[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. --- ### 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. --- ### Great tool but a little limiting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kylee M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Sling has been great. While there are some limitations on how we can schedule, the information we can apply, and reports being minimal, it's a great scheduling tool. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Sling is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of testing time. You can pick it up pretty quickly. I like the ability to filter through employees, groups, locations, etc. It's also easy to look at past schedules. #### Cons It's getting more expensive as our team grows, as it's priced per employee. We also can't schedule based on skill. (Ex. forklift driver, etc.) --- ### 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 --- ### A Streamlined Timeclock System for Billable Contractor Hours - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Susan L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 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: 5/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The timeclock system is very easy to use, and you can effortlessly apply filters to execute payroll and AR procedures. #### Cons The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Not all agents are bad [Thank you [sensitive content hidden] for saving us!], but most of the time the responses are generic, and provide no real solution. #### Reasons for choosing Sling The walkthrough and trial period Sling provided allowed us to test run their system, and identify that they were a match - thank you [sensitive content hidden]! #### Reasons for switching to Sling Quickbooks Times is a clumsy system. There's too many modifications you need to make to execute payroll efficiently, and that affects billing for those contractor hours as well. --- ### 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. --- ### User Friendly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chad H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I believe Sling has reduced the amount of employees missing work or being late for work. Ability to make announcements to all of our employees to ensure our message gets out. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Being able to copy and paste the schedule weekly saves time when making a schedule. In my department alone I have 87 employees. The unavailability feature is great so that as managers we can ensure we are scheduling people when they are available. This reduces the amount of time we would need to make adjustments to schedules if we scheduled someone when they were not available. The messaging and announcement feature is great so that we can send out a group message to get an announcement out to all associates. Also being able to send private messages to employees is great so we do not have to give our personal phone number out to all employees. #### Cons Not being able to delete private messages. We can archive the messages but cannot delete them. We have to archive each one individually which is time consuming. Also when we want to delete an announcement we have to check two boxes and then hit delete. Would be better if we could just click on the announcement or multiple announcements and hit delete. #### Reasons for choosing Sling When we started the process of opening our store knowing that we would have close to 600 employees throughout multiple departments I knew we would need some sort of scheduling software. Our other location which is much smaller in operation was using Excel for each department. I had roughly 200 associates in my department when we first opened. I searched online for a scheduling software and came across Sling. After using the free version I realized this would be perfect for our store. I brought it to our General Manager and he agreed that we should use this software. We have been using it store wide in all departments now for about a year and a half. --- ### Extremely easy, inexpensive, and comprehensive scheduling tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zack M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Extremely positive; we were lacking an online scheduler and mobile access for about 2 to 3 years and the use of Sling made scheduling much easier (versus pen and paper) and reduced issues due to accidental missed shifts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I looked through several scheduling tools before settling on Sling. This included simple Excel sheets, Homebase, and When I Work. I settled on Sling because of the wide array of features for no cost and mobile app access. The mobile app experience, per my team, was easy and extremely convenient. I personally was impressed with the ease of the drag-and-drop scheduler. #### Cons About the only issues I had with the software was the occasional challenge to invite a new user. We haven't used it in a while now, but the only problem was that it seemed hard to resend the invite email to download the app. That being said, I think it was only because there are a lot of features in the software, and it can be a little challenging to do once specific task simply because it can take a minute to find it. #### Reasons for choosing Sling More features for no cost; it was important that it not cost anything as it was a temporary product during a company transition. --- ### Scheduling Tool Perfection - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dana O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Veterinary - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We tried to move from Sling to another product and ultimately went back to Sling. It is extremely user friendly, can handle the crazy scheduling needs for our complex hospital, as well offers an employee database. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Super easy to create recurring schedules for the team, keep track of time off requests, and fill in gaps in scheduling when necessary. #### Cons The only thing I wish Sling could do is copy singular shifts and "paste" them somewhere else. The app/website offers a repetitive function, but for the shifts that only re-occur occasionally this would make scheduling much more efficient. #### Reasons for choosing Sling Sling met the needs of our complex hospital and was more user friendly. --- ### Sling Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jackie I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Restaurants - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2025 - 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 I love how it’s an easy form of communication between an internal teaming! Helping to stay connected to people in the company easier is key! #### Cons I can’t think of something I don’t like about it! Perhaps if it had a calling option! --- ### 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. --- ### Employee Perspective - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ellie S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - 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. Sling is easy to navigate and use as an employee. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Allowing unavailability to be completely customized and overlaid with the schedule #### Cons The inability to edit time off requests. --- ### Sling For the Win - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: SAm S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 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: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Having access to all the things I'm into anywhere I go. #### Cons Sometimes it can freeze up or have some minor UI bugs. --- ### Sling Low, Sweet Chariot - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ronnie T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I think the best way to describe our experience with Sling is by relaying the following series of events. We were aware that we were losing money due to inefficient scheduling, so much so that our board of directors authorized us to spend $500 for a consultant to come provide us with a better way to operate. While the consultant had some decent ideas, they were not actionable. We decided to try out Sling. Now that we have started using it and upgraded to the premium version, we are spending less annually to have all our scheduling handled by Sling than we paid a consultant for a day's worth of work. The cost of implementing Sling was far, far outweighed by the savings that it brought us. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Sling has taken away the need for us to have a dedicated employee spend 15-20 hours a week on employee scheduling. We are a relatively small non-profit, and as such we have multiple employees who routinely have to work outside their specialty/field of expertise in order to keep us afloat. One area that we have consistently had issues with is scheduling and tracking employees and volunteers. With multiple sites and multiple managers, we were losing money because we were doubling up on many shifts. It was not until we implemented Sling that we were able to effectively manage our employees schedule to provide us with the most return on our investment and our customers with the best service. #### Cons We started out using the free version of Sling. Because we have less than 50 employees, this suited us fine at first, but there were options we did not have access to. We quickly realized that the limitations imposed by the free version could easily be solved by upgrading to the minimally priced premium version. --- ### Sling Software Saved Me So Much Time! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Courtney M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Relations - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have used Sling for a few years now -- it meets my needs and goes above an beyond for the products it offers to the user. Sling support staff have been responsive to my needs and questions. A Great Product! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Above all, I love that Sling has saved me so much time when making the schedule for my employees! Used to take 3-4 hours, now it only takes me approximately 1 hour to create a weekly schedule. Sling is accessible by computer and by mobile application. I love that it has many different colors for the different shifts that I need to create. Love that I can copy and paste shifts. #### Cons I wish that the mobile application gave me a total count of hours for each employee. When approving an employee to pick up an extra shift, I currently need to go to a computer to see to total count of hours for that individual before I can approve. Wish I could see total count of hours on my phone, so that I can approve when I am initially notified (which is usually an app notification to my phone). #### Reasons for choosing Sling I liked the color associated with the shifts and the price point. :) --- ### 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! --- ### Great scheduling system for decentralized team - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jamie W. - Industry: Events Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our schedule and our employees' availabilities are fluid. Sling! is able to keep up without even breaking a sweat. My employees love the mobile app, which can push reminders about scheduled shifts. I love that my employees show up on time, because Sling! can push reminders about scheduled shifts. I managed to get by before I discovered Sling!, but I honestly can't remember how. I'm able to spend so much more time doing the work now that I don't have to chase my employees down to get them scheduled to work. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The mobile app is what makes this package great. My employees love the push notifications when new shifts are posted. We have a variable schedule and a student workforce. Our MO is to post available shifts when we need people to work. Sling! lets our students apply for as many or as few shifts as they like. We can then approve individuals to put our team for the day together based on the skills of those who have applied and the needs of the tasks at hand. #### Cons There is no view available that visually groups like time blocks into shifts. Our shifts don't follow a set schedule, but we often need more than one person to work the same time block on a given day. There are now several features to help you save time when scheduling things like this. For example, you can copy shifts to avoid having to enter all of the same details multiple times, and you can select several different positions when creating a shift, but once created, each person shows up as their own event on the schedule. If I've got a half dozen different people working for each of four different time blocks on a single day, the calendar starts to get a little overwhelming with 24 separate events represented. If there was a way to group like time blocks into shifts with multiple employees assigned, this example would be down to 4 separate events, which is much easier to quickly get your head around. --- ### Sling - Simplistic, Yet Effective - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sam J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great experience. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have used other apps that work just as good as this one that had maybe one or two more features. Other than that, I am very happy with sling and how easy it is to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The ease of use for this app is great. It is very simple and your eyes are directed at exactly what you're looking for. Simplistic look is what I'm trying to say. Not just the looks are simple, though. It is very easy to navigate, review schedules, timecards, communicate with your team, etc. #### Cons I genuinely can't think of anything off the top of my head. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/sling-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Sling Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
