    A very useful tool to keep you connected

    Reviewed on 2018/02/28

    Pros

    It is an application very easy to use and adapt, it allows you to be always connected to your work team as well as the great advantage it offers to register and control the programming of the whole team to improve work dynamics

    Cons

    It is a great tool, it does not have any problem that hinders the work, but in some moments you can improve the monitoring of the progress of the equipment, but the rest is a very useful application.

    Pros

    Ease of use is a major thing for us. Some of the team is tech savvy and some not so much. This product really worked for everyone at all levels of experience that needed to use it.

    Cons

    Like anything there are improvements that could be made but they ARE being made frequently so no complaints here.

    Allows me to connect with coworkers and post my shifts. The schedule always transfers to my Google calendar.

    It's buggy. I have a lot of issues accessing my message history and also have to close the app and reopen it several times before I'm able to view my schedule.
