Square Team 4+

Edit - they fixed it… Long term team user suddenly disappointed in new updates

Edit to review- review and messages to square made mid day on a Thursday, they responded by Tuesday, heard our cries to repair it, it was fixed by Wednesday. …..

I have always liked the app. Simple and basic, perfect for my needs. I never was concerned with all the extras. I would have appreciated messaging (not as a paid add on, I’ll just have a group text for that instead of paying for it) but the other stuff crew users seem to have liked in the past. But I have to say…. My team can no longer just go to a tab to see their schedule. I manage 3 locations and the staff goes to each different location as needed. Not only is there a way to see all schedules at one time, via the check mark location select, but now the staff needs to literally select each location one by one to find where they are scheduled and when. There used to be up until a few days ago a way for them to just see their schedule and only their schedule. That is now gone. This is ridiculous. Also, as an employer, I have no way to see the whole day at once of who will be where. This was a terrible change on both of the mentioned issues. Please fix this asap. What you changed is terrible for employers and employees alike. If this stays this way it’s going to ruin the reason I have used this app the last 4 years for scheduling. I’m going to have to go back to sending pictures of a paper schedule to staff in the mean time.

Decent app but could use improvements.

The app seems to work as intended. It displays timecards in an easily readable fashion, accurately showing times clocked in and hours worked (regular, overtime, double time, and total). The timecards section also offers a feature to allow you to view your hours worked over a user-selected period of days. This helpful feature can also be found in the paystubs section. Here, paystubs are presented so that pertinent information is easily located with detailed breakdowns of pay and taxes found at the press of an arrow. The app also offers an option to download a PDF version of your paystubs. While these two sections seem to serve their purpose well, the scheduling part of the app leaves much to be desired. There are options to set your availability, but not by date, only day of the week. This leads to team members having to set availability week by week should they need to report availability accurately through the app. Additionally, there is no option to make yourself unavailable on a day or future date. That is to say, the scheduling aspect of the app could be improved by adding features to allow you to make yourself unavailable and to set your availability by date and not day of the week. I also think as a “team app”, the app should offer a messaging system for communicating with your team. There also seems to be no option to integrate your schedule with your Apple Calendar.

Still adjusting

We had crew app for our organization and have continued on using square. Our needs are mostly for communication so this app takes care of that need.
We miss the feature of having the ability to put a picture in place of initials especially since we have employees with the same initials. (Maybe I just haven't figured out how to do that?) we miss the feature of being able to delete an entire conversation not just one message at a time.
When our data transferred into square, old settings from crew came through. Old employee names, old conversations, previously deleted threads- took a bit of time to clean up. We were bought out at the new year and have a new company name which we had changed but the old name transferred through and I can't change it?
We like the pin feature for messages.
