### 1/5 — Terrible app. Zero transparency for employee.

*2024-04-29, version 23.4.3*

The only things you can do is see upcoming shifts and to ask for time off. An employee can not cross check their pay with shifts worked as the rosters are deleted off once they are completed. Nor see what time their shift was approved for.

### 2/5 — Needs bug fix

*2023-11-15, version 22.4.2*

There is a bug where you tap clock in or clock out and nothing happens. You have to close the app and restart for it to work. 
Sometimes you think you have clocked in but it hasn’t worked. Please fix this bug. Cheers

### 1/5 — Issue in using the app

*2023-11-13, version 22.4.2*

I changed my device and then emplive doesnt show up in full screen which is causing problem in signing in and clocking in and out. Can you please let me know how to fix it. It would be very nice if i could get it fixed.

### 1/5 — The sound alert failure

*2023-10-20, version 22.4.2*

There is no sound alert when there is a shift available. You will miss your shift, terrible APP, don’t use it.

### 1/5 — Notifications needed

*2023-05-19, version 22.4.2*

Push notifications are needed. Please add this feature it shouldn’t take too long as I’ve missed shifts and been called up asking where i am. Now I’m having to check the app everyday

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-04-19, version 22.4.2*

My app won’t log me in and I’ve been using this app for almost a year now. Nothing is loading

### 2/5 — Making it hard

*2023-02-22, version 22.4.2*

I’m not exactly sure what the developers were thinking but this app is next to useless. First of all, nothing fits on the screen, so if it did work, you can’t press to post, for example, because it’s partially hidden on the left side and you can’t press anything. You can’t do anything other than view what is there. You say posting? I say dormant.  I agree with Clarissa above - would be good if you could create it similar to the online version. Furthermore, you must not read reviews as no one has answered or fixed anything since Clarissa posted her rating.
This could have been an awesome, very useful app. I’m on an iPhone btw. I’m not certain why i gave 2 stars as in reality it deserves none 🤷‍♀️ Just saying

### 1/5 — Worst UX

*2022-10-31, version 22.3.2*

Can’t even login - it asks to enter a company but there’s no company field…….????? There are single-celled organisms with greater functionality than this app.

### 3/5 — Needs more

*2022-08-10, version 22.1.1*

Would be great if we could sync it to google calendar. Would also be nice to be notified when rosters are released.
Would also be great if employees unavailabilities would sync up with employees rostering system

### 3/5 — App issues

*2022-01-16, version 21.4.3*

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2021-11-20, version 21.3.2*

Clock in times glitch, I clock in and it doesn’t work and it clocks me in and out and doesn’t work properly. Sometimes notifications don’t work.

### 2/5 — Average

*2021-08-16, version 21.2.3*

Are you sure the app gets updated to work with later phones? I had issues with my IPhone 8 and now I have upgraded to an IPhone 12, it’s even worse! I no longer even get notified with new shift offers! So many cool things you could be doing but the basics would be a good starter

### 1/5 — App Won’t Open After Update 25.4.2, Just Crashes

*2025-12-20, version 25.4.2*

App wasn’t refreshing shifts so had to log out and then log in constantly. Thought installing latest update might fix issue but now app won’t even open, it just crashes. Restarting phone didn’t help. Frustrating I can’t bid for shifts in real time - missing out on work.

### 1/5 — Buggy and unhelpful

*2025-06-30, version 25.2.1*

Clock in and outs constantly double up depending on network or if app has been closed or not. Very irritating and doesn’t get better. Alerts for clocking in and out for breaks don’t exist with no push notification feature. You have to manually set an alarm to ensure break lengths are correct based on the pay award. Tech is supposed to make things easier. This app does not achieve that

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2024-12-09, version 24.4.2*

No shift adjustment notifications, so if you are casual and you don’t check your app like everyday you won’t know if a shift gets cut. Can’t check your clock ins either, would be nice to be able to double check my pay is correct with the hours.

### 1/5 — Why no notification sound

*2024-07-25, version 24.3.1*

Stupid app, lost so many shifts because i cant hear any notifications coming ? How hard is it to put a notification sound in an app? Comon mates

### 5/5 — Simple and clean

*2024-11-25, version 24.4.2*

Been using this app for 7 years with my company. Never had any issues.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-12-28, version 22.4.2*

EMPLive is a great app works well and all. I just really wish you could sync shifts with your phone calendar

### 4/5 — Clock In/Out button

*2026-01-08, version 25.4.2*

Clock In/Out button is a bit annoying, it’s on the middle bottom near the slide to close the apps. 
Some of my work mate also saying the same as mine when closing the apps(slide from the bottom) most likely it touch the clock In/Out button. Specially when in a rush.

### 4/5 — I’m going back in the

*2024-01-08, version 23.4.3*

I just want you in the way I

### 4/5 — Calendar

*2023-01-04, version 22.4.2*

The app does what it’s designed to, but it really needs a button that you can use to add to the phone calendar. Adding it manually is so annoying

### 4/5 — Can’t open shift

*2022-01-13, version 21.4.3*

When I tap on my shift it normally opens up with details of that shift, it doesn’t open up anymore. My review and problem from August last year still hasn’t been addressed. Do the producers of this app read their comments?

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2020-11-26, version 20.4.1*

This app is great for allowing me to check my roster whenever I need to. It would be beneficial if it was compatible with my iPad, so I can post timesheets and check on leave entitlements!

### 4/5 — Allow two different accounts at once for notifications

*2020-11-18, version 20.4.1*

There should be a way to receive emplive notifications coming from two different logins.

### 3/5 — Clock app

*2025-08-12, version 25.2.1*

It’s stupid app when you clock on
Going around and out you have to turn off the phone and start again when you clock off it works and it’s using my data on my iPhone it’s only working when it’s convenient not happy jan nat

### 3/5 — No clock in/out feature!

*2024-06-03, version 23.4.3*

Hi,

The app advertises clock in/out feature but does not provide that option. 

I can only clock in/out online, on the website.
