Toggl Track Reviews: 4.6/5 — Highly Rated

Toggl is aesthetically pleasing and pretty easy to use, even for people who aren't technologically savvy

Some of the options seem unnecessary and it can be confusing to access some parts of the application

Easy way to track time

Toggl offers several ways to track time, from a mobile app to an extension on my Chrome browser. Another feature I especially like is that Toggl will remind me to track my time, which is especially important once I start getting head down into project mode. Being able to categorize my clients and projects also gives me a smarter picture of just how my time is spent between clients, allowing me to make adjustments along the way.

Toggl offers powerful and robust reporting, but much of it is locked behind a paid subscription. For my purposes, the free version is enough.

One of the biggest benefits to using Toggl is having a realistic picture of how much time I spend on various projects and clients. As such, I've become much better at pricing my services knowing with certainty how similar projects compare in terms of my time.

It has a simple. straightforward interface with a convenient browser plugin

All its does is keep time. It does that really well, but we've since upgraded to a software that can keep time, as well as many other functions.

Before Toggl, we were just estimating how much time we were spending on projects, but with Toggl, we were able to prove how much time we had spent and bill our clients accordingly.

It had an easy userface, and was simple to grasp.

Honestly, there was very little for me to dislike. I was able to detail the work that I had done and the timeframe in which I had done it.

My administrator was pleased with the way Toggl worked. As a freelancer and user, it seemed to really keep me honest (to the point where I may have underbilled for the work I did).

Works well as a simple timer or as a more advanced time tracking solution with statistics

Timer doesn't stop automatically when you close tab

Free time tracking with good labelling and statistics

I like that it's very simple to use and it can be run in the background.

I wish it had some sort of automatic tracking when you use certain programs. Most time-trackers charge for this, but it'd be nice if it had a free option to do this.

I have solved the business problem of pricing of services. We now have a way to track how much time is actually spent doing certain tasks, so we know how to accurately price things for our clients.

The timer option is fantastic and the consolidation of various team reports.

The limited number of team members that you can add to a project. Initially, it was quite confusing to use, as it was unclear what the differentiation between projects/tasks/teams were.

Much easier (and eco-friendly!) to track everyone's work online. Easy to see graphs make it easier to consolidate data.

I like that you can add different clients and add projects to each easily. It pretty user friendly and I can keep track of all the different clients. The summary reports are nice to see how much time was spent on a project or with a client. The dashboard gives a good snapshot of what was done that day or week. Its easy to keep track of your time and where it was spent.

I wish that the billing option for projects was part of the free option. I just track my time with the tracker and add up the billing myself but it would be nice if the program would do it for free. Since its just me in the company, I hate to pay for a feature that I can do myself.

One of my problems is keeping track clients and projects. I work on a project basis so knowing what tasks and projects belong to which clients can be difficult. Also keeping track of the time spent on projects was kind of time consuming but with the program it is easy and saves time in the end.

I like the ability to track my work on a specific project with different sub-tasks

It is difficult to manually enter time spent on an activity

For now, I am simply tracking my efficiency in a job that does not focus directly on that, which is good for myself to know.

I like that toggle can be accessed on your cell phone and is continuous. It really assists in tracking our internal ROI and profitability with tracking my teams time on projects we have scoped out to clients. It's real-time and user friendly. It's easy to add projects, the type of projects and sub-projects under a clients name.

Toggl recently went through and update and it will group likewise projects together. I was having a hard time going back into my toggle and seeing what time in the day I was doing what, come to find you and remove the feature. I wish it was made more apparent as everyone on my team was frustrated.

Tracks profitability and ROI very easily - you can pull reports from Toggl and run analysis from Excel.

I like being able to track time for multiple projects. That's it; the site is pretty straightforward.

If you forget to stop a timer, toggl doesn't notify you until 8 hours have passed. I'd like to get notifications earlier.

I usually charge by the project, not by the hour, so the toggl tracking is just for my personal information. I like knowing how long I've spent on an article so I know if I need to try to speed up. It's also helpful to determine the average time I spend on an article so I can charge an appropriate rate for my time.

I like the flexibility--apps that tie me to a specific time period don't really work for me.

I like using the mini timer, which stays on top of other programs on my desktop. But the timer always disappears into the background when I put it down on the taskbar...which means I don't really use it much!

Toggl keeps me motivated to stay on task.

Toggl's ease of use is one of its best features. I love being able to use the desktop app, or the website, or the iPhone app as needed to quickly start and stop any time tracking activity. I've been a loyal user for years and the simplicity of Toggl is truly remarkable.

There was a recent update to the interface that I'm still working my way through, and it changed some of the customized colors I had set for clients and projects. I also discovered that I can no longer use the "Continue" button on tasks, and rather each time I stop and start something it creates a new entry. This is going to wreak havoc with my invoicing system, so I am currently looking for alternative solutions

I have dozens of clients, and in any given day will do work for up to a dozen different clients. This requires organization and the ability to quickly track a few minutes here and there without much effort. Toggl allows me to do that easily and seamlessly, incorporating with my billing software (Freshbooks) so I don't have to worry about manually creating invoices either.

Simple to use and great for simple time tracking.

Wanted to add all projects and tasks and track for everyone.

Task management and time tracked.

Ease of use. Very simple app to learn, manage, and use.

Other applications seem to be bringing new and better ways to track time. I believe Toggl is also working on some automated tracking, but it feels Toggl could improve more frequently—even subtly.

We understand our capacity, when we're working at that capacity, and when (and why) we aren't.

This isn't the end-all-be-all of timing apps, but it comes pretty close. Once you get past a sizable learning curve, tracking my time based on what projects I'm doing is great and a fantastic way to learn where my time is going over the course of the month.

It took a while to put in the projects, clients, etc. to get to the point where I could easily categories and track my time/task with just a click or to, but other than that learning curve, I've found it really useful. I could do without so many notifications about Toggl blog posts, though.

In particular, I like to use the app to track my work hours and (at the end of each month) look over the data collected about my time. How am I using my time and has it been worth it? Toggl makes that easy.

Google chrome integration has been really helpful It is easy to start and stop with broswer

It is hard to assign tags or projects. It doesn't seem clear between a project or a site. It wasn't intuitive so I still don't understand it and am confused

I am able to try to make sure I stay on the task at hand.

Easy to use. Have accessible web app and desktop apps.

Some reporting isn't quite as flexible as I need for my company.

Time tracking as a consultant. Different projects/clients etc..

The speed at which you can be set up and tracking time is great. The UI has seen improvements over the last few months. It also just rolled out an integration with Google Drive, which is cool.

When filtering reports it can be a little clunky and could benefit from a smoother experience. It would also be good to be able to add time estimates for projects to see progress and know how much time is left at a glance.

Keeping track of time for projects; a free way to track time for the time being.

I like the running time tracking features and I like the reports it gives you. Makes timesheets easier.

I dislike the new format. I was used to the old format. It worked well and I feel like the visual design was better. I am a graphic designer and I find the new site layout to be tough to look at and navigate through,

Toggl solves my time tracking problems. I work on multiple jobs each day and toggl is perfect for keeping everything together for me.

It's super easy to track time, create projects and add team members. The basic function of actually tracking time and that part of the interface was really attractive to our team.

Right now, I can't assign a different hourly rate to each team member, I can only assign one hourly rate for all users. Also getting to the reports you might want is kind of cumbersome. You can't view detailed reports on archived projects, which is annoying bc I"m often referencing past projects for scoping. I don't like leaving completed projects open so I have to reopen old projects to view their detailed report.

Time tracking and scoping using past project data

I like that I can name and select what I'm tracking. If you get paid for hourly work or have a job that can take longer than needed, this is a good tool. I use it for my teaching assistance work in which I should be working 20 hours per week; however, tracking helps me so that I can tell my boss that the workload is more than what it needs to be if I consistently am over 20 hours or can ask for a pay raise.

I don't particularly appreciate that I can't pause and restart. I can be working and pause for 10 minutes to do something else, but then I must stop and restart. That aspect is pretty inconvenient.

I am using a tool that I can share with others to show that I am mindful of my work. It also shows me my estimates of my efficiency and productivity. I can check whether a task that I think would take two hours actually ends up being two hours etc., which is a valuable tool for future planning.

You are able to see multiple projects at once and work on them simultaneously

After the 30 day free trial, you do have to pay, and a lot of the tasks can just be done in Google Calendar or even Google Docs

Currently experimenting with it to see if I want to use It for my team next year for coordinating meeting and event schedules

I like that it has a free option for individuals that don't need a super detailed look at where their time is spent.

I wish it were more automatic. I forget to turn it on often, or to go back and switch tasks. But I guess that would pretty much be what the "screen time" feature does for Mac/iPhone users.

I use it to keep track of time spent on my computer/phone. Just personal metrics really.

It does have the feature to help you keep track of time on different projects. You can also have multiple different projects.

It's a little hard to navigate. I do not feel it as very user friendly to be totally honest.

When I first started my virtual assisting business I needed a way to keep track of my time accurately to send to my clients. This was the first way I did that since I could 'clock in' and 'clock out' properly without actually having to be in an office punching a time clock.

Time Sheets for all my clients and users Invoicing and generating quotes based on used time and real spent time On a personal level, knowing how much I spend on each project gives me clarity of purpose and activity

Web based only No way to track multiple activities at the same time No way to automatically

Getting the time we spend on each client and charging them accordingly Limiting the time I spend on an activity gives me more time to focus on other parts of the business

I like that there is a companion app, but usually use the web interface.

The app is not as easy to use as the web interface.

Time sheet management, billing management.

It's a very easy interface, and very aesthetically pleasing, so it makes it enticing to use.

It's not necessarily great for time management, because switching between tasks all day isn't a very intuitive process.

It's amazing for billable projects, because you can really pinpoint how much time you spend on tasks and get an accurate reading on how much time you're spending per project.

the app is not glitchy at all and the UI makes it easy to do everything

It is limited. I have used other time tracking softwares and this is truly just an app

time tracking, keeping deadlines and assigning tasks. Saved time

Google Chrome extension makes it simple to begin tracking from anywhere

Timers can go rogue and there can be some issues with overlapping events

Being able to look back on how much time I spent on customer calls/work
