Too many glitches
This app is almost unusable. Can’t even make a post because the text box doesn’t work. Also there are not live updates so I have to close the app anytime I need to refresh.
NEEDS CALENDAR SYNC OPTION
Please make the option to sync the schedule you are assigned to your phones calendar app!!!
Church People are not employees
We use this for church and they don’t want to change the fact that they call them employees. We love the app but that’s the only thing. If we could change it to people it would be great. Or an option to pick how you want to call them but yeah this is a non profit please add an option to do this!
Typical scheduling app but notifications need work
Anytime anyone posts a message whether direct to you or not causes a notification and a sound. With everyone responding your phone won’t stop sending a thousand notifications. And it’s only on or off for the notifications. Now I miss a lot.
Get a restaurant consultant
Might be great for some businesses but it’s terrible for restaurants. Really bad and confusing and clearly not put together by someone that works in a restaurant.
Not working as it should
Good for high level info. The app is crashing fully closing, when I’m trying to message an employee.
Good
It works, but when you scroll through shifts, it randomly will switch to a different week
glitchy app
core UI issues that havent been fixed in months. schedule will jump back and forth without prompting it to, or not load altogether forcing you to back out of the app completely. not a cell service issue
Work
Great help me ilot on my schedule
BUGGYYYYY
every 5 seconds the schedule screen will reload to the other months or a completely other tab my job forces me to have to use it so i will continue to endure through this torture
Keeps loading
You have to exit out of the app and re enter like 5 times because it will just randomly buffer
I wish every business used this
It's just like the ideal way to schedule everything, all the positions are clear and clean, and it's easy to use from the employee and boss standpoint, and every time I go to a new company, and I have to relearn all their stupid apps and systems that they use I find myself wishing that I had sling again. I still try to get employers I work for to use it today. The only thing I maybe which week would be having it so everything work related could be handled by it so you don't have to have 17 different apps for one job, and then the next place you go to you have to download a bunch of new apps if you ever change jobs all over again. It would be nice if there was just one app that had all of it and I kind of wish that sling was like that. Maybe they could do it like scheduling is free, but if you want to upgrade to W-2s and taxes and stuff like that, then the employer has to pay a small fee, to make it worth it from the app developer standpoint.

Employee POV
The app itself is useful but the bugs and glitches are insane. Every time I try to view my schedule it’ll load a different week when I scroll. When I try going back to the correct calendar, it’ll glitch out and I have to restart the app. Every. Single. Time. Also adding time off/unavailability is very tedious because it automatically applies it to a full 7 days and indefinitely. I do like that it sends push notifications to remind you that your shift starts in an hour.

Not good
Phone app is horrid, if you want to create/edit/exchange shifts you got to do it on PC
Laggy app
My work has been using this app for scheduling for a long time and it sucks. It’s laggy and constantly glitchy and it needs an update, I do not recommend it for scheduling unless you want to piss off your employees.
ONE STAR
As a manager who builds schedules weekly, Sling has become an absolute nightmare to work with. There are constant glitches that make something as simple as scheduling employees way more difficult than it should be.
One of the biggest issues is shifts randomly not appearing after you schedule them. Then when you try to re add the shift, the app tells you the employee is already scheduled…only for both shifts to suddenly appear later, creating duplicates and confusion. It makes you second guess whether the schedule is even accurate.
There are also visibility and UI issues everywhere. Important buttons like the “All Day Unavailable” option are nearly invisible on the employee side, which leads to staff accidentally submitting things incorrectly or not seeing options at all.
The app will also randomly show employees working doubles or shifts on completely different days than what was actually scheduled. As a manager, that is incredibly frustrating because now staff thinks THEY were scheduled incorrectly when it’s actually the app glitching.
Another huge issue is requests off and unavailability submissions. Employees will show proof that they submitted them through the app, but nothing appears on the manager side. This creates unnecessary conflict between management and staff because now everyone is blaming each other when it’s clearly a system issue.
These are honestly just a few of the many problems. Sling has potential, but the amount of glitches, syncing issues, and unreliable scheduling behavior makes it hard to trust for restaurant scheduling.

Dear sling
It kind of seems like no one works there. I have left feedback in the app several times and the issues have still not been resolved.
1. The schedule. After scrolling around the schedule for a few minutes, the entire schedule disappears. What even is that? Then I have to force close the app and relaunch.
2. The feedback submission form in the app itself. While typing the feedback, the phone’s keyboard will obstruct the user’s finger from clicking the submit button. It is possible to submit it, but extremely difficult because it requires extremely speedy fingers and great coordination.
The overall vibe I get from Sling is: You think this is funny.
I’d love to see these issues be fixed.
Thanks.

Jumping
The app is good for the most part but when I am scrolling to see the schedule no matter how careful and straight I scroll it will jump a week back then when I press to go to the present week it jumps two weeks ahead so then I have to go back to the week I was looking at and it does it multiple times and I have gotten to the point of using a different app to see my schedule because it does it multiple times every time I open the app.

Glitchy
The app glitches. You can’t look at the schedule too long before it automatically take you to a previous schedule like 2 weeks before. It’s annoying and I reached out to customer support and they said it’s because our schedule starts on Sunday….. that doesn’t make sense as to why that would be an issue but ok. I have to deal with it as is and so I do. My co workers also have this issue.
