1. 5/5The domino effect of a forgotten request

   We’ve all been there.. It’s 10pm Friday night, you and your friends just planned your trip together after 6 months of a group chat convo FINALLY! You say “that should work. I’ll submit my PTO” But without an app. It has to wait until Monday. Then Monday comes and goes.. you forget to submit your PTO request. Then your trip is coming up and you can’t remember if you submitted your request.. Tension ensues as you tell your boss you forgot to submit your PTO and now it’s the week prior and you need time off. You tense… Your flights and accommodations deposits have been paid…ah! Now rewind and you have the BAMBOOHR app.. instantly on that Friday night you can submit your request. Your request is approved first thing Monday. You’re good to go, no stress received, no money lost. That’s my favorite part. Plus much more. It’s so convenient. 5/5

2. 2/5Some major flaws

   In my opinion there are some major flaws in this app that really knock the rating down a lot. First the calendar and “out today” feature neglect to include you as a person. Imagine the anxiety you would get when you check the calendar to see who is off as you get ready to come back from a long vacation and you don’t see your name. Are you going to loose your job because you left and checked out of work but got the dates wrong on accident? No. Instead of putting my time off on the calendar, it’s buried in the “My Info” tab under the “upcoming time off” section. Even then it’s wrong - the period of time off is now, not in the future. Additionally the app “Send Feedback” section redirects you to an inaccessible google doc. It feels like a placeholder for some internal only testing document. It feels like this app wasn’t fully tested before being released.

3. 4/5The app is great!

   Since we started using BambooHR, our company has become more organized with things such as putting in for PTO, document signing and ease of access for reading HR documents. Being able to set goals for yourself and your team and show as they complete the tasks along the way is a great addition to the App. The only thing that I think could be better on the App is having more control over being able to see the people you’re in charge of and completing raise requests and everything the web-based version give access to. I would highly recommend any company looking for a great HR based software to go with BambooHR, I have used other types of HR software and this is by far the best!

4. 2/5Drives me crazy

   Unfortunately my company forces me to use this "app". I don’t see any advantage of it , but everyone has to request vacations or any other days off through this piece of crap. The second time I tried to log, in the program warned me about the wrong password. I was surprised because I don’t usually forget passwords. Anyway, I set up the password again. At the next login the same thing happened, I had to request a password reset again. And it repeats every time I have to log in. If you watched Groundhog Day you know how I feel. The most annoying thing is, that I cannot even set up the old password because the "smart app" knows that it was my password before so I have to pick a new one. Smart enough to know it is an old password, but not smart enough to let me log in with it. Useless app, and unusable.

5. 4/5BambooHr can you add this feature? It would benefit a lot of people.

   This is a good app, but I really wish it would tell you when a fellow employee has requested a day off when it hasn’t been approved off yet. This would help out so much when trying to request days off especially when at my job only 2 people can be out at the same time. Also when you look to see who’s out, it shows the person is out even if they’re just leaving early for the day, this would also benefit the other fellow workers if it was indicated that the person is leaving early.
