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.

We use TimeFox for both our time tracking and project tracking. We are able to manage the status and tasks associated with each of our projects, as well as track time for each employee of our entire organization. It has been a very valuable tool.

FunctionFox was intended to be used by our whole organization - sales, marketing, accounts, finance, etc., as a way to track time across business functions, clients, and more. The system was meant to help make organizational decisions on where efficiencies could occur and potential billing opportunities may lie with current customers.

We use FunctionFox across our entire organization to track our time. As a service business (marketing agency), our time is our work product, so it's essential to keep accurate records. We started out with FunctionFox when we had just two people, so this was one of our first and most important paid applications that we added to support the business. Today we have grown to 7 users, and the system has effortlessly grown with us.

In our line of work, we bill our clients for the hours of work we do for them. It is very important to accurately track our time and our employees time so we can bill appropriately. Before using Function Fox we were leaving money on the table, which our clients loved, but ultimately won't grow our business. Function Fox has helped us fix that and now we know where the bulk of our time is spent and how to leverage the services that not only we enjoy, but make us profitable too.

I use FunctionFox daily to record my time, track expenses, manage projects, and create reports, estimates and invoices. I also use it to improve communication with clients and schedule meetings and project deadlines.

As a freelance copywriter, FunctionFox keeps me organized and helps me keep projects on track. Creating estimates with FunctionFox lets me track progress and avoid going over budget, which my clients appreciate. It is simple and quick to record my time with FunctionFox which means that even though I'm not a great fan of time sheets, my time records are much more accurate and complete than they were when my time was recorded on sticky notes and other random bits of paper. I know I am capturing more billable hours than I used to do, and also that I am wasting much less time on non-billable admin tasks. I'm more productive, because FunctionFox helps me focus on the job at hand, and I feel more competent and professional, knowing that I can back up my fees with a complete and accurate record of time and expenses.

FunctionFox is used by everyone working at ZincStrategies. We use it to track time and allocate that time to various projects, and to various tasks within each project. In my case I also use it to align with my project invoicing at month end, so the ability that FF has to produce reports based on either client, personnel or project is great.

FunctionFox is a great platform to track all of our project's hours, record design hours and tracking a project lifecycle. It also provides an easy method for billing to have project numbers, names and a breakdown of hours billed throughout the weeks or months it's ongoing. I frequently pull functionfox reports from older projects to track time and actual cost to then scope new projects.

We use it to track billable hours and how much we're servicing each client account. It's a easy way to make sure we're servicing specific clients more or less depending on their retainer. Overall, it's an accurate service to ascertain where our "gaps" are in client work.

TimeFox was used to track project milestones, deliverables, and deadlines. We used it to assign designers to certain projects and tasks to help them be more aware of what was going on with the project. We also used TimeFox to start tracking billable hours on a project which was huge for us. Before this we were not using a time tracking device and this made a huge impact on the company.

I am a Business Manager for an integrated marketing firm owned by Kent State University and operated by Kent State University Students. TimeFox has been very essential to our firm. All of the designers at our firm are students and each of them have different time schedules and it is hard to keep a track of their hours especially when it comes to track billable and non-billable hours for the clients. TimeFox helps the student designers to keep a track of their hours and helps me when I am trying to bill a client since it gives me all details regarding the client's projects. It is also helpful when it comes to tracking hours spent on a particular project and gives a running total of the time spent on a project versus the estimated hours assigned to the project. It is very user-friendly and easy to understand and customizable based on one's needs. One thing I wish it would have is a functionality to create invoices. Another thing I hope is that they update their smartphone app. It currently only supports time-sheet entries (clocking in & out) and not all the features that one could use online. It would be nice to have the ability to at least look at the project reports and employee hour reports through the mobile app and it can prove very handy during meetings.
