About this app

​HotSchedules is the industry's leading employee scheduling app because it’s the fastest and easiest way to manage your schedule and communicate with your team.

Team members love it because they can swap, pick-up or release shifts with one click. Work-life balance is easily managed with automatic shift pick ups when you want more hours and time off requests for when you don’t. Calendar sync and notifications keep your Schedules and the roster automatically updated to your phone with any manager-approved changes.

Managers appreciate the 75% time savings when building schedules and one-click approvals for shift changes. The ability to monitor business performance with sales and labor snapshots from anywhere, keeps them out of the back office. And most importantly, staying connected with broadcast and one-to-one messaging makes for a happy and productive team culture.

NOTE: The HotSchedules application REQUIRES a valid HotSchedules user account through your employer. Need help? Contact Customer Care 24x7x365

awful. just awful. Unintuitive, not user-friendly, obvious features not there especially when trying to communicate needs regarding time off and scheduling in general. Feels incredibly dumbed down. Prepare to bang your head against a wall. half the time I can't tell if a feature is missing or it's just really buggy... often can't enter information. The ability to send texts to coworkers is great, and it updates to my Google calendars really well!

Sorry to hear you're having a frustrating experience. We're working to improve usability and fix bugs, especially around scheduling and time off. We're building the option to 'Give a Shift' (direct to a team member) and allow Shift pickup to be auto-approved. Glad that calendar sync and texts are helpful-we appreciate the feedback and are listening

By far the worst app on my phone. It quit sending me emails long time ago, whatever. When I upgraded to a new phone, was the only app that didn't transfer. Called customer support, they told me it's my app store. Guess it's the app store for all the other people with the same problem. Wouldn't buy it again if they didn't 'update' their website - for the worst. Also you can't see who else is working a certain shift, no it's not just me. And since the last update it gives me an error message 🤷‍♀️

If it was free it would be fine but when forced to pay $2.99 from your minimum wage job to use this, it is complete junk. Doesn't have same features as iOS app, constantly fails to login, constant exceptions thrown so have to always restart to see your schedule (even that doesn't work half the time), no basic sharing, no availability option, no sorting, and the list goes on. Amature at best. If there were another option, this app would be defunct. Tech support pleasant but know all these issues.
