I love the ability to use an app. I can use the finger print sign in, that was a very nice update a while back. The newest update had grouped “swipe-n-go” and “group transfers” under the same heading. I want to be able to sign in and clock in with swipe-n-go. I don’t even know what group transfer is and I don’t need it. The menu button in the upper left is good for if I need to look up something but 99% of my use is signing in and punching in. And the last update has made that harder. So I give 2 stars for a bad update. Make a swipe-n-go default start page or a swipe-n-go button on the dashboard and I will be happy. I don’t want to see a group transfer/swipe-n-go button though. That just adds more steps and more things I don’t need. Perhaps a toggle in setting for those who need group transfer?

Our time clock employees can see their work hours and submit their timesheet. Our salary employees can input and submit their project hours for the entire pay cycle. A small number of remote employees can only clock in from their mobile app with geo location data linked to their time punches. All our employees are able to submit PTO requests from their mobile phones. All our supervisors can fix missed punches and approve timesheets and PTO requests. The price is right - a free app! We just needed our system admin to enable the features for each selected group of employees and supervisors.

The app allows a user the barebones functionality of punching in and out and checking a time sheet, but it does it slowly and without style. Each time punch is at least 4 clicks and takes a good 20-30 seconds to load, and the UI looks is akin to the program design in Windows 95. I am giving it two stars because it does what it’s supposed to do (most of the time), but there is huge opportunity in both function and form.
