I can see my work shifts. I can request days off. There is still room for improvement. I was wondering, could you create a desktop version of this app? ### 1/5 — Yall suck *2026-05-19, version 8.1.0* This company is so backwards. Y’all can’t even create a decent app so your employees can check their schedules. Can’t even eat a free meal anymore on my 10 hour shift let alone check my schedule. Yall are horrible ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-05-06, version 8.1.0* This app sucks ### 1/5 — This app just isn’t it. *2026-04-29, version 8.1.0* This app leaves much to be desired. I have deleted it and downloaded it again and again just to come up with a white screen when I want to view my schedule. I am relying on memory and screenshots for my schedule when the app does decide to work. ### 1/5 — Bad System *2026-04-26, version 8.1.0* the app is horrible and it barely lets you sign in. when i tried to request off, it would take like 10 try’s to select the day i wanted off. this apps needs to be updated ### 1/5 — Terribly unoptimal *2026-04-21, version 8.1.0* Bad ### 1/5 — App dosent even work *2026-04-14, version 8.1.0* Multi million dollar company but they cant fix the scheduling app after months how suprising ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* I hate this app so much it makes me want to quit my job, I can never see my schedule and always struggle to login because it’s crashing daily and doesn’t let me open the app. ### 1/5 — ts don’t work *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* i hate this app ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* This app’s developers are just as clueless as the executives who run Panera ### 1/5 — Trouble signing in *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* I often have trouble signing in to look at my work schedule because it sends me on an infinite loop of logging in over and over. My coworkers have this same issue ### 1/5 — not great *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* i cant login anymore, tried redownloading and still can’t. ### 1/5 — Not a helpful app *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* Constantly loops.

Constantly crashes and never sends notifications even if you enable them ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* Rarely lets me open the app without getting caught in an infinite sign-in loop, doesnt show my shifts half the time either. Terrible. ### 1/5 — NEVER works *2026-04-07, version 8.0.4* I’ve been an employee for almost 5 years and the app is impossible to use and never lets you log in. I’ve deleted the app multiple times and yet still cannot log into my account. It is so stressful especially when I am just trying to see my schedule. It’s constantly lagging and crashing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So glitchy *2026-07-24, version 8.2.5* App is very unreliable ### 1/5 — Crashes and wont launch app *2026-07-24, version 8.2.5* The app won’t open anymore ever since the update and fails to launch. Ive tried redownloading, restarting my phone, and logging in from other devices. I hope they fix this bug soon ### 1/5 — What the hell *2026-07-23, version 8.2.5* Whatever they did with this new update has broken the app. Pantry has always sucked. I can no longer open the app to view my schedule at all! Whatever is wrong with it they need to fix immediately. This app is honestly the most frustrating app I’ve ever had the displeasure to use. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-23, version 8.2.5* I’m a new employee, and sense the app is crashing it’s really making it difficult for me to be prepared when I start working regularly. The app is really making things harder to get accustomed too. Fix the GD app! ### 1/5 — Straight up garbage *2026-07-21, version 8.2.5* Glitchiest most unreliable app ever. It won’t even open anymore. Classic Panera quality, this companies a joke. ### 1/5 — Crashes so much *2026-07-21, version 8.2.5* I can’t even open the app anymore, I’ve tried deleting it and redownloading it, and it just crashes immediately when I open it. Come on I’m just trying to see my schedule. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-07-19, version 8.2.5* Ok so now I can’t even get into the app it crashes every time I try to open it. Thank for nothing🥰 ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-07-06, version 8.1.0* This app never works for me it’s extremely frustrating ### 1/5 — Pls fix *2026-06-14, version 8.1.0* I can’t see my payslips ### 1/5 — Infuriating *2026-05-25, version 8.1.0* never works ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2026-04-15, version 8.1.0* Very useful app. Glad to see some of the login issues resolved with the latest update ### 5/5 — Never a issue! *2023-10-20* My experience has been very good with the app, always able to access scedual and request time off and do whatever tasks for work! ### 4/5 — My pay *2025-10-26* Not allowed to see my paycheck this week, unlike before I was able to see my pay. ### 4/5 — I need this to work *2024-11-13* I use it for work and have been since September but now it’s not showing me my schedule even tho it’s been posted. I need the app to show me my schedule so I don’t miss any days ### 4/5 — Works fine, rarely crashes *2022-09-29, version 6.1.0* Works just fine for me! I’ve never had it crash before. I do wish it would tell us the position we would be scheduled for that day. (EX: Saturday,October 8th,8am-4pm on Drive-Thru) Other than that I find it quite useful! ### 4/5 — Overall a good employee app *2021-05-01* Overall it’s a pretty good app for Panera Employees. I finally was able to figure out the notification settings so it reminds me when the weekly schedule has been published. In addition, I can view the My Panera news and other announcements. The only reason why I removed on star is that if you click on iboh links, or any other links in there (like requesting days off) it opens the safari app every time. Why? Just have it open in the app itself. Why do you need to open another app on my phone. Might as well just delete this app and have everything online. Other then that one issue, it’s stable and pretty good. ### 3/5 — Decent, bare minimum | Suggestion *2026-07-03, version 8.1.0* It would be great if scheduled shifts could sync with the iPhone Calendar app or export as calendar events. That would make it much easier to keep track of work schedules. Otherwise the app works fine, although it is the bare minimum. ### 3/5 — Has bugs *2025-11-07* It needs to be updated. I keep having problems with the bottom of the screen, not loading their icons. It is unable to click on any certain ones I want. I’ve been trying to request off and it just won’t let me because the icons won’t show up and won’t load. Very inconvenient for me and my manager. ### 3/5 — Fix pls *2024-05-22, version 7.2.2* With updates it will not allow me to see my scheldule ### 3/5 — Pretty Annoying *2024-04-26* I couldn’t put my face ID or save my password for the longest time so I would have to input my employee email and password every single time to login. If i tried to temporarily leave the app to check my calendar and come right back to make sure my schedule matches it would sign me out every single time. I mean it works for the most part but for an app that is meant for work schedule it make it very inconvenient for me to compare my schedule. 😭 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
