App + web and notifications... Generally we have not found better product so far for 24/7 operations team. > > **Cons**: Not really , suits our needs, if you need more reports you have to pay, what is normal and reasonable. Not sure if possible to have few different time zones in one schedule, based on location > > Generally excellent tool to organize and coordinate shifts. Daily use, easy to follow and manage, flexibility and many options. ----- ### "Wonderful Scheduling app & very user friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Tracy** | *19 March 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use this program for scheduling my front desk staff and aquatic staff. It's been working really well and it's very easy to use. My older staff are equally able to figure out the program without much issue which is really nice. I also like that it's available on an app as well as the website. > > **Cons**: I wish the free user accounts didn't keep it at 50 users. Sling keeps downsizing and I'm over my limit already and can't add any more\! I'm using the trial of the business premium \& love the geofencing/clock-in feature, however, I found that if you accidently clock out, you cannot edit the clock out or clock back in until your next shift. There should be a way to edit the clock-out like there is the clock-in. > > Overall, I love utilizing Sling for my job. I wish the free account had more slots available. ----- ### "Works Well" — 3.0/5 > **Kali** | *11 March 2025* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Color coding employees, moving around schedules, able to print out month worth of shifts > > **Cons**: Unable to assign admin employees, rotating matrix is hard, cant make our short days part of the set schedule > > Mostly good. Works well, but would benefit from newer features ----- ### "Great Schedule Management App" — 5.0/5 > **Alec** | *14 April 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to arrange and coordinate various schedules and staff calendars. Nice to have desktop and mobile friendly app to bounce between seamlessly. > > **Cons**: This is mostly operator-influenced, but my staff has multiple calendars, so it became easy to conflate schedule commitments if the user doesn't pay close attention to which calendar they are working under. > > I really enjoyed it overall, and I appreciated its integration with our Gusto account. My team was shrinking in size, so it became less necessary to use a separate app, but I would have kept using it if I had kept a larger staff. ----- ### "Easy and simple platform" — 5.0/5 > **Rumela** | *19 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Relatively straight forward to use. Can see overall view of upcoming shifts and easy to clock in/out with adjustments if needed. Also like the feature of seeing how many hours were worked each week so invoicing can be accurate. > > **Cons**: No features I didn't like. I hardly used the chat function but did notice when it was being used, for example, for reporting sickness, there'd be multiple chat threads when maybe it could be populated in one stream? > > Easy to use and simple. Visually straightforward, not clunky and everything was clearly laid out for first time users. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105033/sling?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105033/sling) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
