I often have several clients' task windows open during the day. I pause one while I work on another; then pause it to go back or to a different one. Cool feature and one I grew accustomed to very quickly.
The developer tries to be responsive, but sometimes updates are slow to happen. I think he (they?) pays attention to the boards and updates *do* happen.
There are, however, still some things that make it difficult for me to give it the five-star rating I know is possible.
Window size and placement should be remembered, but aren't.
Can't enter times into fields; must use up/down arrows. This is really slow. I need this function as I record hours worked out of my office (e.g., not on the timer).
No way to reorder line items. This is crucial for me.
No way to get out of Preferences without saving (okay button only), and I don't always want to save. In fact, the three standard buttons (close, minimize & zoom) are missing from several windows.
No way to customize the invoice or even make sure my logo isn't stretched out of recognition.
Creating reports is a bit cumbersome, but at least they're there. They're just not very intuitive.
I don't use it for invoicing since I can't customize the form and already have an okay system set up in FileMaker. I'd reconsider if I could manage the layout.
That said, let me reiterate that I really like this software for the most part and certainly recommend it for small businesses and individuals.

- Project windows have always remembered their size and placement. Other windows don't.
- Keyboard entry into start and end times has been added for the next release.
- Sessions, Expenses, Flat Rate Items, and Payments can be dragged to reorder them (in the next release).
- Some invoice customization is possible in the Invoice tab of the Preferences and in the project's Invoice tab.
- Invoice graphics in the next release are scaled proportionally if necessary but not stretched to fill the entire graphic area.

This has some nice features though, and the price is right. I don't need a time billing app right away, just researching right now, so maybe that will be corrected soon and I can consider this again.
But being form the UK the date format in the main project window is still showing the US date format (next to Begun, In progress, etc dropdown).
Plus even though the currency was changed in preferences, the project window retains the $ 3 times at the bottom - Rate, Time Charges and Grand Total Owing.
Apart from these minor niggles, looks not too bad!

Changing the currency character in the Preferences only affects projects created after the change is made. Existing projects will retain their original currency characters. You can change the currency character on individual projects in the Invoice tab of the project window.

I bought earlier version in December 2004 and sent him a list of features I thought should be included: new fields for invoice, automatic or manual invoice numbering, different currencies for projects, ability to have flat fee as well as pro rata etc etc.
One month later those were included.
I evaluated ibiz, customertracker and other similar programs. This was the most flexible, least restrictive and cheapest. Still needs a more editable invoice configuration but I suspect that is to come.
