Horrible!

I have not got paid because the app has not sent my time entries to GT. I messed up one and it is the only one that says it was received. But when I called them they said they have not received it on their end. An they always give me the same answer to log in an out uninstall and reinstall and wait a hour but it has not fixed anything. Last week they claimed I had 2 accounts they had to hook together that they did. This week they claim they were never hooked together yet its still not fixed anything! This app is trash and the company is not helpful at all. Some of us have bills and rely on getting this paycheck! They need to fix the app or go back to faxing timesheets!

Thank you for sharing this honest feedback with us. We are so sorry you've been having such a rough experience--this should not be happening, and we're sorry it is. If you would like to share more, please contact us at 877.659.4500 or email us at customerservice@gtsd.org.

Easy to use

Easy to use, but works when it wants to. I have to close out the app multiple times while trying to complete my time and it doesn’t save. So I have to redo it multiple times.

Response from developer

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback on the app's stability. We'll continue working to improve this!

Doesn’t work well

Sometimes it just doesn’t seem to work. I went to clock out and it’s telling me that it’s a conflict because it’s the end of the pay period and that it cannot be submitted. So I can’t even finish clocking out of my shift. I have never ran into this issue before.

Response from developer

We're so sorry to hear you've been having issues clocking out of your shift. We have a few ideas for troubleshooting: 1) If the hours are being submitted after the payroll deadline listed on your payroll schedule, the hours may be declined or paid in the next pay period. 2) If you are submitting before the deadline, please call us at 877.659.4500 or email us as customerservice@gtsd.org so we can look into this for you.

Makes a simple task so complicated

This app is horrendous. Nothing but glitches and problems with it that GTI seems disinterested in resolving. And the layout is horrible, from the small button to clock in to the scroll boxes constantly messing up among other annoyances. It would be quicker and easier to just have a box you can type numbers into. People are forced to use this app due to bad law though, so GTI doesn’t care about user experience.

Once again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If you have any additional thoughts or concerns, please let us know at customerservice@gtsd.org or call us at .877.659.4500.

I have a very weird sensation that someone is watching me.

Just started to use this app a month ago. Every time I login into app there is a subtle flash as if someone is taking my picture. It makes me depressed and anxious, and I keep thinking who and where harvests these images of me and what are the purposes of taking my pictures? And I constantly think about my looks, make sure that I have enough clothing of my body and headscarf before logging into gt app. It is a sickening level of control causing panic attacks for me. I would imagine the gps location could be enough to control. The person who came up with this idea definitely has a peculiar mind. I hope this is to become a legal challenge one day. Also, nowhere in introductory information did I find a mention of get app secretly taking pictures.
I am also surprised that gt portal is not user friendly. I still cannot find my paystabs.
Disappointing!

Response from developer

Hello--thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. We value hearing your candid thoughts and would like to address them in order. First, the GT Caregiver app does not take any photos. So please know your picture is not being taken by the app. Second, about the location services (GPS tracking). Location services are required by the your State Medicaid program to use the Caregiver app. The 21st Century CURES Act mandates that Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) must be used. This is in order to combat fraud, waste, and abuse of Medicaid funds. The only time that GPS location is recorded is when a caregiver clocks in or out or when the participant approves the time. Also, please know that the privacy of your information is safe with GT. We are a HITrust certified company. Lastly, we appreciate your feedback on the GT Portal. Please contact us at customerservice@gtsd.org if you have any further questions or concerns. We'd be happy to talk with you.

it doesn’t work, right.

I have had time completely disappear. I had clocked in and out .Sometimes when you have to reinstall it because it’s not working correctly, it’s very difficult to reinstall.

Response from developer

We're sorry you've been having trouble with disappearing time and needing to reinstall. But thank you for taking the time to explain what's been happening--this makes it easier for us to look into troubleshooting the issues. We value your feedback very much. We recently launched version 5.0.72. If you've updated your app to this version, please let us know here if this helped fix some of your issues. You can also contact us at customerservice@gtsd.org or call us at 877.659.4500.

Easy to use

This app can be used anywhere and is much easier to use than the other EVV items.

Response from developer

Your positive feedback means the world to us. Thank you for your encouragement--we hope to continue making the app better and better.

Love it

I love this app even though sometimes the. Minutes get messed up by one but that’s not a big deal makes clocking hours so much easier for me and my employee

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some positive (and constructive!) feedback. We're so happy this app makes clocking hours easier for you and your employee!

The most difficult app to use just submit your hours. This ad needs to be revised.
