★★★★ Daniel Brown (Dan) 6/26/2026 v4.71.0
This should be a GPS tagged employee punch In and Out times system only, the current app allows for employer manipulation of timesheets, reviewers should only be able to review and approve paid meal breaks.
★★★★ Jamie Reason 6/24/2026 v4.71.0
makes you have to have a 2nd email address to log in. why would I have 2 email addresses? edit: tried to use xero verify and it says I need a computer, these products are horrible
★★★★ Tomislav Buzov 6/20/2026 v4.70.0
not user friendly
★★★★ Tony Jin 6/18/2026 v4.70.0
annoying pop up
★★★★ James ward 6/15/2026 v4.69.1
rubbish
★★★★ Declan Schubert 6/11/2026 v4.69.1
A toxic monopoly. An app and service that should be a free open source platform is instead another piece of ransomware. No one should have to pay subscription fees for software.
★★★★ Lily Holmes-Climo 5/20/2026 v4.68.0
I can't log in at all thanks to the stupid multi authentication thing. can't even contact xero support because I can't log in! can't use the xero verify because I can't log in anywhere to connect my account.
★★★★ John Cremin 5/15/2026 v4.68.0
continuously fails to let you login the app
★★★★ JPC 5/11/2026 v4.68.0
Please add a search function to the tracking category.
★★★★ Cory Foley 4/30/2026 v4.67.2
still poor. why is there no contact support on the app. one day peoplewill wakeup and realize you dont offer anything of value. shamefull
★★★★ Riley Mcdonald 4/27/2026 v4.67.2

★★★★ Steven Oldfield 4/12/2026 v4.66.0
log in the worst experience
★★★★ Gi Salazar 3/22/2026 v4.65.0
terrible system, vomiting .
★★★★ Hunter Grant 3/19/2026 v4.65.0
my work place made me get this.
★★★★ Zayden Manton 3/18/2026 v4.65.0
needs an option to automatically add breaks to each day, I can't be the only one that has breaks at the same times everyday. sitting there manually adding 12pm to 12:30pm to every day is so tedious
★★★★ Kumara Ranawaka 3/15/2026 v4.65.0
not user-friendly at all.
★★★★ M 3/5/2026 v4.65.0
confusing
★★★★ mickymoz1 3/4/2026 v4.65.0
useless, always problems
★★★★ Brendan Obrien 3/2/2026 v4.64.0
holidays don't accumulate, and sick days don't either.
★★★★ Chris Todd 3/2/2026 v4.64.0
doesn't work
★★★★ Duane Millikin 3/1/2026 v4.37.0
asks for too much personal information
★★★★ Chloe 2/24/2026
The app gets stuck in a login loop.
★★★★ jah lloyd 2/5/2026 v4.63.0
trash app! nowhere does it says you need to download a xero verify app also.. and now I can't get back into my details because the app asked me to create a password for to login, now I get a prompt a message saying "your permission to - - - - ltd. have changed".... I check for help, confusing!! in the end, zero help, had enough of the app, went back to workshop app.. zero problems
★★★★ Shane 2/4/2026 v4.63.0
garbage. way too hard to login especially across multiple devices. it's not even worth 1 star. it's -5 stars. HATE HATE HATE THIS APP. EXTREMELY ANNOYING & FRUSTRATING JUST TO SUBMIT PAY.
★★★★ Jesse Howe 1/29/2026 v4.62.0
don't want 2 emails and don't need them
★★★★ Simon Munro 1/18/2026 v4.60.0
always hard to log in
★★★★ Matt Kirkpatrick 1/13/2026 v4.61.0
Not an app. Just opens a web browser that runs in the app. Difficult to use and worse than other silimar type HR admin type software. Edit, to devs; Yes I logged on and it stayed as a browser
★★★★ Gary Devine 1/5/2026 v4.61.0
it takes far too long to jump through all the bloody hoops you have in place just to stop people from logging in.
★★★★ Gerry Lachmann 12/29/2025 v4.60.0
inconvenience
★★★★ Rodrigo Bogar Sylvestre 12/9/2025
It requests a authentication application to login. To use the xero app to authenticate my login, it requests me to login the app. But, I can't do it because I can't use Xero a to authenticate. to contact support I need to login into the app.
★★★★ 100 Ksi 11/16/2025 v4.57.0
It sends you on a loop of Authentication and lost temper. Waste of time
★★★★★ THE-PACIFIER 7/1/2026 v4.70.0
just downloaded it and won't let me log in . I can access the pdf file with my password but won't let me log into the app. says email or password incorrect 🤷🏻‍♂️
★★★★★ Akira Zosens 6/26/2026 v4.69.1
App is very quick and user-friendly but unfortunately takes up a lot of space (data and battery power). Having to download an additional app just to authenticate is also a nuisance.
★★★★★ Kieran Watkins 6/21/2026 v4.70.0
"Successfully submitted claim" pop up blocks me from clicking straight onto "add expense". Please make this annoying notification dismissable by swiping or change its placement. Can you please add an AI function that reads receipts and adds each item ready to be coded and can be made to pre-empt codes for previously entered items.
★★★★★ Trent Symons 4/12/2026 v4.66.0
When entering hours worked you have to wait almost an entire second after every number you click, before clicking the next, or it won't register the next number was even clicked. This has been an issue for literal years and greatly slows down the integral task of filling out a time sheet.
★★★★★ Alight 2/22/2026 v4.64.0
A wee bit Janky. plus also having to use this app, as well as verify, as well projects, annnnd the desktop client is a pain.
★★★★★ Jacques Keartland 1/19/2026 v4.61.0
when capturing a till slip with the camera, you have to take multiple shots before the slip is recognised for analysis. This never used to happen, just recently. I use this app daily for my business and having to waste time trying to get it to recognise the slip is painful and frustrating!
★★★★★ Aneva Marsh 12/8/2025 v4.59.0
I'm having so many issues logging in. It use to be so easy. Now it transfers me to a website. it sucks.
★★★★★ Donna Valley 12/7/2025 v4.59.0
I don't find the set up or log in user friendly / not easy.
★★★★★ Person 11/25/2025 v4.58.2
trying to add annual leave hours is a nightmare. the amount of times I have submitted and approved my leave just to see it zerod thr amount of hours and I didn't get paid. also, fix your sick leave. nz does it in days not hours and it always creating a mess. needs to be sorted out.
★★★★★ Tal Neder 11/17/2025 v4.58.2
The leave input should be in fractions, ie 7.6, instead of hours and minutes. Or at least support both options.
★★★★★ Brendan S 11/10/2025 v4.57.0
Missing "next pay day" details, long overdue feature - web Version is more useful. Deleting the app for now.
★★★★★ Ava 11/7/2025 v4.57.0
Rubbish for filling out time sheets; only gives you one pop up option to input start time; can't add a break and end time like you can on desktop/web browser
