### 5/5 — Great idea and execution

*2018-12-17, version 3.17.3*

This app is easy to use, intuitive and pretty! I love being able to get in touch with my coworkers easily, all in one place. I don’t like having to text them all or use archaic forms of communication to keep in touch and get coverage. Latest patch increased the speed of the app exponentially and I’m really looking forward to what’s to come. Thanks Our People well done.

### 5/5 — Good idea, app works well

*2018-12-14, version 3.17.3*

Useful when co-ordinating multiple workers on a shift rota. I work in the healthcare system and find the secure messaging ability useful - saves on using WhatsApp and gives us more control over messages. Will continue using. Had no problems with speed/loading etc.

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2018-12-14, version 3.17.3*

Works well - simple and quick to use.

### 5/5 — Much faster and easier to use

*2018-12-14, version 3.17.3*

This version is much faster than the previous one and more user-friendly. Great app!

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2024-03-21, version v4.58.0*

Unfortunately there are a lot of free apps that do almost everything this app can do, unfortunately when we tried to cancel our membership due to financial constraints, I had missed the cancellation window of 90days. I atleast had hope that maybe they’d only charge me for two months of service but instead they charged us for a whole year. 

The per user charge is a bit archaic- dated , so as we grow this service becomes to expensive. 

The best to ing about this company is that they do have personal developers to help you build what you need, but unfortunately they get greedy and can’t adjust a subscription charge. 

So as a result I am actively telling people to avoid this company and services.

### 1/5 — Needs major improvements

*2024-02-14, version v4.57.2*

It doesn’t work properly, I got email to sign documents but not documents to read then to sign.

### 1/5 — Why this app ?

*2020-05-15, version v3.44.2*

I was forced to download from my company in order to have some sort of update ,probably they are  getting some commission from it...

### 1/5 — Slow, not helpful notification and repeating the read message as unread

*2019-07-11, version 3.22.1*

Take over huge storage space on the phone! 11GB!! Cannot do any more apps 

Would be helpful if it shows which studio notification it is when pop on banner 

Also so annoying to see read messages and files keeping coming highlighting back as unread. 

System so slow when open after seeing notification on screen but on app nothing there yet

### 1/5 — Great concept, terrible in action

*2018-12-13, version 3.17.3*

I work for two companies (as a yoga instructor) that use this app. It takes, without exaggeration, about 5 minutes to load the app, once in there are so many screen freezes, crashes and glitches. And switching between the two different companies on the app is painful, it takes at least 5 minutes and that’s if it doesn’t crash! Far from ideal when you are trying to get quick responses for cover classes!

Developers please fix this app as it is awful!

### 1/5 — Time consuming and complicated

*2018-12-13, version 3.17.3*

Have to use this for my work places and hate it. Complicated system , time consuming , slow loading especially when being used by several companies , cards for cover requests pile up and can’t just be deleted in one go even when already assigned . Currently constantly having around 300 cards open which half of are already assigned elsewhere or aren’t relevant. No option to opt out of certain days or times to avoid cards piling up. If I were to check the app every day to clear the cards  I’d have to take an extra 30 min each day to just swipe cards away. So fed up with this app.

### 2/5 — Added features would improve this app

*2024-09-09, version v4.60.2*

The app lacks being personal. You are unable to easily change your name, giving yourself a nickname. You can’t even give yourself a profile or profile picture. This lacks the connection between people. I wish the app allowed you to see who has read your messages in groups and had an opportunity for shouting out and appreciating your team, as well as more reaction options for texts.

### 3/5 — App is okay

*2022-04-06, version 4.15.4*

App is okay but keeps freezing atm can’t see messages or pics in the groups I’m in just a black screen could you try and fix this asap as i can’t use it now

### 3/5 — So close to being awesome

*2019-05-14, version 3.22.1*

The idea of this app is fantastic, but it’s lacking so many basic features. I can’t tag people in group text so they know I’m talking to them. I know it’s simple, but you can’t like someone’s comment to acknowledge it. And pictures do not automatically load, you have to click and download them.  An update to these items would take it to 5 star.

### 3/5 — Missing bits and bobs

*2018-12-18, version 3.17.3*

The app is not as slow as it was but now I’ve deleted twice and still I’m not an admin and I can’t look for cover for my shifts. 
I’m not entirely sure why it does that and it seems to be only my problem, that’s not good enough though! 
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
Also there isn’t a way to divide the cards of shifts that have been assigned and shifts that are not relevant to me at all! 
There should be a slot where the confirmed cards are quickly available without have to search them through a hundreds of cover requests!

Brilliantly app keeps me informed of my work duties

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-10-05, version 4.33.1*

Good idea!

### 5/5 — EASY!

*2022-04-06, version 4.15.4*

This app is so simple and easy to use! Love the fact that it’s easy to scan and see which shifts are available, which you’ve declined and which you’ve accepted. We used to use an app that not only kept showing you shifts that had been accepted but ones that had already passed! It was so confusing trying to sift through them to find the valid ones. This app is awesome!!

### 5/5 — Best Employee Communication App

*2022-03-29, version 4.14.5*

Easy to use and covers all the company needs for communication!

### 5/5 — Quick, convenient and amazing...

*2020-04-16, version v3.41.4*

Really simple and quick to use. I got logged in really quickly and found it really helpful. Would highly recommend at this time under the current circumstances. Amazing app...

### 5/5 — Good app

*2020-03-27, version 3.40.0*

Used this app this week in my role in NHS. Works well, delivers concise work info without any distractions of chat etc. Streamlined app is fairly easy to use.
