TimeFox is a versatile time tracking and project management software that caters to the needs of student designers, service businesses, organizations, freelancers, and even university marketing departments. Users have praised the software for its ability to accurately track time and employees' hours, which is essential for ensuring appropriate billing. By allowing users to track hours spent on specific projects and providing a running total of time spent versus estimated hours, TimeFox simplifies the process of creating invoices and provides all the necessary details for billing clients. Additionally, the software's user-friendly interface, customizable features, and easy-to-understand design make it a valuable tool for staying organized, tracking progress, and creating accurate time records and estimates.

For students designers, TimeFox helps them keep track of their hours while working on different projects. With the ability to assign designers to specific tasks, track billable hours, and monitor project milestones, TimeFox ensures that clients receive appropriate service based on their retainer. This feature is also beneficial for service businesses like marketing agencies as it enables them to keep accurate time records and improve communication with their clients. The platform provides project hour recording, design hour tracking, and project lifecycle monitoring to facilitate efficient project management.

Furthermore, TimeFox is widely used by organizations across different functions and clients to identify efficiencies and uncover billing opportunities. By tracking time spent on various projects and tasks, organizations can better allocate resources and ensure that they are maximizing their billable hours. Freelancers also find Function Fox helpful for managing multiple projects simultaneously, tracking progress, and creating accurate time records and estimates. Additionally, TimeFox is utilized by university marketing departments to keep project timelines and due dates in order.

While users appreciate the current functionality of TimeFox, there are some requests for additional features such as the ability to create invoices within the software itself. Users have also expressed interest in an updated smartphone app with more advanced features. Despite these suggestions for improvement, overall feedback on TimeFox remains positive, highlighting its effectiveness in accurately tracking time, managing projects, and simplifying the billing process for a wide range of users.

Customizable and Comprehensive Reporting: Many users appreciate that FunctionFox allows them to pull and customize a variety of reports for internal and external purposes, with some reviewers specifically mentioning the wide range of easy-to-generate reports. This feature is highly valued as it enables detailed tracking, analysis, and profitability assessment of clients and projects.

Flexible User Permissions: The ability to assign different levels of usage per user is seen as beneficial by users. This flexibility and customization allow administrators to control access and ensure that each team member has the appropriate level of permissions, making it easier to manage workflows within organizations.

Efficient Time Tracking: Users find the time tracking capabilities in FunctionFox helpful, particularly the option to track time either by exact time using a timer or by entering time in blocks. This flexibility caters to different preferences within organizations and ensures accurate recording of billable hours. Some reviewers also appreciate the ability to easily modify entries if necessary, providing control and accuracy in their time tracking.

Searchability: Some users have expressed that the searchability on the mobile site and app could be improved, making it difficult for them to find what they are looking for. Enhancing the search function would greatly improve their experience with FunctionFox.

Integration with CRM/QuickBooks: Several reviewers have mentioned a desire for better integration with CRM or QuickBooks, as they feel this would enhance their workflow and streamline processes. Seamless integration between these systems would save them time and effort in managing their projects and billing.

User Interface/Layout: A number of users have commented on the overall look and layout of the site, expressing a desire for improvements in order to enhance user experience. Refining the design elements and optimizing the layout would make navigation more intuitive and visually appealing.

Users commonly recommend three improvements for FunctionFox:

  1. Making the settings easier to use and providing better user support, such as enhancing the usability of the settings and improving the level of support provided to users.

  2. Reaching out to FunctionFox's support for proper use and setup training, utilizing the available support resources to gain a better understanding of the software's features and optimize its use.

  3. Using FunctionFox for tracking employee time and billing clients, as it is highly effective in accurately tracking time and generating invoices, particularly for mid-size and small creative companies. However, some caution that scalability may be an issue for larger companies.

FunctionFox is perfect for agencies, their staff, and their contractors. Everybody can plan his own projects and tasks, easily measure time for these tasks aka making a timesheet. CEOs can easily see through the global situation and details of each client. Everything can be re-write so there is no fear that something will be incorrectly completed

If you are trying to track time across teams or functions, that is really what FunctionFox is designed for. I think this would work better for individual, smaller teams with similar tasks and activities, instead of for larger companies with more complex organizational operations. If you are just getting started with time tracking, this could be a good place to start.

FunctionFox seems particularly well suited for tracking time where there is one billing rate for each individual rather than the scenario where one person is billed out to clients at different rates. It would seem to be most appropriate for smaller organizations (< 10 people) since those with more people would certainly need the ability to have it integrate with QuickBooks. For the price though, it's great for those smaller companies. As we've grown, we've found other applications that are more expensive and more highly adapted to Marketing Agencies in particular. Plus, we now track our expenses directly in QuickBooks vs. using that FunctionFox feature (since the two don't integrate, there's no reason to track them in both places).

FunctionFox was designed by and for smaller creative companies. For those companies, it hits the spot - the terminology is right, features and processes are bang on, and the focus is appropriate. This means however, that it is not as well suited to large organizations, or to companies that are not in the creative industry.

It's great for each of us to track our time on various tasks within various projects for various clients. Provides a good individual view of work done, and also an overall project-wide, or company-wide view too.

FunctionFox is especially well suited for really small businesses where there are NOT a lot of people to track, and manage. It really requires people to communicate with each other in order to track projects and communicate all other aspects, but serves as a useful tool to track actual costs over the lifecycle of the project.

It's well suited to track billable time and hours, if inputed correctly and on the same day.

For us the calendar needed to be more robust. There were a lot of different deliverables that we track and that calendar didn't meet our expectation. Also, it would have been helpful if the designers had a queue of tasks so they knew what to work on and what was most important. I feel like Workamajig excels in that area.

It is extremely well suited when one needs to track billable and non-billable hours. The only thing I wish they work is on that give the user the ability to select new or different task once related to a particular project once the project has been setup. Overall, it does a great job!

I used it for scheduling, so in a situation that requires a lot of data with different dates and broad time periods, this is a great tool. I would ask, "Do you need a tool that shows you when projects are due? Do you need it to be simple, clean, and user-friendly? TimeFox is a good tool for that."
