Leave a Review Homebase
First Job
I’ve been working as a Coffee Barista for about half a year now and for the entire time we’ve used HomeBase. I can’t say I’ve ever had a negative experience really. The only minor complaint I had was that it was really easy to get accidentally not clocked in when you’re coming back from a break. Other than that, I haven’t had a single negative experience if you can count that as negative since it was pretty easy for my boss to come in and fix it. I would definitely recommend it to other businesses looking for a good start-up.Show lessSkitterScooter
The best I have seen so far.
After switching from my corporate company’s outdated system to my new company’s Homebase system, I am finding so much use in it. The ability to not have to worry about taking a picture of your schedule or get one from a coworker is a major plus. The messaging feature is amazing and it’s built-in read receipts is comforting. The only difficulty I have dealt with is the availability system. There was a slight learning curve, however that may have just been me. This app is so intuitive and by far the best way to go especially for small businesses. The analyst it’s for my hours is very helpful and the community engagement features are very pleasant.Show lessWeston_T.
All around, not bad!
We started using this app about 4-5 months ago now, and is been pretty amazing. I have it synced with my Google calendar, so when my boss makes the new schedule it’s on my phone moments later. It also makes it easier to see who’s working the same days as me, and it allows me to chat with them if they want me to bring in breakfast, might be running late, etc. This has been helpful a couple times because I’m not friends with some of them on any social media platforms; therefore, I wouldn’t have had any other way to contact them. I haven’t had a single crash of the app since I’ve started using and that’s a big deal! This is my first review for this app, so hopefully this helps someone. Y’all take care 🤙🏽Show lessRandom Goober
A few issues
Since the last couple of updates, I’m no longer able to see GPS of employees where they are clocking in and out. Also when adjusting clocking in/out or breaks I’m getting a conflict on schedule warning. I’m not adding to the schedule, just adjusting time already scheduled. The notes section where employees can leave a message for manager on clocking in/out are now missing. My company is a service company and would be helpful if employees can clock in and out multiple times during the day. They were leaving a note as to when they left one job and arrived at another, but can’t as the notes have been removed from the app. Overall it has been a good app though.Show less1Help1!
Phone app vs Desktop version.
I like the phone app but the recent changes made to the desktop version is awful. I liked the original format and layout of the previous desktop version. The new one is not very user friendly. I don’t understand why the desktop version had to change. It was fine the way it was. Too bad, I may be looking for a new scheduling program. I don’t use this app to do payroll, just scheduling. I don’t need another payroll software. I export time information into QuickBooks. The only reason I chose this program was for scheduling employees and exporting timecards because I didn’t like the scheduling program T Sheets by Intuit because it wasn’t very user friendly. Now, this program is doing the same thing, becoming user unfriendly! I wish you would go back to the previous version. Thanks.Show lessJustin's Plumbing
I like but could use some tweaking
I would like to have all the same capabilities in the app that I have online. I would also like the option of clocking out employees a head of time. The app has been useful and so far I have been pleased with Homebase. I NEED MORE OPTIONS using the app. Another thing I’m running into is not being able to fix their mistakes with clocking in n out vs lunch. I need to be able for it to just do it instead of going to the computer and even then I usually have to delete the whole timesheet. The app definitely needs a few more updates for options. I also have a few guys who have a difficult time signing in and figuring it out from the employees side.Show lessMamabear rawwr
Great for My Small Business!
I have been using mainly the scheduling portion of Homebase for 1 year now and love it. My employees can easily ask for time off, trade shifts, fix availability, and more. I get notifications each time they ask and it inputs into the system so I never miss one and make a mistake on scheduling. I am easily able to see employee availability when making schedules, cutting my schedule making in half. I also love the employee interactions! You can give shoutouts to employees, which creates a positive work environment between managers and employees! l Since using, I have had less tardiness of employees due to a one hour work text that is sent out. I am able to effectively communicate scheduling conflicts and other human resource issues with this app. Overall, wonderful app. Love it.Show lessPrincess Kirsten
Randomly doesnt work and no refresh with app closure
App is kinda annoying to use. You clock in, nothing updates not sure if it worked. If you want to verify any action has taken place, you have to close the app and reopen it to see if the state has changed.
The cash out feature is pretty nice though and the only thing that saves this for me. If youre in a tight spot, your company can authorize up to like $150 early pay through the app that is handled by homebase incase you find yourself tight on money. They do charge your bank account for the amount paid out at the next pay day so plan ahead and dont make a habit of it. Really nice for those pay periods that hit you with some unexpected smaller expenses. Bad explanation but I appreciate the service offered.Show lessStrongSad32
Pretty decent
Its useful for basic needs like contacting coworkers and seeing the schedule. A lot is helpful and well done. Obviously there are some things that can be improved. Ill just write a few things I really like and then a few things that would be nice to see fixed
Good stuff
- Easy Access to the weekly Schedule
-Good reminders for shifts and alerts
-Ways to talk to multiple people at once is really handy!
-The layout is really nice, props the the coders!
Some ideas for improvement
-Make it so messages sent at small intervals are connected, its really difficult to focus when they’re so far apart.
-No one usually uses the ‘Clock in’ button, so it would be awesome to see an option to remove that from the top
-A way to take surveys easily and anonymously would be an amazing add-on but thats optional lol.
-Thats all I got, I appreciate you taking the time to read this!Show lessNevaeh +zoe
Employee user side is awesome
I am an employee with the Homebase app and it’s so nice! It’s super user friendly and intuitive. It’s easy to clock in and out for everything, I get reminders when my lunch breaks are almost over, which is a life saver. The best part, however, is that it shows my earnings right on my main page! It’s so motivating to see how much I’ve earned as the day goes on. There’s also an “earnings” tab in the app so I can see how much I’ve earned pre-tax for any given week so I have an idea what my next paycheck will be. It’s so transparent! You can also take money out before payday without having to ask your employer- if you’ve logged hours worked, it’s going to allow you to take a small percentage out before payday if you need to. There’s no fee or interest- it works like PayPal or Venmo in the sense that you pay a few dollars if you want it immediately and it’s free if you wait a few days for it to process. I’ve never used it, but it’s awesome that it’s an option!Show lessdibeiveihdihei
