    Cool time tracker

    Date: May 27 2025
    Summary

    We have been using this software for over six months. Everything is working perfectly and smoothly. The features are cool and simple to use.

    Positive

    I like how simple it is to handle anything; the software is quite useful for businesses. There is nothing I detest about it; it is fantastic. It makes clocking in and out of work much easier.

    Negative

    There has been nothing so far. Everything runs smoothly and easily.

    A great way to track attendance and leaves.

    Updated: May 22 2025
    Summary

    It's a great so far. We've been using it for at least 6 months now and it's been great. The pictures for in and outs are also now a norm for us to dress up or get wacky pictures from time to time.

    Positive

    It's super easy to use. It's also a great way to track in/outs and the leaves of your team members to plan accordingly.

    Negative

    I don't have anything I don't like with Buddy Punch as of now.

    user friendly

    Date: Apr 22 2025
    Summary

    Great system, very easy to understand. Unfortunately we can't use the phone app, per our company. But it is very user friendly.

    Positive

    easy access
    easily understood
    My supervisor states that it's user friendly
    easy to navigate
    phone access

    Negative

    We can't use it on our phone app because it's hard to prove if we are actually in the office. A gps tracker would be handy to verify where we are at checkin and check out.

    Summary

    I like Buddy Punch. I use Buddy Punch to clock in and out at work, and it’s very easy to use. The app is straightforward, and I like that I can track my hours and check my schedule anytime. It’s also helpful to see my timesheets and know exactly how many hours I’ve worked. Sometimes the app can be a bit slow to load, but overall, it works well and makes managing my work hours simple

    Time punch

    Date: Apr 12 2024
    Summary

    I'm very happy with the app it has made it easier to manage my time better and also allows me to start working sooner instead of having to go into the office and clocking in

    Positive

    It allows me to start working on site without going to the office first. Also allows me to manage my hours more to insure that I'm getting paid for hours working. And easily requesting paid time off.

    Negative

    You must have a good signal on you phone to clock in or out so sometimes in rural areas it takes a few seconds to achieve the clock in or out

    Employee

    Updated: Apr 10 2024
    Summary

    I have great experience with teams. It does get a little frustrating especially when the punch out and punch out for break are too close together.

    Positive

    That it is convenient to do on your phone and not on the computer all the time. You can log in as soon as you walk in the office and not have to wait on other people to use the computer.

    Negative

    The one Con I see is that the punch out for break and punch out for the day needs to be not so close to each other. People accidentally punch out when they go to break.

    Precise Webcam Time Stamp.

    Date: May 09 2024
    Summary

    Buddy Punch is a pretty positive experience overall. It's a simple and straightforward tool for tracking time, which makes it easy to use for both employees and managers.
    One of the best things about Buddy Punch is its simplicity. You can easily clock in and out, request time off, and view your schedule, all from one easy-to-use interface. Plus, it's customizable, so you can set it up to fit your specific needs.

    Positive

    You know how sometimes apps can be really confusing? Well, Buddy Punch isn't like that at all. It's designed to be simple and straightforward, which means you won't have any trouble figuring out how to use it.And the setup is easy as a lemon juice.
    I like that you can easily clock in and out, just like punching a time card. But it's all digital, so you can do it right from your phone or computer. And I use it almost Everyday for work.

    Negative

    Sometimes if you're having trouble with the app or you need some help, it can be hard to find support. You might have to wait a while to get a response, and that can be frustrating if you're in a hurry to fix something. Thats the only downside i can think of.

    A few small changes could make a huge difference

    Date: Jul 26 2024
    Summary

    Overall, clocking in and out should not be that difficult. If the last day of the pay period the time is cut in half basically, how do we accumulate overtime?

    Positive

    I like the convenience of the time clock at your finger tips. I also like being able to review my time anytime.

    Negative

    I don't like that when I clock out for lunch, it doesn't specify that it's only a break.
    I don't like that it doesn't make a shift, a full shift. For instance I go in at 10pm clock out at 3am for lunch and I clock back in at 4:00. I work till 9. If it's the last day of the pay period, those 3 hours go on next pay cycle. It seems like if there was a dedicated lunch clock in and out the issue would you resolve its self
