    I need one that will allow billing at differing rates on the same job.
    Example
    travel time
    office time
    site time
    expert witness time
    And do multiple jobs. Don't care if it's free but it would be nice to start out that way and move up to a paid version. Also it would be nice to have it on the office computer synced to the mobile and have the ability to generate an invoice.
    Don't ask for much do I.
    BizXpensTrkr is what I use for mileage, expenses, time, and income, all in one package. With this on my iPad, and iPhone, I can know at any given time where I'm at on any job. They are synced together by backing up on one, then restoring on the other. Many options include syncing with iCloud, Dropbox, or Box, as well as numerous other options in the Preferences. You can set almost any possible options. There are a very few, (I think 4), in app purchases to add features, if I remember correctly between $2-$5 each. You can upload to excel or print out details of your choice. I highly recommend it!

          Fieldlens, Fieldwire and now KO Punchlist, I guess after Fieldwire having raised over 8mil everybody wants to get into the construction app biz and live off investor money.

          Only one flaw with these similar construction apps. Everybody must be on board. That one person in the chain who doesn't use it, or doesn't use it in real time and it's useless.

            I will give it a try.
            This consulting gig really has a lot of backup info needed to be documented.

            • A few weeks ago someone recommended Truecaller, at this point I can say that it really works. So far I've bought no extras, any spam/telemarketing call you can block so they can't call again, you can even send the number to their database so their calls will be blocked to all Truecaller users. No more solar panel telemarketers, no more "This is Google, you know Google", I'm down to getting about one a day now and as soon as I hang up I block that number. It apparently works on all Android, iPhones, and Windows phones. Looking at all the VC money they have received I have to wonder how they intend to monetize it, I guess they'll have to start charging at some point, but from what I'm seeing now I'd pay if they did.

              • I have been using Timewerks on my iPod touch for a couple years now. Other than the office computer sync-which it may do ? Timewerks does the rest of your list including an email invoice.
