Better than not having a scheduling app

I can check my schedule from anywhere at any time. I used to have to be at work or call during business hours to get my schedule. I also like that I can check it on my lunch break from to see exactly when I clocked out if I forgot to notice at the time. And I no longer have to sift through a stack of schedule requests to see if my has been approved or denied yet. The only reason I took off a star is that If I clock in a second before or after my start time (say 8:59:59 or 9:00:01 if my start time is 9:00:00, I get a message that I am either too early or late. So it’s virtually impossible to punch in without a digital scolding. The time clock doesn’t show seconds so you can’t even try to time your fingerprint verification to the second. It’s not like we get in trouble for it but it’s sorta annoying and completely defeats the purpose of the notification. Seems like a pretty dumb oversight on the part of the people who made it.

Major foundation flaws

We’ve have been using this app to clock in, clock out, and do a labor transfer in order to be compensated under the correct pay. The first of many infuriating problems with this app is that this app is really inconsistent and unreliable when you wanna do anything with your time clock. Whenever I or any of my colleagues want to clock in, clock out, start or end our lunch, or even labor transfer we are 95 percent sure that we are going to be hit with an error. What frustrates me even more is that the app doesn’t even tell what the problem is instead it just says “An unknown error has occurred” this frustrates me so much because even the app doesn’t know why our time clock interactions isn’t going through. Another major flaw is the labor transfers and the timesheets. My job especially, in my position, we must transfer between two different pay rates and looking at the time sheet it doesn’t even say our transfers went through. So either the timesheet or the labor transfer is not working properly and this may affect my pay. At this point I do not recommend this app. The desktop version is better than this and the desktop version doesn’t hit you with errors and works all the time. I’ve completely stopped using the features the app was made for since it doesn’t work and just use it to look at my schedule and that’s it.

Developer Response ,

Greetings,

Have you tried a more recent release? This review is 2 years old and 7 major versions old. We would be interested in your feedback on the new version of the timesheet.

Thanks

Pretty good but some improvements that I think will make it more user friendly

So I just started using this app seeing as I've obviously started working, and I think it's really useful that you can sync your work schedule with your apple calendar. The one thing I have about this is I have quite a few things on my calendar besides my work schedule and I use the calendar widget to see what is upcoming and I rarely notice my work dates and hours because of this. So my minor but pretty (in my opinion and hopefully many others) solution is to make it to where we can add a Dayforce widget to our home screens. There could be a widget for someone's next paycheck, shifts they could pick up, (the one I'm most wanting) the day's I've been scheduled to work and the hours I need to work, and etc. I know this is alot all for a single widget feature but I feel like it would be very useful seeing as most people are on their phones and will go by their home screen and see it easily instead of remembering to go to the app every day to see if you got any new shifts.

Thank you
