1. 2/5So many auto clock out issues!

   Update; still issues I clock in and wait to see it actually clock me in and it shows my clock in time but then when I go to clock out for lunch it shows I didn’t clock in! Honestly the developers to fix these issues! It is COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE!! At least weekly the app automatically clocks me out but what’s bizarre is I clock out each night myself but when I got back in the next day to look at my time sheet it shows the app clocked me out and each time this happens it’s clocking my out a HOUR LATER THAN WHEN I CLOCKED IN!! I’m constantly checking the app for updates but this has been a constant issue for me! My employer is having to fix my time almost weekly! This is ridiculous!!!! And there is no help for this

2. 5/5Longtime User

   I’ve been using Deputy for over 10 years across my multi-location business, and it has consistently proven to be one of the most reliable and affordable tools for managing my team. We use Deputy every single day — for scheduling, timesheets, the kiosk app, the news feed, and tasks. It’s become an essential part of how we run our stores. The task feature in particular has been a huge upgrade from sticky notes; we’ve built custom opening and closing checklists that keep each location organized and accountable. Communication is seamless, and Deputy has made it easy for our team to stay connected across multiple stores. The only challenge I’ve encountered is with the journal feature. Because I value transparency, I set up a “phantom location” so all my store managers could communicate together as equals. The trade-off is that their journals — whether praise or constructive feedback — are visible to one another. While I love the transparency for most communication, I believe notes about areas for improvement should remain private. Even with that small limitation, Deputy remains a five-star system. It’s powerful, easy to use, and cost-effective for a growing team. I can’t imagine running my business without it.

3. 5/5Dope

   So initially when I find out that I had to download yet another app onto my phone for my new contractor, I was a little frustrated. But Deputy has actually turned out to be pretty cool. The best part is that I can go back and see my timesheets from every day since I’ve started. The second best part is that I can see everyone who is clocked into the system. That may not be necessary if you’re working in a small building or work alone mostly. But for a place where assistance from colleagues is an every day thing, it helps. It’s also very user friendly. The only thing that I would suggest is integrating an alarm into the app. Probably one that picks up on time sheet patterns and can remind you to clock in.

4. 3/5Good but could be better

   Deputy does time and location tracking well, scheduling and usage heuristics. Where it falls short is in the news feed area. There is no chronological sort for feeds - a newly added feed may find itself bogged down underneath feeds from 2 weeks ago, and stop a feed from yesterday. There does not seem to be a logical order for new news feed placement, and the order changes constantly, making finding a past feed very difficult. Also, the enormous volume of feedback resulting from a particular feed cannot be silenced or deleted. I do not care to hear how someone disagrees with a particular post, and I am tired of it automatically filling up my iPhone notification screen, buzzing each time it does. Please fix these two things and earn a 5.

5. 5/5Ubër Convenient and Efficient

   I would say this App is one of the best and most convenient I have ever utilized as an employee to receive schedules, see who else is working with is that day pr a few days even a week ahead of time and clocking in and taking breaks. It centralizes so much in such an efficient way. However this is not an app for micro-managing atmospheres. If that is needed for employers then this is not the app for you because the location when clocking in is not extremely accurate so there is need for lee-way there when employees may or may not be exactly at the location and still rolling into work. So that is one main concern Employers might have. They (employers) would probably still like that even though that is not pin-point accurate they are still able to require a more accurate clock-in time because clocking in is now simplified to the access of the employees phones rather than reporting to a Time Clock station. And once you "clock-in" then it's just simply putting your phone away and beginning your work. Ubër convenient and efficient!!
