I like that I can request time off and chat with our team through this app. > > **Cons**: There’s nothing m Really I don’t like about the app. ----- ### "It’s alright" — 4.0/5 > **Emiko** | *28 May 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The design is easy and simple to see. Updates are made real time and notifications are sent. > > **Cons**: There are functionality limited to mobile, and this is extremely unhelpful when I’m working at a customer service position where I’m not supposed to look at my phone. Cons on the computer: -I cannot see who else is working when I’m not working that day. -I cannot see a list of people and their shifts the way I can view it on mobile. -When I make the window size smaller (when I have to sometimes for my work), the application won’t let me view anything. Overall cons: -Setting availability/unavailability is a nightmare. It just takes so much time, especially when my hours are variable. There must be a better way to design this. Also, this function is limited to the web app — why design the software where the functionality is half and half between different platforms? -is there a way to change the view setting to “Month”? That will make the schedule easier to see. -The notifications are exsessive — I get one when my schedule is changed, then published. For one change, I get four notifications (2 app, 2 emails). > > It’s ok. It works, and it’s what my organization is using. ----- ### "Others Programs" — 3.0/5 > **August** | *16 August 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that you can see who is all working for the week. I like how it prints out the responsibilities per each person. > > **Cons**: That you cant upload Docs for the staff to see, no files to put things for the staff to see on sales, labor or any sort of spreadsheets. You cant do the scheduling on your mobile device. You cant see the reason why people have took off via mobile > > I think this could be a great program, as I have used other ones. This one I think could really advance and make it great. I have tried to reach out to customer service and just get sent to the web page for the answers, which havent been in there. I think there is more things this program could do to make it a one stop shop. I wish it would link to a calander ect, or you would be able to upload files, Docs ect for the staff to see. ----- ### "Just what I need, all in one place" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *31 May 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Communication feature - direct messages to specific colleague(s) Manage time off requests which then show in schedule Mobile version - inc notifications on shifts Coverage graph (able to see how many colleagues scheduled per hour/per day) Best of all, it has a FREE version > > **Cons**: Some limited functionality on mobile version. For example, can only manage/create schedules on pc version. Time off requests need to be managed on pc version as this way allows to view existing time off to prevent allowing too many staff off. On mobile version, this is difficult to manage. Can't track holiday allowances - possibly icing on the cake Generally though, con's are hard to argue because it is free and it does just what I need it to do > > The biggest benefit to myself is managing time off requests, I no longer need to remember when a colleague has asked for time off. They use the app, submit request, I review and there it is in the schedule. No more allowing too many colleagues off at same time and mistakingly scheduling on time off. Another benefit is less pressure to complete a schedule, I do my schedules at home so I no longer need to rush to ensure all staff see it in store, I have a little extra breathing space because as soon as I hit publish, my colleagues instantly have the schedule in their hands. ----- ### "Great product and great company" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *28 May 2019* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and navigate. Support is always quick to help when we have an issue. They gladly take our feedback on improvements and listen when we make suggestions. > > **Cons**: That we can't incorporate all of it into our system. They have a time/attendance but since we have a POS system that does that, we haven't used that portion. > > Was looking for an alternative to excel schedules that we've used for 20 years. Found OpenSimSim on a search, tested it out and loved it. Our search criteria was mainly, what will benefit the employee and the store the most. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/105835/opensimsim?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/105835/opensimsim) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
