### 4/5 — +2 jobs

*2026-08-12, version 5.26.4*

great app, convenient, but for those with two jobs that use the same app just to look at the schedule  it would be SO much better if we didn’t have to log out and log in every time just to see our schedule and we can be similar to instagram where you can just access your multiple accounts without logging in and out multiple times. Again, this app is really great to use but that’s the only thing i would add (:

### 3/5 — Fix

*2026-08-07, version 5.26.3*

If you charge for an app i expect updates that matter. Please fix the calendar integration. For the last 3 months it has been duplicating my schedule in the calendar app

### 3/5 — Calendar Synching

*2026-07-26, version 5.26.3*

App is easy to use but I have it synched to my google calendar because that’s where I track everything in life and I swear it sends a new calendar entry every time the schedule is updated for anyone so I end up with 6 calendar entries for the same shift. Really annoying it would be awesome if they could fix this bug.

### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2026-07-20, version 5.26.2*

I just got an iphone after only using android. PLEASE LET ME MAKE IT DARK MODE ON IPHONE TOO! please

### 1/5 — Apple Watch version and went will be on Mac ?

*2026-06-15, version 5.26.0*

This app is terrible. We got update every two hours. I don’t see any changes and it’s not compatible with Apple Watch or Mac. The app ask me for the Password to be changed every two weeks and The Screenshot showing Here are Fake if you fix that I will change my one star to five

### 1/5 — Password

*2026-06-11, version 5.26.0*

It needs to change password every now and then.  This is very annoying.

### 3/5 — Slowwww

*2026-06-10, version 5.26.0*

The app is incredibly slow. If you update in times from the app, forget it. You mind as well just wait to get to the office to update in times because the app takes forever. The app also does not tell you who picked up the shift first.

### 1/5 — Something is wrong lately

*2026-06-09, version 5.25.0*

I just sit with a white screen. It takes forever to load and then times out all the time.. just started happening and my app is fully updated.

### 1/5 — Logout every 5 minutes

*2026-06-09, version 5.25.0*

This garbage app keeps logging me out after 3 days when I’m paying for it and have Face ID installed (which it also doesn’t recognize) and locked me out after entering my username and password. It’s ridiculous and I can’t wait to never use this POS again.

### 3/5 — Connectivity issues

*2026-06-09, version 5.25.0*

Interface is great, but the app loses connectivity every time I use it.  It does not allow me to go from my schedule, to messages, and then to approvals as it was state it has lost connection.  This issue started with the most recent update.

### 1/5 — logging me out

*2026-06-04, version 5.25.0*

why does the new update log me and my coworkers out every time we close the app?? we have to login through fourth and it’s really annoying

### 1/5 — Sf

*2026-05-28, version 5.25.0*

Very bad app
Always asking for subscriptions 
I am already paid for it
Twice 
In App Store and google store
This is crazy

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2026-05-28, version 5.25.0*

Roster page won’t open and I do t have an option to update. Can’t see the whole schedule anymore.

### 1/5 — PUT IT BACK!

*2026-05-28, version 5.25.0*

Whatever update started this mess UNDO IT PLEASE!

### 1/5 — Not SHOWING OUT TIMES

*2026-05-25, version 5.25.0*

Please fix it not showing out times for topgolf employees

### 1/5 — Can’t merge accounts?!

*2026-05-24, version 5.25.0*

Absolutely awful customer service… apparently this app lacks the option to merge two accounts. How on earth do you run a scheduling app in this economy where people work multiple jobs and not have the ability to merge two account accounts. I signed up with the same email with both jobs. But for some silly reason, I have to have two account accounts. Do better.

### 4/5 — Update issues

*2026-05-22, version 5.25.0*

Ever since the update yesterday I cannot approve or deny shifts without an issue.  I can get some approvals through but no denials.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-05-21, version 5.25.0*

Does what you need, for both management and colleagues.

The latest update broke the roster page and crashes the app. When you try to submit a bug report via support you are sent to an AI chatbot that cannot handle bug reports. The AI is useless because if it can’t answer your question, you get the same menu options again that you don’t need (dead end)!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Having trouble logging in

*2026-08-28, version 5.26.4*

I have been trying to log 4 times already and my manager already had to resend me a invite I created a username and password and provided my info just for it to still do the same thing idk why

### 1/5 — 4 error popups for what?

*2026-07-25, version 5.26.2*

Every time you leave the app and return it throws up a pile of error warning messages in quick succession instead of being a normal app that would simply refresh to a new session and allow you to continue without issue.

### 1/5 — Hate the new update

*2026-07-23, version 5.26.2*

I don’t like that the “night” mode can’t be turned off and the new layout is just chunky and you have to scroll. Idk why they keep changing stuff when nothing was wrong with how it was. About to stop using the app altogether and save my $

### 1/5 — Never loads

*2026-07-20, version 5.26.2*

This app is so garbage. Still having the same issues like usual. Never loads at all and always stuck on a white screen. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Worthless developers

*2026-07-18, version 5.26.2*

How about test your update before releasing it! Absolutely broke the app and no matter what I can’t log in and now I can’t see my work schedule. Worthless developers

### 1/5 — App suddenly won’t allow switching between schedules.

*2026-07-14, version 5.26.1*

When a you have multiple schedules & multiple employers, the app keeps you locked into viewing one schedule, under one employer and/or schedule now.

Logging-out/in does nothing.
Paying for app is not worth it for 150+ employees…better fix fast or this account will be gone because we’re done paying for an app that has issues that take too long to repair.

### 1/5 — Always crashing!!

*2026-07-07, version 5.26.1*

HotSchedules used to be amazing but ever since this update it’s always crashing and nobody can ever see who they’re working with now.

### 1/5 — new version doesn’t work

*2026-06-22, version 5.26.1*

sort your mess out. new version VERY buggy & glitchy

### 1/5 — Horrible Update

*2026-06-19, version 5.26.0*

Update made the app just a mobile site version of the horrible web browser. If it stays like this I would never recommend it to another person.

### 1/5 — Always glitchy

*2026-06-16, version 5.26.0*

This app always has so many bugs and I know it’s not just me bc it happens to my coworkers as well. Worst app for employee schedules. It literally does not even let you view your schedule because everytime you try to open the app it either crashes or stays on a blank white screen. Awful

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Dark mode

*2026-08-18, version 5.26.4*

Please add a dark mode for iPhone users, when in preference in app it does not allow dark mode.

### 5/5 — Great when not Crashing

*2026-06-02, version 5.25.0*

Please do another update, this version of hot schedule has been crashing way to much on the mobile app, you can not access roster, approvals, or messages, please revised

### 5/5 — App doesn’t open

*2026-05-13, version 5.24.1*

Just clicked the recommended update and now the app doesn’t open up. Did update on my phone too and that didn’t help.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-20, version 5.23.0*

I love this platform. Use it every day

### 5/5 — Please add multiple accounts.

*2026-02-20, version 5.22.5*

Honestly I’ve had this app for years. I recommend it to anyone to purchase the app when starting a job using it. Way better than the web page. The only thing I ask is can you guys figure out a way to access multiple accounts without the need to log in/log out!!! Please!!

### 5/5 — Funny logo

*2026-02-05, version 5.22.5*

If you squint your eyes…the logo looks like a swastika lol

### 5/5 — where did the widgets go?

*2026-01-21, version 5.22.4*

i have always loved the feature of the widgets to give me a look at my schedule without having to open the app, especially from my locked phone. ever since the update widgets have disappeared and there’s a blank box where they used to be. please bring widgets back!! 😭😭

edit: widgets are back thank you!

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-07, version 5.22.1*

M

### 5/5 — Widget

*2025-11-06, version 5.22.0*

Love the app but please add the widget feature back.

### 5/5 — Great but

*2025-11-06, version 5.22.0*

Everything on this has worked fluidly and easy to understand. 

After the most recent update though I don’t have a widget anymore or access to the app on my Apple Watch. 

Both of which really really come in handy when I need to look at my schedule quickly while in the go. 

Please fix this!! 🙏
