    Sucks

    This app honestly sucks! I have to use it everyday at work and 9 times out of 10 it freezes up on me. I always make sure my settings are correct and that I did everything right. Which I do, and that still does not work. The app literally sits and spins like it’s loading but never goes anywhere. I get so tired of fighting with an app everyday.

  • user·cc86App Storev7.0.112 Sept 2026on the store ↗

    Does not work

    Downloaded it because I was tired of logging in via browser and it just doesn’t work at all first it said bad domain with a white screen after logging in now it just has a white screen and says nothing. If I could give 0 stars I WOULD.

  • user·d91dApp Storev7.0.109 Sept 2026on the store ↗

    AWFUL

    It used to work great, but not anymore. I have to delete app, reinstall, then put in server code to access it EVERYTIME I need in it.

  • user·0fa5App Storev7.0.125 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    Spam

    Locked me out. Logged back into the app and it was videos.

  • user·8c61App Storev7.0.118 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    Very poor

    Lack luster appearance mixed with poor user experience. Unknown why any company would pay to use it. Not user friendly, no Face ID login, or remembering passwords.

  • user·4c46App Storev7.0.114 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    HORRIBLE APP

    it doesn’t let me sign into my account. It says that my password is incorrect and it’s hurting my feelings. It keeps popping up for a schedule if someone called Anna Bliss and I don’t know any Anna Bliss or where she came from and why there’s so many people with time request.

  • user·a8eaApp Storev7.0.106 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    Please fix the log in

    It’s stuck on landscape mode on my phone and I can’t see what I’m typing to log in my user name and password please I’m stressing out WHAT TIME DO I WORK

  • user·06c5App Storev7.0.104 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    Comically Terrible

    Truly insane how bad this app is. Clocking in and out is such a hassle. Like, comically so. I have to build in time each day to clock in and out bc this app takes so long to actually work. You have to assume it’s gonna take at least three tries to actually be able to get in. Beyond irritated that this is somehow the app my company decided to use.

  • user·f4cfApp Storev7.0.128 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    Horrible App

    Please fix this app! It almost NEVER lets me log on and see my schedule! It is horribly optimized for mobile devices and feels like I am using a broken program that absolutely nobody put any real effort into designing and developing.

  • user·86f5App Storev7.0.119 Jun 2026on the store ↗

    nope ..

    I literally just started a new job, & this is the app they have us using it’s so bad I just downloaded the app put in my information & everything sometimes my login won’t even load I just got the app yet have to keep downloading & reinstalling for anything to work absolutely not! every other app I’ve had so far works so smooth, but this is a big no

  • user·2511App Storev7.0.114 Jun 2026on the store ↗

    Worst app ever

    God forbid it shows badge notifications. Had a schedule that was modified today and never got a notification. This app SUCKS.

  • user·6a95App Storev7.0.113 Jun 2026on the store ↗

    Not working

    Just downloaded for my new job and getting “unable to contact server” so I can’t sign in or check anything, tried to delete and reinstall and it still doesn’t work

  • user·2873App Storev7.0.131 May 2026on the store ↗

    App frequently goes down

    The app frequently goes down, at least once every 1-2 weeks, making it impossible to sign in for hours or even days at a time. If you are required to use this app, I recommend you screenshot your schedule regularly (or find where it might be posted elsewhere) because you never know when you may no longer be able to see it!

  • user·e65cApp Storev7.0.124 May 2026on the store ↗

    This app sucks

    It takes a ridiculous amount of time to log in and I run into constant errors

  • user·7b8aApp Storev7.0.122 May 2026on the store ↗

    Hardly Works

    Likes to randomly log you out while you’re using it, or the log in screen bugs out and does not work because it thinks you’re on a computer so you just can’t see your schedule until the app works again.

  • user·b09aApp Storev7.0.122 May 2026on the store ↗

    Bug issues

    I literally cannot sign in without uninstalling the app and redownloading it

  • user·1165App Storev7.0.128 Apr 2026on the store ↗

    This app sucks

    Every time I try to log in so I can see my schedule. It keeps saying oh you unable to contact your sever. This app deserves a -100 star. Who in there right mind likes this app!!

  • user·d874App Storev7.0.105 Apr 2026on the store ↗

    ?

    Says there’s an error in my server id

  • user·8bb5App Storev7.0.126 Mar 2026on the store ↗

    Useless

    My employer uses Kronos and allows us to punch in on our phones while our laptops boot up. It literally takes longer for the app to load than it takes for the laptop to boot up. On top of that the app makes me sign in every single time.

  • user·bb6cApp Storev7.0.126 Feb 2026on the store ↗

    App is horrible

    Whenever I attempt to login it half screens and doesn’t allow me to type. It’s been a problem for at least 5+ years. It’s ridiculous. Can’t wait for my job to switch in the fall off of UKG.

  • user·42c2App Storev7.0.116 Feb 2026on the store ↗

    Fix it

    I can’t log into the server

  • user·dbdcApp Storev7.0.113 Feb 2026on the store ↗

    Constantly crashing

    I can most never just sign in and seen my schedule. I’m not sure if it’s just not compatible with an iPhone (based on the other reviews it seems like it’s the app) but I have gone full days without being able to check my schedule due to bugs/a glitch/not being able to type in the app to login. It’s incredibly inconvenient, I’ve literally never left a review for any other app that’s how frustrating and irritating this is.

  • user·e81bApp Storev7.0.104 Feb 2026on the store ↗

    Aaaargghh

    This app is terrible. Signs me out in the middle of doing things, won’t accept my password when I know I’ve put it in correctly. Hire some decent developers and make this better. Please!

  • user·d139App Storev7.0.120 Jan 2026on the store ↗

    Needs major upgrade

    When opening the app it always look like it’s glitching out they really need to fix this app

  • user·ae8bApp Storev7.0.104 Jan 2026on the store ↗

    Laggy, bad, and ugly

    Very laggy, very annoying wish my job used a different app.

  • user·21cfApp Storev7.0.103 Jan 2026on the store ↗

    Never works

    I’m surprised this company has yet to be sued for breach of contract because this app does not work, yet this company continues to get paid to manage work schedules for many companies. The login page alone is a joke with how it is always more than 50% off screen and cannot be seen. It also rarely connects to your company server, and constantly claims your username and password are incorrect even though they are correct. You literally have to uninstall and reinstall the app every day, but even that rarely resolves the aforementioned issues.

  • user·0eb9App Storev7.0.127 Dec 2025on the store ↗

    Horrible

    I log in and not even 5 seconds it says session timed out and makes me do it again multiple times.

  • user·7395App Storev7.0.119 Dec 2025on the store ↗

    Please Update.

    This needs a update badly. I login one time and now I can’t log back in because the login page is not on my phone screen fully. It should be this difficult to get in an app that was so cheaply made. And the fact you haven’t updated it for 9 months is ridiculous.

  • user·d9edApp Storev7.0.113 Dec 2025on the store ↗

    Horrible

    App UI not optimized for never iPhones. No biometrics

    For the love of everything… please…. I’m begging you…. I shouldn’t have to periodically get server connection error for sometimes days at a time… I know you see these reviews

  • user·b77eApp Storev7.0.110 Nov 2025on the store ↗

    Confusing

    App does not let me do self scheduling! Which is the reason I requested from my job to let me do it!

  • user·ab5fApp Storev7.0.107 Nov 2025on the store ↗

    Horrible formatting

    I physically cannot log on my iPhone and see my schedule nor can I use the log in bar because the formatting literally doesn’t let you click on anything. This app has never fixed itself and I physically cannot look at my sick hours while I’m out of work

  • user·88dfApp Storev7.0.103 Nov 2025on the store ↗

    This godforsaken app

    I can’t even get this app to work, I tried deleting it and downloading it again and now I’m even more lost.

  • user·2e56App Storev7.0.119 Mar 2025on the store ↗

    Archaic Trash

    This app is an archaic piece of trash & a sad excuse for a professional system for managing professionals. It is clear that the ACT Education Directorate was given a very meagre allowance with which to find a solution for servicing casual staff & this was the only piece of junk they could afford 🤦🏻‍♂️. How sad we have to put up with this! SIMS was terrible & yet way better than this. It is impossible to get a clear snapshot of basic calendar events such as bookings & availability. How embarrassing that this is the “new system” we’ve been provided

  • user·f705App Storev7.0.101 Mar 2025on the store ↗

    App Crashed: update 7.0.1

    This app repeatedly crashes and when it’s not, it is instead logging me out automatically On 26th February 2025 I installed update 7.0.1. Immediately post update, the app opens but now won’t connect to server for 4 days and counting I have had no access to the app. To Kronos: don’t release updates claiming to have bug fixes. Your newest update 7.0.1 has rendered the app useless. Fix it or be prepared for people to delete the app

  • user·9d02App Storev7.0.125 Feb 2025on the store ↗

    A ridiculous excuse for a professional workplace app

    The issues with this app and system are far beyond what I’m going to bother writing here, but if you’re a management team trying to find a system to use for your employees, look elsewhere. This app constantly signs you out, does not allow for easy autofill, the UI breaks frequently and is incredibly outdated and doesn’t have a single feature that other systems do not

  • user·f247App Storev6.10.313 Feb 2025on the store ↗

    Needs Face ID sign in

    Basic app. Easy enough to use. Except sign in on iOS & manually entering password for every punch is SO painful. Please add Face ID sign in and would rate 5 stars

  • user·03b7App Storev6.10.327 Dec 2024on the store ↗

    Autofill / Biometrics

    PLEASE ADD BIOMETRICS - I have not been able to easily utilise the app as every shift I need to log in several times due to time outs and my password isn’t that short. I see some of my colleagues which have biometrics that autofill their passwords, and others like myself who need to type the password in

    Unreliable and glitchy

    Slow and always glitching. No one want to login with a password and authentication code constantly.

    Glitchy, trying to get to requests and see open shifts at my workplace but the page on the app keeps skipping. I have tried on a different device too. Please fix asap
