Hi Guys,

your iPhone app is indeed great. Whilst using it for a month now: would it be a lot of trouble to allow in the iPhone app:
(1) input of time of a ‘forgotten’, earlier day;
(2) review of the time input for a given day (or at least today), so as to avoid double input and/ or ‘forgotten’ input?

This may be too much, but I’m very interested in your mobile app support. For example, my office uses primarily BlackBerries and it would be great to get a timer app of the BB OS as well as the iPhone. In addition, there is great potential for creating a full mobile version of Freshbooks.

Thanks for the improvements. They are all great. I desperately waiting for the timer to allow me to define my billable units. ie: what is the minimum billable amount of time, 9 min, 15 min, 30 min.

Thanks again.

Great Update! I am constantly forgetting to start the timer and this is a perfect upgrade. Thanks and keep up the excellent work!

That’s great, thank you! It is as if you have been watching me over my shoulder and reading my mind simultaneously.

I’ve been using the Mac OS X desktop widget, but I might just start using FreshBooks timer now too, depending on what’s easier. Thanks for the improvements. I really, really appreciate how you guys are so commited to improving the user interface and usability. Online invoicing is a great concept, but it’s your implementation that makes FreshBooks a killer app!

Thanks for continuous improvement and great meals! Two requests for the timer:
1. Allow the entire line of text for the tasks to be read (even if just when rolled over). I have several tasks that start with the same words but can’t differentiate because the end is cut off. Ex:
CONCEPTUAL ART (High Concept)
CONCEPTUAL ART (Standard)
CONCEPTUAL ART (Complimentary)

2. The improvements to the timer are fantastic, though I’d still like to see it “know” what job you’re tracking by the file name you’re in, or whatever…I know that’s probably not feasible or even possible, as I’ll switch among applications and files even for the same project. Just lazy.

Thanks guys. You’ve got a fan club here.

The Mac OS X desktop timer appears to have been improved, it used to be difficult to edit the time. Thanks. Now if you could make a mac app timer that appears in the dock that would be awesome! (or upper right of menu bar).

Kirby:

Have you taken a look at our Mac OS X desktop widget? It’s free.

Matthew:

The invoice will still show hours in decimal form (i.e. 1.45 hours). These changes just let you *input* time as HH:MM, after which it is converted.

We’ve received a fair bit of feedback on listing HH:MM directly on the invoice. So, it’s on our radar – thanks for bringing it up.
