Pros
Pro Light version available
There is a cheaper light version available for those that don't need the full functionality of the app or would like to try it out without spending the more money on the more expensive version.
Pro Export time to CSV
Users can export CSV files from the app to use for billing, etc. Though this does require the non light version.
Pro An internet connection isn't required
Due to the app having no cloud sync there is no need to have an internet connection for the app to run. Everything it does is local to the device.
Pro Sync time across devices using a shared folder
While not necessarily the easiest of options (really more a work around to the apps limited functionality) users can sync the apps files to a shared folder or cloud storage folder in order to have sync'd time across Mac's.
Pro Free version
Free for up to 10 users.
Pro Simple userinterface with advanced functions
Pro Helpful support
Pro has every function you need and more, incredibly easy setup guide when you create the system
Even with the app missing, this the most userfriendly system I have tried so far. When creating the system, you follow a very simple guide, that walks you through all the system's modules and functions, and allows you to customize it all to fit your needs. Also, you can easily get the app icon on your phone, that opens up the system in your browser when you click it. It works just as good as an actual app in my opinion.
Cons
Con Only available for OSX
Can only be used on OSX devices, which is pretty limiting for those that use multiple OS's.
Con no app, still easy to use from the phone though.
The app missing is not a huge problem for me at all. They have a guide for both Android and Apple on how to get the icon on your phone's homepage, which works just as fine. The only difference is that the system opens up in your mobile browser instead. It almost looks like an app.
