### 4/5 — Super jednak są elementy do poprawienia

*2024-08-02, version 6.16.0*

Aplikacja jest na prawdę prosta intuicyjna i dobrze się po niej poruszać.
Jest czytelna i sprawdza się na codzień
Jednak zdecydowanie brakuje w niej wizualnego pokazania, że użytkownik posiada oczekujące zadanie do wykonania - jak np. Akceptacja wniosków.
Dopóki nie wejdę w zakładkę Akceptacja nie widzę, że muszę wykonać działanie. Dobrze byłoby to pokazać w hamburgerze i w zakładce której akcja dotyczy.
Dobrym zabiegiem byłoby również dodanie centrum powiadomień.

### 2/5 — Could use simplifying

*2024-07-09, version 6.15.1*

Struggles to sync with online. 
Really complicated to edit hours. 
If forget to punch out for break, would like to be able to edit while working and it doesn’t allow that. 
Complicated to view the week and switch back to day.

### 1/5 — Kann mich nicht mit Google Konto anmelden bzw. Registrieren.

*2024-05-06, version 6.14.9*

Wieso kann ich mich mit Google nicht anmelden oder registrieren?? Bitte um schnelle Hilfe

### 5/5 — No app on Apple watch

*2023-01-30, version 6.8.1*

No app on Apple watch

### 5/5 — Very easy to use!

*2022-07-06, version 6.6.9*

For leave absence it’s the best app we had in our company - easy to use for employees but at the same time have plenty ways for customization and easy to configure.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2022-02-21, version 6.5.3*

Please improve the app. Every time it throws up an error.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2020-11-12, version 6.2.6*

App will never open. Only will crash on u.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing. Never works

*2020-11-12, version 6.2.6*

Crashing app. Never works

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-10-23, version 6.2.4*

Awful. The basic buttons appear to function for clocking in and out but that’s about it. The times are wrong when viewed in the app. At the end of a shift you just get garbled nonsense or numbers that don’t relate to anything. When you access the web version they appear fine. So basically this app is just a button and provides no other useful functionality.

### 1/5 — Bad UX, Signs you out all the time

*2020-06-21, version 6.1.3*

Every time I use the app I have to sign in again.
