More sort capabilities would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can see what I'm booked to work on weeks in advance. Can also see what my team is working on, all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not connected to timesheets so end up having to duplicate info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float is an incredibly intuitive piece of software to use, with a simple calendar-like interface that everyone can understand. I have found that this aspect of the software is helpful in promoting its adoption within our teams. The experience is consistent across the product, which has allowed me to discover more and more features in and enrich the experience of using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The performance of the software is occasionally a bit lacklustre. For example, I often find myself accidentally clicking somewhere on the screen which prompts a dialogue box to open to enter a new task. This problem is especially pronounced when using a trackpad, and isn’t something that I experience elsewhere. Additionally, the interface seems to have a strange way of ‘splitting’ tasks that occur across multiple days. I have found that it often leaves blank gaps that give the illusion that a team member is working more hours per day than they actually are.

There are a few features that I would like to see when going forward. Firstly, I think it would be good if there were different options when ‘resizing’ a task. Currently, the task can be resized independently across both axes (i.e. how many hours per day, and across how many days). I think it would be good if there were an option for these to affect each other – i.e. the total number of hours allocated to the project remains the same and could be allocated fewer hours across more days, or more hours across fewer days.

I like the clean UI, the ease of use and the simplicity of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like more options and controls. I can only view a week at a time and only my calendar (this might be due to my organization's settings). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy, intuitive nature makes this easily adaptable across a large team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the option to integrate with my team members' calendars Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how intuitive Float is. I like how you can overview many different projects at the same time and keep track of the progress on each of them.

It's also very useful that you can get reports for overtime, holidays and production time spent on each job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it still has a lots of areas to improve (but so fat it's going in the right direction!).

I think the reports part could be improved as it includes too much information.

I also think the font used on the pencils is not very easy to read.

I think it would also help if we could see the details of each booking when we hoover over it with our mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Float incredibly easy to use. I can easily see what I'm meant to be working on and when, and I like that I can change the way I view the information. i.e. by person, by project, etc. The different views are clear and uncluttered and I like that there aren't any unnecessary frills. There is good help available if needed, like video tutorials etc. as well. In my current role I am only a user but I imagine I will use more functions of the software when I move up to a higher level role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to say I disliked something, I would have a hard time finding something to dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can split bookings so every day is defined with the precise hours required on that resource, rather than a large blanket booking. I like that there are unlimited colour choices for each user, and one can easily identify each resource's role in the company. I like that you can easily see when someone is overallocated.

I dislike the extra step that one must take to add a new client and new project. It's an additional step that I find too cumbersome and not user friendly. I also don't like that there isn't a simple "duplicate" button, rather, you must split it and then move it to a different resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, and quick learning. it increases my productivity greatly. Ever since i started using Float, i have grown more and more dependent on it. It is now a go-to tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use interface is a bit outdated/dull. it could be improved and polished. The filtering feature could also be reworked to speed up the filtering process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it integrates with your project budget. It shows you how much you're over or under your projected target given how many hours you put into float. It's clean and looks great and is fairly easy to read (unless you zoom out and you project title gets truncated). It's easy to add and modify tasks and setup is fairy self-explanatory minus a few quirks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate that you can't lock items into place and that when you move items around they don't automatically push out the schedule. I get that the method used here works for a lot of situations, but it'd be nice to add in some functionality. Right now, youre budget isn't the constraint. You can move hours around willy nilly and that number fluctuates. I'd like to see an option where you set your budgeted hours and the program rigidly holds to that, pushing the schedule out as needed to accommodate. And I like that you can see your budgeted hours as a percentage but the functionality is super light with regards to accuracy. We update our Float schedule every week and it's a pain to get accurate numbers given the "hours per day" model. If you end up spending 11.5 hours in a week on one project or task, you have to put them all in a single day to be accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
