### 1/5 — Helping with the abuse

*2026-08-08, version 26.30.0*

They help an interpreting company block interpreters from taking hours to eat or use the bathroom because they can't easily release their shifts on weekends, keeping them sitting around and making them sick.

### 5/5 — Facilite de prise en main et contrôle

*2026-08-08, version 26.30.0*

J’aime bien l’application car je me sens pas vraiment contrôlé, elle me laisse la totale liberté de gérer mon planning, je peux gérer mes timesheet et c’est assez rapide et facile a utiliser.

### 4/5 — Very User Friendly

*2026-07-25*

Deputy is very user friendly. I cannot think of any areas that need improvement. I especially like the feature that allows staff to easily find other available staff members, that may be able to pick up my hours as needed.
My only issue is that I am unable to make changes to my timecard once I have signed out. I am not able to add any additional comments or add mileage afterwards, unless I contact a member of management.

### 5/5 — Very nice application and helpful

*2026-07-24, version 26.28.0*

10/10

### 3/5 — Leave

*2026-07-22, version 26.28.0*

App is ok but access after you’ve put leave in to change it would be an idea to better it.

### 1/5 — Not the best

*2026-07-15, version 26.27.0*

This app is ok with letting us see our shifts, and it’s nice to see the specifics, the schedule and who we’re gonna work with, and offer shifts to people. But this app is also super buggy. It’s always lagging and freezing, and takes forever to load half the information. On top of that, many of the addresses for shifts appear in random places on the map, even with the correct address on the shift information. If they fixed the bugs and freezing this would be a lot better.

### 5/5 — Manager

*2026-07-12, version 26.26.0*

Excellent tool for tracking staff hours , rosters and exporting timesheets into Xero. highly recommend

### 1/5 — Program is now trash

*2026-07-10, version 26.26.0*

The newest version online and app is absolutely trash will tons of bugs and navigation issues. They took a good product and ruined it completely. Don’t waste the money with this product.

### 5/5 — Mr Asiya

*2026-07-06, version 26.26.0*

Very good app and I enjoyed working with the app

### 3/5 — Please allow “view by team member”

*2026-07-04, version 26.25.0*

Please allow “view by team member” in the schedule calendar, like you allow in the web app.
