myWorkforce 4+

This app is terrible compared to others. See hotschedules for a great scheduling app. It is worth the money.

This one will lock you out multiple times a year and if you are the manager, you will have to deal with your entire staff not knowing their schedule. Or worse, you staff will not show up for a shift.

Your staff cannot swap shifts between multiple positions even though you can set manager approval. You staff cannot pick up shift if they set their unavailability for that day, but they become available.

The worse thing, I have tried to work with the developers about these issues, and they just confirm that you cannot do these things. Can you at least tell me that you are working to change them?

Our company moved on from hotschedules due to their recruiting tool, but they discontinued it in 2020.

It gets one star above the minimum because it functions better than an excel spreadsheet being emailed out and because of the analytics.

This is one of the most buggy apps I’ve ever used. It loves to crash and restart itself at any given time. There’s been many times in which I’ve had to delete and redownload the app because it wouldn’t let me sign in. Additionally, when I can actually get in to the app, it crashes EVERY TIME I try to delete an unavailability request.
On top of all that, when the app actually functions properly, its hard to get past its horrible design. There is no way to set your availability, just your unavailability. Not only is this confusing, but it doesnt work properly. Unavailability will sometimes display the wrong day. Time off requests are no better. You set a start date number of days, not a start date and an end date. I’ve been with this job for 3 months and Ive already messed up multiple time off requests thanks to this system. Under no circumstances would I use this app if my job did not require it. IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY, PLEASE URGE YOUR EMPLOYER TO AVOID THIS APP. There are a number of good alternatives such as Dayforce that will save you and your employees a lot of headaches.

Often get locked out of my account- thankfully I’m not the type to forget my log in and password... but my coworkers are. Also I can never open the full schedule to see who is working, I always get an error message saying that the webpage can’t be found. Makes it virtually impossible to see who I’m working with without asking and also getting a shift covered. Just annoying overall.
