Ratings and Reviews
To keep communication
Home base is a very highly use for communication volume that is very highly recommended for all workers that carry a title working for Carlo’s company. I do depend on Home Base it really helps me to keep in communication with my Boss and coworkers etc. and especially in this time of quarantine during this pandemic COVID-19 the Boss and coworkers been communicating with one another checking on each other during this time for me I feel that it brought out POSITIVE BLESSINGS to one another Home Base kept communication for us all. I am a worker for the Las Vegas Bakery I truly miss work can’t wait to go back, so I highly recommend that we can keep Home Base it really serves a lot of purpose for me and for my other coworkers, supervisors, bakers,assistant manager and our GENERAL MANAGER, with all that I have stated above this Is all from my HEART communication is very IMPORTANT so Home Base needs to be kept ( if I took this to seriously forgive me it’s my HEART ) that did the talking I was just the person following my HEART with communicating. Please everyone be safe wear your mask and hope that this all blow over soon so we all can get back to work and bond as one again. I thank you for giving me the time to express how important Home Base is to me. Thank you, Marguerite Aina ( retail associate from the Las Vegas store)
Buggy GPS iOS 18 (12 Pro Max)
I’ve had awful inconsistencies with the HB app accessing my Location for the Time Clock (arguably the most useful mobile feature, if it works) ever since the update to iOS 18 (and persisting since the latest point iOS updates). Almost every time I arrive at work now, I’ll open the app to clock-in (as I’ve done for over a year now) & get an error pop-up telling me the app needs permission to access my Location to use the Time Clock. When I tap through the notification into the app’s Settings, Location Access is perfectly fine, unchanged. For about a week I thought the issue was somehow connected to my iPhone connecting to the office WiFi as I entered, so I got in the habit of turning off WiFi until after I’d entered the building & clocked-in — which worked until it didn’t and I’m back to square one. Toggling the Location permission to Ask Next Time doesn’t make any difference. I’ve even tried uninstalling & reinstalling the app, without success. Other than pestering my manager to do/note my times when the app fails, my alternative for now is to just let the app sync my schedule to my Calendar & be a team messaging platform, and sign into the desktop site to handle my Time Card.
Also: please improve calendar/schedule navigation. It’s such a drag to an only be able to view one week — either give us alternate calendar/schedule view options (month, list/agenda), or a menu to input the date/range we want to jump to in the schedule.
Developer Response ,
Hi,
In our latest build, which released last week, but went to fully 100% of users today, many of these GPS issues have been fixed.
If you are still experiencing this problem, could you please reach out to our customer support team at help@joinhomebase.com? In your email subject, please say "Attention: App store review" and explain that we've asked you to write in. We'd love to get more information.
Thank you very much,

Amazing App!
I have used Hot Schedules multiple times, and this is the first company I have worked for that uses Homebase! Homebase blows Hot Scheduels out of the water, completely! The interface is amazing, coupled with the communication tools! The way you can release and have shifts covered is beautiful and simplistic! The creative to give the “work staff” personal profiles to allow for uniqueness outside of the work uniform is another great feature. You could perhaps call it a mini Facebook for work.
Homebase will text you an hour before your shift to remind you of work that day! They will text you when the schedules is posted and will include the schedule within that text. They truly have so many great features. It’s incredible how companies like Hot Schedule dominate the market and there are wayyyyy better applications to use such as Homebase! I truly mean this.
Lastly, Another great feature of Homebase is the ability to create separate chat groups. Ex; like a servers chat room, or kitchen chat room. That allows only the people in those position to see the message content that is clearly only related to them.
