Busy business owner left confused [Posted on 2008-01-04]
This product is for expert Mac accountants/software engineers. It's not designed for small business owners who want to hit the ground running with an easy Mac invoicing software. The help function is terrible and unhelpful. I spent 1 precious hour on this software, created an inadequate invoice and then it crashed. I gave up and dropped it off at my local Goodwill. I hate to say this, but Quickbooks is far superior to this product.

Mac Freelance was a pleasant surprise. They have packed an enormous amount of features and options into a very reasonably priced package. The instruction manual is not as in depth as it could be, so it took a little while to figure out all of the features and layout options, but the software does everything it is supposed to do and it works flawlessly. I would recommend this product to anyone with a small business.

It's easy [Posted on 2008-01-30]
and simple ... and takes about 2 hours to get the hang of.

Exactly what I needed and for the price it's pretty awesome.

It has made my life easier and that's all I wanted.

I had been using MS Excel to track time and then send invoices. However, without a good way to track what invoices were sent and what payments had been received I found myself wondering if I had been paid for all of the jobs completed. I needed a comprehensive means to track the time spent on the project as well as the status of each monthly invoice. MacFreelance from www.macxware.com did the trick - and did it with style.

After researching several freelance project timers I found MacFreelance the easiest to use and the most comprehensive. Though the help file is very slim, I found I did not need it to get up and running right away.

After the install I quickly added my first client, several projects, and then was able to start timing my first project.

It would be helpful to know that you can make entering projects easier by setting up your user preferences (I guess that's true of most software) as it will help in getting your standard fees and structure in for all of your projects.

Now my clients can know exactly what I spent time doing, and I can know that the Invoice has been sent ad if payment has been received.

I highly recommend this product to anyone that needs to track time or expenses for any size business. Very easy to use and covers all of the basics.

Total waste of time. [Posted on 2008-02-22]
Seems like a simple enough product, however, MacFreelance fails to deliver on any of its promises.

After installing the software and setting up a few test jobs, I thought I had the hang of it. I then added a handful of real jobs, closed the program and went about other business. Later, upon reopening the program, I realized that all of the information I had spent time inputting was gone.

I emailed macXware (because there is no customer support phone number), and they told me I had to install an update. I did, and again, everything seemed to be working. I then repeated all of the entries I had made, ran reports, everything seemed to be fine.

Too good to be true. Once I quit the program and reopened it, everything was gone--AGAIN!

Now, I've emailed the tech support, again, but I've gotten no response. Since that is the only option to request support it looks like I'm fat out of luck, and several hours of my busy day.

I'm furious with the false promises made by this product, and I highly recommend avoiding the frustration I've experiences by not purchasing this item.
