Ratings and reviews

App works just fine. However, when used to punch out of a shift, there is no way to exit the app without being directed to Google Play, to look at and download another of their apps. So basically every single time I work, I'm forced to go over and look at an app that I don't want. I have no desire for the other app, and I'm tired of perpetually having to go there, rather than just close down 7punches at the end of my shift.

It's good but a while ago it changed so that I now have to log in everytime I use the app. (The problem does not occur with 7 Shifts). I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling both 7 Shifts & 7 Punches but that did not solve the problem. I'm not the only person at work who has tbis problem. My manager has looked into it but can see no problems.

Every time I open the app I'm welcomed with a screen that tells me I'm not authorized. I log in, punch in, close the ap, then when I reopen the ap, I've been logged out and it tells me again that I'm not authorized. I have to do this at least twice a day every day that I work. I've cleared the data and cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the ap. Nothing fixes it.
