The app functions great for scheduling. Easy to learn and intuitive. There are a couple quirks that annoy me. When changing a shift, rarely will a person qualified for the shift be in suggested in the drop down. For instance, changing a manager shift, hosts and dishwashers show up but zero management. This , in the grand scheme is minor, but frustrating nonetheless.

Thanks, Tom! We’re glad Homebase is working well for scheduling and that you find it easy to learn and use. We hear you on the quirks with shift changes not suggesting the right roles — that can be frustrating, and we’ve shared this with our product team. Thank you for being the best part of Homebase 💜

Intrusive. Cluttered. Full of pushes to get you to take their payday advance. Seems to cater to teenagers, not adults working real jobs. No, I don't want to compliment a coworker in the app, and I don't want to get any either. I'm usually a pretty positive person, but this app just gives me the ick, bad. This is some participation trophy level nonsense rolled up in an ad for predatory payday loans.

Hi Helena! We're sorry to hear that not all features are helpful. We'd be happy to help remove any mention of the Cash Out feature from the app for you. Please navigate to the 3 horizontal bars in the upper left of the Homebase app > Select the Support section in the mobile app > then select the option to "Chat with us" to opt out from Cash Out.

Up until now the app has been relatively good, but one of the recent updates completed screwed up message notifications on Android. I never get notifications for chat messages and have to manually open the app to check. Also I have noticed huge battery drain due to constant wakelocks and the app staying open in the background all the time, and I have to force quit the app to stop it. I have already tried reinstalling the app and the problems persist.

We’re really sorry for the frustration—the messaging issue on Android should now be resolved. If it’s still happening, try reinstalling or tap Support for help. For battery drain, go to your phone’s settings > Homebase > Battery and uncheck “Unrestricted” to stop background activity. 💜
