### 5/5 — Work

*2022-09-12, version 2.8.5*

Excellent

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-07-12, version 2.6.7*

I really wanted to like this app. For several years we have been using an Annual Leave Excel Macro created by the developers of this app and it has been brilliant. Simple but brilliant. Unfortunately, despite contacting them a number of times, I have been unable to download the macro this year and can only assume that they have withdrawn it in favour of this all singing, all dancing app.

It is far more complicated than we need. We are a small team, don’t need the ability to apply for leave or to have it approved… we just want a wall chart so we can check when colleagues are planning leave when planning our own. Having the macro (or an app) that calculates how many days have been taken and how many remain etc. is a bonus. Also, having an app so that we can all view it wherever we happen to be would have been wonderful.

Sadly, this app just isn’t what we need. Back to the drawing board.

### 5/5 — RZ

*2021-03-09, version 2.6.4*

Great app!! Very helpful indeed

### 1/5 — Main function not working

*2020-01-23*

Can’t add (+) a new request without the app crashing. Pretty useless main feature.

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to read that you are having difficulties. Please can you contact our support team so we can resolve this for you - https://www.leavedates.com/support/

### 1/5 — No option to register - so how is it meant to work?

*2019-12-19, version 2.2.0*

Decided to give this App a trial to see if it would meet the needs of my small team, but it failed at the first hurdle. Downloaded the App and there is no option to register my details. Both on iPad and iPhone the only option is to login - which I have tried assuming that it would tell me that I am not registered and provide an opportunity to register. 

Sadly not. All I get is an error message saying “The username or password is not correct”.

Perhaps I am missing something, however there is no obvious way to register and use the App!!!! So either the previous reviewers already had access or they are just smarter than me - or they are from the developers themselves.

Shame as this looked like it could be a good solution.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-10-31, version 2.0.0*

Super easy to use, configure and seamless integration with other calendars. Really pleased - even my non technical staff worked it out in minutes

### 5/5 — Peacock motor engineers

*2019-10-26, version 2.0.0*

Great app and system for keeping track of your staffs time off
