Ratings and reviews

corporate head office pushed this hard on my workplace. Schedules were *only* sent out using makeshift. I can't recommend this approach. Less than a third of the employees have ever been able to login to makeshift, "problem with application, try again later", changes to the schedule do not sync up between people's devices, managers do not receive time-off requests, and trying to communicate within the app is so unreliable that it's pointless. It's been a half year and nothing has been fixed.

Not connected to network error. The app worked the last two years but this year it cannot tell I am connected to a network. I cannot clock in or out. I am on a galaxy note 5. Update. It started working. Most bizarre. I blame the older phone at this point. I find it a useful program from the employee perspective.

There's no way to show when you're not available for work. It's great for letting your supervisors share flexible schedules, create and change them. Workers can let their supervisors know what days are times that are available, but there's no simple way to do the reverse. In other words you you can't at the tap of a button show that you're not available at certain days. I think this is a simple and stupid oversight.
