Calendar view is horrible and it always somehow doesn’t show all the days you work and it makes you accidentally skip a shift because it’s glitching everytime you log in. I don’t know how this app has a 4.6 but all I’m seeing are 1 stars. What a scam. Please fix the app for people ### 1/5 — app is slow as hell *2026-03-29, version 26.1.1* app is slow as hell i can’t even use it bc it doesn’t load please fix it shi ### 1/5 — Daily pay *2026-03-28, version 26.1.1* 48 hrs for daily pay is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-03-27* This app barely works and there is nothing on it. Before rolling out a new system for people to use, they need to do a better job of explaining it. It constantly loads and doesn’t have our pay or anything on here. It’s really for our schedule. ### 1/5 — Trash App *2026-03-27, version 26.1.1* Do Not Use This For Your Company It’s got too much going on to where it doesn’t work for a damn thing Like when you have too much of a good thing and it’s bad for you, this is it Takes forever to load as well and if it does it’s probably incorrect ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-03-26, version 26.1.1* I don’t even see the point of the app it doesn’t do much. Workday is much better. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-03-26, version 26.1.1* Nothing but problems since downloading it. Nothing makes sense and now it’s not even letting me sign in. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-26, version 26.1.1* This app is terrible. It’s hard to navigate and does not load properly the majority of the time ### 1/5 — Review *2026-03-25* Always laggy and daily pay isn’t working for the last 5 days either it would much rather be back on workday ### 1/5 — terrible app *2026-03-24, version 26.1.1* no idea why finishline switched from blue yonder l but this app is soo bad of a system company should be ashamed ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-09, version 25.2.1* My app isnt allowing me to sign in with a username, its only allowing me to show my credentials which i don't have. Im trying to contact customer service and it says the site is not in use. Please help ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-03-02* App consistently crashes anytime I try to put a vacation request off. Half the time won’t let me press any buttons. Annoying ### 2/5 — app always crashes *2026-02-26, version 25.2.1* it is near impossible to submit time off request because the app crashes when you try to. very frustrating. ### 1/5 — The app simply does not work properly *2026-02-15* Not sure if it’s the website that my job is connected to but there’s so many glitches and inconsistencies with this app everytime I open it up. For starters, there a red 1 on the app itself before you open it as if there’s a notification but there is no new notifications. Secondly is the sign in. On top of the already annoying verification process you have to go through every single time, the system asks to not ask you for next time and it never does. Sometimes even after you do the entire process it just won’t log you in to see your schedule for no reason and you have to do it all over again. I shouldn’t have to jump through these hoops just to check when/if my schedule changed when other apps that I used for work can show me almost instantly. 1 star. Do better. (JSYK I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times before and the same problems have occurred) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-02-12, version 25.2.1* App crashes al the time, can never book time off as crashes. Terrible app ### 1/5 — RTO Crash *2026-02-09, version 25.2.1* app keeps crashing and logging me out any time I try to request time off. annoying bug. ### 1/5 — Always crashing *2026-01-15* This app is always crashing. Every time I click on a function it crashes and logs me out. So frustrating esp when you’re trying create a request off. ### 2/5 — Touch ID? *2026-01-08, version 25.2.1* Keeps asking me to save a Touch ID when IPhones 14s don’t have it?? Doesn’t give me an option to save a Face ID ### 1/5 — Authentication *2025-12-06, version 25.2.1* Atrocious app. Rarely works and auth sync is horribly slow/ broken ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please do better improvement *2026-07-20, version 26.1.3.1* This app sucks. ### 1/5 — So inconvenient *2026-07-11, version 26.1.3.1* It keeps asking me to scan my store QR code which why would I have that 24/7 and it doesn’t give me and option to input my login. I don’t understand why they can’t just fix it and let people do their login manually. I literally missed a shift this week because I couldn’t get into my account. ### 1/5 — Not enough *2026-07-06, version 26.1.2* Really bad, not enough at all. It’s just so crazy to not able to see who are you going to work with, wow . ### 1/5 — Touch ID? *2026-06-24, version 26.1.2* Keeps asking me to save a Touch ID when IPhones 14s don’t have it?? Doesn’t give me an option to save a Face ID. Real nice… ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-05-26* I have to use this app for work and it’s awful. The functionality is terrible, and over complicated for simple tasks. Every single employee hates this app as well. Overall needs a whole new re-design or to go to the trash. ### 1/5 — Ai *2026-04-30* It’s done by Ai and it’s partially imbalanced. It’s placing employees with open availability over employees with limited availability and it’s over working the employees with open availability and not using the employees with limited availability to allow those employees with open availability work life balance. ### 1/5 — this app is garbage *2026-04-20, version 26.1.1* nothing works well. it’s glitchy, lacks essential features, and just ultimately makes my day worse ### 1/5 — Password not working *2026-04-04* Type in the password correctly the first time, and I have to do it multiple times before it actually works ### 1/5 — Just why? *2026-04-02, version 26.1.1* It’s Not Always Working ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-04-01, version 26.1.1* This whole system is terrible. You can’t edit time for the day. It makes it so difficult to clock people in on unscheduled shifts you can’t release the schedule till Monday. You have to reconcile time on Sunday I mean This whole system is just awful ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I work *2024-07-01, version 3.0.18* I work ### 5/5 — Application *2024-05-03* This application is easy to use and allows for Direct and Simple Clicks to things needed. Overall Good . ### 5/5 — Time out *2024-04-16, version 3.0.18* Keeps telling me my session has timed out and to log in again,then won’t let me log in ### 5/5 — Bring back the calendar *2024-02-28, version 3.0.13* New update is trash. How can you have have a schedule app that doesn’t have the option to see schedules in a calendar format/more then one day at a time. There’s so many bugs as well when you click a specific date it glitches and sends you to a random day. Please for the love of god bring back the old format!!!!!! Edit: thank you sooo much for listening to feedback and bringing back the calendar!! Honestly respect 10/10 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Don’t like the new calendar *2024-02-18, version 3.0.12* The only thing I don’t like is the calendar display. It shows that you’re scheduled for certain days, but doesn’t show the actual times. I like having the whole month displayed with the times on each day that I work. ### 5/5 — Stuck at loading with new update. *2024-01-13, version 3.0.8* Broken doesn't work anymore. ### 4/5 — Worse update yet *2024-01-16* 0 stars but it won’t let you do that. This newest “update” just made it seem like it has gone back in time and not gotten better. App keeps freezing and has you constantly sign back in and won’t let you use the biometrics. Also when you go to create an event, you will tap the date you want but it will say the day before the date you originally wanted. If you want to edit or change the event you need to close out the app and start all over again. ### 3/5 — Not functional *2026-05-18* App is simply terrible and not meant for the retail space. Whoever’s coding in the back needs to get banned. ### 3/5 — Sends a lot of notifications *2024-03-07, version 3.0.14* Sent two notifications each time your schedule has been changed. It’s really a lot I’m kind of excessive especially if the schedule changes a lot I feel like we should be able to change that. ### 3/5 — Update *2024-02-19, version 3.0.12* Ever since the new update, I don’t really like it anymore. I liked being able to view the whole calendar for each month instead of having to scroll down weekly now. Also, sometimes when I click on a date, it doesn’t actually take me to that date. It glitches a bit and I have trouble trying to find my work days. I would so much prefer how it used to be before the update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
