[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/sling-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/sling-profile/alternatives/) # Sling User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.6/5 - Total reviews: 212 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.6/5 - Customer support: 4.4/5 - Value for money: 4.6/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 138 reviews (65%) - 4 stars: 65 reviews (31%) - 3 stars: 6 reviews (3%) - 2 stars: 3 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - Our team management features enable us to organize 24/7 shifts of our medical dispatch center and make sure that each emergency call is addressed promptly. - Requesting time off, resting and publishing the schedules and user messaging was all a breeze with Sling. - It’s simplified planning QA inspections, helping me ensure we’re covered for critical production runs while not crossing those scheduling paths. ### Most mentioned cons - It was a decent app to clock in clock out but the communication options were poor because the sounds were so low and would miss texts - Syncing of calendar does not always work well with our Google Calendar. - On the mobile app, it can sometimes be hard to see the "big picture" of the whole team's schedule for the week compared to looking at it on a computer. ## Sling customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 212 (page 1). ### Reliable scheduling and easy shift swaps, but the mobile app can be laggy. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Hallye N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, Sling has made my work life much more organized. I use it daily to check my shifts and clock in. It’s very user-friendly, and I didn't really need a "tutorial" to figure out how to use it. It’s a solid 4-star app—it does exactly what it needs to do for scheduling, though a smoother mobile experience would make it perfect. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love that I get instant alerts when a new schedule is posted or if a shift changes, so I never have to guess when I'm working. It's really easy to put a shift up for grabs or trade with a coworker without having to text everyone individually. Having the schedule, my time clock, and team messages all in one app is much better than using multiple platforms. #### Cons The app can sometimes be a bit slow to load or "cramped" on a smaller screen compared to the desktop version. Occasionally, there’s a slight delay in notifications or syncing when my manager makes a last-minute change. On the mobile app, it can sometimes be hard to see the "big picture" of the whole team's schedule for the week compared to looking at it on a computer. --- ### Time and Efficiency packed in one - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: William M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been using Sling the past three years for building my teams schedule, and using it the past year for the time-clock function. I wish I would have been using it for both much earlier. Still a great value for the resources it provides. I encourage all medical offices to utilize it to stream line communication between management and staff. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have multiple work locations, and what I love most about Sling is that it allows all three of these locations to operate under one profile rathe than having 3 separate accounts. The platform is easy to learn, and very user friendly. I doe like that it allows for scheduling, as well as a time clock function: much easier to have it all under one app for managing my team. #### Cons I don't like how it cost more the more the more users you have on the platform. It used to not be that way. #### Reasons for choosing Sling cost vs what you get for the expense each month #### Reasons for switching to Sling ease of use of the entire platform, as well as the fact we were already using it for employee schedule. --- ### Small Business sling review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Brendan A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It was great when we were not experiencing any bugs or other issues. We would still be using sling today if not for those issues #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to setup and use. Employees also like ease of use and overall simplicity. Scheduling was great, especially the labor cost percentage based on projected sales. #### Cons I didn’t dislike anything feature wise, but rather had issues with reliability for notifications coming through to mobile devices or the app not loading chat messages. --- ### Sling is Great - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lauren A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's great. We switched over from a different scheduling program, and there was no learning curve. The integration with Toast is ultimately why we chose it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's very easy to use. Syncs back and forth with Toast with sales and time punches used in toast. The data sync helps with scheduling to projected budgets. Employees like the app platform. Looks clean and is streamlined. #### Cons There really isn't anything that I dislike about it. The only thing I find annoying is that employees are sorted by first name only--and I can't adjust to sort by last name. #### Reasons for switching to Sling The intagration with Toast was the main reason why. Happy we did --- ### Adaptable Platform - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Maggie S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Sling is a very useful and adaptable app for scheduling. Want to let people switch their own shifts? Turn on the setting! Want to approve each switch change? You can do that too. Want to look at a few people's schedules? It is very easy to do so. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling has a feature in which you can view your own schedule or you can view the entire schedule, including other people's. This makes it very easy to see what you want to see - your schedule, or who is working next, before you, or on a shift you might prefer. Sling also provides an ability to switch shifts with individuals rather than everyone on the team which reduces clutter to those who cannot work that shift. #### Cons There is not much about Sling that I did not like other than when multiple schedules are input there are occasional errors. Sometimes the shifts at my job overlap for different responsibilities, which we schedule into Sling. When scheduling those roles or switching shifts among people, Sling sometimes errors out or states that there is an overlap multiple times before allowing us to schedule. #### Reasons for switching to Sling Connectteam did not offer the features we wanted to start using. --- ### Scheduling made simple… - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cameron M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I would go back should need be, I would also recommend! Scheduling made simple. Top 3 softwares for sure! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I tried sling for a short time but it was okay to work with at the time! A pro was it’s easy to understand, like most. #### Cons Technical errors? Sometimes I wasn’t sure if it was me but I had trouble in certain areas but not consistent. #### Reasons for switching to Sling To try something different!! Our sheets was getting overwhelming as the staff grew! --- ### Easy to use with a minimal learning curve - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Cheryl V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Public Safety - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It was positive, but we moved to another product that gave us more flexibility and options to manage the team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ease of use. It was easy for us to figure out how to use and for the staff to get acquainted with. #### Cons That I couldn’t easily share task lists with the rest of the team that was working. We also didn’t have the functionality to have a document repository that was app based for the staff- the app was limited. #### Reasons for choosing Sling Because it would automate what we were doing manually in Google sheets. --- ### BEST for Staff Communication (time off, messages, notices, meetings) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alyse P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We needed something to help communicate with all of our staff, and we tried lots of other systems. With Sling's many ways to communicate, via pages, messages, and the scheduling portion, we found it the most useful. We love that you can like or comment on posts to ensure staff know what they are doing, and that you can pin high priority topics at the top of the page to best find them when you need access quickly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We love the time off request- the ability to do it by day or by the hour is a great feature for our type of work where employees are scheduled by the hour. We love how you can see if it has been approved or is pending, and the notifications to all management when a staff requests off is a great feature to keep everyone in the know! #### Cons We are working with the free version only, so under 50 employees, but we do have seasonal hiring, so in the summer months we go over that number. We make it work, but it would be great to have flexibility to sometimes go over that number if needed to keep it a free user system. #### Reasons for choosing Sling Cost and communication tool for our staff #### Reasons for switching to Sling not all staff wanted to be on Facebook or had Facebook. --- ### Great software for our NGO. Highly recommended. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rich S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use Sling for our NGO and it is amazing. The sling team are always helpful and implement features that are requested (conflicts!). Thanks to Sling for making amazing software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We use Sling for our NGO (Care Alliamce) and it is amazing. The sling team are always helpful and implement features that are requested (conflicts!). Thanks to Sling for making amazing software. #### Cons None that come to mind. Would be handy if it integrated into Xero booking/accounting software, I guess! #### Reasons for choosing Sling Sling product is perfect and they were helpful since we are an NGO. --- ### Easy as Pie - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nicole R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Was very happy with sling. Everything g was easy and simpler to use. Requesting time off, resting and publishing the schedules and user messaging was all a breeze with Sling. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling is easily accessible for all employees. The interface is clean and simple. Very easy to navigate schedules and clocking in/out. #### Cons Honestly not a lot of negative feedback. Could use more colors to designate different users and groupings. --- ### Perfect Solution Hospitality - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mark W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Perfect. Everyday ease of Holiday and opening up to other staff #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Budgeting Wages against Takings, Rotas and Clock in / Out #### Cons Not Being able to Link it to Bright, Could Be Slightly Cheaper for Full Version #### Reasons for choosing Sling Too Expenive to Start with, As i Used Sling in its free capacity 1st --- ### Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Hunter P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Restaurants - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Sling has scratched an itch I didn't know I had. It does everything I need it to at a decent price. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great software that ties into my pos. Free for staff makes it even better. Easy to use and easy to teach #### Cons The only thing I can think to improve would be the ability to look over various saved schedule templates easily. #### Reasons for switching to Sling Cheaper and doesn't need staff to pay for the app. --- ### A Game Changer for Our Smaller Company - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Beth H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall experience with Sling has been great. As I said earlier, its deployment has brought our company into a new age with communication, timeclocks, and scheduling. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I originally went looking for an easy, free scheduling app. I happened to find Sling and immediately loved the way I could customize positions and make schedule templates. I then saw how Sling offered a timeclock, which our company really needed. We relied on Excel sheets for our employees, so using a timeclock app was like bringing us out of the dark ages. We use the Newsfeed all the time to communicate policy and procedure changes as well. It has changed the way we interface with our employees. #### Cons I would really love to see more customization for things like the timeclocks and working hours. For example, we are an umbrella of companies. We have physical properties that are staffed with managers and assistants (Great Atlantic Management), we have a Home Office staff (Great Atlantic Companies), and we have a maintenance staff (Great Atlantic Contracting). We also have some properties that are unmanned, so we have no computers at that location. So, it would be fantastic if we can choose the mobile timeclock for just certain employees (like our Contracting crew and the unmanned helpers). Our Contracting crew also works 10 hour days, so when they request a vacation day, it needs to be a 10hr block, but I can't tell the system to use 10hrs for this position vs 8hrs for that position unless I choose the "partial day" option, which cuts down on the convenience of the app. It would be GREAT if the "Position" option allowed more features, like enable different timeclocks, enable different working times, etc. Most companies have different departments that require different hours, etc., so being able to customize this would be very helpful. #### Reasons for choosing Sling Timesheet Mobile was very customizable, so I could choose who was going to use the mobile timeclock vs a kiosk but there was not a real communication hub with them. If they had offered that feature, I probably would have went with them instead. --- ### Agency Scheduling - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chris C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's a cost effective scheduling dashboard, that I can personally recommend despite the occasional bug. It will help you organize staff and operations with a quickness - transitioning to this system was very easy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Transparent scheduling features, ease of use of the timeclock to report hours, and ability to modify reports through dates, locations, and employees. #### Cons Customer service usually doesn't have an answer for you - although they are polite - I wish that some of these bugs we encountered were ironed out sooner than later. #### Reasons for switching to Sling Quickbooks Time was clumsy from a navigation standpoint. --- ### Perfectly working as a helper for QA inspection. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Suhail H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It’s simplified planning QA inspections, helping me ensure we’re covered for critical production runs while not crossing those scheduling paths. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like Sling’s shift scheduling because I can coordinate my QA team across Suho Garmindo’s production floors, and see clearly who’s on duty. #### Cons Some automation features are lacking in the free version, and I sometimes have to spend additional time manually adjusting schedules for last-minute changes. --- ### My experience with Sling - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Muna N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for free trial - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. my overall experience is very nice and i satisfied and i like i have become organized which make my life efficient. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling is simple and easy to use for scheduling. It makes shift planning and communication more efficient. Notifications help employees stay updated on schedule changes. #### Cons Some features are limited in the free version. The app can feel slow or glitchy at times. Customization options are somewhat limited. --- ### Sling Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Camille K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Executive Office - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, I had a positive experience with Sling! I appreciated how organized and visually aesthetic the app is, and notifications about shift conditions (started, changed, removed) was nice. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I loved how easy it was to see my schedule and communicate with my team. #### Cons While this may vary based on what organization is using Sling, it was difficult at times to put in for time-off or swap shifts with others. --- ### Solid choice for scheduling - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Pawel S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I enjoyed using Sling and found it useful for whag I was trying to achieve. Scheduling was easy and team was notified of the shifts swiftly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use and functionality. The scheduling part was good and loved the way it dealt with leave and absence. #### Cons Ui was not the best but it was not the worst one I've seen among all the scheduling apps. #### Reasons for switching to Sling Too expensive but needed something similar --- ### Great employee scheduling system! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melinda M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Nothing bad to say about this software. Meets the needs of our company very well. It keeps staff organized and informed in a quick efficient manner. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use and quick to learn. The payroll and time sheet feature are my favourite! #### Cons Set up takes a little time. Adding employees when you first start up can be tedious. --- ### All in one employee communication tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ann T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling is useful scheduling tool. As an employee, I like to be able to see available shifts, as well as be reminded of upcoming shifts. It's any easy way to communicate with co-workers, having all relevant employees able to see and message each other in one place. #### Cons There are so many things that Sling can do, but I do feel that it takes some getting used to find and master all the features. --- ### Great for all! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ayishatu N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

No incentive was offered Overall, we love everything about Sling! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling makes my scheduling task a breeze. I especially like: 1) being able to copy a previously posted schedule into a future period 2) employees being able to post unavailability 3) employees being able to make time off requests 4) employees being able to view who they are working with on a scheduled day 5) the ease in changing a schedule when a sick call comes in or an employee emergency happens #### Cons I really can't think of anything I do not like about Sling. #### Reasons for choosing Sling My IT support technician gave me an article listing the top tested app based scheduling softwares after I reviewed many and was having a difficult time making a decision. Sling was his overall recommendation. Our choice was made first because of FEATURES and second because of PRICE. Features have improved since we started using Sling in July 2018. --- ### Game Changer for us. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carrie K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered In the nature of my business, it just works! I love that my employees can see who else is working where. BUT they can see who is working with them.The fees are totally afforadable! It makes life SO easy for me from what we were using before!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros What I like the most about Sling is... I used to text message all of my employees to ler ask if they can work and then again to let them know when they are working! I no longer need to do that. They all know if they cant work they do the "Time Off request" if they can never work on such day they do "Unavailible" The natrue of our business are only events so we are somewhere different every event. Sling connects the address to the date as well. Its just been a total Game Changer a fee that we can afford!! #### Cons This is a hard one! I really cant think of what I like least other than it needs to be intgrated with Apple Calendar, and the notification glitch I mentioned earlier. #### Reasons for choosing Sling Price and how much it offered. Also I am not the most patient person and I felt that Sling was pretty easy to learn! --- ### GREAT for managing many employees with unusual/atypical Shifts. Very scaleable, efficiency improves. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Marlesha K. - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros So many 'Pros'!! -- - supports multiple work sites/locations. - supports different employee roles/titles. - supports large (unlimited?) number of employees. - can 'deactivate' employees & then reinstate them at a later date (no need to delete the employee's entire profile). - There are even more 'Pros' that we haven't fully explored yet, such as employees communicating with each other through the app to arrange shift swaps, etc. So much potential!! I work at a college Math Learning Center where we provide additional assistance to students seeking extra math support. Having a scheduling app/software that can manage many employees with atypical/changing/unusual shifts is crucial!! We employ both full-time permanent staff and temporary students tutors and with our temporary staff we have a lot of turnover as students come-and-go. Thus we have changes to the schedule constantly. So for us, a dynamic system is a must. The Sling support staff is also very responsive and open to suggestions and ideas. Some of my suggestions have been incorporated, such as being able to included a 'break' duration for a shift which then is subtracted from the shift hour total. These changes have made Sling even more useful! I am so thrilled to have found this FREE scheduling web application. We don't have the budget to pay for a scheduling software/app, yet we needed a tool that could handle our very specific and complicated needs. We found it in Sling!! #### Cons - Would like to be able to add more details about each employee, such as customized checkboxes for employee 'expertise'. (There is a 'notes' section for each employee profile, which is nice.) - Be able to make tags/notes for certain dates, such as 'holiday' or 'extended day' to remind the scheduler of different scheduling needs. - Have a shift-responsibilities designation option, such as 'Opener' or 'Closer' - Would like to be able to 'collapse' some of the hours from view and/or designate a viewing window that shows only when our center is open (must be unique by location). Though being able to schedule shifts beyond 'operating hours' is needed (set-up, take-down time) but many hours before and after our operating hours don't need to be displayed. - Would like there to be a way to designate general staff 'types' (i.e. permanent vs temporary) not just different employee position. A Permanent staff member had additional responsibilities and must be staffed at all times, so being able to look at the shifts of just Permanent staff would be beneficial. - More customizable options for the print-view. All these cons, if addressed, would just be icing on the cake. The app, as it is now, is completely functional and covers all the necessities and more! --- ### Powerful time tracking tool for the team! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Angel L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall great experience! It's easy to use and very straight forward! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sling has, overall, been a revelation for my team.Our workflow and productivity have been greatly improved by its user-friendly interface, strong scheduling capabilities, seamless communication features, and effective task management tools. Sling is the program to use if you want to increase efficiency while keeping things straightforward. 10/10, highly recommended! #### Cons I didn't really see any cons at the moment. Everything is seamless so far! ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/sling-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Sling Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
