Good but not great **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Veterinary | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2019 **What do you like best about Sling?** I love that I have the option to see just my schedule for the week on the screen or can see who all I’m working with on certain days of the week **What do you dislike about Sling?** It crashes sometimes. If I try to switch from one view to another, or click through to a different week, approximately 25% of the time, it crashes **What problems is Sling solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sling has allowed me to see when I’m working, what days I’m opening, what days I leave early, and what days we’ll be short staffed or what days people have already requested off. It allows me to easily access the schedule without having to consult our manager ### 2. "Sling" your way to work **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Sling?** I am thoroughly impressed by the easy accessibility and the user friendly interface of the application. **What do you dislike about Sling?** I don't dislike anything about this application. **Recommendations to others considering Sling:** Make sure you update your profile to get the most out of your experience! **What problems is Sling solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am loving the notification setting that let's me know when my next shift is, in real time.

Sling takes time to get used to, have had both good and bad experiences depending on use **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anja C. | Box Office Clerk, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Sling?** Seeing the whole layout of the schedule including your availability, your shifts, shifts you can apply for, and shifts that have already been applied to but are maybe still available **What do you dislike about Sling?** The multiple tabs make for good organization but for me at least too time to get used to.The worst part about using it was just waiting on other users to apply for shifts so that we could see the full schedule sooner. In addition, availability could not be customized as well as I would have liked (it was set hour by hour so if you were free at 1:30 you'd have to set your availability to 2) **Recommendations to others considering Sling:** familiarize yourself with it before you really start using it **What problems is Sling solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used this for scheduling and we found that it resulted in less people forgetting about shifts and that it was easier to assign people to shifts based on availability if no had applied for shift ### 4.

It makes the process incredibly easier. It is a must have. **What do you dislike about Sling?** The downside of sling is that if you have a detailed daily schedule, you will get a notification, even for your lunch break.

It’s essentially solving employee schedules. The benefit is the organization that comes with it! ### 5.

Glitchy and annoying **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Luxury Goods & Jewelry | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2017 **What do you like best about Sling?** when using the computer version you can see what your hours for the week will be, but there is no way to clock in or out and see your punches. It is fairly simple to accept new shifts and offer shifts to other employees, but you cannot trade shifts with someone you have to offer it to them and wait for them to accept so you can take theirs. **What do you dislike about Sling?** the phone app glitches all the time, it is either hard to load or crashes when it updates and you have to delete it and re-install. when it comes to message threads you cannot delete yourself from messages that a superior or anyone adds you to, you can only sometimes archive them. there is no way to turn off notifications for things like co-workers birthdays, which i really don't care about. when i deleted the app to stop receiving notifications it began texting me two hours before my shifts started, which there is no way to turn off or subscribe to such a service. If I had any choice to use any other software, I would, but this is the only place my schedule for work is posted now. **Recommendations to others considering Sling:** The benefit of sling as it is is there is little to no cost, if you are willing to spend though, When I Work is a much better app, with easier to use formats and a way to implement your schedule into your phone/google calendar instead of having to check the app all the time. **What problems is Sling solving and how is that benefiting you?** before we started using Sling we had our schedule done on a google spreadsheet, which took some time to load and quite some effort to read, and there was no way to update it when you would want to switch shifts with someone, you would just have to show up. There is a feature where you can access a contact book of co-workers numbers and e-mails, so you can contact them outside the app (as a number of us refuse to check the messages because of the hassle). And we have recently begun to utilize the newsletter function for general posts for the entire team, but there is no notification to tell you to read the board so you once again have to resort to messages. ### 38.
