Sling for the job

It’s set up like Facebook, but only all the people you work with have access. It’s got the “news feed” where everyone can post whatever they want to tell the group and everyone can see and like or comment on their posts…. Or you can send a DM private message to someone. You also can click a tab and see your entire schedule and who is else works with you that day…. You can even click days you need off work and press the button that sends the admin (your boss or manager) a request for that day to be unavailable to schedule you for. You can make a little profile with your photo. Yeah, it’s a brilliant idea and simple way to do things for jobs… esp those with several workers like myself in a busy restaurant/bar with kitchen staff, bartenders, and waitresses and waiters, managers and the boss and his wife. It’s our own little facebook. Sling is smart.

Aesthetically pleasing, functionally flawed

The app is simple to use and the design is aesthetically pleasing, making it easy to see your shifts. However, there are a couple things that need fixed. Most notably broken is the widget; it simply displays, “We couldn’t find your shifts. Are you logged in the Sling app?”. This function worked previously on my iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3.3, but has never worked on my iPhone XS running iOS 12.0.1. This was the main way I checked my shifts, and it made it so much easier. I don’t know if the app version was different, or if there is just an unknown compatibility issue where the widget feature only works on some versions of iOS. Lastly, as mentioned by another reviewer, the notifications are inconsistent at best, and completely missing or useless at worst. Most of the time I forget I have it set to remind me of my upcoming shift, because it either doesn’t push a notification, or it notifies me when my shift is starting in under 5 minutes. While this has never caused me to be late to work (as it isn’t my primary method of time management and ultimately one should be responsible for themself in regards to getting to work), it would be nice to have peace of mind knowing you have a reliable backup alert. Overall, I enjoy using the Sling app to view and manage my shifts, and I hope to see improvements soon.

Business made easy!

I’ve only had this app for a few days and still learning more about it. So far, I am happy with the set up. Staffing for 100 employees can be a difficult task when you doing it by pen and paper. Looking forward in using this program and simplifying life itself! I have not tried this program in a desktop, if there is an answer out please let it be known. Is there a way to repeat employees to a shift, instead of adding them every week? Is there a way to restrict employees from making a shift available within so much time? Is there a way an employee can be reminded no one accepted his shift when it’s made available within so much time before his shift starts? This would be great options that would make the program better and empower the program administrator.
