Jobs time tracking app debuts for iPhone

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. :)

@ 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.
