### 2/5 — No purpose

*2025-04-03*

Waste time

### 3/5 — Not a good app for improvement

*2024-08-22*

I know people lie just to make others look bad , it’s a bad way for employees to ruin a company and management.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t render well on an iPad

*2024-05-20*

Seems to work Ok - works great on on a laptop - however for 5 stars it would be great for it work/render better on a tablet.

### 2/5 — App needs more options to toggle and slice

*2024-04-18*

The app has a general good look/feel. But lacks a lot of the options to slice and dive into your data, for example it’s missing a really simple ‘average’ and ‘NPS’ toggle so you can view scores in the 2 different ways. You also can’t (easily) slice data/scores views into your various company structure attribution (function, country, team, gender +++) needs more work folks!

### 3/5 — Reply interfaces

*2023-11-11*

The comment reply interface doesn’t works properly. One can’t understand which comment one is replying as the thread goes away…

### 3/5 — App doesn’t update

*2023-11-01*

I keep getting an error that tells me to update but when I go to the App Store to update, it says it’s already updated and will only let me open the app.

### 4/5 — Great Tool for Checking the Pulse

*2023-10-23*

The Peakon surveys are a great tool for providing Senior Leadership with a pulse on how well they’re engaging with employees, as well as feedback on the communication and how well employees understand and are in alignment with it. 

The only reason I didn’t rate the app with 5 stars is the lack of anonymity. Personally, I don’t like surveys that anonymize my responses and would prefer to have the option, but if the app is advertising the replies as anonymous, then they should be 100% anonymous. Just my thoughts.

### 3/5 — Rapport d’enquête

*2023-09-29*

Un graphique représentant notre situation dans l’organisation serait souhaitable pour une vue et un retour rapide avec une comparaison des chiffres de l’année passée.

### 1/5 — No inbuilt security

*2023-05-09*

Seem to have to enter domain name and. Passwords no fingerprint access

### 1/5 — Evil v Good

*2023-03-22*

The title says it all. Good when people are leaving good or bad things but when it is constructive not destructive as it can be. Evil as whistleblower paradise….

### 1/5 — Notation non culturelle

*2023-03-20*

La notation NPS n’est pas intuitive pour les français. Il serait intéressant d’ajouter le code couleur avec les notes au moment de répondre à une question. Un 5/10 français ne correspond pas à sa valeur NPS.

### 1/5 — Hygienist

*2022-10-10*

No drivers or comments on either of my completed surveys

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — “Something went wrong” error seems unfixable

*2026-08-09*

App stopped working months ago when I got a “something went wrong, try again” error upon opening the app. I cannot find any way to do anything in the app or resolve this situation. Please help.

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2025-11-08*

Very limited functionality on the app. I can only access about 10% of the data available on the web based platform. Really disappointing and not much point to the app when it’s that inferior. I can’t only think the high rating overall is driven by people that only access the app.

### 1/5 — Constantly asks for verification codes while pretending to be anon.

*2025-09-30, version 5.4.0*

Constantly asks for verification codes so it can tie you in while implying it’s anonymous.

### 1/5 — Why so featureless?

*2025-03-11*

The app and program seem to be purposely structured without bi-directional communication in mind. It’s simply a collection tool for management. I don’t see the value add of this program beyond a simple randomized survey & reach-outs. e.g., 
- why can’t I see my results over time? 
- why can’t I see the organizational averages? 
- why can’t I interact with management comments? 
- why can’t I see themes in feedback at my level? Organizational level? Personally?
- why is anonymity so cryptic and seemingly untrustworthy?

### 1/5 — Aucun retour sur les points sensibles

*2024-12-16*

Avant d’enchaîner les enquêtes : avoir des réponses aux urgences

### 1/5 — App review

*2024-10-26*

Doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Not a reflection of the correct results

*2024-01-08*

Ratings showing as negatives despite me knowing the answers were positive. Manipulated results to suit companies agenda.

### 1/5 — Interface API tres restrictif

*2023-09-14*

L import utilisateur par API est compliqué par des regles qui limite l usage pour des grands groupes : pas de mise a jour en masse ( obligé de decouper en lot de 30) pas de bonne pratique sur les champs ID externe, manager, RH qui oblige le développeur a connaître les regles du domaine RH ( mabager cycle, RH cycle, …)

Il existe des limites en terme de nombre de maj par heure qu il faut prendre en considération dans le connecteur pour eviter des erreurs 5xx

### 1/5 — Wheres the comments?

*2023-08-20*

I was told by an email m, sent by workday, that i have comments to one of my survey questions, and if i wanted to view it i should download this app. 

I DID THIS and there’s NO WHERE in the app to see messages….. 

That’s enough to piss me off.

### 1/5 — Inbox?

*2023-08-18*

Couldnt find where the inbox was supposedly so i could view possibly respond to comments made on the survey.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great App - pity they are discontinuing

*2024-12-02*

I find it very convenient and responsive on mobile with the App, but Workday plan to shut it down next year.  Then will have to see how useful the website is on mobile iPhone- I have doubts

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-08-26*

I love how it’s weekly and it’s easy to use without having to login! The interface looks very modern and sleek. Great job

### 5/5 — Peakon should be more interactive

*2024-02-10*

The Peakon survery should be more interactive and help people express their grievances and the remarks which are made are taken into account and implemented in such a way that the company makes notable progress and the areas of improvement are covered and all the bases are touched upon.

Also the remarks should be taken as a positive feedback and discussion should be done on a regular basis based on the feedback be it negative or positive and the management should consider all the grounds and not take them literally as a scorecard basis and try to judge the situation based on scores alone but also based on the remarks.

Peakon survey should not be a mere metric based opinion tool where the feedback is taken in such a way that it is generalised and then the management is given a general opinion and feedback.

### 5/5 — Nuffield Health Care

*2023-05-31*

It was a great experience to fill this survey through on Peaken application. The reason was because it was the most relevant questions asked to my workplace. Easy to use the layout and create your answers for submission . Who ever designed it well thought about how to gather feedback from each area. It also as you go through it also give the individual a chance to understand where he/she stands in their company community. Overall it was worth a while to complete.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-05-29*

It’s a great app and very useful.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-03-24*

I like the platform and the types of questions that are being asked.  It also allows me to see which areas need more support and where my satisfaction is great.

### 5/5 — A+

*2022-11-04*

Hands down the best Employee Engagement tool on the market.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2022-09-20*

User friendly app that enables me to quickly share my feedback confidentially and access my personal dashboard.

### 5/5 — Excellent Insights

*2022-02-09*

Everyone at Peakon are so fantastic and helpful.
From on boarding through to launch I got total commitment and support from the team.
The platform is very user friendly and the app helps me to see real-time responses on the go.
We’ll done Peakon…

### 5/5 — My team in my pocket

*2021-10-11*

So easy to see my teams current concerns and what they are enjoying.

Very easy to use.
