    I hate starting out this review as completely negative but as someone who used it before and really enjoyed that app seeing so many features locked behind pay walls such as estimates or second jobs it’s quite a far-fetch on what used to be a wonderful app. I wish I could use the app the way it was, and I know the developers have to put some form of paywall on it due to finances and having to keep it running but, it’s just disappointing that they have to do this.

    We're sorry to see you change your review to one star. We were once a free app and tried really hard to keep it free but with rising costs we would have not been able to continue to offer a free version of the app without a subscription. We're working on improving the free version of the app but can only do this with user feedback. If you would like to get in touch over Whatsapp we can work with you to make this part of the app better

  • Not a fan of the new update

    The new update is way overcomplicated. If I enter a shift that should be the end of it. I don't want to or need to go back to it to "approve" it. Then there's this weird message on some "linked worked" and "linked scheduled" does nothing as far as I can see. Please just go back. Every review since the update is negative and yet they're doubling down on adding unnecessary additions. Seems they aren't actually listening to feedback like the email for this new update says. I'll have to look for a less convoluted hours tracker. Shame I've used this since the beginning and have a yearly subscription.

    Hey we've made some changes the new update so you can keep automatic approval on at all times and changed the wording on the linked schedule which just allows you to compare your worked shift to your originally scheduled one. This is particularly important for people who's working hours change a lot. We have more changes coming and appreciate feedback so please Whatsapp us if you have anything you would like us to add.

  • I’m in love all over again

    I downloaded this App back in Oct 2020 when I started a new job and needed an easy way to track my rota. I loved all the features and how easy it was to navigate! I wanted to keep using it, but back then, you could only input a certain amount of rota entries before it asked you to upgrade to premium. I deleted the app, disappointed, but came back recently after discovering the charge was completely removed! Feedback has definitely been listened to and taken into account!There are also many different options to suit your employment, and It’s a massive bonus to have the extras, like important document storage, links to employee rights and reoccurring bill tracker, in-app and free of charge!Only thing I would like added is an option for one-off pay dates (and pay cut off dates) that override the usual payment schedule: my pay will go in a week early if my usual schedule means I get paid after Christmas, so it makes using the app unreliable during this time. I can still log shifts, but my pay date and amount wouldn’t be accurate. Being able to manually adjust this would be very helpful.. Thank you! 🩶

    What an amazing review - thank you thank you thank you for coming back to us! We try our best to listen and build WAC so it helps as much as possible. Good news... We are in the process of revamping cut off days! So we shall soon add more functionality to make this easier for you. Have a great week!

  • Terrific app!! 👍

    I have to say this is a great app for tracking zero-hours contracts. I’ve been using it for a couple of months & think it is a great way to keep up to date with one’s work commitments. It is relatively straightforward to use & has quite a lot of functionality built in, like document storage, which, considering it is a free app, is an excellent feature. So far I’ve only discovered 2 shortcomings, unless I’m missing something: 1 - if I add a rota-ed shift & that shift is cancelled, I haven’t found a way to remove it from the record summary, 2 - in the calendar view, away of displaying all days that were worked, even if across multiple employers / workplaces, so you get an overview of all days worked. Currently it can only be viewed in a workplace by workplace basis. But having said that it is a fantastic app & glad I have it on my phone!! 👍👍👍👍

  • Fantastic App!!

    Matt_D05

    WAC is fantastic at tracking shifts and calculating your pay!It feels like a breeze. You can input your rota directly into the app, you input the wage, and WAC does the rest for you. It’s fantastic, I use it everyday. Even after switching to being a premium service, it’s still so affordable and I would much rather be able to just pay the fee than having to calculate how much I should be getting at the end of the month. Now it’s just a quick glance. One piece of feedback I would have is I’d love more advanced “Overtime Rules” I get paid by the hour for Overtime and a lot of the time it’s irregular overtime so my pay is not 100% correct. I’d love to adjust and customise a shift to be able to input into the app how many hours I’ve done, the time stamps of the overtime, and most importantly, the rate. That would be amazing!!!

    Hey Matt, thanks so much for your review and feedback! We've been relentless in our mission to keep WAC free for the last four years, however, apps are incredibly expensive to run and new features cost tens of thousands of pounds to implement into the app. We've made it so free users of the app can still track their hours, add their rota and check their Gross Pay estimate with our pay cycle view on Records. We appreciate your concern, but we have made the app as affordable as possible, especially for our longtime users to ensure they are rewarded for supporting us over the last four years.

  • Awesome Free App!

    Charlotte, Wolverhampton

    This app is soooo good for me as a student. I work for my university; some hours directly employed (but still zero hours), and some hours with an agency on multiple contracts. Whilst I’m technically working for the same employer, having different employers, pay rates, timesheet signatories can get VERY confusing at times, especially when I have to record hours for each one - so this app has been an absolute god send! My only suggestion for improvement would be to be able to add custom pay periods. My monthly paid employment is paid on the last working day of each month, but my pay period is sometimes 4 weeks, and sometimes 5 weeks. It would be amazing if I could put the dates in manually to reflect 100% - that said, thank you so much for creating this guys - Charlotte

    Thank so much for the review Charlotte - The good news is you can already set your pay period to be the last working day of the month. All you need to do is head to Profile > Workplace > edit > Payday > date and select the last working day of the month 👍
