Cube Time & Expense Tracker Reviews

Looking for an alternative to my Excel-based matrices, I tried other apps and settled on Cube. I use it for personal time management and analysis of billable and non-billable hours in a hierarchy of task, project, and client. CubeTimeExpenseTracker met my two basic requirements: (1) CubeTimeExpenseTracker combines the detailed input possibilities I need with the flexibility to label and categorize time usage in a context that reflects the way I work, and (2) I needed an app that syncs among my multiple devices when a connection is available, but one that is not desktop or internet dependent. Cube can stand alone. It's adaptability and attention to details makes it a bit complex (there are a lot of parts to it), but after you learn the user interface, you have a superior analytical tool. During a sync problem caused by my incorrect use of the sync function, customer support by email was immediate, helpful, and thorough. For me CubeTimeExpenseTracker is a bargain, improves my time tracking, and is fun to use. No app is perfect, but Cube deserves a 5-star rating.

I really like CubeTimeExpenseTracker. It's a little hard to understand at first but once you get it it gets so much better. I would suggest that there be an option to submit/email times and expense via email by time frame. This would greatly be appreciated.. Instead, I have to track everything and then put in onto another sheet to submit to payroll. I would also like to be able to choose what to export instead of have everything on one sheet.

There is so much room to make CubeTimeExpenseTracker a huge success for the business owner or traveling employee. The graphics and chArts are beautiful definitely easy to understand.

Can't wait to see the changes. One other question is that i purchased CubeTimeExpenseTracker but noticed that there is a pro for the same price. Is this the same or did I get ripped off? I would've gotten the pro unless they're the same thing

Don't pay too much attention to the negative feedback. Most of them are from users that clearly shouldn't own an iPad in the first place.

I am new to CubeTimeExpenseTracker, and never saw a versions prior to 2.0, but I've been using it a lot the last week or so, and this is exactly what I was looking for. The - subscription based - Cloud service is GREAT, the one feature that sold me - enter your time at work, and send your timesheet when you get home from your browser/iDevice/Andriod. It has a lot of customization built into it, and many options, which combined give you plenty of room to tailor it exactly to what your needs are.

This is a solid App, with a easy to use UI and few limitations on how to use it. My only issue with CubeTimeExpenseTracker - issue that I already got in touch with their support team (and got a concise, but prompt response), is the fact that CubeTimeExpenseTracker has no built in Invoice generation system. It does have a great reporting system, but invoicing is not included in the options. Further more, all references to monetary amounts are labeled as "Income", which renders the report useless for invoicing purposes. Should the option be there for those fields to be labeled simply as "Amount", those report could potentially work as Invoices. I hope they fix this soon, as I am not going anywhere.

Great App, great UI, great Cloud integration. Good job !

Work fairly well but I wish I could have more focus on the monthly totals

Keeping in mind that this is version 1.0.0 and is free, this is a very usable app. I spend my day performing a variety of tasks (designing, developing, phone calls, meetings, etc.) Cube lets me very quickly assign time throughout the day.

The only limitation that I've run into is the case where I don't have an Internet connection. So if you don't have a 3G iPad and aren't within range of a hot-spot, you can't enter time. However, they are working on adding a feature, to a future release, that would store entries and reconcile them the next time a connection is available. So that's in the works.

Of course, I can think of probably a dozen other features that would be great for me. But overall, for a first release, it suits my needs perfectly.

I got the free app and have since upgraded. It is easy to use and love being able to see the data so easily. I ran into a problem with my email( no fault of CubeTimeExpenseTracker ) and fear all my data was lost. The support team were so helpful and in a short time I had all my data. I think the support that goes along with CubeTimeExpenseTracker is just as important and they have won me over!

I have been using CubeTimeExpenseTracker for almost a year. Works great but, unless you pay the monthly fee there is no good way to back up your data. I just lost a whole year and can't get it back without doing a complete system restore.

I wouldn't recommend CubeTimeExpenseTracker unless you are willing to pay the $6 a month or so for sync. I have found another time tracker that syncs out of the box with no additional monthly charges. I'll be using it starting today.

This is a great app for tracking my hours, but I wish there was a button to push the sync data to the cloud. The changes in the iPad won't show up in the web account until the program decides by itself to sync. Any other app that has cloud sync also has a sync button.

This is extremely useful. I use it daily and my clients benefit from the reporting, so do I. They listen to users and are very responsive. If I would make a request it is for a bit more tutorial information, but CubeTimeExpenseTracker is Intuitive so it didn't stop me from jumping and getting e results I needed.

This makes tracking customer projects much easier.

This application does what it says. To cancel and close the account you have to log into the website. But the emails keep coming. You become subscibed to their email even though u didn't opt in. I hate getting unsubscribed emails in my junk free google account. I suggest if you really want to try it that you create a fake gmail.

I took and wasted hours entering data and it was lost. I was going to buy the $9+ version. My guess is there would have been countless minor updates based on just-found bugs - and we would have to pay for these updates to guarantee any support. Nice scheme, guys! Could I select zero stars?

I'm new to using CubeTimeExpenseTracker and early awkwardness has given way to a very useful tool. Sergio, with the Support Team, has been very responsive, patient and responsive! So far......a great tool!

Not quite sure why I was being asked for my Google/GMail info just to try CubeTimeExpenseTracker. CubeTimeExpenseTracker may be free, but my privacy is not. I do not know who these guys are and what and why they need my Google info, so I deleted them right off my iPad.

I have tried different types of time tracker and task to do apps. This is the best in terms of its integration and ease of using.

They added expense report attachments to the new version. This was my main reason for upgrading but they charge per attachment. Want to save 20 receipts=$2.00. Just wasted 10 bucks thinking that what I was paying for.

I think that this is a solid application. I am toying with the idea of buying the Cube Time & Expense Tracker Pro.

Why am I having reservations?

Because the cost of synchronization for the everywhere is far too high. I would be willing to pay maybe $20/year or some kind of lifetime fee, but $8.99/mo?

That's a bit much.

Will let you use it for a month and then demand to be paid, keeping all your data from you. Or maybe erasing it. Such a waste of time when they don't warn you that this will happen.

Certain defects and enhancements need to be addressed but I have found workarounds for most issues

First, it's confusing, and not really so good for keeping track of anything.

Second "free for a limited time" means that after a month there's a monthly fee to use it. Um, no. The description should say that.

I purchased CubeTimeExpenseTracker just after it's first release and, while valuable, found that it was difficult to use. Since the first release, they have updated several times each with significant new capabilities added that proves the developers are listening to the users and sculpting the tool to be what WE want instead of what they THINK we should have. Recent developments include a task timer that allows you to begin working on a task and start/stop a timer to calculate the time worked.

While there is room for more improvements, I would consider this a very valuable app and one I use more than any app on my iPad. The only improvement I would like to see soon is a daily rollup of time on the main screen. Currently, it only shows a rollup of time monthly. But for end-of-day time reporting in the employer's official time system, I need to see what I worked for that particular day without creating a bar chart and clicking each respective area of the chart to get the values.

I'm excited to see where the developers take CubeTimeExpenseTracker next!
