### 3/5 — app error

*2025-01-17, version 4.1.1*

Every-time I get an email or notification from 15five and click on it, the app opens and then closes. Pretty frustrating and has been an issue for a while. Please fix dev team :)

### 3/5 — Decent tool but could use improvements

*2023-03-21, version 3.8.3*

Overall it’s a decent app to track priorities and interact with supervisors and direct reports.  Some functionality doesn’t make sense from a work flow perspective - e.g, the 1:1 and checkin screens should better integrate.  The 1:1 should lay on top of the checkin and not a be a separate space to track priorities.

### 4/5 — Very handy

*2023-01-14, version 3.8.1*

Wonderful to be able to use Harvest on my phone. When typing long responses to Checkin questions, it’ll sometimes duplicate words, have scrolling issues, or bounce around making it hard to complete a sentence. Being able to do it on my phone outweighs those problems (for me).

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2022-10-01, version 3.7.3*

The idea is cool. Specific features that would be helpful:

(1) pulling forward priorities in late submissions. you are meant to submit progress reports on Fridays. If you are late and submit it on Saturday your priorities get pushed to the next week/future report (as if you did none of them just because your report was late). So you have to retype them all into the report for the current/late week just past, and there is no copy feature.

(2) and your face has weird delays so you can’t just type in you have to wait for it to absorb inputs then type the next thing. That sounds like delay between the server and the device or maybe it’s a performance issue not sure

(3) High Five thanks are not copied to recipient managers -that seems like an odd mess because there’s no way to forward it if you were the lucky recipient to show your manager that clients are pleased. The system should automatically copy managers for best affect

### 2/5 — Great service and platform with a totally dysfunctional app

*2022-08-05, version 3.7.0*

For brevity I won’t review the service in detail, but the *platform* of 15Five is great and has been a boon to my company’s performance. 

That said, the app on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.6 is virtually unusable. Frequent freezing, lost data, wacky text boxes and hidden UI elements make using the app a total non-starter. Until these issues are fixed it’ll be desktop-only for me.

### 2/5 — App Login Fields Impossible

*2021-10-29, version 3.4.0*

The login fields for the app on iOS overlap. It’s next to impossible to actually input user email and password. As a result, you can’t login.

### 3/5 — Tad disappointing that no controls of notifications

*2021-03-05, version 3.1.1*

After chatting with support really disappointed that it’s all or nothing. Guess it’s nothing

### 1/5 — Noticeably slower on ipad

*2020-10-31, version 3.0.4*

Terribly slow...web is much faster

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2020-08-30, version 3.0.3*

Am unable to edit 1:1 talking points. Also, when I click to add a new talking point, it shows the text from the previous point I added, which is pointless. 
And to top it all, the feedback system in app itself gives me an error so I can’t submit anything!

### 5/5 — Super easy and helpful

*2020-08-09, version 3.0.2*

We use this at my workplace and it’s a breeze to manage 121s and weekly updates through the mobile app. 

Lots of neat little features that are baked in make this one of the few apps where the experience is probably better on mobile.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Text input broken

*2025-11-21, version 4.1.4*

Almost all of this app requires text input use and the text input feature is buggy and broken

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-03-18, version 4.1.3*

Having had both an Android and an IPhone was not easy to use on either device. I thought it would be better on the the iPhone but had to completely restart my phone otherwise it would only load to a generic ad page
Would not recommend

### 1/5 — Not worth the trouble

*2025-01-15, version 4.1.1*

Too difficult to create initial account. Must be easier apps to access out there. Too bad as it looked promising, but in today’s busy world one does not have time to troubleshoot initial log in problems.

### 1/5 — Hard to do anything in this app

*2024-03-06, version 4.0.1*

This app is no friendly at all

### 1/5 — Buggy on iPhone

*2023-03-18, version 3.8.3*

The latest build resets the keyboard each time you move onto another line, it’s infuriating.

### 1/5 — Hat on a hat

*2023-01-21, version 3.8.1*

Checking in in-person and 15Five is a hat on a hat. Complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Like an annoying HR intern in your pocket

*2022-07-14, version 3.7.0*

The app is okay, but beware that folks in your company will want weekly feedback and data on you. You always trade one devil for another, and after using this app for a year I’d honestly prefer to go back to a written monthly report.

### 1/5 — Not Worth The Time

*2021-04-13, version 3.1.1*

This is too simplistic to matter.  A good leader meets with his people making this tool completely irrelevant.

### 1/5 — Nightmare

*2021-02-27, version 3.1.1*

Impossible to sign in!!! Try to sign into app & get directed to website. Try to open app from website once signed in & get put through the whole loop again!!! Grrr!!

### 1/5 — Unnecessary

*2021-01-20*

I find the high fives really unnecessary and brings all the issues we have in society with social media into daily work life. Cool clubs, looking for likes, etc... get rid of the congratulatory pat on the back aspects and make it a direct “here is your tasks and what have you got to work on next, this is what is completed” and you have yourselves an app. We don’t need our phones to give us complements, we need face to face conversations with workmates to discuss our workload.

### 5/5 — Sales person

*2026-03-07, version 4.1.4*

I really like this system, I have private conversations with my manager, it’s a great way to say something I might not do in person, my manager responds and gives feedback on my ideas, it holds me accountable for things I say I will do with monthly check ins, it’s keeps track of my effort to do my monthly thoughts, you can leave a thought or idea at any time, it’s a great system and I think it’s helps me and makes me a better employee for my manager.

### 5/5 — This changes everything

*2023-05-18, version 3.9.0*

I can’t imagine working without 15Five now that I’ve tried it. It would be like trying to go back to just email now that I’ve used Slack. Nothing makes it easier to understand how my team is doing, what they need, and make sure they stay focused on the biggest priorities. 

I also really like being able to recognize people and keep notes organized through the app. I can’t imagine going back to taking notes for 1:1 meetings on a Google sheet or trying to get to know my new teammates without their Best Self templates.

### 5/5 — The most convenient app!

*2023-02-11, version 3.8.2*

I love the ability to do so much through the mobile app. I can literally be anywhere in the world and still have an open discussion with my manager to make sure we’re completely aligned. The UI experience has no lag or gaps, and when I’m not by my computer, it’s a great way to look back on what my priorities are or the notes between me and my manager.

### 5/5 — Happy

*2022-05-17, version 3.6.5*

Works amazing for my teams need

### 5/5 — Good things

*2022-03-19, version 3.5.1*

In the last two months we have made many strong leaps forward to continue to solidify our place in this expanding industry. In Mt Dora with the addition of Jesus our new director we have made several positive changes for the facility but most importantly to the employees. I am excited about the continued direction of Curaleaf.

### 5/5 — Interactive Feedback Loop

*2022-02-09, version 3.5.1*

Great way to identify & capture goals with daily & weekly tracking & communicating issues with your supervisor.

### 5/5 — Helps me become a better manager!

*2021-12-24, version 3.5.0*

I love 15Five and the mobile app especially as it helps with my everyday workflow as a manager!

Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — What all good managers should do, now in an app!

*2021-12-10, version 3.5.0*

As a manager, I place great emphasis on meeting regularly with my team and understanding their priorities and needs. With the 15Five app, all my best practices are now in a structured app that my reports can fill out at any time anywhere. It makes 1-on-1 conversations way more impactful and productive. I use it throughout the week to let my own boss know what I am up to and what we need to talk about each week.

This app rocks, especially for newer managers!

### 5/5 — One “tiny” feature request

*2021-02-27, version 3.1.1*

I love that on the website, you can react to people’s high fives with something other than a heart. It would be great if the mobile app supported this, too. Not sure how feasible it is, but thought I would ask. Other than that, this is a great app!

### 5/5 — Good for our church staff

*2021-02-04, version 3.1.0*

This has been a good tool for our church staff.
