can't even lodge work hours through the app, have to log onto the website, literally no point in downloading this app.
★★★★ Daniel Curea 6/1/2026 v2.78.4
server connection issue, server connection, app glitch, app glitch.. I have used both Payroll & HR side and employee side of this app, funny enough the payroll & HR is... usable enough. However, on the employee side it's probably the worst experience ever. not optimised, continuously have to login, continuously signs you out, continuously has server connection issues and the app glitches time and time again. I can't even open a sign a simple document. Managers waste so much time with this.
★★★★ Rds Ter 5/27/2026 v2.78.4
Why does this app open fully logged in, then log out and then request a log in. Surely, a serious security flaw to display confidential information prior to log in.
★★★★ Harrison Brazel 5/27/2026 v2.78.4
Horrifically unintuitive design and very clunky. Have had to reinstall app numerous times just to get my current employers page working. Guess that's what you get on a platform proudly boasting about it's usage of ai. Steer clear at all costs.
★★★★ Amir Safaei 5/26/2026 v2.78.4
Always down, useless app for a company. Wasting time and money!!!!
★★★★ Claire Bishop 5/22/2026 v2.77.5
Hate this app doesn't log my hours accurately if I arrive at 9.23 it rounds it up to 9.30 yet if I leave at 1.56 it rounds it down to 1.50!? why?? it's basically losing me pay every month I hate having to take a bloody selfie twice a day it's absolutely ridiculous and a breach of my privacy I can't stand that my company swapped from timegate to this stupid decision!
★★★★ Vipul 5/17/2026
Very poor app, there is no help from providers and the automatic prompts go into the viscious loops which takes you back to square one. Providers least care about enrolled clients or customers. Do not recommended to enter contract.
★★★★ Peter Dempsey 5/15/2026 v2.77.5
This is the most tedious app I have ever seen and used. How is it I am just scrolling down to see today's roster and it throws me to a different page, and whenever I try to go back to rosters it pushes me back there INSTANTLY. logging into anything should not take as long as it does. This app has restrictions for text, so information we need we can't get, because there is no room and we need to prioritize what we need to know, when everything is important. there's more, but review max limit.
★★★★ Matthew Harvey (The Deaf Aussie) 5/14/2026 v2.77.5
slow, sluggish, stuck in a refresh loop, had to log in at least twice to clock in, once I logged in 5 times. had to wait 20 mins to clock in... 20 mins wage I never get.
★★★★ Andrew Corston 5/14/2026 v2.76.5
terrible takes far too long
★★★★ Nick Leclair 5/12/2026 v2.76.5
terrible. everytime I'm asked to verify with a sent code... the code doesn't work!
★★★★ Bryn Evans 5/9/2026 v2.76.5
very annoying to clock in and out, glitches constantly
★★★★ Fabrício Soundman 5/7/2026
This app only work when it wants to work.
★★★★ Kristian K 5/7/2026 v2.76.4
Constant crash and freeze.
★★★★★ ME 6/24/2026 v2.80.7
After recent update, clicking payslip tab and then clicking any payslip shows the same April 1st week payslip only.
★★★★★ Sheree Bolton 6/11/2026
why isn't personal leave shown ???
★★★★★ Rachel McDonald 5/14/2026 v2.77.5
I just want to log in for work. This app will work on every level except the clock on function multiple times a week. Frustrating and annoying
