"Fast, Simple Timekeeping"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

I like how fast, easy, and simple it is to use. I don’t have to click through multiple screens just to get to my punch in/out. I also like that I can use it on either desktop or mobile, and I don’t really have to think about it once I’m in. At the end of the week, I can simply send my hours in, and I don’t have to keep track of breaks, etc. Basically, it simplifies timekeeping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

None to mention. Any issues I've had are because of my own user error. Like I started by punching in/out for lunches and adding notes and I didn't have to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

"Simple and reliable time tracking that gets the job done"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

What I like most is how easy it is to use. Very user-friendly. Clocking in and out only takes a few seconds, and it works smoothly whether you’re on desktop or mobile. I also appreciate the location tracking and approval features because it keeps time entries accurate and avoids confusion. Overall, it just does its job without being complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

There aren’t a lot of major downsides, but some features could be more customizable. For example, reports sometimes feel a bit limited if you want very specific data. It would also be nice if a few actions required fewer clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!

We’re thrilled to hear that Buddy Punch has been simple, reliable, and easy to use across both desktop and mobile.

"Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

I have been using Buddy Punch for a while now, and it's been a smooth transaction. The interface is clean and incredibly easy for everyone to navigate. Clocking in and out takes seconds, which helps me be on time.

Overall, it’s reliable, user-friendly, and a great solution for any business looking for attendance management. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

Sometimes, when I'm overwhelmed with the workloads, I tend to forget to clock out after my shift, which may cause me to write a report on why I forget to clock out on time. So it really helps if there is a notification email that reminds me to clock out. Also it really help to have a confirmation button whenever I need to change type of work or clock out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that Buddy Punch has been a smooth, reliable part of your workflow and that the clean interface and quick clock-ins help you stay on time. Providing an intuitive and dependable experience is exactly what we aim for, so your recommendation truly means a lot to us.

We also sincerely appreciate your feedback on clock-out reminders and confirmation prompts. It’s completely understandable how easy it can be to miss a clock-out when workloads get intense, especially in a remote environment. So with that in mind, I did want to let you know that we do have the options of Punch Out and Missed Out (based on Scheduling) Reminders and these can be configured by your Administrators. You should also see your status change whenever punching in or out or switching between jobs. Should this ever not be the case, however, please don't hesitate to reach out via live chat or email us at support@buddypunch.com and we'll be happy to assist to take a look with you and assist.

Thank you again for trusting Buddy Punch to help you and your supervisor manage time and attendance. If you ever need further assistance or have more ideas to share, our team is always here to help!

"Absolutely love Buddy Punch!!"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

One of my favorites is the use of the time off calender.. I also like how if I made a mistake & forgot to clock in or clock out, I can go back and edit it, & wait on it to be reviewed & approved. I like how it breaks everything down regarding your hrs, pay, PTO, etc. The setup is easy to use also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

I have not came across anything in my experience with Buddy Punch of something I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Love this review—thank you! We’re so glad the time-off calendar and approval processes are helping you stay on top of hours, PTO, and pay. Seamless is what we aim for!

"works well from a manager's perspective"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

Fast, website and mobile based. Easy and intuitive to use for both employees and managers. Canned reports that are intuitive and easy to use also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

Only problems ive had so far:

- The web based desktop version sometimes doesnt seem to register the click for punch in / punch out. This may be a my computer thing, not a their problem thing.

- on the web based desktop version putting in custom time punches (like 8:13 instead of the using the predefined 5 minute blocks) is clunky and doesnt respond as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback; this is incredibly helpful.

We’re glad to hear Buddy Punch is working well from a manager’s perspective, and that both the website and mobile app feel intuitive for your team. It’s also great to know the reports have been useful and that improved punch accuracy has helped reduce tardiness.

We also appreciate you calling out the two issues you’ve noticed on the desktop web version. The punch in/out click not registering and the clunky experience when entering custom punch times definitely aren’t what we want for you. Even if it might be device-specific, we’d love the chance to dig in and make sure everything is working as expected. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our Support Team with a few details (browser type/version, whether it happens consistently or intermittently, and any steps that tend to trigger it), and we’ll be happy to help troubleshoot together.

Thanks again for your review and for choosing Buddy Punch

"Easy to Use and Delivers a Great Experience"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

It is easy to use and straightforward with clock in and clock out, even for missed punches. Accessing past timecards is nice and simple too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

Sometimes when I am really busy, I log in to punch in or out and miss doing so. If there was some kind of thing that would pop up confirming punch in/out, that would be the only thing that I think would improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Thank you for taking the time to share your Buddy Punch experience. We really appreciate your feedback!

We’re so glad to hear that you’ve found the platform easy to use, especially when it comes to clocking in and out and accessing past timecards. Making those everyday actions simple and reliable, whether you’re working remotely or on the go, is something we strive for.

We also appreciate your suggestion around a punch confirmation prompt pop-up. That’s a great callout, especially during busy moments, and feedback like this helps us continue improving the experience. We’ll be sharing this with our Product Team for consideration. With that in mind, however, I do want to confirm that your current punch status (Punched In or Punched Out) should always be displayed at the top of the Time Entry page on web or also at the top after the word "Status:" on the app.

Thanks again for your thoughtful insights and for being part of Buddy Punch!

"Best Web Based Timecard!!!!"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

The software is very easy to use, which I appreciate. I especially like the vacation tracking features, as they make managing time off much simpler. Additionally, I find it helpful to be able to see where employees clock in and out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doing a manual punch for a employee can be tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplified Time Tracking for Multiple Jobs"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

Buddy Punch lets me clock in and out of multiple job throughout the day. Our accounting team used to hate having to tally my weekly hours because they were so complicated.

I also like being able to use the mobile app when I'm out in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buddy Punch?

On rare occasions, the Buddy Punch site is not available or functional.

Also, I sometimes get kicked back due to GPS error even though my GPS is on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Tarver of Buddy Punch

Thank you for the review and for sharing such specific feedback!

We’re glad Buddy Punch has made it easier to clock in and out of multiple jobs throughout the day and that it’s taken some of the headache out of reporting weekly hours for your accounting team. It’s also great to hear the mobile app has been helpful when you’re out in the field, and that you’re able to spot when projected man-hours are being exceeded so you can manage jobs more proactively.

Thanks for the candid feedback regarding the rare occasions when the site isn’t available/fully functional, and the GPS errors you’ve experienced. That’s definitely frustrating, especially when you’re trying to punch quickly. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our Support Team via live chat or email to support@buddypunch.com with further details (device type, browser/app version, and when the GPS error tends to happen), and we’ll help troubleshoot together and share the specifics with our team as needed.

Thanks again for choosing Buddy Punch. We appreciate you!

"happy buddy punch employee"
What do you like best about Buddy Punch?

Employees can clock in and out from any device — computer, phone, or tablet — which makes it perfect for hybrid or remote teams. You can set location boundaries so employees can only punch in or out when they’re at a specific site. This helps ensure accountability for field teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
