### 2/5 — Update is hard to look at

*2024-09-02, version 5.0.0*

The new update is really bad visually and makes it hard to read my schedule. The old way was a lot better. Otherwise a fine app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-17*

I just got this job and they want me to have this app and I can’t even login in my managers getting frustrated with me because I can’t get in because this app won’t let me it says reset my password and I do know I type it incorrectly, cause I do it a couple times and then when I go to login, it says it won’t work it says invalid i cant afford to get fired when this is my first job

### 1/5 — Can’t press half the buttons

*2024-08-13, version 4.1.1*

This app is virtually unusable. I can’t view ANYTHING other than my current availability and my schedule. I can’t change my availability, I can’t creí my chats, I can’t do anything other than what is right there on the front page because the buttons are on a part of the screen that can’t be touched.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-08-01, version 4.1.1*

Doesn’t even fit the size of your screen. Can’t click on the most important buttons. Such as the back button or the edit a schedule. The worst. Do better

### 1/5 — What the heck?

*2024-07-28, version 4.1.1*

I just updated again. Didn’t mean too and wish I hadn’t. But now I can’t click “sort by shift” when viewing the schedule. 😐 the button at the very top right and top left won’t let me click them.

### 2/5 — Very buggy

*2024-07-05*

I honestly do not know why our company still uses this. It takes 20+ tries to make time off requests. This is not a device thing, because this applies to both my iPhone 11 and my iPhone 15. Moreover, for more recent iPhones with the island (near the camera), the interface doesn’t allow access to the submit or sort button on the upper right. Please improve. It is so inconvenient.

### 1/5 — signing up…

*2024-06-19, version 4.1.1*

there’s literally no button to make an account it’s only log in, how am i supposed to log in if i haven’t made an account yet ??????????

### 1/5 — app that barely works

*2024-06-15, version 4.1.1*

my job uses this app for scheduling, but the app barely works. i continuously keep trying to take time off for a vacation before it is to late to get it off and the app does not load the time requested off. it is genuinely the most frustrating thing ever!! please employers for the sake of you and your employees DO NOT USE THIS APP.

### 1/5 — App is extremely outdated

*2024-06-11*

App is perfectly fine in almost every way. Only problem is that it is very difficult to press certain important buttons because the app is clearly designed for an iPhone with a home button. It does not fit on the newer iPhones with the larger screen. This is pretty ridiculous that they have not made it compatible yet considering iPhone with home buttons are a isn't at this point (2024). You'd be way better off using hotschedules.

### 2/5 — please fix for iphone

*2024-06-07, version 4.1.1*

the app is not compatible with certain iOS. i am unable to click the buttons at the top to request time off or see the buttons at the bottom. for context, i have an iphone 15. please fix this soon.

### 2/5 — I like hot schedules better

*2024-06-02*

Would love to see how many hours I work a week when on the schedule icon. Also on the calendar icon when it shows the people working, after I select filter by shift it changes back immediately to filter alphabetically. Can this be a permanent change or have filter by shift the default?

### 1/5 — Trash app, unable to submit time off

*2024-05-27, version 4.1.1*

Time off button is bugged, requests never go through. It’s a hassle. Fix your app.

### 1/5 — Fix The App Please

*2024-05-17, version 4.1.1*

The buttons in the upper corners are unusable! I have to flip my screen horizontally and spam them to even have a chance at clicking the buttons.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-05-06, version 4.1.1*

How in the world are you actually confident enough to release  this you can barley see you schedule  and thats pushing it , cant take time off cant make a shift change cant change availability this app is a must NOT have

### 1/5 — Iphone 15

*2024-02-17, version 4.1.1*

Cannot touch corner buttons on iPhone 15 needs an update ASAP.

### 1/5 — I don’t even do reviews. It is that bad.

*2024-01-26, version 4.1.1*

Does not work!! I cannot touch the two buttons on the top from this new update. I have a 14promax and I cannot put in any time off request!!

### 1/5 — Please fix app

*2024-01-23, version 4.1.1*

I recently downloaded the update for Stafflinq and now the top and bottom bar don’t fit my screen on the IPhone 14 Pro Max. The display is now stretched out and makes it impossible to click the buttons on the top and bottom bar!!!

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-11-25, version 4.1.1*

Not usable on iPhone 15 due to top bar overlap.

### 1/5 — respect the notch

*2023-11-15, version 4.1.1*

Seriously, you need to respect the notch. The app is effectively unusable on screens with the notch or the Dynamic Island. Yes, this does work really well for the iPhone 8 and before, but anything after that is lacking basic functionality because there is no way to access the buttons at the top or bottom of the screen.

### 1/5 — title

*2025-11-18*

aside from it being required for work it is fine it works whatever. except theres times were i cannot get into 
the app and the screen that does come up is black with red letters underlined with yellow. i can’t even read what it says because the words are too close to the

### 1/5 — Selling Schedule Data to Advertisers

*2025-04-15*

This company is selling our schedule data to advertisers for spam sales emails. Either that or they have a data breach. Ask Darden.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-04-05*

Everybody said everything, you can’t even log in or do anything 😂😂

### 1/5 — It’s ok

*2024-11-01*

I liked how the app looked before the update. I use the website more often than the app. The chat box does not like emojis. That’s ok I guess. I wish it had a dark mode. The biggest issue is I do not like the layout of the app after the update. The website still looks like the old app model, which I really love. The new version works just like the old version. However, I want the old layout instead, so I must use the website instead of using the app. Also it won’t let me submit time off requests on both the website & the app.

### 1/5 — Calendar sync broken

*2024-10-28, version 5.0.7*

Pretty basic app, overall works ok but a key standard feature of scheduling apps now is calendar sync and this Stafflinq’s sync feature is broken.  Sent a support request over a month ago and the response was they are working on it, please use the website version for now.  Pretty disappointing answer

### 1/5 — App won’t even work

*2024-09-12, version 5.0.2*

I used to could use the app until it updated and now it won’t open and i don’t know what my schedule is making the app useless and upsetting both me and my employer.

### 1/5 — Update

*2024-09-12, version 5.0.2*

App was just fine before the update, now it constantly logs me out instead of keeping me logged in

### 1/5 — Horrendous Update

*2024-09-05, version 5.0.1*

It’s a shame the lowest  rating I can give is one star. This update has completely ruined the accessibility of this app and the “remember me” feature does not work AT ALL. You have to fully log in everytime.

### 1/5 — trash

*2024-09-05, version 5.0.1*

nearly impossible just to make the account

### 1/5 — Keeps closing

*2024-08-21, version 4.1.1*

I’ve been using this app for a little over a year and have never had an issue until now. I keep opening the app and it keeps closing on me. I’ve even checked for updates and reinstalled. What’s the deal???

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Easy to text everyone from and it’s FREE!

*2020-09-10, version 3.17*

I love how this app works way faster than the browser.

Thank you for making this free and easy for us :)

### 5/5 — New Download

*2019-08-28, version 3.0*

The app is much more responsive and useful after the latest release!

### 5/5 — I’m a fan of the update

*2018-10-06*

I’ve had the app for 3 years. I feel like in 2018 it shouldn’t of taken that long to get a decent up to date app. But alas we finally got a new updated version. Not to shabby. Still wish it was a bit more modernized.

### 5/5 — Much Bettery

*2018-09-22*

It is obvious that they talked to people before they made the new version. The old version was kind of weak.  New version does all of the things I would want it to do. I think they need couple of tweaks and they will move from good to really good.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback GP! We are still working around the clock to fix any outstanding issues users are running into. We sincerely appreciate the kind words!

### 5/5 — Update isn’t good

*2018-09-21, version 2.0*

Good app. Does a lot, but the update took away one of the its best uses and that was being able to see who is working on your shifts. Please change back.

### 4/5 — Please bring back calendar export!!!

*2020-10-06, version 3.17*

Before the website update I could export my schedule to my calendar and it was so convenient, I don’t know why it would be removed but please bring it back!!!

### 3/5 — Sometimes updates to Calendar

*2026-08-13*

I have to keep going into the settings and manually sync it up to the calendar on my iPad. It should do this automatically after I did it one time, but I’ve had to do it at least twice, other than that I don’t use the app but to check the schedule and see who’s working and it seems to do a fine job with that. I don’t understand why people are whining about the layout. Get a hobby.

### 3/5 — It keeps crashing

*2021-07-21, version 3.23*

I’m trying to get on stafflinq but it keeps crashing on me whenever I open it. Somebody please help

### 3/5 — Cool app

*2021-04-23, version 3.23*

It’s a good app just keep crashing like every 3-4 days I have to uninstall and reinstall

### 3/5 — Cannot sync calendar

*2018-11-14, version 2.0.4*

Please update and allow us to sync with our calendars in our phone!!
