Operations Manager Staffing and Recruiting ### "If you're seeking Intuitive software, look elsewhere" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 August 19, 2024 Not the best application to use as you have to go into it to get the information instead of it being provided automatically. Pros The application allows applicants to apply. Cons Lack of communication, an application would be put in but not communicated to us that it was available.

Heather H. Service Agent Financial Services ### "HRdirect Smart App, Recommended " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 August 17, 2021 My overall experience is great when it comes to this software. It’s been a plus since the beginning and I do recommend. Pros What I like most about this software is its simplicity and great navi. All tools needed are provided and it’s very easy to navigate! Cons There isn’t anything specific that I do not like about the software so far. It gets the job done and is very easy to navigate.

Human Resource Manager Human Resources ### "Great Option for Small to Mid Size Companies Looking to find an Affordable Attendance Tracker, Plus" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 21, 2020 This is a great app that allows you to track attendance and training from the same dashboard all while ensuring compliance. It is easy to use, there is a little set up, but well worth the time it takes to load your employees. They keep adding to the apps available and the cost is very affordable at $90 per app per year. If you are still using pen and paper, this is a great option for you to try and only requires a year commitment. Pros It is affordable and easy to use. This app allows you to track your attendance and be able to print it out whenever you need a hard copy as well. Cons Would like it if they would make more safety training available and update it annually. The app recently added for safety is legally compliant, but does not update at this time. I have suggested that they add other areas to the safety training app which they say they will consider in the future.

President | Marketing Advisor Marketing and Advertising ### "We Love This Product!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 21, 2019 Keeping track of employees became overwhelming as we grew larger. Smart Apps allowed me to spend my time doing more important things and not worry as much as incorrect tracking issues. Pros With Smart Apps, I never had to worry about tracking hours and time sheets again! Cons We apparently weren't smart enough to figure out Smart Apps at first but we made a enough mistakes to finally get things right.

Pros I like how the software enabled me to see my paycheck easily and edit information as needed. Cons After using this software for about a year, there is nothing that comes to mind with regard to not liking the software.

AU Anonymous User Office Administrator Apparel & Fashion ### "Disappointed" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 October 24, 2018 Pros Has potential, but limited. I love the idea of it, being able to have multiple apps using the same employee information. They were quick to respond to my questions. Cons Cannot print - how can I administer discipline if I can't print anything out? Knew within moments that it would not work for us, but they would not return the money. I couldn't try the app without buying it, but they will not issue refunds if the app is not suitable. They either need to have a good sample to download and try (with their own info loaded, not alterable by the user) or they need to issue refunds.
