About this app

​HotSchedules is the industry's leading employee scheduling app because it’s the fastest and easiest way to manage your schedule and communicate with your team.

Team members love it because they can swap, pick-up or release shifts with one click. Work-life balance is easily managed with automatic shift pick ups when you want more hours and time off requests for when you don’t. Calendar sync and notifications keep your Schedules and the roster automatically updated to your phone with any manager-approved changes.

Managers appreciate the 75% time savings when building schedules and one-click approvals for shift changes. The ability to monitor business performance with sales and labor snapshots from anywhere, keeps them out of the back office. And most importantly, staying connected with broadcast and one-to-one messaging makes for a happy and productive team culture.

NOTE: The HotSchedules application REQUIRES a valid HotSchedules user account through your employer. Need help? Contact Customer Care 24x7x365

awful. just awful. Unintuitive, not user-friendly, obvious features not there especially when trying to communicate needs regarding time off and scheduling in general. Feels incredibly dumbed down. Prepare to bang your head against a wall. half the time I can't tell if a feature is missing or it's just really buggy... often can't enter information. The ability to send texts to coworkers is great, and it updates to my Google calendars really well!

Sorry to hear you're having a frustrating experience. We're working to improve usability and fix bugs, especially around scheduling and time off. We're building the option to 'Give a Shift' (direct to a team member) and allow Shift pickup to be auto-approved. Glad that calendar sync and texts are helpful-we appreciate the feedback and are listening

This app worked fine for me for years and I never gave it a second thought. They just overhauled the UI with a recent update (which honestly I couldn't care less what my work schedule app looks like) and now it won't function 90% of the time. I'll open it up and it just stays on the blue Hotschedules screen and never loads anything beyond that. I have to keep force closing it over and over again until it finally works. Great job on

Update happened and now the app will not open. It worked fine before. **cool, it works now. I didn't do anything different than what I normally do. So, I dont know what was actually causing the problem. **

Hi there, sorry the app won't open after the update. A few things to try: check you're on a stable internet connection, confirm you have the latest app version, and if it still won't open, uninstall and reinstall the app. If that doesn't fix it, call support on (877) 720-8578 or log a ticket at https://help.hotschedules.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
