### 1/5 — Von vorgestern

*2026-07-04*

Nachtrag: Jetzt kommen beim Start nur noch 3 blinkende Kreise und es passiert …. nichts. Kein Hinweis, keine Fehlermeldung, kein Timeout. Einfach nichts!
——-
Erscheinungsbild von vorgestern und sehr unübersichtlich. Lästigerweise muss man häufig die URL mit der MySap-ID neu eingeben. Wechselt man kurz zu einer andern App muss man sich danach wieder neu anmelden. Updates erfolgen nicht automatisch über den App-Store sondern beim Start der App.

**Developer response:** Dear User,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We have verified the current version of the SAP Business ByDesign Mobile iOS application available on the App Store and confirmed that it is functioning as expected.

Regarding the need to re-enter the URL, we recommend configuring an App Password and enabling Face Lock (Face ID) authentication for the SAP Business ByDesign Mobile iOS application. This setup helps streamline the login experience and can prevent the need to repeatedly enter the URL when authenticating with your SAP ID.

Please note that application updates are not downloaded automatically, which is the expected behavior of the application. Users will be notified about the availability of a new version when they log in to the application and can then choose to update accordingly.

Should you continue to experience the issue, please feel free to raise a support case with the relevant details, and we will be happy to investigate further.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Kind regards,
SAP Business ByDesign Support Team

### 1/5 — Zeiterfassung geht nicht mehr

*2026-05-18*

ByDesign Mobile war immer hilfreich um mobil 
 Zeiten zu erfassen. 
Seit einem der letzten Updates ist das nicht mehr möglich, da die Zeiterfassung nun unter „Self Services“ liegt und dort ein 2 spaltenlayout vorhanden ist, das auf Mobile aber nicht funktioniert. 

Man kommt also nicht zur Zeiterfassung. 

Sehr sehr schade, vor 2 Wochen ging es auf jeden Fall noch. 
(iPhone 13 Pro)

**Developer response:** Dear user, 
We would like to let you know that no change has been made in time recording app. It is working as usual only. Please check with your IT team if they have made any changes. Or feel free to create case for the development team to check.

### 3/5 — Face ID klappt so gut wie nie

*2026-01-18*

Immer wieder muss man die App deinstallieren und neu laden, damit man dann FaceID nutzen kann. Sehr lahm und lästig. Ansonsten ein guter mobiler Helfer.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your review. Face ID works when you set the app password post login for the first time. Also, some issues have been observed in iOS 18.6.2. If your device is on 18.6.2 we recommend upgrading it. If you still face the issue, feel free to raise a case.

### 4/5 — Better that web site

*2025-12-05*

We use SAP by design for tracking time and approvals.  This app is so much more convenient than using the web site.

### 1/5 — da rifare

*2025-10-23, version 25.28.0*

veste grafica in vecchio stile non ottimizzata per l’uso su smartphone, di conseguenza l’uso é faraginoso, andrebbe rifatta completamente

### 1/5 — War bis vor kurzen noch ne gute App

*2025-02-11*

7 Jahre hat mir diese App mein Arbeitsleben erleichtern in Sachen Zeiterfassung und Abwesenheitsanträgen. Bin beides sehr leicht und schnell. Dafür hätte es 5 Sterne gegeben. Jetzt am liebsten 0 Sterne da seit Januar 2025 die App nur noch Schrott ist! - Mobile App-Ansicht für Desktop-Views optimiert - Texte nicht komplett lesbar auf dem Screen - Links nicht aktiv, um Arbeitszeiten einzutragen - Noch mehr Kacheln - vorher gut auffindbar Funktionen nun versteckt (z.B. Zeiterfassung) - Back-Buttons fehlen bspw. bei den Anträgen (also erst mal App zu und wieder auf) Usw. Vorher war’s mobil first und gut. Bitte macht das rückgängig!!! Hoffe beim

### 2/5 — Very poor

*2025-02-10*

Why do I have to reenter my app password every time I open the app?
This is a basic requirement that almost every other app provider has mastered.
User experience is really poor

### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit zertifikatsbasierter Authentifizierung

*2025-01-14*

SAP arbeitet ja angeblich intensiv mit Apple zusammen. Da fragt man sich schon, wieso:

- FaceID nicht funktioniert und man jedes Mal sein App Passwort händisch eingeben muss

- eine Authentifizierung per Nutzerzertifikat bei der Anmeldung per SSO nicht funktioniert

- die App einfach random die “80er Lotus Notes” Kacheln nicht anzeigt

Und das sind nur ein paar der Punkte die mir grad einfallen. 

Sorry aber das hier fängt an zu gammeln wie die alte SAP GUI, und niemand scheint sich drum zu kümmern wie es den Angestellten geht die das hier zeitaufwändig nutzen müssen.

### 1/5 — Wird immer schlimmer

*2024-10-01*

Sperrig zu bedienen. UI ist von gestern. Macht wirklich keinen Spaß damit Spesen einzureichen.

### 5/5 — Really like the app - works well for me and our business.

*2024-06-06, version 24.16.0*

Also impressed with the new UI!
