What users complain about in Paycor Mobile

Easily the worst payroll I’ve ever

This app is absolutely trash. Doesn’t record clock in clock out times right app doesn’t run 85% of the time.

Crashes all the time

App crashes multiple times a day when trying to clock in or out. Using iphone 17 Pro on iOS 27.0.1

The worst

Every part of this app and desktop version is terrible. It is a nightmare for all employees and HR. It’s glitchy and unreliable. Timeclock functions are almost impossible to manage. Especially when employees work across days like a night shift or miss a punch. What you see in a final product will not be what you get when you lock a time card.

Horribly glitchy

Spend some of the thousands of dollars you charge to update your software and app so that it is smart, fast, and intuitive. It’s currently clunky, glitchy and frustrating.

Horrible

Doesn’t let you sign in

This app sucks

Can’t login to this

Signing up

Never in my life have i ever had issues with signing up for payroll until I had to use this app i can’t get passed signing the documents without the app crashing or endlessly asking for a verification code that i correctly inputted to be told it’s not the right one this company belongs in the dumpster.

Bad sign in issues

Kind of hard to sign in when they email you invalid sign in codes. You can’t have these issues when you are dealing with peoples paychecks and taxes. I need this fixed NOW!! Also, super stupid that they won’t help you with customer service unless you are the HR. Horrible customer service. I would never use this if I owned a business.

I have to reinstall the app every day

This app finally wasn’t terrible until August 2026 and now I can’t login. There’s no way to do that. It only says you have X number of un synced punches. I have no idea why because the punches are all synced when I go online to look there is no sign in button. I can reinstall the app and it works for one day. Also, I cant change any settings for notifications on missed punches. I get text messages each time. From a different phone number. Make it stop! There is no way to communicate issues with the developer, except here. Our HR person is not technical enough to know how to communicate with paycor.

Terrible

I keep changing my direct deposit information and for some reason, the app keeps changing it back to an account I don’t use. I’ve literally changed my information more than ten times in one week. Worst app ever.

App for apple does not work

When I open the app and enter username, the app redirects to auth.paycor. What's the point of the app sign in if it redirects to a web site?

Worst app ever

My work just switched from paycom to paycor and personally that was the worst decision they ever made. Paycom functioned perfectly always and had so many better features, like seeing an estimate amount of your coming check. Paycor always says I’ve missed punch’s when I’ve clearly punched in or out. There’s always something wrong with the system even after updating and they don’t have the paycheck estimates feature. I really wish my work would go back to paycom.

TRASH!!

This App Is Trash It Will Not Let Me Log In What’s So Ever & Now I Can’t Get To My Paystubs

Stinks

Login issues, slow navigation, incorrect information regarding clock in and clock out. Multiple times I have clocked in and it has not registered, so I have to make a missed punch.

Do not use

This app sucks! Constantly logs me out and doesn’t accept my Face ID or correct password to let me log back in. And even if I change my password multiple times it still doesn’t accept the new password I just made. It’s so ridiculous!

Logged you out and then you go to login and tells you it’s the wrong user name or password

Honestly, I think this app really isn’t worth any business getting because they always have login problems when you go to log back in you give them your email gives you your username if you forgot it you use it username and then you go. I need my password and then I’ll go and do it and it doesn’t recognize your email or your username because it says it’s wrong so apparently the people who designed it couldn’t find their way out of a wet paper bag with fricking instructions.

i hate you

you have the worst login service of all apps ever

Beware of fees

The app doesn’t update in real time. The feature that lets you borrow from your next paycheck charges you fees on top of fees. You literally have to keep using it over and over again to get by. Which causes more fees. And then the pto when you submit it. It doesn’t notify your manager. I’ve missed hours and pto on my paycheck because of this. The more times you borrow the more fees incurred. So if you’re looking to use that feature take one lump sum and pay one fee. It’s better than them charging you seven fees in a week. App support and paycor support do not exist. There is no way to contact anyone even if you follow the prompts in the app. So basically if you wanna use this to get paystubs and see your hours great. If you wanna use all the features in paycor be prepared to pay the price.

Horrible app

Horrible app after every update it will not let me sign in even after changing password.

Honestly, this app is unreliable at best

Often the app signs you out, forgets your password and will not log your time. Safer to go through the website

Work related

Absolutely useless and designed primarily for management-as an employee its functions are limited. Repeatedly asking for authentication for basic purposes

Worst app ever

This app CONSTANTLY has glitches and never wants to work every other day I have to download and re install it just to work. This is become such a problem.

Never works

This app worked fine in the beginning and then there was an update and stopped being reliable. I can stand directly in front of a physical time clock and while using the app try to create a punch. Which then states I’m out of bounds. How is that possible?? Constantly having to submit missed punches due to app malfunction.

Terrible app all around

As an employee there have been so many times when Paycor just hasn’t worked or glitches or doesn’t allow you to look at your own hours worked. Truly garbage

Sucks

PTO time has been down for 7+ weeks Evert 4-6 weeks can’t login to account Pain in the Ar&e to recover login Boo on you!!!! 🤮🤮

Frustrating to use

Get logged out then cannot log back in. No problem logging into website but app will not accept my username or password

Fix your fking App

Stop prompting me to download “the newest update of Paycor” WHEN THERE ISNT A FKING UPDATE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD. Let me clock in then get off your trashcan of an app as fast as possible. Fix this POS.

Trash

It tells you to update before you can punch in, despite no update being available resulting in you punching in late.

Not great

Misses punches all the time. I get texts/emails from my boss asking what time I left on x date. Sometimes I login to just approve payroll. Makes me “update” I press the button, takes me to the App Store then I click update button. Takes me back to the original screen. Around and around we go. This app is used for literally one thing, to keep time and it’s quite terrible. Wouldn’t recommend. Thumbs down.

Terrible so many issues

I can’t even log in. This app is by far the WORST work/paycheck/clock in app, I have EVER used. I’d litteraly rather not work and be homeless at this point

Update Available

It takes me to the Apple Store to update but my only option is to open and I’m stuck in a loop.

This app is extremely annoying

WHY do you have to put your password in every time!? At least make it a pin!

Glitches

Every time, EVERY TIME, I clock in or out, I lose the ability to do anything else in the app. Nothing will load.

Login

This has happened twice where logging in doesnt work and gets to the point it locks my account i assume for too many tries using biometrics. Then i have to screw around resetting my password and getting codes which took over an hour to get back in, even though my email and phone number are correct i have to constantly verify both over and over again. Put an option on the login page to turn off biometrics and way for my phone to auto fill the username password like every other app has.

terrible support

terrible support, often fail to pay a payroll without explanation and with emails supporting that they okayed it. really ruined my vacation as a business owner/manager. hot trash company

Surprised Paycor has so many good reviews

Our company switched from Paycom to Paycor, and it has significantly increased the amount of busywork in our day-to-day operations—for both myself as a manager and my employees. Unlike Paycom, I still haven’t figured out how to integrate my schedule with my Apple Calendar, which has been a major inconvenience.Additionally, logging in can be a hassle. If you access the system online, the app often stops allowing you to log in, forcing you to delete and reinstall it just to regain access. Scheduling is another pain point, as it lacks an easy way to calculate labor hours when you need to stay within budget. I could go on, but honestly, I don’t have the time—mostly because of all the unnecessary time I already spend dealing with Paycor’s flaws.

Utter garbage

Constant issues with punching in/out because it doesn’t register the punch in the app. It shows ‘Punch Submitted’ which lulls me into a false sense of security because—and maybe I’m crazy for thinking this, but I actually believe the punch was submitted—when, in reality, the punch was not, in fact, submitted an overwhelming majority of the time. This is a payroll, benefits, and HR app. Stop trying to be what it’s not. The app doesn’t need to have a feature to message coworkers. It doesn’t need community feature(s). How about improving the basic functionality of the app instead of adding new, superfluous features…? Revolutionary idea, I know! Seriously, this app is utter garbage.l

Terrible

This app is completely unreliable. You never know when the app is going to update, my hours take forever to be logged, and it’s never consistent with when i can take my money off.

Eh

slow and buggy. hard to chat people from organization cannot copy and paste messages. and overall just slow lack of updates.
