It has just the right amount of functionalities to make its usage simple and satisfactory. > > **Cons**: I don't like the mobile application as much as I like the website. Aside from the overall UI, it particularly lacks a functionality which I find to be amazing and time-saving. When specifiying my availability for each week, on the website, you can just copy the availability specified on a previous week for the current week. On the mobile app, this isn't an option from which you can benefit, which makes specifying my availability by phone a considerably time consuming task. > > My overall experience I'd say is very satisfactory, I've never had any issues or technical bugs for starters and I've never felt the need to look or ask my employer for a different scheduling solution. I find the overall UI quite engaging and believe users ranging from the tech-savy to the old not so skilled would find it easy to use. ----- ### "Applicatie op maat\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kelvin** | *17 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shiftbase is overzichtelijk, je kunt het op meerdere manieren en voor verschillende doeleinden gebruiken. Het fijne van Shiftbase is dat je de applicatie volledig kunt inrichten zodat het voor elke organisatie bruikbaar is. Je bent niet verplicht om alle facetten te gebruiken, maar de applicatie laat je vrij om de facetten te gebruiken welke je specifiek voor je eigen organisatie nodig hebt. > > **Cons**: Enige nadeel is nu nog dat je er geen tweewekelijks 'contract' in kunt verwerken. Dit is vooral handig als je met werknemers te maken hebben die per week verschillende contracturen hebben. > > In het begin lijkt alles erg onoverzichtelijk. Maar als je de filmpjes bekijkt en eenmaal door hebt hoe de API koppeling werkt, dan haalt het zoveel administratieve rompslomp bij je weg. ----- ### "It worth to be a great time tracking software" — 3.0/5 > **Kayla** | *20 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The presence of bugs on my phone together with non-responsive customer support is what annoys me > > **Cons**: Overall it allows users to create work scheduling and I must say talk about its different bugs I encountered ----- ### "A great software\!\!\!\! Highly recommend\!\!\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tavoni** | *28 August 2024* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how accurate and precise the software is when it comes to scheduling. It was very easy to use and beginner-friendly. It is very helpful with keeping the workflow organized. > > **Cons**: I do feel the user experience on the website needs some improvement. Overall, it is a great software to use and I highly recommend it\!\!\!\!\! > > My experience with Shiftbase software has been wonderful\!\!\!\! This software truly is a life safer\!\!\!\!\! My overall experience was very positive\!\!\!\!\! ----- ### "Shiftbase is customizable & flexible, but easy to use" — 4.0/5 > **quentin** | *24 August 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The deciding factors for me where: - Flexibility in the assignment of rights to certain groups of users (allows for self-rostering and added flexibility, we use it to add a "flex" group to every team, so everyone can see the roster of another team, without the ability to change something) - The API: helps in tracking employee parameters without being dependent on manual repporting - Ease of use: it's always a challenge to launch a group of people into daily use of the app, and the question remains how the new tool will be introduced and explained. I'm glad shiftbase has a knowledge centre, so one can lookup any questions quite easily > > **Cons**: - The presentation of the "team roster" isn't all that useful - A lack of options for part-time employees, meaning that the planning of off-days has to be managed with the use of availability, which takes time to put in for each and every employee - Polishing the app: the app is quite useful, but in my opinion it isn't quite as refined as the mean application > > We were looking for a flexibel tool which allows us to experiment with self-rostering \& self-planning. This is all possible with the build-in functions \& ability to adjust rights. Now, our whole team is managed on the same platform, so everyone is able to see who's planned in for the day, who's on vacation etc. I hope the app will continue to be refined in the future, and that feedback from customers will be taken into account for the continuous development. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/264559/shifttime?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/264559/shifttime) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
