"Steep Learning Curve and Usability Issues"
1/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

I guess I like that it's easy to log in through my Google, so I don't have to save another password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

I don't really like the tool. It's really hard to use, honestly. It's hard to understand what I'm allocated to for the week. It's hard for producers to actually input and move people's time allocations around. There's a steep learning curve to getting it to work the way we want. The data is never really trustworthy because it's always off. Getting reports has way too much information, and it's never in the format that I want. The calendar view is very hard to navigate and understand. It's not a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexandria Petigna of Float.com

Hi Carolyn, thank you for this honest feedback. Although it’s a bit tough to hear, it means a lot.

It’s great that Float is helping your team with resource allocation and project budget tracking. I want the rest of the experience to feel just as useful.

The difficulties you’ve described with navigation, reporting, and the calendar view are really helpful for our product team to hear. I hope that, with some of our upcoming roadmap items, we’ll make Float easier for you to learn and use.

In the meantime, I’d love to help your team get more out of the tool. Drop us a line at support@float.com, and the team will set up a walkthrough tailored to your team’s workflow.

I appreciate you sharing this with us.

"Simplicity and Mobile Access on the Go"
5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

I like the simplicity of Float.com and how useful it is overall. The mobile app is great because it allows me to see what I'm doing each day, especially on my commute to work. It's very smooth to use, and the initial setup was really easy since I could just sign in using Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

When I click on a project, it gives me the job details like number and time assigned instead of taking me straight to a list of everyone booked on the project. I currently have to copy and paste the number into the search bar to see who's on a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy UI and Clear Workload Visibility, with Solid Integrations"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

It lets my manager see what my workload looks like, so I’m not overloaded. The UI is easy to use, and the integrations with the company system are satisfactory. Performance hasn’t been an issue for me. Pricing isn’t my concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

I like everything about it. Maybe you could increase the price a little bit, just to make my boss pay an arm and a leg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clear, Visual Project and Resource Planning Made Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

I use on a daily basis to plan for projects and resource allocations. It helps me track past spent hours and future allocated hours, and match against budget burn rate. The clear visual representation is easy to digest and adjust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

My Float is stuck at the "split" option and I have reached out to support already. I tried their solution but that hasn't worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Color-Coded Blocks for Visual Thinkers"
5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

Honestly it's the great colour coding of my blocks. I'm a visual person, it's fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

Scrolling horizontally across the schedule assumes that someone is using a track pad or has an apple mouse.

I can't click and drag to shift it across. Or alternatively, there's no bar to drag, or hover buttons on either side to move to different weeks.

The little white arrow in the grey box at the top right only allows me to go forward as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helps me plan patient follow ups and content work in one schedule"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and also create health education content. I tried Float.com to plan my clinic work and content work in one place. I created small projects for patient follow-ups and content planning, and blocked time for things like diet notes and patient guidance. This helped me see how my day is split between clinic work and content work.

The calendar view made it easy to place work into time blocks. When clinic timings changed, I could just drag the blocks and adjust the schedule instead of planning again from start. This is useful because clinic timings change often.

The first setup was simple and did not take much time. I could start using it without doing anything complicated and plan my week in a simple way.

I also liked keeping clinic work and content work in separate projects. It made my routine work easier to manage and did not feel heavy to use. So Overall, it helped me plan my work in a more organized way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

One small thing I noticed is that when I was adding my first project and time blocks, I had to click around a bit to find the right options. It is not confusing, but the first setup takes a little time.

Apart from that, the planning view worked well for my clinic and content work, and I did not face any real problems in normal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly and Efficient Task Management with Float"
5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

What I appreciate most about Float is its user-friendly interface and accessibility. It provides a clear and efficient way to understand assigned tasks, and the use of color coding makes it easy to distinguish and organize different tasks effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

One aspect I find less favorable about Float is that it can sometimes feel limited in customization options, especially when managing complex schedules or projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, Easy Weekly Planning—But Copy/Paste and Individual View Need Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

I can plan my week using my mouse, which makes it quick and convenient. The dashboard is easy to navigate and has a clean, minimalist design, and I really like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

I cannot copy and paste a previous activity easily into another day. Also, the individual's view is not that satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Scheduling with Great Google Calendar & Jira Integrations"
5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

Using Float is incredibly easy, intuitive, and smooth. The drag-and-drop interface, along with the keyboard shortcuts, saves me a lot of time day to day. I also really like the integrations with Google Calendar and Jira, and I find the time tracking useful as well. The different colours make it very easy to differentiate between projects at a glance. I also like being able to add time off in Float, because it helps me communicate availability clearly to the wider team and makes scheduling easier overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

The only downside for me is that it doesn’t integrate with Harvest, which is a very popular time-tracking tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Easy Scheduling with Great Filters and Daily Summaries"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Float.com?

Fast and easy scheduling, the filters, the daily summaries, pricing, quick onboarding, sharing a link to specific projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

Would like to see a calendar view in a block format. Right clicking to split a task is challenging/not user friendly. Would be nice to add in custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
