    …app for the past two years and it’s been good up until 6 months ago. It’s so slow and buggy it’s infuriating. Every time I request a shift I have to force close the app and open it again to request another shift because it says error or when I go back to the open shifts page it doesn’t show the dates anymore. Just so…

    Planday Employee Scheduling — Buggy and slow This app is infuriating. It spams me with notifications, “you have a shift ending at XYZ.” I can’t do anything in the app until I clear a half dozen of said notifications. The app is slow and laggy, and I can’t even type without it freezing on me. It is an absolute chore…

    Planday Employee Scheduling — Buggy So slow. Always freezes and shuts off, then you have to reopen the app and it’s still slow. Could be a great app if it didn’t take me 2 minutes just to see my shift the next day.
