"Best scheduling app"
5/5
What do you like best about Sling?

Having both a desktop and mobile app makes it very convenient to spend time building a complete schedule from the desktop but manage changes on the fly from mobile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

Nothing, it is very user friendly, with more features than I can name here. The team is alerted to upcoming shifts, can schedule themselves off, it just works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Scheduling Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Sling?

I was looking for a very low-cost solution to manage our company's schedule and found Sling to fit our needs perfectly. It is very user-friendly, both for management to create and manage the schedule and for the staff to use it. I have used both the free and premium versions. For our company, even the free version was perfectly capable of what we needed it for; however, the premium version does offer some useful upgrades such as tracking labour costs, a built-in timeclock so employees may log in and out, a messaging app and the ability to create task templates that can be attached to shifts. You also have access to a variety of staffing reports.

With the free version, you are able to build lists of employees, positions, locations and groups and use them to populate the schedule. You can also create shift templates to save the time of selecting start and end times each time a shift is created. Multiple work locations and positions can be added for any given employee, which helps when employees have job roles that fluctuate and who may work either in office or from home.

The employees receive email notifications when new shifts are created, modified or removed and they can view their schedule from PC or Mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

I am no longer able to create re-occuring or repeat shifts from the free version. I am assuming that this is now a premium feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and has all the features I need"
5/5
What do you like best about Sling?

Ease of use. I can create long-term shift plans for my team much quicker than I could the product I was using previously. Additionally, it´s very fairly priced and much cheaper than what I was using before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

I don´t really have any dislikes. It does its job, and it does it well enough. My team´s schedule is quite simple and I´m not using any of the advanced features like the tasks so I can´t rate those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sling?

The invigilators get a reminder for each slot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

Sometimes to print from sling it takes quite a bit of time to load the pdfs.

I use the free app and would like to allocate multiple invigilators to one slot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate accomplishing so much in one program. I like group messaging and private messaging. The creating the schedule and releasing shifts is very user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

Once your staff has seen your Announcement, it disappears. We've started creating the announcement and posting it on the newsfeed page so staff can reference it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sling Review - Talk Recruitment"
5/5
What do you like best about Sling?

Easy to use, meets most of our recruitment needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sling?

That is doesn't sync with Xero or our Payroll. Could have more layers of accessibility. It would be good if our Managers didn't have access to everything for example - archiving positions/locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
