We at On-Core are IT professionals, so we have firsthand experience with billing and keeping track of time.

OPTIONAL MODULES (one-time additional fee required as an "In App Purchase"):
- Invoicing: If you want to do billing directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch then look no further. The most powerful invoicing module built directly into Time Master. Professional PDF invoices can be emailed to the client, including your own logo.
- Quickbooks Export: Easily export your Time Entries with a QB IIF file. Win QB 2007 Pro or greater. Mac QB 2010+ with our TimeBridge app (fee applies). See site before purchase.
- Synchronization: Wirelessly synchronize two or more devices. If you have an iPad and an iPhone and want to keep the data synchronized between the two devices, this is for you!

Time Master can track both time and expenses. You can track time using start and stop times, duration, and/or timers. All time entries are tracked for a single day, so time entries cannot be greater than 24 hours. It will allow you to time across days, for example if you start a job at 8 p.m. and finish at 2 a.m., it will have a duration of 6 hours.

Expenses can be setup for recurring fixed cost items, such as burning a CD, reimbursement of hardware items, or fluid things such as toll expenses, automobile mileage, etc.

Quick reporting can be done on the iPhone / iPod Touch with the Reports function. The report can be emailed in an HTML and/or CSV format.

Adding new Clients, Projects, Tasks and Expenditures is super easy.  You can create them on the fly without having to navigate to a separate maintenance screen. To edit them you can tap on Setup, do you edit and then return to where you left off in Time Entries or Expenses. By selecting a Project or Task first will automatically fill in the Client field for quick entry.

We’ve made everything as seamless as possible, as you would expect from a top class iOS application. Please click on the "On-Core website" link below to download the documentation on your computer.

Pros and cons of Time Master + Billing app for iPhone and iPad

Time Master + Billing app good for

Im an IT Management Consultant and a Project Manager so I have some complex time tracking & billing needs. The only common scenario I can think of off hand this app doesnt cover (yet) is an easy way to do splits e.g. an hour long meeting where I want to split the time either evenly or, for instance, 25% to one client / project, 25% to another and 50% to yet another. My background is in Application Design and Development and Im here to tell you this company knows how to design and build and application!! I watched the videos on the website and didnt even hesitate to spend the $$. I will report back once Ive used it a while. If the app performs the way I suspect then this was the best $10 Ive spent in a long time.
As an IT consultant this app has made time tracking so easy. Excellent set of features, and well designed interface.
As an entrepreneur, using this app just since March has saved me more than the cost of my whole iPod by enabling me to invoice clients immediately after sessions with just a few keystrokes, rather than waiting until the end of the month and risk forgetting something. Ive incorporated discounts, deposits and even been able to send receipts to workshop participants (who dont exactly pay by the hour). I love that it lets me pick up info from my Contacts, saving me double entry. And here in Ontario, Canada we just had a major change in the tax structure (new label, new rate). I changed the old label and updated it with the new rate, and all my existing clients tax info updated automatically. Yippee! This was the first app I used and I learned so much about the iPod in general as well as this app from its videos. I also find the documentation complete and clear. A real winner app! I do also enjoy using Eternity Time Logger, which lets me see (with the press of a button and colour-coded) daily, weekly and monthly what percentage of my time Im spending on billable vs other activities. A bit of double-entry but well worth it.
As a small business owner and contractor, the app does everything I need it to. Invoicing was key, as was running reports for taxes. However, it is a bit pricey. Paying extra for invoice functionality was a little too costly. It should be included. I did try other software, but the cheaper software didnt have all the features. I would have given this software 5 stars if it was more affordable.
Ive been using this app for my home based business for several months and really appreciate the results I get from it. If you need to track time for multiple projects and tasks for different clients, this app is a must.
At first it appears to be a bit confusing to use but the manual really helped out. Very well documented. Currently use this application daily. I also have the sync and invoice module they work perfectly. Take the time to learn this app and you be will rewarded.

Some bad moments

Would be great if I could punch in and out by hitting a go and stop button.
The app name is deceiving, I dont like it how the billing (invoice) piece doesnt come with it. Be aware this app is only a time tracker (There is tons of free time tracker apps out there), if u want the billing and invoice piece, it will cost u additional $9.99 or so READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST BEFORE BUYING IT.
What a rip off . This app is no more than a glorified blank pad of paper. Ten dollar scam ! Nice going , I hope you slip on my ten dollar bill and break your neck.
I bought this app under the impression that the invoicing function was included with the price. (Hence the name Time Master+Billing.) It is not. It costs an extra $9.99 to be able to invoice clients. It also costs extra to use Quickbooks with it, or to sync it between devices. This is very misleading. I brought this to the attention of Adam, one of the developers. He was rude. He stated, "Its very sad that most people think Apps that weve spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on are not worth a few bux, where they are willing to go to Starbucks and spend $6 on a cup of coffee every day. Go figure?!" That was never my issue. my issue is with how they advertise their app.I have gotten a refund. If you think all the bells and whistles are included with this app, think again. Read the fine print very carefully. I do not recommend this app at all.
This is why I seldom purchase an app before trying. Unfortunately, I broke my rule and have spent the better part of two hours trying to figure this out. Ill continue trying as Ive already bought it and the invoicing addition (another $9.99, btw). Im $20 bucks into this so Im somewhat invested but am not happy at all.
After paying for this app they want more money to send invoices. Id expect that from a free app not one youd pay for. And Id bet that in the future theyll charge for updates. If I could I would give it a negative star rating. Very disappointed.
