Ratings and reviews

App is easy to use and very helpful in allowing me to quickly see my schedule as well as that of the rest of the team. It appears making schedule requests has also been improved for making schedule requests. Only complaint is that when the app is opened it defaults to showing the schedule on the 1st day of the month rather than that days date which can cause confusion if you are not paying close attention.

Wish I didn't have to enter username and password every time. Enable biometric access? Use of a short PIN? Seriously my financial accounts apps that could mess with my life's savings are easier to get into (for me, their intended user) than this app. Wellness survey is a waste of space for end user given it's prominence. App somewhat unintuitive.

No matter if it's the app on my phone or the app on the KP laptop this is the most finicky program I have ever worked with. Crashes multiple times prior to finally accepting the command, slow to load and have to start over from the beginning with every crash. TORT was so much better and built by the employer and the employees wish we could go back to it for time off needs.

What's new

We have added functionality to show supervisors as well as Anesthesia Providers who are assigned to cases. We have also fixed a bug where scheduled shifts coming from approved requests were not visible as valid exchange options. This has been corrected, and these scheduled shifts are now available.
