### 2/5 — Push Notifications Have Stopped

*2023-08-01*

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.

### 3/5 — Need more app features

*2021-07-08, version 3.6.4*

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

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-06-15, version 3.6.4*

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

### 2/5 — Hang up

*2018-10-01, version 3.6.2*

With latest phone software update, it appears not to be compatible with “PeopleMatter” app!  Will not update, kicks you out of of the app when trying to view current/new application received, constantly trying to update, the list goes on....

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-09-25, version 3.6.2*

Doesn’t seem to be supported for ios 12 :/

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2018-09-24, version 3.6.2*

Since the iOS 12 upgrade on the iPhone, no data has has been displayed. I get a message that no data was able to be retrieved and to try again later. Please update

### 1/5 — Please update!

*2018-09-18, version 3.6.2*

Not only is it still not updated for the iPhone X, now it’s barely usable with iOS 12. Please update this app!

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2018-09-15, version 3.6.2*

They never update it. Not user friendly. HotSchedules has them so beat. If you go from HotSchedules to this app, you and your staff will be very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2018-06-12, version 3.6.2*

This app feels like it was thrown together.  Not sure where my money is going - but it wasn’t to this app.  It’s cumbersome, difficult to apply filters and find new applicants.  Can’t switch back to other applicants, or candidates.  Can’t remove applicants from consideration.  What’s the point of this app?  I deleted and will try downloading again...but at this point, I’d rather cancel my subscription and seek employment management solutions elsewhere.

### 3/5 — People matter

*2018-04-27, version 3.6.2*

This app is great except for some reason it will only let me request a day off 1 year in advance...

### 1/5 — Uninstalled and reinstalled...

*2017-01-17, version 3.6.1*

The only way to get rid of an annoying notification that I had an incomplete action item (which I had actually completed) was to uninstall and reinstall the app. Also, the app freezes all the time and notifications are too late. I lose shift offers faster than the app let's me know there are shift offers.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-09-27, version 3.6.0*

Yeah you can open the app but doesn't let you pick up shifts release them or do anything else just freezes. Better off going online and getting things do e

### 3/5 — There's a bug...

*2016-09-26, version 3.6.0*

Since the update in ios 10, the app freezes when trying to look at a specific schedule in the roster.

### 1/5 — iOS 10

*2016-09-21, version 3.6.0*

My schedule isn't responding after the new iPhone update, i need help? Is anyone else having this problem?

### 2/5 — Schedule

*2016-09-20, version 3.6.0*

Very useful, but there is a bug in there somewhere. Every time you click on schedule or a specific shift, app freezes and stops working. Help!!

### 2/5 — Ios10 update

*2016-09-19, version 3.6.0*

This is a great app, but since the new Apple update this app will not work properly.
It freezes as soon as you click on schedule. Cannot perform any actions. Please fix!

### 1/5 — UPDATE

*2016-09-17, version 3.6.0*

This app is useful but not when it won't even work. Ive been waiting for 3 days to view my work schedule but I can't because the app isn't working

### 1/5 — No more notifications

*2023-12-28*

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

### 1/5 — password

*2021-12-22, version 3.6.4*

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

### 1/5 — Deserves 1 Star since it technically works...

*2020-08-26, version 3.6.4*

Least intuitive scheduling app I’ve been required to use by my employer (and I’ve used them all!). Basically only provides YOUR schedule. Additional functions and information are unavailable; cannot easily swap shifts, cannot see who else is working and when, literally cannot see the schedule for a particular day if you’re not scheduled on said day. If all I needed to know was what time to show up to work I would at least like to sync my work schedule/calendar with my personal iCal... NOPE. Forced to depend on this crappy interface everyday. The full website provides no additional information to the app, just a slower loading time. Feels like it’s a free app/service to employers or something, the absolute bare minimum from a scheduling app. Totally disappointing and annoying to use as an employee.

### 1/5 — No update?

*2020-05-04, version 3.6.4*

Would be easier to use if we had full capabilities as if using on desk top. Move applicants to candidates, request interviews, hire, reject application, etc. All that can be done is view the applications. Not everyone is around a desktop or has a laptop, would make it more convenient for everyone to use. No update in over a year??? If I had control of who my company used I would’ve changed it a long time ago!

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2020-03-14, version 3.6.4*

doesn’t send notifications alerting people when new schedule or messages are being posted. 10/10 would delete this app if i didn’t depend on it for my work schedule.

### 1/5 — Sign in

*2019-10-20, version 3.6.4*

How to do you create and account when you go to website site it says you need a snagajob account but I have one so idk what the problem is and you can’t create a new account online and in the app

### 1/5 — Not working on iOS 12

*2018-10-07, version 3.6.4*

Not working on iOS 12

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone XS

*2018-10-01, version 3.6.2*

Will barely let me sign in. Won’t load anything or let me do anything wish they could get it to function properly

### 1/5 — PeopleMatter app issues

*2018-10-01, version 3.6.2*

App is freezing and will not refresh anymore. I believe it has something to do with the new IOS version because all my employees seem to be experiencing this issue. I am constantly using this app and I hope this gets resolved soon!

### 1/5 — Not compatible with Iphone8 plus

*2018-09-30, version 3.6.2*

App keeps freezing. Won’t allow to select the option to receive new applicant alerts. Keeps giving error couldn’t retrieve data. Was working fine on my IPhone 7plus that I just recently traded for the 8plus. Not a happy camper. Have deleted and reinstalled app multiple times and still having same issues.

### 5/5 — Yeet

*2020-01-29, version 3.6.4*

This app is GOOD. Ya it sometimes is a bit slow but it’s great

### 5/5 — GOOD APP

helpful

### 5/5 — iOS update

### 5/5 — Helps with work.

*2014-07-17, version 2.5.0*

Makes work easier to deal with.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2014-06-19, version 2.4.0*

This app is fantastic and super convenient!  Thank you for making it!  The only request I have, is to open the availability tab for editing capabilities. The time off request and other tabs are great.  I recommend this to anyone who accesses their schedule from their mobile device!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2014-02-20, version 2.3.1*

This app is great! I can see who I am working with, which is good because I know not to bother asking them to cover my shift. And it's pretty nice to know what kind of day is ahead of you (for example, knowing who is the manager). One thing it could use is some way to edit it or make a note for myself because I pick up lots of shifts, but then can't refer to the app as my definite schedule. But, big ole thumbs up to peoplematter!

### 5/5 — :)

*2013-12-09, version 2.3.0*

It's an awesome app, I have it for my job I love the fact that I can check my schedule on my phone

### 5/5 — Awesome tool

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2013-05-10, version 2.0.0*

It's great for getting creative with your photos. I love it!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-03-15, version 1.0.1*

My company just got PeopleMatter and it's really cool! Its really easy to use!
