### 2/5 — Clock and time display

*2026-04-24*

Please put bigger time and date on landing page . After today update it vanished

**Developer response:** We’re so sorry for the frustration—that’s not the experience we want for you. Thank you for the feedback, it truly helps us improve. We’ll be sure to pass along your request about making the time and date larger on the landing page. 💜

Thank you for being the best part of Homebase 💜

### 3/5 — New version is a downgrade

*2020-01-28*

Older version allow employee to see their timesheet. New version does not. Transparency is important with our employees. This is a downgrade.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Employees can visit our mobile app or visit our website at app.joinhomebase.com to have full transparency and review timesheets in detail.

### 2/5 — Poor Experience, Unusable for Business

*2019-06-01*

Constant daily issues with shifts not syncing to their servers. We must troubleshoot this several times a week. Very frustrating experience for small business with two locations and 12 employees. 

And it is not an issue as we have FIOS internet with 75megs download and upload speeds.

### 3/5 — Wonky at times

*2019-03-02*

Has been working great for months, not sure if it’s because of a new update but my employees clock in through the app on our iPads and it doesn’t seem to register that they actually clock in. Seems to be an in going issue for a couple of weeks now. Other than that all the other features work great.

### 1/5 — Website crash

*2015-09-23, version 1.5*

I am unable to have employees clock in and out too.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2015-09-23*

App crashes every time an ID is put in.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-02*

App isn’t functioning properly, it does not let employees clock in or see the schedule

### 1/5 — Cambiar

*2025-06-06, version 5.06.2*

Esta nueva actualización es demasiado lenta y las personas no pueden ponchar bien sus horas

### 1/5 — Good until “update”

*2024-09-02*

Pls undo update all u did was make it longer to clock in, made the buttons smaller, and overall ruined the app pls just undo it, idk why u even downgraded in the first place the normal one was fine. Why clock in immediately when u can wait 10 seconds like what.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry the update has made your experience worse instead of better. That’s never our goal. Updates are meant to improve usability and save time—not add frustration—and we’re truly sorry that hasn’t been your experience.

We hear your feedback and take it seriously. One thing that may help is making sure your device is running the latest OS version and that the Homebase app is fully updated. Clearing the app cache in your phone’s settings can also help improve performance.

We’d love the chance to walk you through the changes and help make things smoother. Please reach out through the Support tab in the app or email us at help@joinhomebase.com. Thanks for your honesty—and for being the best part of Homebase. 💜

### 1/5 — Terrible Support

*2024-02-01, version 5.0*

Reps are quick to email and call to pitch additional services, yet a single basic support question remained unresolved despite asking through multiple channels. At least this was at the get go, allowing us to move on to other options before too much time is wasted.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-09-22*

Bought an iPad, paid for a yearly membership, Timeclock app requires owner credentials every 30mins. I don’t always have an owner or manager available. But because of this I have a line of employee waiting to clock in. Should I return everything? Very disappointing. I have no published schedules.

### 1/5 — Exasperating

*2021-08-04*

If its working, its slow at best and the new version of time sheets STILL does not work but LOOK OUT if you need tech support…OMG 3.5 hours on the phone with a tech named Cherry, she knows NOTHING!  My time and attendance still  did not export and my payroll had to be keyed in manually!  I get am email that my problem had be escalated and that someone would get back to me with in two business days…REALLY 2 business days…ok ill tell my staff to expect their checks 2 days late 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️  i am now looking for a different time and attendance to use because my blood pressure can no longer take this…

### 1/5 — Unusable after update

*2021-06-25*

We’ve used this app for 4 years and it’s never been great. The option to have free service for our small business was more of our focus. Now the app has updates and won’t move passed the sign in screen. My staff cannot clock in creating more work for my management team. My staff needs to be able to trust their timecards are accurate.

### 1/5 — NOPE

*2019-03-02, version 2.4.1*

Our app is now not usable with this update. No one can clock in or even open the app!

### 1/5 — App continually getting worse

*2018-06-14*

Non stop issues now with employees coming up and telling me it won’t load or doesn’t give them the option to clock/in or out and breaks generally give them the hardest time. Went well for a while but a lot of issues lately

### 1/5 — Employees unable to click in or out

*2017-12-26*

It just does the “loading circle” and they are unable to use the timeclock.

**Developer response:** Hi Smoqehouse, that certainly doesn't sound right, please send us a note at help@joinhomebase.com and we'll take care of the issue for you.

### 5/5 — Big improvements

*2019-09-23, version 4.0.5*

The latest update has made a big improvement to syncing and reliability. Long overdue but greatly appreciated!

**Developer response:** Hi there - thanks for the review. We are glad that you are liking the update!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2018-11-15*

Very easy to use, efficient, perfect for our chiropractic office.

### 5/5 — Easy and Reliable

*2018-05-16*

Employees can clock in quickly, and the photo is a great addition! Staff loves the app too.

### 5/5 — Great app for the team

*2018-05-15*

Got rid of our old time clock app from another company and the team loves it. Easy to run payroll and it integrates with the schedule builder. All very easy to use

### 5/5 — Great Timeclock

*2017-09-11*

Finally no wasting paper!!

### 5/5 — Employees are loving this👍🏼

*2016-11-29*

Not only is this a great app for business owners it is also awesome for our employees giving them better access to schedules, shift trades, shift covers, time off requests, and availability. A ton of great management tools, software syncing, and an overall good user interface.

### 5/5 — Awesome software, awesome service

*2015-07-21*

I recommend this app to all the Square users out there or in fact, the none Square users as well. Great way to keep track of time and labor costs to the minute with a clear Dashboard. Customer service is beyond exceptional. Will spread the word to all my restaurateurs!

### 4/5 — Needs more features

*2023-10-26*

There should be an option for employees to view their schedules from this app. It does not make sense need manager PIN to see schedule. Otherwise a great app.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-10-02*

Great app, could you add support for running the app in portrait mode?

**Developer response:** Glad you’re liking it! Thanks for the suggestion - that’s something we’ll certainly be keeping in mind for the future

### 4/5 — Quirky but great when it works

*2018-07-31*

CONS: If it doesn’t get a good WiFi signal, its spins and won’t let people sign in.  You have to put it in offline mode as a fix.  Schedule shows staff members who should not appear. It does not mirror web-version. Schedule does not show staff who take time off/vacation. amera takes picture took quick so I end up with pictures of hands at times.

PROS: Simple interface, no lag, best app of it’s kind.

REQUESTS (Web-version): Option to remove/hide sales and cost related data.  Assign permanent shift hours depending on role. Copy pervious week schedule to save time.
