### "Overall Great Software"

June 28, 2022

5.0

Overall very good.

Pros

This software seems to have all the tools for effective time management and whats best is the easy to read overview of your day.

Cons

My only negative is that this can take some time for managers to sort and they have to fully commit. I worry that the full features may never get used as they should.

Reason for choosing Float

I think float was chosen for its more detailed time management.

### "Minimal and polished UI, but not lacking in features"

July 30, 2020

5.0

Pros

As a developer it's easy to get sidetracked. That's why we have project managers and Float. Float helps me not only keep track of what I should be doing and when I should be doing it, but it also helps me keep track of what my colleagues are doing. Especially now, when working from home is the new normal, it's really easy to check if one of my colleagues is working and if they might have some time available for me. All that without having to add 20 filters and navigate a complex UI. Float has all the features in all the right places but still manages to keep a minimal looking UI.

Cons

There are only minor annoyances I have with Float (they're more like nitpicks anyways). A filter to hide projects that aren't being worked on in the current week/month would be nice. Also, there's a lot of freedom when assigning colours to a project. Maybe some predefined colour palettes would work better and stop our our schedule from looking like a lego brick wall ;)

Forecast had some weird UI issues on the schedule view. Cost might've also been a deciding factor

### "Excelent software"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

The setup was very simple, in a matter of minutes I was already up and running. The user experience is very straight-forward.a

Cons

I had some trouble with reports and scheduling while using large volumes of clients and projects.

### "Simple software doing it's job well"

January 17, 2019

3.0

It was good, but with changes to staff internally who had their own preferences to schedule management we weren't able to continue. Personally i thought it did the trick, just needed some minor improvements.

Pros

The simplicity and single-mindedness of it. It's a quick and easy tool to schedule and manage people's time and share that info with the wider group.

Cons

tricky to schedule short slots of time. Better for larger chunks or long-term projects I felt. Also a bit tricky scheduling work for new clients or pitches as you had to have those set up before creating blocks of time.

### "Simple and concise"

August 26, 2020

5.0

Really positive. Im not very good at organisation and having a tool that simplifies this makes my work days much easier.

Pros

As a pretty basic user of Float. It really suffices for all my needs of tracking when and which project I should be working on. The ease of planned working day to a day off is really great. Also, the functionality of simply dragging a block across the necessary days/weeks is really great!

Cons

Sometimes PM's book too many hours into the day - when on multiple projects with multiple PM's. Im not sure if they get a big red warning to say 'hey, I dont think this person wants to work a 16 hour day' but that could be helpful. Other than that, nothing to note.

Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for your review! There is a visual indicator (in red) that shows when a team member has been booked over capacity. If you have any feedback on this, please feel free to email support@float.com, we'd love to hear. Thanks again for the review! Cheers, Siobhan

### "Makes my job easier"

August 14, 2020

5.0

Great tool to see what myself and my team are working on, integrates well with budgets as well!

Pros

As a user I can clearly see all my tasks for the day without much communication with the project manager, especially now that we have to work from home.

Cons

Sometimes the calendar does not automatically update, so I have to refresh. This has caught me a couple of times because I thought I was doing something assigned to me when I shouldn't.

### "Great app"

June 15, 2022

5.0

We plan every week on Float for a small team of developers and it helps us keep on top of our projects.

Pros

Float allows me to visually schedule upcoming projects and easily manage employee leave.

Cons

Not a lot really, the commands to copy or delete items is a bit clunky sometimes in that you have to press it again to come out of it but other than that, it's great.

### "I start a new day with look at Float"

January 28, 2019

5.0

I am working as a frontend developer and I start a new day with look at float, so I know what to do. Tasks are added by PM's in my company and I know they like Float too. After all they decided to choose it as our work management app.

Pros

It's easy to use and very intuitive. Just one look and you know what you got to do each day.

Cons

Sometimes the zoom in / zoom out feature doestn't work well, but maybe it's just my device problem.

### "Float - Makes Scheduling So Much Easier"

February 14, 2020

4.0

Overall my experience has been positive. I've experienced just a few minor annoyances, but nothing to break my day down.

Pros

I like that you can easily search and pare down to locate the information you need. Visually it is very appealing and easy to maneuver through. This tool really helps to manage a large number of people's schedules and keep things organized.

Cons

I do and do not like the holiday feature. I appreciate that you can easily add holidays in different regions, but it's kind of difficult to customize for a large group. I also have a problem when I am working in Float - the "My projects" "Departments" drop down lingers and I constantly have to click in the search bar to type something to make it go away. Last feature I think could be enhanced - when making changes to an event - there should be a "are you sure" window that pops up to confirm that you do want to delete. I've mistakenly made changes before where I didn't mean to which caused some problems.

### "Easy to use tool"

August 14, 2020

5.0

I've had a good experience with Float and it's allowed us to easily view what we have scheduled and be able to bill our time to our clients effectively. It's quick and easy to use which is all we really need for this type of software.

Pros

It's easy to use and allows myself and the rest of the team I work with to effectively plan and organise our work load and be able to show our clients our availability for new projects.

Cons

It can be a little bit clunky to reorganise tasks once booked in and the reports can be a bit confusing to understand however I don't use it extensively enough to have any other element to dislike.

### "Float Blows Everything Else Out of The Water"

October 29, 2019

5.0

I use Float for all of my scheduling. It's easy to use, easy to access, and takes a lot of the complexity out of the task itself.

Pros

Float is a powerful, great looking calendar app. By far the most functional and useful I have come across. It's easy to use and leaves me with one less thing to think about in a given day.

Cons

Float has a lot going on, which is good, but it can be hard to find everything at times. It takes a little getting used to before you know where everything is and can really use it as intended.

### "Seamless experience!"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

The filtering feature is what I love most about float. Being able to distinguish between resource, projects and clients makes everyday as a PM a little easier.

Cons

The reporting feature could be a little more granular.

### "Keep my busy schedule in sync"

August 23, 2023

5.0

I have found that i can manage my hourly rate per client

Pros

Float allows you to track and log time for my many different projects. As a freelancer this makes it easy and helps move away from the spreasheets! Also love you can set each project hourly rate to manage monthly invoices.

Cons

The mobile is limited when coming to creating projects and has to be done via mobile

### "Float ; An useful software for an easy planning"

January 17, 2019

4.0

Team management has always been quite messy on our teams, and no overall was available with Notes calendar, so Float has been worshiped when we got it

Pros

Overall planning for teams, easy day-by-day task management, task categories, project / customer management, api to retrieve planning on other software (such as notes calendar)

Cons

Still quite difficult to manage 1/2 day task, no way to plan meeting easily

### "Float Review"

June 14, 2022

5.0

great for scheduling. pretty happy with everything

Pros

I like the range of colors we are able to use. easy to adjust timing per day and see total time for each project

Cons

I wish there was a way for my team members to see everyone elses schedule. I can see the full team, but each individual can only see their own.

### "Very quick and easy to use and log your time."

July 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

quick and easy to use the drag-down option to extend your logged time is really helpful and time saving.

Cons

an option to drag logged projects and times across sideway to different days would be great and time saving, or an option for a saved input to be selected if you repeat tasks.

### "Great idea, slightly wonky user interface"

June 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

I really like keeping my calendar organised and knowing what my tasks are for the day/week with just a glance at the Float application. I also enjoy being able to colour-code tasks.

Cons

I find it very difficult to navigate calendar views. That is trying to change visualizing just a week vs a month, etc. I always like to use a full month view to plan my month and I never seem to find where the button for that is.

### "Float is a gamechanger"

June 14, 2022

5.0

Overall, we feel that Float is a gamechanger that reduces the amount of effort to update and change the schedule for our team, and to accommodate different requirements at the same time (usability, dynamism and cost)

Pros

It is incredibly easy for user interface, whether it is for view or edit. I like the ability to have dynamic changes for resource management and the ability to associate different holidays with different groups.

Cons

It is challenging to show an overview when teams are larger.

### "Project Management & Scheduling Sorted"

January 18, 2021

5.0

It has been surprisingly easy to use. I have been able to clear up my time to do the actual work I need to. They are very clear on how to use their software which has been a pleasure to use.

Pros

I have just started using this software and already I have my workload sorted for myself. I came across it in one of my online searches and I can tell you that it is really making a difference. I have been able to schedule absolutely everything I need to do for the month and what's great is that I get an email reminding me of what's next to do. The support team has been great. They are there for you right from the start. Setting up projects and implementing them have been a breeze. There is an option to add your team members so they can see what needs to be done too. This really makes the saying "Team work is the dream work" come to life. There are so many features within this program that they really have thought of everything.

Cons

I honestly have found nothing I dislike about the software. Maybe that will change in time but to date, I don't think so.

### "Great app for coordinating our company!"

August 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

Our team uses this software to coordinate multiple aspects of our client's campaigns, assuring everything is happening on time. We are able to see how things are coordinating from a high level, and also focus in on tasks for our department specifically. We love Float!

Cons

Reflecting events that take place on the weekend can be a little cumbersome. It's doable, it just takes a couple more steps than it would typically.

### "Float - online resource planning in real time"

June 14, 2022

4.0

If you are looking for a resource management and/or time tracking tool then I recommend trying Float - you can take out a free trial to be sure it will work for you.

Pros

Easy to use, online so edit anywhere and immediately updates for the whole team. Flexible and easy to adapt to what you need.

Cons

No real downsides to Float (for what we needed anyway). Sometimes a little unresponsive may just be a connection thing.
