iOS 12 caused the app to become unresponsive in some cases. This release fixes that!

User reviews

No more notifications

Notifications have stopped working, no longer able to see it anymore, I notice that the app does not have an option for background app refresh so maybe the app isn’t sending the phone updates anymore unless you open the app

Push Notifications Have Stopped

Not sure what has changed but my team and I have stopped receiving push notifications from the app. Notifications have stopped for shift offers, time off requests, etc. have checked the settings in the app on on the phones themselves and we are elected to receive push notifications.

password

this app has so many issues and you can’t even change your password on it don’t download this app.

Need more app features

We need to be able to make applicants a candidate through the app so when I do several interviews I have my phone open and reviewing their application if I hire them I should be able to make a candidate so I don’t have to remember who I hired as I’m going. Since we are busy it’s kinda easy to forgot who I just hired on the spot

Glitchy

As a manager of a carwash who is using the app. It’s very user friendly but the issues that I have are reshreshing and updating messages where my team gets them and sees them. My team does not see my messages all the time and sometimes it’s important being weather dependent where they need to know. Another thing would make it easier is if I can do a group text on here instead going name by name and single texting each person.
Finally, the roster should show in a heading bar the times I have ppl scheduled so I know versus squinting to see the times I schedule my team. This one is just a suggestion.
Another quick thing is when people want to offer their shift, they should be able to if a specific person wants to take it with out requesting, that would make it easier than the manager to approve it. Also increase the count of the messages to be unlimited would be awesome
