And all this time I was thinking Jobs was the CEO.

It'll probably get pulled:
"Jobs duplicates the name of our Lord Steve

This email is under NDA"

$4.99 is pretty reasonable, but it's going to be a hard sell to me because I've been so horrified by the time tracking systems already available for the iPhone.
Funny reaction, I know, but that's it nonetheless.

The big problem I have with ALL the time tracking apps is that they don't factor in travel times but instead treat everything as one long time.
I know it sounds odd but the way our call system tracks jobs it requires tracking the time to the job, the time taken to do the job, and the time taken to get back to base. Essentially what our timesheets look like is something like this:
Start Travel: 14:00
Start Job: 14:05
End Job: 14:10
End Travel: 14:15
The time taken to do the job is not 15 minutes but is instead 5. It's a sucky system I know but it does keep in tow with our call system which sucks as well (don't ever purchase Astea Alliance).
Anyway, none of the apps work properly for me so I'm going to have to build my own. :)

Can't wait till Marketcircle release Billings and Daylite on the iPhone so we can happily work anywhere out of the office and keep up with time recording as well as having all contacts/diaries etc on hand and synched!

@ paleface I agree with you. We need one that syncs back to the desktop version of an application so that it is seamless. This app appears to send an e-mail with csv or text put I still have to enter it into my desktop invoice application. that makes the entry portion redundant. Once on the Phone and Once on the desktop.

@Paleface and newmacuser - Actually, TSheets' mobile app DOES sync with a desktop version. Since all time and project data is stored at a central server, it doesn't really matter how you enter the time data, simply that you've entered it.
