As someone who might work on three or four different projects a day that are all billed separately, the service is a cornerstone of my time tracking and invoicing processes. I’ve used Paymo for years and typically depended on the desktop client or widget because the earlier app was very lackluster.Paymo’s latest updates to the app brings a more modern appearance and it seems very stable on my iPhone and iPad.I wish I could handle invoicing from the app as well. Then I could just avoid the website entirely, but this is a solid start and worth checking out — even if you weren’t impressed with early versions of the app.

I provide web design services and I have gone through at least 25 CRMs over the years trying to find the right fit. Some of them didn’t have enough features some had way too many that just didn’t fit and I didn’t feel like I paying for features that I’m not going to use. I also still used other apps (invoicing, email, contact management) to complete other parts of the process. Finally I found Paymo by mistake actually in the App Store and the main thing that’s important to me is mobility. Now I can copy a request from a text message and add it to the system and not skip a beat and also not forget the client text me instead of emailing me so it makes things easier on both of us. I found a lot of systems were great on the web but lacked on mobile the only difference with this one is invoicing but I rarely invoiced on the go anyway. I have sent invoices and estimates easily and got paid within the first three days of using the app it really makes things so much easier for me and the price is great as well and being a single user it doesn’t require me to find 4 other people that I have to pay for just to use the system. It has increased my productivity so much due to the ease of data entry and I’m much happier now that I don’t have to spend loads of time adding stuff and I can really focus on what’s important my design projects. I’ve even created a project for my own business revamp. Oh!! AND I CAN READ THE FONT ON THE MOBILE APP. Not sure why app designers make the font in anything less than 12pt. That was mother major win for me with this app I don’t have to strain to actually complete a task.

I truly love the desktop version of Paymo but this app includes almost none of the features that make Paymo worth it. - No time entries except for your own (I manage a full team and am meant to check their time entries daily)- No team scheduling. This is 90% of my job so this is very frustrating - No task or project filtering so you have to scroll through tons of completed tasks to view the ones that still need to be done - Can’t view any task bookings - Can’t view time entries that aren’t your own on tasks - The UI is not well utilized on larger screens. So much more information could be shown in the project tasks overview such as task description and estimated hours similarly to the desktop app. Currently you have to click on tasks for any details These are my primary pain points. This would all be fine if the actual website was available via the browser but it forces you to download the app. In a response to a separate review, the Paymo team mentioned that this isn’t possible due to screen real estate but, if I look at Paymo on a desktop, I can make my window a third of the size of my iPad screen and it still works just fine. Even if it looked janky, I would be so happy to just be able to use the necessary features! As someone that has recently switched to primarily tablet working due to being on the go with work often, I am having to consider other project management softwares that actually allow you to manage projects from other devices. Hopefully I’ll find a workaround because Paymo is great on a desktop.

I really like and appreciate Paymo. It’s been a low cost way for me to keep track of my self initiated web design samples, and now my paid work. It’s a lot more powerful than I first gave it credit for. Once you use it enough, you realize how complex the software is. It isn’t perfect but really, really good for the price. The only real gripe I have with it is its styling. It has a lot of light grey backgrounds with just darker than medium grey text. The hierarchy gets lost sometimes - nothing a CSS extension won’t fix though. I love it Paymo! Thanks for the great app!!!
