for OT after forty hours in a work week. Work week beginnings vary, mine starts on Sunday, so I can’t adjust HoursTracker to accommodate me. They lay out and functionality is great though.
Also in the History tab, HoursTracker shows me to be working in February of this year. I did not start my job until March. An obvious glitch there. This could be a greater app if one could store up to one year of data before HoursTracker began to delete the oldest month of information beginning the 13th month.
Overall, to the creators of HoursTracker, please don’t give up on trying to improve HoursTracker . HoursTracker has potential to help many many people. It just needs some more creativity and know how!

by JingleBelle

My week begins on Sunday and it was allowing for that. I thought I did that through settings. Suddenly, Monday starts the week and Sunday ends it. Also, is it supposed to calculate your wages for the week? I can’t get it to do that either. When the days were showing correctly, I really liked HoursTracker as I need to keep track of hours since the company’s time clock can be wonky. If you can tell me how to fix the first day of the week, I’ll be up to a 5 star rating.

Honestly it’s the best app if you are looking for simplicity, however there are a few things that could use adjusting:
1. A break feature for taking lunch.
2. I wish there was a setting for making the pages a bi-monthly 1st-15th and 16th-month end.
3. You should be able to have multiple entries for the same day. Sometimes I work two shifts and have to add the hours for the second shift onto the end of the first shift, which isn’t ideal for seeing exactly when you worked and for how long.

I have only been using HoursTracker for a couple weeks now, and so far I do like the simplicity. I have a couple suggestions I’d like to make however. First and foremost, would be nice to be able to add an overtime rate for more than 40 hours. (This has been mentioned by others too, I know). Additionally tho, might want to think about having a setting for OT to be calculated either after 40 hours for the week, or after 8 for the day as some companies are that way. Have a setting to be able to select either time and half or double time.

Secondly, it would also be great to be able to select your break times that will automatically be entered for each day instead of having to manually add them per entry. For instance, most get either a half hour or hour for lunch, so to be able to set that accordingly as a default would be nice.

Aside from that, so far app is working as expected based on the current available features. Just some minor improvements would be greatly appreciated. Can’t really complain too much for it being a free app, and also ad free to boot. I would gladly even be okay with paying a small fee for the additional features to be added.

This is a nice, simple app that helps me keep track of my hours. I like that they can be exported too if need be. I have experienced a bug with HoursTracker where the first week of the month is already pre-filled with the hours I worked the previous month. This only happens on the first week but when I go to delete them it also deletes the previous month . Very odd. So I lose that data. Would be great if this could be fixed.

by David Glud

Helps me keep track with my weekly hours since I work in construction and have different hours everyday, I really would like to see a setting that would let me change my salary to my over time pay. Please make this a feature!!!! I use HoursTracker daily, runs smooth and never bugs out. On Sundays I get double time pay, it would be nice to able to change that in HoursTracker as well. Thank you I hope you consider this.

by Betterhalf50

Does its purpose for free but stopped on December 1.

Having the same problem every week it, stops on the 8th this time. Is HoursTracker free or not because it really was simple to use and serving my purpose. But this is annoying each week that it is stopping at each weekly pay period when it is said everything was totally free.

HoursTracker stops weekly, why I do know, but I do love it, but it started this in December. Can you please fix this problem or tell what’s the problem.

by Ryanjimj

I gave HoursTracker 4 out of 5 stars. The reason why, is because I think it could use some additional features added to it.

I would like to see under the hours worked - an option to select to add notes for the days. Maybe have where you can select the “Day”, and select it as “holiday”, or “personal day”.

Or even if you take a couple days off for vacation, put that as the reason for not entering the hours for work.

Then be given the option to include the number of hours per day for your vacation (typically “8 hours”, then be able to “export”, and apply the details for that day - to additional days of the week.

Overall, it does work. I do wonder if having the option to “set it and forget it” for the amount per hour would make it even better.

Good job on HoursTracker , so far though. Like with everything, there’s always room for improvement.

by Tb.logan

Well designed, AD FREE, simple, fast app.
0 issues/bugs!

Most other apps of this category are over complicated for no reason. This truly keeps it simple, and does it’s job very well, with no paid subscriptions, etc. Highly recommend to anyone looking to keep track of hours/pay.

by FZarts

I’ve been using HoursTracker for a while, and it really works for me to keep the hours of the week organized, I really would love to have a option to write couple notes. There’s good a unused part of the screen on the bottom that could be used for writing down some information about the jobs.
I really appreciate if the developers could do that and make this amazing app even better.
Five stars all day !

by SeeHowWorthy

As far as I can tell so far, HoursTracker is really easy to use and very practical. My only suggestion for improvement would be that when you set the end time, program it to synch to the clock like it does when you set the start time for the day. Right now, the starting point for setting the end time is the same time as the previously set start time.

Thank you for HoursTracker , many jobs have a lot more going on that leads to the paycheck, so if you have time please include some of these options…

Allow individuals to select their starting day, my start date is on Sunday not Monday, but HoursTracker only allows me to calculate for starting on Monday. I write in my Sunday as Monday but that is a bit inaccurate

Contributions to retirement and other benefits need to be subtracted from take home.

Unpaid meal breaks should also be deducted from hours, I subtract mine and adjust my end time, but it would be easier if HoursTracker allowed you to put those blocks of time in.

Weekend and night differentials need to be included, some jobs pay higher if you sacrifice nights or weekends.

Any form of bonuses should be allowed to be calculated for the weeks when assessing total pay.

by Jimwymr

I need to be able to count for my time in multiple chunks of time. If I work for a few hours at one project and then lunch and then a few hours at another project, then possibly dinner, and then a few more hours at yet a third project, I would like to be able to account for these hours independently. I would also like a small narrative for each of these locations so that I can describe what I did at those places. So far HoursTracker is always at least half wrong. Either the hours are incorrect because it does not account for breaks, or the total number of hours is incorrect because it does not account for breaks. An example; 9 to 5 is not 8 hours. 9 to 5 is 7 1/2 hours because there was a half an hour in there for lunch. Fix HoursTracker please.

I work at a job where I set my own hours and this has really helped me maintain my 40 hour/week goal. HoursTracker is extremely basic and works just fine but some features I would like to see are:
1) allowances for breaks. When I take a break I normally add it to clock in time but it might be nice to account for it within HoursTracker
2) my paycheck comes twice a month as opposed to every other week, so I have to mentally split up weeks after the first and 15th to make sure I am on track hours-wise. If there was a way to group the “week totals” that way, it would save me some trouble ✌️

by Jerm&Biscuit

Great with keeping up with amount of time spent from start time to end time for each day. Calculates time spent each day and then adds those times together all week for a total amount of time for the week. Then what makes it even better is how you can put in how much you’re getting paid per hour. So it calculates everything for you. After each day you can see how much time and how much money you’ve made. Then adds it all up so at the end of the week you have total time spent and total amount due. Great app! Use it EVERYDAY, EVERY WEEK. Plus helps out the boss man so he doesn’t have to add up how much to pay me haha

by Igotbedbugs

So very simple. Was using a different one for years that I had one a old phone, but the phone finally quit. Was looking for a new one to put on my iPhone but could never find one that just did what I needed to do and that was just to keep track of hours without a bunch of other junk. This one fits the bill to the tee. Does just what I need it to do without all the frills. Finally the search is over!!!
Well done!!!!

by Beerkluck0905

It keeps messing up my time. Every week in the past has automatically changed and when I opened HoursTracker yesterday I had to clear a week that I didn’t even work yet. So it’s kinda useless now that I look back on past weeks for my time and it’s completely wrong. Please fix the issue.

My time is all wrong because it’s not working properly. I have been using HoursTracker since August any my time is all wrong

by Abcd123s

It’s a helpful app although I wished it would also have a timer so I could clock in and clock out as I go instead of just a log to input the hrs..I still need a timer from my phone to do that.

Also fix the bug! When you swipe up anywhere on the screen, HoursTracker turns off/crashes. Please fix!

by RobertLud1993

HoursTracker serves its purpose as an hour tracker but its total for dollar amount earned is off. It doesn’t calculate overtime, holiday pay, it’d be awesome if it did all that as well as if we were able to deduct taxes and other fees put inside HoursTracker .

by SuperFunALC

If I could assign a schedule/shift then enter actual hours against that proposed shift, that would really help with letting my employees know when to be here and seeing proposed hours vs actual hours. If this could be done by employee role, even better!

Also would be nice to save preferred email or phone numbers for export.

by Patriciavx

Not everyone has a mon-friday work schedule. wish I could start it on a different day. Other than that it is really good so that i can keep up with my hours and know somewhat what my paycheck would be.

by Dawei Zhang 1

When I go to set my start time like today, I started work @ 4:00 pm and didn’t get off till 12:10 am and it would not let me set my ending time for some reason, and there is a few others things that would be great to have with HoursTracker. Like breaks and overtime amount and stuff like that but it doesn’t have these things I might be asking for to much in a free app. But it would be helpful to have it some how!
Thank you

by Coockiemonster2009

I love HoursTracker . HoursTracker helps keep everything organized and know a rough estimate of my pay. My only two suggestions are that you would be able to have multiple jobs listed and allow you to start your week on a Sunday

by Jsdndinesid

Tried putting in clock in at 2200 and out at 0600, doesn’t work. Tried putting the clock in on one day and out the next day but then I can’t clock in on the next day 😕 oh well, was a good idea.

by Jason 9128

HoursTracker is easy and straight forward. I would give it 5 stars if it had a option to add over time.

by Golden Bassets

It’s great, nice and simple, however, I’d love to be able to track hours for multiple jobs at once.

by JingH.C

I like HoursTracker, it meets my basic needs for tracking my working hours. However, one small issue: when I set the punch in time, it’s the current time. But when I punch out, it is still the same time as punch in, not the current time. I need to scroll down to adjust to current time. Could you please set to also the current time? Will be a lot easier to log times. Thanks again!

by Bcfarmer33

This is exactly what I was lookin for to track my hours for working on the farm. Great app simple to use and has a great export feature to send to boss!

by Nycelen

Straight forward, no unneeded bells and whistles. I need to track my hours work without b.s. advertisements or subscriptions. THANK YOU!

by Shhdbw

HoursTracker is perfect for tracking work time.
There is only one issue (which I believe has been mentioned by others): when choosing a start time, the current time is default, while when choosing an end time the start time is the default if one has been set. It would be amazing if this could be fixed. Thanks!
