### "Works perfectly but could use some tweaks"

May 5, 2025

4.0

Love it! BuddyPunch has been a huge tool in simplifying payroll and time tracking.

Pros

The ease of use for my staff and how simple it was to onboard the team. Our staff use to submit manual paper time cards, so they loved the switch to a simple digital system.

Cons

Variant hourly pay rates didn't seem to work correctly as the currency subtotals did not add up correctly or display in some cases. Also, it would be nice to be able to see subtotal of hours based on category.

Switched from

[QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/)

QuickBooks time is extremely confusing for our staff and difficult to implement variant pay rates.

So thrilled to hear that Buddy Punch simplified time tracking for you and your team, and that the onboarding experience was smooth and easy. It's great to know your staff appreciates the transition from manual to digital time tracking. We also appreciate your feedback on pay rates and subtotals based on category. Regarding this feedback, pay rates can be tricky at times but we're confident in the system's accuracy so we'd love to go over your pay rates with you to pinpoint any confusion and address any issues. Also, regarding pay rate visibility, typically, when a pay rate is not shown, this has to do with the effective date of the pay rate so this would be wise to double-check. Furthermore, we have Job Codes, which are labels for time. You create them, assign them to employees, and then employees can punch in and out of them creating subtotals based on category you mentioned. For more help, please reach out via chat or email support@buddypunch.com—we’re always happy to assist!

Pros

Has an app, website, and is easy for the staff

Cons

It's not easy to use for the admin side of things, you cannot take to a person. Administrators cannot punch in/out which limits who can be in a small company.

It was a great switch for us. It's easier to use and track people's in/out and leaves. The picture during in/out can also be a way of fun if you use it to your advantage.

I don't have anything I don't like about Buddy Punch so far. Everything is smooth sailing from the day we started using it.

### "A User Friendly Time Tracking Tool"

May 22, 2025

5.0

From the first time we used it after we switch from the previous time time tracking tool, we had no minor or major issues that we encounter. Everything is smoothly running.

Pros

As a user, Buddy Punch is a user friendly tool for time tracking and attendance management. This is their best feature.

Cons

There is nothing I don't like about this tool as of this writing. The tool is pretty straight forward.

### "Quick & Easy Punch"

May 22, 2025

Generally a very good experience. It's quick and easy overall, however, I don't think I'm using it to it's maximum capacity.

Pros

Ease of use, simplicity of layout, navigation. The report capabilities for management, ability to manage, edit inputs from managements perspective.

Cons

The navigation of punches and the user experience. There is no 'lunch' button, only a 'break' button .

5.0

It's user friendly and easy to access, use and no hassle. Just a note: I am using my personal email below for this survey, I use buddy punch system under my work address.

I work remotely so time is crucial when logging in is quick and not delaying connection. I appreciate the readiness of the platform to start logging punch in time.

Cons

### "Simple, Reliable, and Effective Time Tracking with Buddy Punch"

January 30, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Buddy Punch has been positive. It’s reliable, easy to navigate, and has made time tracking and payroll much more efficient. While there are a few limitations with advanced features and reporting customization, the system performs well day to day and helps streamline workforce management with minimal hassle.

Pros

What I liked most about Buddy Punch was how simple and user-friendly it is. The platform makes clocking in and out easy for employees while giving managers clear, accurate time-tracking data in one place. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, which saves time when reviewing hours or preparing payroll. I also appreciated the mobile app and GPS/photo features, which add accountability without making the process feel complicated. Overall, Buddy Punch helped streamline scheduling and payroll while reducing errors and confusion.

Cons

One downside of Buddy Punch is that some advanced features are lockeds which can be limiting for smaller organizations. Occasional mobile app glitches and syncing delays can also be frustrating, especially for staff in the field. The reporting tools, while useful, could offer more customization, and integrations with certain payroll systems are somewhat limited.

Our team is always working to make Buddy Punch more reliable, flexible, and scalable for organizations of all sizes, and we’ll be sure to share your notes with our Product Team. Thanks again for choosing Buddy Punch and if you ever want to talk through your workflow, our Support Team is here and happy to help!

### "Buddy Punch - Review"

April 28, 2025

It has been good, I have worked with other tools and this has been the best one, non invasive and great to work with

Pros

How easy it as to log in and track time, other browser or app tools are not like that, track time that shouldnt be tracked or have more issues, not YOU

Cons

Sometimes when I clock out via browser the tool can be very slow, sometimes it does not fully clock me out

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that Buddy Punch has been easy and non-invasive for you to use, and we appreciate you recognizing the difference compared to other tools you’ve tried. Regarding your feedback about clocking out via the browser, it is important that you stay on the punch screen long enough for the punch to register and that you see your punch status change. If you navigate away before the punch registers, it won't be recorded. That being said, if punching out via the browser continues to have any difficulties, please reach out to us via live chat or email support@buddypunch.com and we'll be happy to further investigate with you! Thanks again for trusting Buddy Punch—we’re so glad to have you with us!

I love it because I can clock in and clock out from anywhere. I don't have to be in the office, and I can also see my timecard at any time.

Pros

I can use the mobile and the web. It's easy to track my time in and out of the office. I can clock in from anywhere.

Cons

The mobile app is sometimes a little slow, depending on the area I am in, which makes it a little hard to use, but overall, it's great.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear Buddy Punch makes it easy to clock in/out from anywhere and that viewing your timecard on both web and mobile is helpful for you.

A few quick tips that can help when things feel sluggish: -Ensure you’re on the latest version of the app -Try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular to see which is stronger -Close other apps running in the background and restart device -Log out/in to refresh your session. If you run into repeated slowdowns, please reach out through live chat or email to support@buddypunch.com with your device model, OS version, and approximate time/location of the issue—our team will dig in right away!

Overall, Buddy Punch has been an amazing platform. Its simple to use and makes it such a smooth process to keep track of logs.

Pros

Buddy Punch has many pros to it and the one that really stands out to me is how simple it is to keep track of schedule/hours.

Cons

Buddy Punch has a small con which is the fact that it logs out a user after a couple of minutes. Other than that not much to complain about.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Buddy Punch! We’re thrilled to hear that you find it simple to track schedules and hours, and that the platform has helped make managing logs a smooth process for you. We also appreciate you mentioning you feedback regarding the automatic log-off. Buddy Punch may log users out after a period of inactivity as a built-in security feature. This helps protect sensitive data and prevents unauthorized access if a device is left unattended. That said, we understand it can feel like an interruption at times, and your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue to refine the user experience. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review and for being part of the Buddy Punch community! If you ever have questions or need support, we’re here to help.

### "it's fine for managers who don't trust staff to work"

September 17, 2025

4.0

it's a good way for micromanagers to micromanage, however it does not account for the time spent trying to log in to punch in or punch out and now HR has us punch out to the the minute so even if we are in the building and talking to clients or staff in the building we are no longer getting paid as the punch out minutes are not rounded to nearest 15. so we have to sit and start at the minute hand to get our full time in.

Pros

now we autolmatically get over time instead of asking the boss for overtime because if we're stuck at work and we don't sign out we just automatically start acruing overtime. no more working from home for free

Cons

HR is now in control of our time and approves all final time stamps including being able to turn on and off geo fence and GPS tracking and changing our times

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

September 18, 2025

Thanks for the thoughtful review and we’re glad the automatic overtime is helping prevent those “stuck at work” moments from turning into unpaid time. A quick note on the rest: settings like GPS/geofencing, approvals, punch rounding, and how you clock in/out are all chosen by your employer/account administrator. If any of those policies don’t match how your team works, we’d encourage you to share that feedback with your management for further discussion. If it’s helpful, your admin can loop us in and we’ll gladly walk them through options to best fit your workflow. Thanks again for using Buddy Punch!

We are very satisfied with Buddy Punch and I can unequivocally endorse Buddy Punch for accuracy, ease of use, and helpful people.

Pros

I have been working with payroll time keeping systems for over 35 years. Buddy Punch is intuitive for users and it produces usable reports. At my present company, we've found the paid time off feature to be especially helpful. And, biggest plus for me is that the Buddy Punch team has been very easy to work with and most accommodating.

Cons

I have yet to encounter an issue that doesn't have an easy resolution. If there was one thing I'd change it would be to provide a custom report writer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Buddy Punch! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve found the app easy to use and helpful for viewing paychecks and tracking hours—those are exactly the kinds of wins we hope to deliver for our users. We also appreciate you flagging the issue with still being punched in upon returning to work. One important thing to keep in mind is that after punching in or out, it's essential to stay on the punch screen long enough for the punch to fully register and to visually confirm that your punch status has changed. If you navigate away before the punch goes through, it may not be recorded. To help us look into this more closely moving forward, would you mind checking your punch status after clocking in or out and taking a quick screenshot for reference? If the issue continues, having that screenshot will allow our team to better troubleshoot and get to the bottom of it. Thanks for being a part of the Buddy Punch community!

Thanks so much for your kind review! I’m glad Buddy Punch makes it easy to check your hours, review before payroll, and see break time and past time cards. That’s exactly what we hope for. About the the behavior you’re seeing regarding breaks, please note that breaks/lunches are controlled by your employer in Buddy Punch. If it’s causing confusion, your administrator may be able to adjust those settings or clarify the rule—and we’re also happy to help them fine-tune things so it fits how your team works. If anything ever lands in the wrong category, your manager or administrator can correct the time card. And if you’d like, we can provide them a quick walkthrough or best-practice recommendations—just have them reach us via live chat or email us at support@buddypunch.com Appreciate you sharing your experience with Buddy Punch!

Nothing, compared to other clock in/out systems this is the easiest one to use by far, there's nothing difficult at all with this system

### "Buddy Punch For The Win"

I definitely recommend Buddy Punch. I like that it is user friendly. The Ap works great for the most part aside from the odd time it doesn't log me out.

Pros

I appreciate that I can edit my time and make notes which is helpful if the app doesn't log me out when I click log out.

Cons

Sometimes it doesn't fully log me out and I have to go in a change my log out time which can be frustrating especially if I don't remember my exact time of leaving work as my schedule is flexible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying Buddy Punch and finding value in features like editable time and note-taking—especially with a flexible schedule like yours. We also appreciate you flagging your occasional issue with logging out. It's important to stay on the punch screen long enough for the punch to register and that you see your punch status change. If you navigate away before the punch registers, it won't be recorded. If you do continue to have trouble with punching out or otherwise, please reach out via live chat or email us at support@buddypunch.com and we'll be happy to further assist you. Thanks again for your recommendations and kind words. We're so grateful to have you on board with Buddy Punch!

Thanks so much for the kind words and recommendation—we’re glad Buddy Punch makes it easy to track your hours each week! Regarding your punches not always being saved, please note that it's important that employees stay on the punch screen long enough for the punch to register and that you see your punch status change. If you navigate away before the punch registers, it won't be recorded. With this in mind, if you continue to have any issues, please reach out via live chat or email us at support@buddypunch.com so we can further troubleshoot together. Thanks again for using Buddy Punch!

### "Punch Buddy"

It's been amazing for my contract workers. I no longer have to keep track of their timesheet with paper. Very sufficient.

Pros

It's very user friendly. Makes my job a lot easier. I used to have to keep track of all of my contract employees with time being written on paper. Now I actually see what they clock in and out. No more honor system.

Cons

Haven't really found in downsize to the app. I only use it to approve time for my contract workers. But so far so good. :-)

Excellent service. I can now run payroll in 5 minutes. Tax filings are done for me, and my managers are happy.

Pros

ease of processing payroll. I can run payroll in 5 minutes and management loves being able to see where everyone is while out in the field.

Cons

Unable to have two different pay schedules requiring an off cycle payroll every pay period for my salaried employees.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Buddy Punch has made payroll easier, that you’re able to run payroll in just a few minutes, and that the added visibility for managers has been helpful, especially with employees out in the field. We also really appreciate you calling out the challenge with not being able to run two different pay schedules without an off-cycle payroll for your salaried team. Feedback like this is important as we continue to improve our payroll capabilities and prioritize future enhancements. If you’re open to it, we’d love to review your setup and see whether there are any workflow adjustments or options that could reduce the extra steps you’re taking today. Thank you again for being a Buddy Punch customer!
