### "I really like buddy punch "

August 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

The fact that it manages to keep track of how long I've been at work and it is very easy to punch in and out. No passwords, no numbers, just a simply punch in/punch out, while the computer remembers how long I've been at work.

Cons

The fact that it is difficult to recover a password to get into my account. I remember when I was unable to clock out at work so I had to clock out at home, but it was really difficult since I didn't remember my password.

Hello Aaron, thanks for the review! It's great to hear that we've been easy for you to use. We do have a password reset option directly on the login page. Your manager or administrator can also reset it if you're having any trouble. Thanks again!

### "This service has been wonderful for us!"

May 17, 2017

5.0

It keeps track of the hours for you, freeing up more time to attend to other business needs.

Pros

Buddy Punch is easy to use, and takes the hassle out of keeping track of hours worked. Before we used this software, we were using a spreadsheet and it was a mess!

Cons

We wish that the fee was per employee. We only have one contracted person to keep track of. Five to ten dollars per employee would be adequate. Similar to the fee other business services charge per month.

Thank you for your review Shannon, I'm glad that Buddy Punch is taking the hassle out of time tracking. In regards to pricing our current tier of 9 or less employees is our lowest plan. We will definitely consider plans for a single employee in future updates.

### "BuddyPunch User Review"

February 26, 2019

5.0

I like the ability to edit my own punches and then my manager can simply approve them.

Pros

Ease of use and editing punches. Accurate time keeping.

Cons

None so far. Works great. The last timekeeper another company I worked for used was not near as easy to edit punches like Buddy Punch.

### "We only have a few employees and this is the best way I have found to keep up with their time."

May 16, 2017

5.0

Ease of tracking employee time.

Pros

This software is extremely user-friendly. Signing up is quick and effortless. When pay periods are up, they let you know the reports are ready. And any time I needed customer service, they responded right away.

Cons

I would like to see an area where we can track their vacation days, sick days, etc. but when I asked customer service about it, they said that is being developed.

Response from Buddy Punch

May 18, 2017

Thank you Beth for the review. I'm glad that you found setup and user very user friendly! In regards to the tracking vacation days we have just released that feature which we are calling PTO Accruals. You can now create categories, add time to them, and employees can log time against it.

February 28, 2017

4.0

Setup was very easy. The reporting is spot on. I like the fact how I was able to quickly understand where everything was and how it was linked. It has a great smart phone app that ll of my techs use. It was easy to fix the time issues made by bad punches done by employees.

Pros

Ease of use

Cons

modifying a few features like the pay periods

Response from Buddy Punch

Thank you for the review Bill. I'm glad that you found Buddy Punch intuitive to use and that your techs like our smartphone apps. Our apps are fully featured just like our web application, including the ability to fix any errors by your employees. In regards to the pay period updating, we do require that you contact us for pay period changes but we are working on a self service option for those changes. Thanks again for your business, we appreciate it!

### "So far so good. No problems thus far but I have not used it for very long. I enjoy the ease of use."

June 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

How simple it is to use and has the option to clock in anywhere. It does have an app which is great too and allows for easy use. The simplicity is nice.

Cons

Maybe it's just me, but sometimes when I try to clock in it doesn't register. It could have been the internet connection as well so I don't want to say it was buddypunch's fault.

Hello Sandy, thank you for the review! I'm glad you are finding us simple and easy to use. When you're punching in you'll get a message that says "please wait" while your punch is being saved. Your screen will then display your new status, such as punched in or out. This will be your indicator that a punch has saved. Let us know if you need anything else, we are happy to help!

### "Easy mobile time punches"

September 22, 2020

5.0

Buddy Punch is an overall quick and cost effective timeclock system!

Pros

The facial recognition feature really adds a lot of security to the easy-to-use app. Quick and easy set up for mobile phones.

Cons

The only issue we've encountered is adding or editing times. If somebody forgets their punch it can cause some struggle

May 22, 2017

5.0

Easy to track employee hours/location and run payroll.

Pros

Very easy to use to track hours, create locations, and run payroll. Customer service is easy to reach and very responsive.

Cons

The map/GPS location seems to be off every once in a while, but overall it's a great feature. No other real cons. I'd like to see more reports!

Thank you for your review Vanessa. I'm glad we were able to provide great support and that Buddy Punch has made it easy for you to track hours.

I'm glad that Buddy Punch has made running payroll easy for you, we appreciate your business.

July 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

It quickly allows you to view all employee punches and correct them if needed. The software allows you to jump back and forth between pages in a very fast and efficient way. Great application overall!

Cons

The interface for viewing employee punches could be formatted to be easier to read. Perhaps using a higher contrast between line items so that it's easier on the eyes to jump between dates when going thru the various punches.

December 10, 2016

Switching to Buddy Punch has saved me tons of time. My business is in California and I was manually trying to calculate overtime. What a pain! I switched to Buddy Punch and now just print my payroll report with hours and overtime already calculated for me. Super Simple. The Customer Service team has also been very helpful and quickly responded when I had questions.

Pros

Easy to use and set up, accurate calculations and great customer service

Cons

none so far

### "User friendly time tracking with geofence/GPS accountability "

November 29, 2021

5.0

BP has been extremely accessible for customer service and have been open to suggestions for improvements/additional services. They have steadily grown over the last several years, offering more and more helpful services and integration with other programs. BP was also extremely accommodating during Covid shutdowns, allowing us to freeze our account in good faith that we would pick up where we left off as soon as we were able.

Pros

Very easy for employees and administrators alike to track time and edit if necessary. Provides accountability for our employees with the location settings such as GPS/Geofence. Provides a variety of reports that are helpful. Provides our employees with mobility--we can send them to any job site, and they have the ability to punch in/out.

Cons

Would like a report that provides a daily snapshot, chronologically, of who punched in/out and at what time. If this exact report exists, I have not been able to find it.

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

It was more cost effective and much easier to contact for help.

### "Intuitive and Easy"

March 22, 2019

5.0

Overall, it's one of the easiest ways I've ever had to punch in and out.

Pros

I really like how easy to use the website and app interfaces are. It very user-friendly and intuitive.

Cons

In the mobile app, seeing your past time cards / punches isn't as intuitive. It took a little poking around. But honestly, it only took a couple minutes as the platform is really simple.

Keeps track of our employees hours and no need to use time cards or time clocks.

December 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

Ease of use and the price. Also, you can chat live if you are having issues and they are very helpful.

Cons

Emplyees can clock in with their phones. This is the one feature that I do not like. I feel employees should only clock in from the terminal / location where they are working.

December 15, 2017

Thank you Rita for your review, we appreciate it! I'm glad to hear you're finding us easy to use and that our live chat is helpful for any questions you have. Also, we do have a feature called IP Locks, which forces your employees to punch in and out from a specific IP address. This would make sure that your employees are not using their phones to punch in and out. Let us know if you have any other questions, thanks again!

April 28, 2016

I love Buddy Punch! I run a small dog walking company and have been using this software for about 2 months. All of my employees find it very easy to use. If they forget to clock in or out, they are able to manually enter a punch, which is emailed to me for approval. Since all of my employees work remotely, I love the GPS feature! The time cards are easy to read/understand and enter into payroll. I have reached out to customer service twice and they responded within the hour. I highly recommend Buddy Punch to any small business owner!

It's fine for its function.

Pros

The system is good for its purpose. With a password manager, the ease of use is adequate.

Cons

Too frequently applying the correct job description is unavailable, or feedback for the selection of the job is inconclusive.

Hello Michael, thanks for the review. I'm not sure if I understand your comments about notes and job selection, the job selection is always available when punching in and notes are also always available on punches. We're happy to help troubleshoot if you're running into any issues.

August 4, 2020

4.0

Pros

Buddy Punch is easy to use and edit. The way you can switch between different types of department codes makes it quicker than similar products I've used before.

Cons

Editing the time entries has proven to be quite difficult at the beginning. A short introduction to the different types of features of the software would make the onboarding process easier.
