Great concept but poor execution of digital schedules/timesheets **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2017 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like that everything is digital and almost all of it (timesheets, schedules, contacts) are downloadable. There's a lot that in principle is great for streamlining the retail experience. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** On my iPhone (a 5C), I found the app to be sluggish at best, and almost non-functioning at worst. Screens would take FOREVER to load, and in some respects horrendous to navigate. A good example of this is the (again a great idea) daily/weekly "to-do list" section that managers can set up for employees. There is NO way to organize and sort the lists to most current or recently added. I literally would have to scroll through almost a year's worth of lists just to find the one for my specific shift so I could work through it. Also, almost all of my other associates, who had different phones, be it other iPhone models or non-Apple brands, had the exact same issues. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** I would say my store only partially used Jolt, and I feel that it's an app that requires you to REALLY utilize it fully, or don't even bother. Because the sheer time spent just opening and trying to use the app (again I found it to be sluggish and at times glitchy or non-responsive), makes it almost worthless to use. It has a lot of features that I think are GREAT in concept, but the execution at the time that I used it I found to be poor. I qualify this, though, by saying that my store manager also clearly didn't utilize the app effectively. Associates were required to fulfill tasks in the "lists" section, but we never knew if these were ever confirmed or checked by our store manager (I was told by a couple of shift managers that they never were). **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provided another avenue for me to find my schedule and keep track of my hours as an associate, as well as gave me access to other coworkers in case I needed to get a hold of someone else whenever a particular issue arose. ### 18. Jolt **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt is an innovative program that helps managers set tasks and schedule **What do you dislike about Jolt?** It is not intuitive.
