It’s clearly a collection of apps that were purchased and tried to integrate under the paycor umbrella. One app functions entirely differently from another and support is nonexistent. Sales people will…
Strong complaintPaycor Mobile — 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…

Questions about this idea
- Is Frustration with Unreliable Time Tracking App a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 53 different people described it independently, in 53 mentions, the earliest from 20 Oct 2023 and the most recent from 28 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 4 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
