### 3/5 — Portrait only on iPad

*2024-08-01, version 6.20*

Your marketing photos on the App Store show the app working in landscape on iPad yet when I use it I’m forced to portrait

### 4/5 — Ok

*2023-08-13, version 6.4*

Where do I look to see how many days holidays I have remaining. If the option was on the app I found it difficult to locate

### 5/5 — Doug Fortnum

*2023-04-26, version 6.2*

Simple and easy to use what people require.

### 5/5 — 👍🏽

*2023-03-07, version 6.2*

Easy to use great for keeping track of holidays

### 5/5 — A great time saver!

*2022-12-14, version 6.2*

We’ve started using this for our organisation and are all very impressed with the intuitive and user-friendly design and with the time saved in booking, approving and administering staff leave. Great support too. Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Timetastic 🌟

*2022-09-29, version 6.0*

6 years on and we’re still fans! 
Timetastic is super easy to use and well designed for both desktop & mobile.
Leave is simple to request and manage with the team able to book leave 24/7.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2022-09-21, version 6.0*

The ronseal of apps, does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

### 5/5 — First Review Ever

*2022-08-23, version 6.0*

This is my first and probably only review for an app in my life. After spending a little more than two years reviewing solutions for employee vacation time management I can wholeheartedly guarantee you that Timetastic is substantially superior to all other alternatives. On top of that it is insanely inexpensive to buy. I wish you luck in your hunting, but save your time and energy and download Timetastic.l!

### 5/5 — Must have app for small business 💪

*2022-06-17, version 5.6*

Makes booking time off and leave requests pain free. Once it’s set up you don’t need to worry about too many staff being off at once. It really does just look after itself. Brilliant happy to pay for this app to help future development.

### 3/5 — Used to be better!

*2022-06-12, version 5.6*

This app was actually better in a previous incarnation as a recent update has completely removed the option to be able to use it in landscape mode, meaning you can only ever view week at a time and not a month (like you used to be able to in landscape mode)
I’m sure it has some trick new options but this was one I used a lot that now does not function.

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2022-06-07, version 5.6*

We have started using Timetastic for our small business and it has made all staff leave/absence so simple to manage! The customisable features made this app stand out above others we trialled and the colour & design of the app makes it really user friendly and quick for all our employees. Will for sure keep using whilst we are at a smaller size!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-06-04, version 5.6*

Fantastic app I get away with bloody murder plenty days off plenty sick days yehhh and I am a big bully to JP

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2022-05-03, version 5.6*

The App is awesome, it’s a Holiday revolution in the planning and recording work holidays. Easy access to my holiday days owed, team holiday up dates and email reminders… and no more wall charts

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-04-20, version 5.5*

Timetastic has given us a really simple and straightforward solution to manage our team’s leave. The iPhone app is great for basic access so people can manage their bookings on-the-go, and the iPad/desktop versions with full functionality provide everything I need for reporting and oversight.

Love it!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-04-20, version 5.5*

Fantastic holiday board! So easy to use - highly recommend 😎👍

### 5/5 — Should of used Timetastic sooner!

*2022-04-19, version 5.5*

Our team is small at work and I thought, spreadsheets could do the job. And it sort of does. But when we gave Timetastic a whirl, it just made sense. Less admin, stress and everyone knows where they stand. Would recommend!

### 1/5 — Stupid app as nothing

*2025-05-26, version 6.22*

This application is completely bad and ill-conceived and I'll tell you why: if you want to book a vacation for more than 15 days at the beginning of the year because the appointment may be filled soon, you have no chance because the application will tell you that you do not have enough days worked for the required number of days of vacation. ok fine. how can I have worked more than 8 months at the beginning of the year ??? so that I can get a vacation for 15 days ??? the employer does not have to worry that he will pay me vacation and I will not come because my vacation for 15 days will be at the end of July and by then I will have worked the required amount for vacation, i.e. no fear that the employer will lose money. but ok I'll give you an example if 5 people wanted a 15 day vacation in the middle of the year and according to this really stupid app you could only book it after September because otherwise the app would keep telling you that you don't have enough days worked for the required amount of vacation so then at the end of the year 5 people would have to take all their vacation and the employer would have no one at work. this app is terribly stupid.

### 1/5 — Terrible interface

*2024-11-28, version 6.21*

How hard can it be to make an app that shows a calendar so you can select a range of days to take off.
Days already booked as bank holidays or weekend are so faintly marked you can hardly see them. The selection calendar is a different page to the standard calendar and doesn’t show you days already taken. So you have to ‘remember’ those days from one page to the next. Selecting from and to is awful, once you choose the ‘to’ date it sets both from and to to the same date.
So you log into the website and do it from there.
Just how can this have nearly 5 stars

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-09-05, version 6.20*

Scam!

### 1/5 — Free trial?

*2024-05-02, version 6.20*

What the… it’s a glorified note-taker.

### 1/5 — Update has made it less user friendly

*2021-10-20, version 5.1.1*

The new update has taken a nice and simple app and made it awkward to use. Wish you would revert back

### 1/5 — From great to useless overnight

*2021-10-04, version 5.0.2*

What a shame this was a great tool until the recent update which has now made it almost unusable.

### 1/5 — New version

*2021-09-25, version 5.0*

I hate the new version not easy to use at all

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2021-09-25, version 5.0*

Very difficult to navigate and lots of useful features now gone - very disappointing as it was great before!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-30, version 4.1.6*

App doesn’t even load when you open it

### 1/5 — Why no Apple Calendar integration?

*2021-04-02, version 4.1.6*

Really disappointed I had to take a screenshot to share my holidays with my wife.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-07-24, version 7.1.2*

So easy to use

### 5/5 — Makes holidays simple

*2024-12-21, version 6.21*

Great little app for the money , couldn't recommend highly enough..

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-25, version 6.20*

Nice layout and so easy to use 👍

### 5/5 — Timetastic Fantastic

*2024-01-27, version 6.10*

Works well for our organisation. Technology that relates on a human level, the language, layout, and easy read vibes gives relatable information. All very supportive when diary planning and actually getting excited about time away from work, Timetastic goes on the journey with you… backing up with response comments.  
Love that where it’s made has such a high profile on the site. Nice touch!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2023-12-14, version 6.9*

Just makes it easy for me to book days off and keep track upon what days are bank holidays etc.

### 5/5 — Really good app!

*2023-10-20, version 6.7*

I use this to book my annual leaves and it honestly is the best way to book it. You can see when other staff have booked annual leave so there isn’t a double booking that might cause an inconvenience to my other colleagues.

### 5/5 — Brill little app

*2023-10-06, version 6.6*

Cheap and easy 
Game changer

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-09-02, version 6.4*

This app has quite literally changed our lives, we used to have a wall chart for staff to book days off, by mid year it was a smudged mess. This is so easy to use, me and my employees love it, I’d recommend to any business

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app

*2023-06-01, version 6.2*

So satisfying to have something so efficient and easy

### 5/5 — Great addition to my planning!

*2023-05-31, version 6.2*

I love this wee app, it’s great for the team as well. Time off requests have reduced as they can see when others are off.
