Pros

“This software is a lifesaver and it helps you stay on track with your finances. It also helps for the times in between with needing extra funds.”

Johnella C.

Restorative Practice

“I like the overall idea of the software and it helps connect employees together for scheduling issues and to communicate. It’s also good to keep up with my schedule and finances all in the same place.”

Brett N.

Manager

“I like how easy and fast it is to set up and has good tracking of all the money transfers.”

Diego C.

Teacher

Cons

“There’s not anything that I particularly disliked. Maybe having to use my FaceID anytime I exited the app or when there was an interruption.”

Miguel A.

Shift Lead

“It reads the schedule wrong sometimes because it reads the picture posted wrong depends on how fuzzy the picture is taken.”

Brianna L.

Cashier

“Not the worst feature but having to remember to log out every time I use it so no one else can just open it up is a little bit of a hassle. All my other financial apps automatically log me out.”
