### "Very efficient for scheduling in standard environment"

April 18, 2026

4.0

Pros

What I liked most about When I Work is how much time it saves on scheduling and coordination. In practice, instead of managing shifts through Excel or emails, everything is centralized: schedules, availability, and communication. For example, the ability for employees to swap shifts directly in the app and for managers to validate quickly significantly reduces operational friction and improves efficiency.

Cons

What I liked least about When I Work is that it can feel limited when you need more advanced features or deeper customization. For example, reporting and integrations are not as developed as in more complex systems, which can be a constraint in structured environments. Also, notifications can sometimes become overwhelming or missed depending on usage.

### "Great for varied availability employees"

April 23, 2026

5.0

I use it to schedule two businesses, mostly part time staff on a weekly basis and I also use it for our timesheet for payroll.

Pros

Ease of getting a weekly schedule out to 20-50 part time employees on a regular basis. I like that it has a time clock option which I didn't use at the last business I was at that used this system. It was a savior when my business changed point of sale platforms that no longer had a timesheet option.

Cons

Some setting restricting when staff can change their availability, and RO. How notifications or "confirm shift" can be overlooked by staff.

### "Wasnt fit for the job I needed"

December 26, 2025

3.0

Overall my experience with the application was fair, but I would not recommend the application to other customers

Pros

When I works mobile app graphical user interface is user friendly, with easy log-in access and to view how much I was getting paid each period.

Cons

There were some frustrating technical issues when the application tried to capture my location using celular data, neglecting the main purpose of the application to manage my job.

### "Great idea but needs work "

May 24, 2026

4.0

It’s a great concept, the app did freeze and sometimes not update information entered for the day. This made it unpredictable to use for scheduling shifts and communication between staff.

Pros

The best part of the app is that employees can switch schedules without having to go through the manager, wait for responses, etc. we used it in a chain salon I work in and it was easier than paper schedules and a photo. The when I work app allows you to modify or make requests for schedule change and everyone can see it and respond. Great for small teams.

Cons

The app glitches and became unusable at some point. Unfortunately, it would not always show the most recently updated responses or schedule and as a result it became unreliable. In addition, it was very different on android phones vs iPhones and not everyone had the same view of the schedules.

### "Positive overall, not cheap and not perfect"

April 29, 2026

4.0

Overall positive experience with When I Work, some new features over time but mostly for premium subscriptions or third party sales. It would be nice if small bug would be fixed like the precision of the drag and drop which is sometimes impossible to align with a specific time like 1PM if the move is less than 30 mintues.

Pros

The drag and drop, while not perfect works most of the time. The interface is modern and easy to work with.

Cons

The steep price increase if you need 2 locations. Doubling the price per account double the burden on a small company.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing When I Work

Only for the drag and drop feature, that's all.

### "Best timeclock and payroll system out there"

October 29, 2025

5.0

Love it! We all grasped it fairly quickly as it is super easy to use. The cost fits right into anyone budget. Our staff can utilize it from anywhere!

Pros

When I work is so easy to use. Doing payroll and agents asking for time off is incredibly easy! Managing our agents and their absences is a breeze! Its user friendly and every can easily access it from their desk top or their phones!

Cons

Nothing! Truly the easiest and fastest time clock system there is! No messy reports and no long wait times for time off approvals

February 27, 2026

5.0

Works great I have no issues with this app my crew see the schedule as soon as I post it and the work chat gives us time to message for open shifts

Pros

The when I work app works great I like it because I can do my crew schedule anytime from home that way I don't have to go al the way to my store

Cons

Only this is like to leave nots in individual crew members schedule in stead of at the bottom this would b a great help

### "A very good tool "

July 28, 2025

5.0

It was a very good experience, it is very easy to use and never experienced any inconvenience with this tool.

Pros

We used this tool to organize all the assignments we had to complete at work. It helped us identify which tasks needed to be done or prioritized, and we could easily see any changes or updates to our schedules just by refreshing the page. It was also really useful for checking coworkers’ availability and seeing if they were off or on holiday.

Cons

There’s nothing I dislike since I was an user for the application. It worked perfectly and never had any issue.

### "Best Work App!"

October 29, 2025

My experience was very pleasant! I utilize When I Work for my job to this day and absolutely love it!

Pros

How organized and easy the interface of the app is to use! There’s many functions that allow me to stay organized for work, especially my shifts!

Cons

Personalization of color choices for the aesthetic of the app itself would be a nice touch! Other than that I really don’t have anything negative to say about When I Work.

### "Best tool for employee mangement"

April 3, 2025

5.0

very positive, it saves me hours on payroll, scheduling, and time attendance.

Pros

Creating a schedule for 20+ people can be done in minutes, easily customizable. the best option to move up from Excel which we were using beforehand.

Cons

the post-shift adjustments can be more manageable. for large groups of employees difficult to compare what was scheduled vs what was worked at a glance. reports can be labeled a bit better

Alternatives considered

### "Reliable and User Friendly Scheduling Tool"

January 10, 2026

4.0

Overall, my experience with When I Work was positive. We used it for several years and found it dependable and easy to navigate. I have also used When I Work at another job from the employee side, where it was used for clocking in and tracking time. At my most recent workplace, it was used mainly for schedules. The flexibility, affordability, and ease of use made it a good fit for our needs.

Pros

When I Work was very user friendly and reliable. We mainly used it for scheduling and the chat feature. The chat option was convenient because staff could message with questions about their schedules or notify management if they needed to call off. The pricing was reasonable, which is why we continued using it for about four years. It consistently did what it was supposed to do without any issues.

Cons

We did not fully utilize all of the features available. At this job, we primarily used it for scheduling and communication, so other tools were not used. This was more about our usage than a limitation of the platform itself.

### "When I Work is Awesome!"

April 23, 2026

5.0

I love When I Work. I use it professionally as a scheduler of a Nursing team, as well as on the other side of the spectrum as a contractor with a marketing agency. I get to see the best of both worlds!

Pros

Value for Money: Unbeatable. It packs the features of five apps into one price point. Ease of Use: Very user-friendly! even my newest hires can coordinate it right off the bat! Time Tracking: Excellent native tracking with billable hours—no extra plugins needed. Team Collaboration: Top-tier. The Bottom Line: Best for teams that want to centralize everything and don't mind a few minutes of "learning the ropes."

Cons

I would like there to be a way to "not approve" requested hours in the "open shift requests". Currently, there is no way to remove them from there unless they are approved.

### "Nurse Educator Perspective"

December 16, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience has been very positive. When I Work is a straightforward, dependable scheduling tool that improves communication and reduces administrative burden.

Pros

As a nurse educator, I value how easy and reliable When I Work is to use. Staff can quickly see schedules, which allows me to plan ahead knowing which staff are working which days.

Cons

I wish there was the ability to select a specific employee and see only their schedule on the mobile app. To my knowledge, this function is only available on the web version.

April 27, 2026

I really liked When I work. You could sort by alpha and by shifts. Not to complicated to navigate.

Pros

It was easy to use and sorting shifts was easy to do. staff could be sorted by shift or alphabetical by last name.

Cons

often the drop shift/shift swap was confusing as to where they were located in the app. Especially if you didn't do it all the time.

### "Fantastic scheduling and time-tracking tool for single and multiple location workplaces."

April 23, 2026

5.0

Awesome! This is a fantastic and affordable scheduling and time-tracking tool for single and multiple location workplaces.

Pros

When I Work is a great tool for schedule creation and hour tracking. It also has a feature that allows staff who are working at off-site locations to clock in and out based on where they are physically located -- so a team member has to be at a certain location to report that they are starting work. It's also great for team members to be able to see their schedule in advance, and keeps a record of when they worked at their fingertips. Also, the pricing is AMAZING. You pay by the month based on the number of staff. It's super flexible up and down.

Cons

I do wish there were a way to tag some classes of employees as "must clock in/out" and others can be excused.

### "Atlanta, GA business"

March 21, 2026

4.0

I'm 30 days in using it and it only took about 3 days to get really used to it. Can't complain too muhc

Pros

Ease of use, team communication and time tracking (with the exception of lunch breaks not added in). I also like being able to color code it. Lastly, my employees requesting time off for entire or part time throughout the day is easy.

Cons

It doesn't factor in a lunch break. Most states require 30 minutes for more than 6 hours so just automatically factoring that in regardless if that actually clock out. 8 hours maybe 1 hour. Since that's normal. I don't schedule over 6 hours at this time so I haven't played with the lunch breaks. I'm sure it's simple to add just haven't looked into it.

Very positive experience with the app as opposed to the old way we would do things. Much less time management needed

Pros

April 12, 2026

4.0

Good tool for a small company with only 1 location as long as the range of features meets your needs out of the box.

Pros

Biggest pro is that the app is usable via mobile devices so that employees can swap shifts at any time of day. They don’t need to be at work to see the available shifts.

Cons

Limited range of features. There’s no option to add custom fields for industry specific needs and tasks.

August 26, 2025

4.0

When I Work has made it easier for management to schedule employees, and for those employees to communicate their schedule needs, upcoming conflicts, etc.

Pros

When I Work is intuitive enough that everyone on our team, regardless of tech savvy or how they access it, can easily understand what there is to do.

Cons

Different users have reported running into different bugs. For instance, an overall weekly schedule displayed fine for one user, with the exception of one day (one where they were scheduled to work), where their app displayed "no shifts today".

### "Great for a quick and easy timesheet tracking"

June 25, 2025

4.0

Overall I've been happy with When I Work and the functionality of it. With the plan that we have there are some limitations but it gets the job done.

Pros

I like how quickly you can edit information in the platform and quickly pull timesheet data. I also like the ability to quickly approve or deny time off.

Cons

I wish the reports were able to go farther back in time to review historical data. If I don't save the data somewhere I can't go back and review at a later time.

Hi Zach, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with When I Work! We’re thrilled to hear that you find it easy to edit information, review timesheets, and manage time off quickly. It's great to know those features are helping your day run more smoothly. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the reporting limitations. You're absolutely right, access to historical data can be incredibly valuable, and we understand how frustrating it can be if it's not readily available when you need it. I’d love to pass this along to our product team as feedback. Enhancements to reporting and historical visibility are something we’re always exploring. We’re glad to hear the platform has been meeting your needs overall, and we truly value having you with us. If you ever have questions about plan options or would like help finding workarounds, we’re always here to help. Thanks again for your thoughtful review! Warm regards, Dawn

It’s been nice seeing our team collaborate and swap shifts without needing us in the middle and it’s assisted with ensuring proper hours for payroll

Pros

It’s easy to see and identify who is scheduled and when as well as tracking hours and managing employees.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for leaving us a review! It is excellent to hear that When I Work has helped make shift coverage more efficient for your team. I understand that being able to correct mistakes on a schedule is important. You can view the shift history on each shift by selecting "edit," providing greater visibility for when and by whom changes were made.

### "Happy with the system"

October 29, 2025

4.0

Overall, we are happy with the product. I would encourage most organizations to use a similar system

Pros

It makes scheduling a large number of people less onerous, transparent and takes the pressure off my team

Cons

Its a lille clunky to set up. Specifically trying to differentiate between inperson and phone shifts was challenging

### "Great software!"

June 6, 2025

5.0

Overall, I had a great experience with when I work. My team loves it. I love it. And we’re able to make sure that we’re fully staffed at all times

Pros

I’m able to schedule a year in advance. I also like that. If someone requests time off, it’s automatically sent to the people available to pick up the shift.

Cons

The app is not as easy to customize the schedules as much as it is online. Which is not really that big of a deal, but when I was initially getting it set up. I did have a hard time doing it within the app

### "Office Manager"

October 29, 2025

5.0

I have been using When I Work for over 8 years. I introduced it as my current job, so I'm very familiar with being a user as well as being the admin.

Pros

How easy it is to schedule my staff and complete weekly payroll. It's also helpful that When I Work integrates with ADP, which cuts running payroll down by more than half the time, making it well worth the price!

Cons

I would like the opportunity to duplicate a shift or create a shift template based on a shift already posted.
