    Positive

    Love how easy this system is to use! Makes clocking in to work so easy. Navigating the system is user friendly.

    Date: Dec 10 2024
    Summary

    My overall experience has been a very positive one. I would definitely recommend Buddy Punch to others.

    Positive

    I like how user friendly Buddy Punch is. I like that I can access it from home or at work and I can use it on my phone or computer.

    Negative

    I haven't found anything not to like so far. The system as a whole seems to work pretty well.

    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

    Already Paying for itself

    Date: Aug 01 2023
    Summary

    This is saving our company money when we need it to the most during these hard economic times. As a small business we were looking for ways to lower costs and this is definitely one of them.

    Positive

    Our management saw an immediate drop in weekly hours the following the first week of use. GPS clocking in and out keeps employees honest and brings hours down.

    Negative

    We haven't really had any problems with this system. Things are great.

    Easy to use

    Date: Sep 14 2023
    Summary

    Overall this is an easy to use program for everyone, at every level, in the office. It has an app so on the go employees can use it or you can limit it to office use only.

    Positive

    I like that there is an app that you can use anywhere for employees who aren't always in the office. I also like that you can lock the feature that allows employees to use their phone so they have to sign in from an actual computer.

    Negative

    I don't like that it makes it an option to use your camera on your phone to take a picture but you have to take a picture at punch in or punch out with the computer. It should be consistent across both platforms.

    Should have got Buddy Punch years ago

    Date: Oct 17 2023
    Summary

    Buddy Punch is very easy to use and when you need help they are there for you. They answer all questions and talk you through it.

    Positive

    This system is everything we needed and wanted. We use everyday and it does punching in and out to scheduling. We are able do do all this and more in the go or from the bakery.

    Negative

    At this time I can’t say there is any cons. I use Buddy Punch everyday and I would say that I would not change anything.

    Great way to keep track!

    Date: Oct 17 2023
    Summary

    Overall Buddy Punch is an amazing system to keep track of time cards and keeping tabs on your hours wherever you work!

    Positive

    I was introduced to Buddy Punch when I first started my job here over a year ago now and I would never go back!

    Negative

    I wish Buddy Punch would load a little faster since it takes around 4 seconds to load.

    Date: Aug 01 2023
    Summary

    Excellent customer service qualities completed in a more rapid manner. This is a very futuristic way to handle the policy.

    Positive

    Easier access to keep a timely record of attendance policy. There is a mandatory way of clocking in and clocking out plus the pay amount for each date.

    Negative

    No cons at the present time and will recommend this product to other organizations.

    Easy On the Go System!

    Date: Aug 16 2023
    Summary

    I use Buddy Punch daily, and it gives me the opportunity to punch in wherever I am. I am able to keep track of my timecard on the mobile app, and it updates automatically to the computer. As an employee who starts work in different places, this system is highly essential and easy to use.

    Positive

    Buddy Punch is super easy for the worker on the go. The system is easy to understand, and keeping track of your hours has never been more convenient. The app is a must have for workers out and about.

    Negative

    I can’t really name anything about Buddy Punch that I don’t enjoy. So far, it’s a very convenient system that allows for punches on the go, or in the workplace.

    Great and easy

    Date: Aug 01 2023
    Summary

    Overall great, direct organized and easy to use for any company or organization that would like their times calculated and arrange already for you.

    Positive

    Easy to use very direct means you can find what you are looking for can put things well organized to how want them to be.

    Negative

    There are really no cons to the app, but I tell you this, if there is cars, they must know not how to use it.

    Awesome App

    Date: Aug 21 2023
    Summary

    Very great app, would recommend to others, very easy to use, downloading it for future jobs can be a go to, I didn't find many bugs or problems, it's just good.

    Positive

    It's easy to learn, you can learn and teach others and you will quickly understand it, keeps your time at work, and you can edit times incase of a mistake.
    Spanish is also a great feature, for people that I know that don't speak English, Spanish in this app is great, helps them a lot with little problems

    Negative

    Honestly, it was great overall, I don't have many downsides or things that I disliked, my employer helped me a few times, but it was due to internet issues and not the app.
    More languages and maybe be able to find and switch languages, maybe I just couldn't find it.

    Buddy Punch review

    Date: Oct 17 2023
    Summary

    I enjoy using the automated system to punch in and out. Being able to find the exact job site your on and what type of work is being completed that day is very useful as well.

    Positive

    The ease and accessibility that the app has. It was user friendly, which is always a plus. The app is set up to be able to use without getting confused, or mixed up.

    Negative

    Service connection will interrupt the clocking in process.

    Buddy Punch

    Date: Aug 01 2023
    Summary

    Overall, this is a very easy tool to record the hours that I work.
    Once you log in, the prompts are easy to follow.

    Positive

    This tool is very easy to use. I didn't need any instructions on how to use it once I logged in. Just need to remember to hit submit two times to make sure the timesheet is actually submitted for the week. :)

    Negative

    To record parts of an hour, there should be a note to enter minutes, not parts of 100.

    Easy to figure out, perfect for our business

    Date: Jun 21 2019
    Summary

    We just wanted something that would keep all the time clocking organized and tracked so it's one less thing to worry about and Buddy Punch does exactly that.

    Positive

    The software was very easy to figure out for everyone on the team. Any issue that's been brought up is sorted quickly when I get in touch with the customer support. No weird gimmicks, just does exactly what I need it to do.

    Negative

    Some users were having issues with the app so we had a brief back and forth to fix that but after that was cleared up, zero problems.
