★★★★ Corey Burke 5/3/2026 v1.104.5
This app never works and locks you out. Then you need management to unlock you as you can't do it via app even though it pretends you can. Horrible app that prevents you from accessing pay stubs when you need them. Companies who use this are companies you should consider not being a part of as they care very little about your ability to access your pay stubs which is required by labor law.
★★★★ Eva Fenton 4/29/2026 v1.88.3
Thank God I don't work there anymore
★★★★ Simply_Tenn_Art 4/13/2026 v1.102.4

★★★★ Simon essam 3/2/2026 v1.103.6
terrible all ways locking you out
★★★★ ImaNotary Staten 3/2/2026 v1.103.6
Somewhat slow. Management at my company should allow editing for punches. Why isn't the platform available on desktop. Visual formatting is better on the desktop when doing other things like selecting benefits. I am unable to meet the deadline because of this.
★★★★ SkellaGhost 2/8/2026 v1.103.6
STOP MAKING US CHANGE OUR PASSWORDS
★★★★ Kathy Sylvestre 2/3/2026 v1.101.6
app isn't very good. The app is one of the most inconvenient apps of it's kind I've ever used. seems like my employer went with the cheapest option in selecting which company to go with, and thier app reflects that. It's also not very secure, because the only way you can verify your account is with a security question. At think we all know that an authenticator app is the safest and most practical way to verify an account at this point, so why don't they do that?
★★★★ Mark O. B 1/27/2026 v1.102.4
terrible app ! Issues trying to login in.. constantly have to change passwords !!
★★★★ Joseph weidemann 1/8/2026 v1.102.4
worst app for work constantly says I don't have Internet connection when I do and will randomly force you to change passwords.
★★★★ Caitlin Baker (Cait) 1/8/2026 v1.102.4
everytime I log in my account is locked. I then have to reset the password just for it to get locked again. I can't access anything. I'm not thrilled about this
★★★★ ToonPimp 12/31/2025 v1.102.4
Trash app. Makes it too hard and time consuming to clock in and out and is constantly pestering you to change your password that you will instantly forget. This app SUCKS!
★★★★ Joanne Williams 12/13/2025 v1.102.4
not user friendly
★★★★ David Fellner 11/22/2025 v1.101.6
Do you feel that your business runs TOO efficiently? Do you wish your HR department would metastasize and waste even more of everyone's time for no conceivable benefit? Well then BOY is this the app for you! It'll ensure that every employee wastes several minutes clicking through redundant loading screens every time they clock in AND will prevent you from having a clear view of your employees' availability, guaranteeing you plenty of scheduling conflicts and last-minute shift changes!
★★★★ Matt Stringer 11/11/2025 v1.101.6
first time opening it and my account was locked after one attempt. I am still figuring this out and this is how you act? how to places like this stay in business??
★★★★ Josh McLemore 11/7/2025 v1.101.6
The app is such BS it keeps splitting my clock in and clock out into two separate things.So when I clock out, it says that I have missing punches
★★★★ Paul Daniel 10/27/2025 v1.101.6
app doesn't open. using android
★★★★ Kaleb Vickers 10/27/2025 v1.101.6
Meh...
★★★★ Mark Harrop 9/24/2025 v1.100.10
won't open company administration baffled and silent . Not clocked in for over a month. 5 months now still not working every little misstep and I have to uninstall then reinstall.
★★★★ Zamiq Shelton 9/21/2025 v1.100.10
There's always something wrong with this app. It's either slow startups or login information being "incorrect". I've spoken to my admin to have her manually override my account so I could login but going through that much effort is very annoying when all I want to see is how much PTO I have.
★★★★ Daryl Rooney 9/10/2025 v1.100.10
far too slow and glitch
★★★★ Gregory Boeck 8/27/2025 v1.100.7
Too many questions.
★★★★ Chad Harrison 7/31/2025 v1.99.6
worst clock in app I've ever seen
★★★★ Tony Cantrell 7/11/2025 v1.99.6
the absolute worst app I have ever used for payroll
★★★★ Paul Field 7/2/2025 v1.99.6
Can this APP not be downloaded onto a HP Laptop, if not why not? The App is a nightmare to use on Samsung Android phones constantly renewing passwords and then it doesn`t the Times properly...........no wonder the business world is struggling with this management tool being used.
★★★★ Ray Makkouk 6/29/2025 v1.99.6
bad period
★★★★ RM 6/27/2025 v1.99.6
Can't login even after entering the verification code. I have to completely enter the old pswrd and create a new pswrd. How does that make sense if I entered the 3 different verification codes because it it brings to the create new pswd page every time.
★★★★ Mark Harrop 6/25/2025 v1.99.6
won't even download..just get a white page. as for the rest of your survey, how would I know? week gone by still no joy Back to pen and paper
★★★★ sean John 5/19/2025 v1.98.6
terrible why do I always need a code and or dealer codes to log in
★★★★ Tommaso Russo 5/1/2025 v1.98.6
Can't make basic changes to name, number or anything. When I try entering the name field it just stays blank. The keyboard won't pop up and there is no way to contact anyone. Clicking on help takes you to learning center where the session can't be found and is a big white error page. There is no helpful way to reach out to HR.
★★★★ J Flay 4/25/2025 v1.98.6
after the new update I am no longer able to clock in from the app
★★★★ Arvin Morales 4/21/2025 v1.95.11
Needs a Forgot Password button
★★★★ Phillip Laubaugh 3/28/2025 v1.97.11
app is very poor, I think it is down more than it is working, logging in requires a password that is just shy of a dictionary page.
★★★★ Eric Williams 3/25/2025 v1.97.11
this app is bad at keeping information for long and updating information, it constantly signs me out of the app ending my session, it doesn't let me update my password even after several attempts, it just stays at the loading screen after I tried updating my password and my password expires soon and apparently I have to go into work on my day off because this stupid app won't do it's job, if you want your business to be successful have more of these kind of problems on paper not unreliable app.
★★★★ Bobby Bobbatunday 3/16/2025 v1.97.11
would give a 0 of allowed. another, and worst, in a series of similar cut rate apps that HR has paid for that don't work right. I have now downloaded and re-download multiple times to get this thing to work. none of the authentication options work properly this time, other issues on previous attempts.
★★★★ Sie Louangsisongkham 3/11/2025 v1.97.11
It sucks, I work for a dispensary and I can't even get in to the app through my work. Straight garbage
★★★★ Bob B 2/27/2025 v1.97.11
OK app, but the designers must be extremely paranoid. Passwords have to be between 16-64 characters. Seriously? Banks don't require that large of a password. Every so often (or very often if you will), you have to enter a new password. And don't forget secondary verification with texts and emails.
★★★★ Suzi Hokanson 2/25/2025 v1.97.11
I have to uninstall and reinstall almost every time I use it
★★★★ Devjsy 2/24/2025 v1.97.11
This app says there's no Internet connection when there is, and therefore doesn't push up changes when it can, causes data sync issues when using both the app and website for clock-in/out
★★★★ jimmy leach 2/20/2025
Horrible,app lags, have to give information multiple times. Give the correct information and it still doesn't work. Go back in. Put the same information in and it decides to work whenever it wants to. The only thing I would do with this app is throw it right out in the garbage but my company insists on using it so I have to deal with it. It's kind of like dealing with your red-headed stepchild
★★★★ slick mcCool 2/12/2025
Meh
★★★★ Sheri Jamieson 2/10/2025 v1.96.14
Keeps say no internet,but I have it.
★★★★ T 2/4/2025 v1.96.13
worst app. i wish my work place didnt use this
★★★★ latoya mckay 1/31/2025 v1.96.13
Not working don't take information
★★★★ Matthew Warwick 1/23/2025 v1.96.11
This app is horrible. It literally tries to have me set it up from scratch every time I try to open it. This app does not work, it's honestly a disgrace
★★★★ Kevin Brigham 1/23/2025 v1.96.11
Connectivity is awful. I have close open app 4-5 times before it connects.
★★★★ Carla Miller 1/17/2025
Can't log in on the app says I don't have mobile access
★★★★ Solairesmith 1/10/2025 v1.96.11
Past 4 days app has said no internet connection regardless with being 5g lte or on wifi. This app sucks
★★★★ Jeffrey Smith 1/8/2025 v1.96.11
Trying to login and it says it doesn't recognize our company. Closed it to try later, & now it won't even open.
★★★★ nunya bznas 1/2/2025
Chronically broken password reset feature, which is forced on users every 90 days. I have to email HR to force it to reset every time, it is a huge waste of time as I use biometrics anyways, I have all my old passwords saved even on my digital keychain.
★★★★ Dara Pry 12/28/2024 v1.96.11
