I wish this app wasn’t required at my job

Not only has it had issue saving clocks and forgetting that I setup the face login. You keep giving my contact info to these perk companies and they keep sending me spam. Maybe you should let people opt out of you giving their contact info out.

Customer Service did not help!

I’m very disappointed.

Internet issues at work App Loads slow! Don’t Recommend for Employee, must rely on employers WiFi.

Slow and unreliable in low-signal areas. The app takes a long time to load and often fails to record my punch, so my clock-in ends up late. It needs a live internet connection, so punching depends on my employer's Wi‑Fi or my carrier's signal. Not recommended for employees who work where coverage is weak.
