Harvest: Track Time & Invoice App Reviews

This is a great app for managing your time and then invoicing it after setting up projects and clients on the website. The last version of the app allowed you to manage your invoices, see whats been paid and update if its been paid. The new version removed that option. I like Harvest because its a one-stop place to track time and then invoice. Would love of the app allowed for both.

Simple functions like exporting expenses into any ap platform chart of accounts doesnt work. The help line, is more like an Uber service. Its there, but it has no clue about the neighborhood its in. They arent divided into business segments to speed problem solving...its the box of chocolates approach. Its unfortunate, but the lack of robustness for very rudimentary reporting, support expertise & functionality drove me to switch to Certify instead. And despite any claims by harvest, IT DOES NOT INTEGRATE WITH QBO!!!! The only thing from harvest that moves to QBO is the invoicing, and not ANY of the expenses. Which is the equivalent of claiming to be able to make it rain because you threw a cup of water into the air.

I travel for work and use Harvest app to track most of my time. Wish app showed total hours per day and week like the web browser version does.

Harvest is the best solution out there for tracking time and invoicing clients.

Used to love this app for timekeeping when away from computer, reviewing invoice statuses etc. But since upgrading to most recent release Im unable to login, error message says "your email is invalid". Please fix and Ill change back to 5 stars! Harvest otherwise rocks!!

This app needs the ability to create and review open estimates. Overall it feels like an MVP, which is fine, but please do more with the mobile app. I hope more of the desktop features can be incorporated into a future release since quoting clients while traveling or away from the office is something I need almost every week.

Saves me a lot of time and tracks all my work day time. Its a great app!!

The app is really well done but its not too useful if I cant invoice for my time that I input via the app

I think harvest is a good tool, but this mobile app is a mere shell of the web version. I dont quite understand how such a critical component of harvest, timesheets and expenses, doesnt have approval functionality in the app. It would seem to me that harvest want to appeal to busy managers and execs by allowing them to quickly approve their teams time. This app fails miserably by leaving that out

Ive been a freelancer for over 3 years. I invoice my clients every week and due to the nature of my work, Im billing time to various jobs throughout the day. Ive used paper notebooks, non-cloud Mac apps and even Excel spreadsheets for time tracking and invoicing. Harvest is far and away the best. I have always kept a running tally in a notebook no matter where I generated my invoices because every other app system was too clunky work with while serving my clients. Once I got on Harvest, I gave up the notebook tracking of time within a month or two. I can make a new project and start billing to it almost as fast as I could write it out by hand in the notebook. Ive never lost data. The reports make it easy to get overviews of everything for project-specific budget snapshots to overall open invoices for all clients. Tracking time is fun now. I know it sounds silly, but it really is. My favorite trick to gameify billing is to click the Reports tab on the desktop web app to see a running tally of this weeks billable hours and actual billable dollars. Watching that add up is incentive to keep me working hard for my clients! Invoicing is also great, though I wish there were some more customizations available, like a Total Hours field. All my clients request that be included on every invoice. I need to to the math myself, like some kind of animal ;) But its a rather small quibble and the value can be easily calculated using the reports available in the web app if you REALLY want to avoid doing math. The app is really good at spotting projects on a draft invoice that may have been mistakenly marked as non-billable. It will ask you to confirm (and correct) any non-billable projects you try to add to an invoice. I do a fair amount of non-billable volunteer projects and sometimes I setup billable projects like they were volunteer work. Harvest points that out to me before generating a final invoice. Big fan.

Harvest is a great app. We use the web interface for all our invoicing, and the app for any out of office timetracking. As an admin Id love to have greater access to project and team member insights on the mobile app, allowing me to check in on projects without having to be in the office. Overall, good stuff!

Ive been using the Harvest website and mobile app for over 5 years. Still on the free plan but I cant say enough good things about them. Super easy to setup and use. Invoices are straight-forward and professional.

Harvest did a great job with their app - so easy to use!

I use it everyday to build my invoices

I use the app and website to track all my project hours and to invoice all my clients. My earnings and my efficiency have dramatically improved since I started using Harvest.

Great app for consultants tracking time and billing clients. Be sure to use the Chrome extension for all the best features.

Harvest is one of the easiest and best ways to manage employee time. The is most convenient when I forget to submit my hours for the week or forget to turn off the timer for the day.

I use Harvest to build projects, manage work flow and do billing. This app makes it all simple so I can focus on finding more work

I love sending clients weekly statements indicating how many hours I spent working on their financials and taxes, while also being able to prioritize my own tasks, and add notes so clients can get a breakdown of what was specifically done for that task. Workflow has never been easier!

After trying a couple other time tracking apps, harvest has been a real treat to use. I bill hours and expenses based on projects, and normally have multiple projects per client. Simple to use, perfect and quick integration with their desktop and web apps and it works better than anything else Ive tried.
