Reviews for Sling: Employee Scheduling App

does almost everything you need it to do but one thing. on IOS offering shifts is instant while on Andriod across most devices you have to wait 10+ minutes per screen and even letter to type the individual you want to offer it too. this has been a problem for over a year at least […]

March 2025: glitchy app doesn’t always send notifications & sometimes not even an email. Seems to be more of a problem on android phones works well for a few weeks & then notifications become intermittent if any at all. Have missed shifts for work when they become available as haven’t been notified in good time […]

Edited: decreased from 3 to 1 star. Getting notifications continues to be a problem randomly, despite having it set for notifications. We use Sling for scheduling our employees. It works well *most* of the time but when it doesn’t, it really doesn’t. We have had MANY instances where Sling stops working without notice, or it […]

I’ve had it for 4 years because my job uses the app and I don’t think it’s been updated in that time. The same bugs persist and the app randomly stops working in the middle of messaging so you have to close the app and then retype your message hoping it will go through. It […]

Had the app maybe 6 months now and at first it was fine but now it won’t let me upload any form of photo in newfeed it says “socket closed” after loading for a while…all the other managers and people can post photos regularly so it’s very frustrating being one of the main manager and […]

Very broken app. As an admin, along with two other people, they receive notifications, and I don’t. It would be nice if the settings actually worked since I do all of the scheduling. Trying to respond to employees through messages is a pain because typing bugs out all the time. If you send emails asking […]

Glitchy and hard to use. Once signed onto the app, it does not allow you to use other apps on your phone unless you force it shut. I also tried to download the app to my computer, but even though I clicked on the “download to other devices” tab, it still will not allow this […]

I’ve had this app for about 2 years now and it’s incredibly laggy and has a nasty delay om notifications. I’ve struggled to communicate in a timely manner due to not receiving a notification of a message for upwards of 15 mins after it was originally sent. I would not recommend this app for large […]

Find something that’s not broken. I genuinely cannot stand this app and it’s web version. It never registers my clock in/outs on time, I get messages on an INSANE delay, and I never get notifications on time. Then, on the browser, it constantly deletes my messages WHILE IM TYPING which is infuriating. File sharing is […]

I get notifications sometimes and sometimes I don’t. I’ve missed communication, it’s almost flip a coin, 50% avg unnoticed.I’ve allowed permissions fully on my phone for the app and I’ve set on the app, notifications everything, still I miss almost half messages, no notifying on many of them, even when I have the app actively […]

App is terrible for Andriod users. I have had to uninstall and reinstall multiply times because I just do not get notifications at all. It is fairly quick with picking up shifts, dropping shifts, and all that but the delay for notifications is insane. I either get a notification 30-45 min AFTER whatever happened has […]

It works, assuming I close and reset it several times a day. Otherwise it doesn’t show messages, goes into infinite load screens, or won’t send messages to others. It took me almost three months of fighting before I could finally get it to change my profile picture. It’s a very frustrating app most of the […]

It’s great for scheduling and communicating, but it’s hard to do so when I don’t get notified of most of the messages I receive. I’ve updated, turned on my notifications AND have it notify my email, but I get neither. I have an Android, I guess it’s more of a problem for Androids. Maybe enough […]

Sometimes it takes way too long for a schedule to load that I have to reset the app. The notification system is a joke. It gives you an option to receive notifications at set times. For example, you can make it so it reminds you that your shift starts in an hour or 30 minutes. […]

The messaging on this app is atrocious. When typing a long message, the app slows down to a crawl and eventually freezes, forcing you to restart and type all over again. When trying to send a picture, there’s a high chance the app will just close. And the notifications show up whenever they want. I’ve […]

This app is severely neglected on Android. I use it for work and it’s just not reliable. From calendar syncs, to notifications, to having to constantly refresh the feed. Not to mention if your connection is spotty or you’re switching onto or off of wifi, it’ll spam several little sliders to let you know. It […]

💥💥USE 7-SHIFTS INSTEAD💥💥 I have an android and this app is absolute trash. My notifications show up when my actual phone notifies me but I open the app and they are nowhere to be found. Secondly, I wanted to put a shift up for grabs and the “…” feature in the upper right hand corner […]

I think the app is very useful and easy, but it keeps on randomly shutting off notifications and then I miss a bunch of info from work! I have to uninstall and reinstall regularly to get notifications back. I set up the backup of sending me email notifications, but even then I will miss messages […]

Hit or miss. Mostly miss On Android it’s just a nightmare. The code is extremely temperamental. One update works okay. The next one, you can’t upload images. Then they fix that and you don’t get notifications anymore. Then it kept signing us out randomly all the time. I’ve had it for about a month and […]

Works great for scheduling. But for some reason they can’t make an update that is compatible with android devices. It’s one thing after another. The biggest issues is the fact that notifications DON’T WORK. Like at all. But the scheduling part of it is great. Everything else needs help ASAP. it’s been like 9 months […]
