Interesting App….

I recently downloaded this app for my Mac, and later for my iPhone, and have found it to be a pretty well-designed app. I’m still learning the ropes of it, but from a business perspective, if you are a small business like me, and need to time/track yourself, and then quickly send out invoices to clients, this is the best one out there to date.

The invoices are quite customizable, and I really like the fact that I can time/track myself while away from my computer by using the timer on my iPhone. Thus far, on a 4S (on iOS 7), the timer has worked quite well, and the app hasn’t crashed at all while the timer is in action while making phone calls, syncing other apps, etc. You will need to read the manual for a little while to fully understand how to use the Mac app (and iOS version too), but once you’ve got the hang of it, the experience is quite good. Also, the cloud feature works very well, as I’ve had no problems thus far with syncing between the Mac & iPhone, and vice versa.

The only thing I don’t like is the fact that in order to send out an unlimited number of invoices and statements to clients (which I do frequently), you will need to pay the $10/month Billings Pro server Unlimited Plan (or the $99/year Unlimited Plan) from Marketcircle. If you can get past that “caveat,” I believe you’d be good to go. Besides, when comparing that small cost to the sheer amount of money that I produce each month for clients, I believe it’s well worth it.
