Pros

“Timely's automated time tracking has greatly benefited the management of research projects, allowing me to precisely track time spent on various grants without the hassle of manual entry.”
AM

Alison M.

Data Analyst

“It also includes budget tracking and timesheets.”
RG

Ritu G.

Scientist

“Functional and remembered my data so I could quickly and easily re-book appointments”
AC

Ashley C.

Commercial Advisor

Pros

“However, from a true multi-location business operations standpoint, our experience has been very different. When managing multiple teams, front desk staff, schedules, client communication, and payment processing across locations, reliability, flexibility, and offline accessibility become critical.”

Cons

“The Timely app has some bugs which should be fixed in next updates.”
RG

Scientist

“Not offering clients slots that are available, booking clients in slots that aren’t supposed to be available and open times in the diary are not showing to customers.”

Rebecca G.

Massage therapist

“The software is relatively expensive compared to some other time-tracking and scheduling tools on the market. While Timely provides some basic reporting features, it doesn't offer as many advanced reporting options as some other tools.”
PJ

Priyanshu J.

Manager

Cons

“They can disrupt operations across multiple teams and locations for an entire day. When your business depends on software for scheduling, client management, and payments, there should be a dependable backup or offline mode available.”

Carlos B.

Owner

“there are technical glitches, especially with the mobile app and booking system—things like sync issues, crashes, or clients having trouble booking appointments can be frustrating.”
CA

Chanelle A.

Hairstylist

“The fees for cancelation wotj the vendors and last minute changes are challenging sometimes because it is automatic the fees if you cancel even if your vendor says they won’t charge you”
