    Just started using When I Work

    Edited: May 07 2025

    Summary: It's good app. Very easy to use. I think I would need some training for certain things I would like to use if the app can do it. But overall satisfied

    Positive: I like the convenience of clocking in and out so easily and checking to see who's already clocked in.

    Negative: If I call someone in last minute to work, I have to create a shift for them to clock in. Would be nice if they can clock in and it sends an approval to management to approve with one click.

    Positive: Friendly user interface, easy to create schedules, and easy for team members to make changes and requests.
