I don't have to go in to the office to clock in or out I can do it on my way home or on my way to work
Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Architecture & Planning
I think that the interface needs to be updated, the speed is incredibly slow at times. The changes made do not seem to stay. The reporting tools leave much to be desired.

I like that I can take photos and quick notes on the App and then can go back to my computer to provide more details to the reports. We looked at several other apps prior to buying Raken and they were no where as good.
