it was a very good experience using buddy punch

Pros

What I like most about Buddy Punch is how user-friendly and efficient the platform is. It simplifies employee time tracking with features like seamless clock-in/out, easy scheduling, and quick payroll integration. The interface is intuitive, making it easy for both employees and managers to navigate. Additionally, the mobile app is incredibly convenient, allowing employees to track time and request time off from anywhere. The ability to customize settings based on company needs is also a major plus. Overall, Buddy Punch has greatly improved our time management and payroll processes, saving both time and effort.

### "Buddy Punch for the win"

November 24, 2025

4.0

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!

### "I like using Buddy Punch"

January 15, 2025

5.0

This is the first time I have used this type of recording of our hours worked. I like that you can see everything. I also like I have the app and can look at it any time.

Pros

I can see my time card and I can see the schedule for the week.

Cons

I don't like the way they record the minutes. I would prefer that it just show minutes as opposed to partial hours.

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

January 16, 2025

So glad you're liking Buddy Punch to check your time card and schedule for the week! Thank you for the feedback on how we display time. The decimal format is used throughout our system. The number before the decimal represents hours worked; the number after the decimal is minutes. To get the minutes in actual minutes as opposed to decimals, you can take that number after the decimal and multiply it by 60. That being said, I've recorded your feedback on our Feature Request List for the review of our Development Team. Thanks again for the great feedback!

### "Buddy Punch is awesome!!"

March 12, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been positive. I enjoy that I can punch in and out from my phone once I walk into school. It makes it convenient when I'm in a rush. I also find that being able to request time off is extremely easy and I can edit and give notes to why I need off. I also can see how many hours I have left and my hours for the week. Buddy Punch is definitely an easy app to use and have.

Pros

I like being able to punch in and out from my phone, make changes to my punch times if needed, and request days and time off on my own.

Cons

I actually really enjoy it, so I have no cons about Buddy Punch!

### "Buddy Punch is great!"

March 18, 2025

4.0

The overall experience has been great and is really assisting our company to record our work times as evidence for supporting our client.

Pros

The fact that it is so user-friendly for set-up and use!

Cons

The fact that it measure time in decimals and not in hours and minutes.

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

March 25, 2025

So glad you're finding Buddy Punch so user-friendly! We pride ourselves on our ease of use, which we continually work on improving. Regarding the decimal format, the three-decimal setup is used throughout the system, however, what many customers will do is export information via Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets, and then update the decimal points from there. Additionally, the number before the decimal represents hours worked; the number after the decimal is minutes. To get the minutes in actual minutes as opposed to decimals, you can take that number after the decimal and multiply it by 60. Finally, you could also run the Payroll Export, Time Card, or Employee Detail reports. These reports include time in both decimal and hours/minutes formats. Should you require assistance or have questions, we're always just a message away and respond to every inquiry! Please live chat in or email support@buddypunch.com and we'll be happy to help you.

February 26, 2025

5.0

I overall like it I’ve had a pleasant experience

Pros

The easy ability to manage and navigate thru the application

Cons

That sometimes it doesn’t clock me in and I have to edit my time

Review Source

Response from Buddy Punch

February 27, 2025

So happy to hear you're pleasantly experiencing the quintessential Buddy Punch quality of ease-of-use! Regarding not getting clocked in sometimes, it's 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 you're encountering any trouble or have any further concerns or questions, please live chat with us or email support@buddypunch.com any time. We happily respond to every inquiry!

I absolutely love this app. Not having to use all those papers anymore really is a game changer. I’m so glad I switched.

Pros

This is a very convenient way to keep track of time. Even if you forget to punch in or out you are able to edit your time and fix it.

Cons

The startup process was a little confusing. You have to play around with it a little but once you get it it’s worth it.

### "ACTING PROGRAM Manager"

October 1, 2024

5.0

10 being excellent and 1 being poor. I would give a 9.0. Almost there on a scale of 1 to 10.

Pros

Easy to access on my mobile, laptop and PC. HIGHLY convenient and effective.

Cons

When it is time to print out my staff time sheets is a minute problem and ineffective. I like to save paper and time. One staff may have one side of the time sheet because of less punches than another staff has two pages. I have more than 21 staff. Literally, i have to pause and customized my printing pages 5 to 6 times, so I don't print a staff time sheets on a back of another staff's one page timesheet.

### "Good app. More user friendly"

January 4, 2025

3.0

It was a good experience, it does what it should, but comparing it to other systems I’ve used before it’s lacking some features.

Pros

I really liked that the app was very to the point, meaning you didn’t have to make many clicks to understand its features.

Cons

I believe it does need a tad bit more personalization items, making the app a tad bit more pleasant to the eye would be a plus.

### "Know your hours"

August 30, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with Buddy Punch has been positive, especially in terms of tracking hours worked. The platform is user-friendly and offers a reliable way to monitor and manage employee time. The time cards and editable punch times feature is particularly useful for ensuring accuracy and flexibility in recording work hours.

Pros

One of the standout features of Buddy Punch is its time cards and editable punch times. This functionality allows users to easily track and manage work hours, make necessary adjustments, and ensure accurate payroll processing. The flexibility to edit punch times helps in correcting any errors and maintaining precise records.

Cons

One of the downsides of Buddy Punch is the excessive email notifications. Users often find the constant stream of emails overwhelming, especially when it comes to notifications for every punch in and out, shift changes, and other updates.

### "My Buddy Punch"

August 2, 2024

4.0

I can say that except for that aspect previously described, my overall experience with Buddy Punch has been pretty good, it's a practical and a great office tool, I'm a remote worker for my company so it really helps keep track of my working time. And I like its name, too, by the way! It really sounds cool!

Pros

It's practical and friendly to use. It's also accurate and you can see your present week's hours in an easy way.

Cons

Something that needs to be improved , at least in my personal experience, it's that it frequently throws an error message and does not allow to punch in or do anything (just logging in and out) until an administrator fixes it. That has happened to me several times in 3 months that I have been using it, without changing PC nor moving to a different work space which is why it might happen sometimes, but it was not my case.
