Navigating through is confusing. ### 3/5 — Logs me out every time… *2024-05-07, version 3.9.15* Whenever I want to log in to my timesheets from the app, I have to sign in every single time. Regardless of telling it to remember my device… Very annoying and counterproductive. ### 2/5 — Clocking in and out *2023-12-16, version 3.9.15* On the app you have to login in every time you open the timesheets. This needs to be changed to face recognition or something a little easier to login with. ### 2/5 — Works Sometimes *2023-06-02, version 3.9.15* Great when app opens. Doesn’t open more often than when it will. ### 2/5 — Not a friendly app *2022-10-21, version 3.9.15* This app is just a scale of what is used for a computer and is not smartphone friendly ### 3/5 — Great, but missing MASSIVE functionality *2022-02-17, version 3.9.15* A great summary of some things from the full website, but it’s mind blowing that you can’t manage time-related functions. Clocking in/out, managing timesheet, and requesting time off are easily the most go-to tasks using an HR website for your work day. ### 2/5 — Lacks too many website functions *2021-11-16, version 3.9.15* So little can be done that it’s barely worth having on my ‘phone. And even when I’ve been emailed that I can now sign up for benefits, it says there are NONE AVAILABLE! What a waste… ### 2/5 — Not everything available ok app *2021-05-18, version 3.9.14* Why can I not do training courses on app ### 2/5 — No help community access *2020-10-27, version 3.9.13* I’d love to be able to access the help community through this app ### 2/5 — Buggy app *2020-09-10, version 3.9.13* Cannot change the profile picture and everytime I try, it throws an error alert. ### 2/5 — Time off removed *2020-04-20, version 3.9.12* Time off option removed from app ### 2/5 — Lacks ipad version, lacks landscape mode *2020-03-23, version 3.9.12* The app lacks an ipad version to use the larger screen. For an ipad users and cases, portrait mode is almost never used. The app needs a landscape mode. ### 3/5 — Okay *2019-12-19, version 3.9.12* Hate that I can’t see my timesheet ### 1/5 — Are you ever gonna fix your app? *2019-11-25, version 3.9.10* Haven’t been able to use the app in over 3 weeks. Automatically shuts down immediately after signing in. Very frustrating when trying to approve people’s time off. Are you ever gonna fix this or just slowly fade away? ### 1/5 — No timesheet access *2019-11-25, version 3.9.10* No timesheet access! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Custodian *2026-06-13, version 3.9.15* It doesn’t show hours worked ### 1/5 — Subpar *2026-03-06, version 3.9.15* You can’t access a lot from the app. It’s frustrating. I want to be able to view paychecks and tax documents. ### 1/5 — Really disappointing *2023-12-09, version 3.9.15* Not only is this Namely system overly complicated in general, but the app has virtually nothing on it. Not even a time clock. That’s a whole separate app that you have taking up even more space that could have been used elsewhere. You’re trying too hard, Namely. We (virtually all of my coworkers and I) are trying to get HR to drop this system and return to the previous system. ### 1/5 — Terrible user interface *2023-07-11, version 3.9.15* Finding anything on here is difficult and unnecessarily laden with steps. In is a minimum six step process just to clock in, and that assumes everything loads the first time (or two). The synch with okta isnt smooth, and there and links that lead to dead ends. ### 1/5 — W4 *2023-02-09, version 3.9.15* It is impossible to update my W4. Federal tax is not currently being taken out. Other than that the app works fine. Sincerely, Stephanie Gesiewski Hampton Inn Helen Hauser Blvd Titusville, Florida ### 1/5 — Even more trash *2023-01-05, version 3.9.15* Trash…………….. ### 1/5 — No good. *2021-12-07, version 3.9.15* App needs more love. Doesn’t work and is bareboned. Useless. ### 1/5 — Limited functionality to be useful *2021-10-02, version 3.9.15* App lacks most of the features needed to be a useful tool. ### 1/5 — Bossxman *2020-10-13, version 3.9.13* Cannot approve timesheets in app. ### 1/5 — Eye candy no functionality *2020-03-08, version 3.9.12* I have to log into website via browser to make needed modifications to .... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Driver *2022-10-07, version 3.9.15* lol ve the fact that the app is very thorough and accurate! ### 5/5 — User friendly *2020-12-10* Fluid and user friendly ! ### 5/5 — Greatest HR app *2020-08-12, version 3.9.13* Best experience and all inclusive experience. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-03-06, version 3.9.12* Best payroll app I’ve seen! Can see pay statements, history, and w2 in an easy to see and find format! ### 5/5 — Love the ease. *2019-11-23, version 3.9.10* I like being able to submit time off on the go or checking my hours!! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-07-06, version 3.8.9* Love it ### 5/5 — NAMELY *2019-06-03, version 3.8.5* Great system on organizational and communication ### 5/5 — Easy use and functional *2019-05-16, version 3.8.5* The Namely app is very user friendly and very easy to navigate for my needs. I’m able to view my time offs, keep up with the latest employee updates and view my paystubs. ### 5/5 — Best app for work! *2019-05-16, version 3.8.5* I love it. ### 5/5 — Great UI, Navigation, Overall Usability! *2019-05-15, version 3.8.5* Really user-friendly, slick version of the web app. Getting access to my colleagues profiles and one click call, text, email functionality. I use the “Offices” feature whenever I visit another one of our locations and can’t remember the address. The Paystubs + visual history view is great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
