I love how I can easily look at my staff for the day on my phone and send out staffing needs immediately to all my employees throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside to makeshift is that you cannot send out announcements easily through app on phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and has a reporting feature that is useful. I like that the schedule is easy to produce and reproduce. The app is user friendly for staff to input their availability. The computer version is easy to use for supervisors and managers. I use Makeshift daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like the computer to have a way to set recurring availability for staff.
When a shift is declined- having the ability to change the messaging to staff to explain the way we allocate shifts.
Added feature-could have the ability to see staff scheduled for the day at the top of the screen or filter on the staff scheduled for the day to ease the reading of the schedule. We have a lot of staff and sometimes a lot of scrolling is required to see who is in on a particular day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our managers love the ease of the scheduling side of Makeshift. The drag and drop feature and templates feature makes the ease of schedules easy to manage.
The Available shift feature provides an easy way to fill shifts. Timeclock mode for clocking in and out makes clocking in and out quick and easy for staff. Download of the schedule and printing.
Ease of Implementation was step by step for our administration, managers and staff. Customer support has been reliable. Integration went well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have had problems with staff not being able to request time off after the schedule is posted. We have been told this will not be a problem in the future.
Not being able to see the calculations of time off and time worked calculated together on the schedules and timesheets makes it hard for administration and management to figure out if staff are being paid correctly for their time.
Not seeing annual accruals of vacation, sick, etc. makes it difficult for management to keep track of time for staff.
Not being able to see approved time offs after they have been approved unless you scan the calendars is not beneficial.
Staff are not able to approve their time cards until after the pay period is completely over and many of our staff do not work on Mondays to approve and we must complete payroll in order to pay staff.
Not being able to use the available shifts and the override feature for request offs when already scheduled at the same time is not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating templates for shifts is my most used and liked feature. Also, the ease of exchanging shifts for my employees is very easy for them to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like having to sign out of my ADP account to access the schedule since sometimes I do need to be using both accounts at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like having access to all my employees and their schedules in one location. I can look up an email or a phone number, and see all pertinent info in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PTO approvals and statements are set up on another app. I'd love to see something more comprehensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time, I cannot think of anything negative about MakeShift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the app; I think it's great for both the admin side and employee side. The scheduling is great. Like that staff can request to switch shifts, pick up shifts and request time off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That availability can be changed at any time. Makes scheduling very difficult. Some of the syncing functions don't work well; punches being locked and not being able to edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MakeShift makes the scheduling and the shift swap a breeze without me being buried in emails. The training offered when opening an account was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike about MakeShift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of creating shift scedules and the ability to have staff switch shifts and enter there preferred availabilty Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Issues with change of rates when issuing raises would like this to be able to date a rate increase and see scedule updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful thing about makeshift is how it can sync all your shifts to your personal calendar. It's great how easily you can dubplicate recurring availability without having to fill it in multiple times. The home page is well organised and provides great central access to all things you need to do on makeshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The widget for IOS is no longer available. It used to be and now since the IOS system updated you can no longer have a widget. It would be great if this could be fixed and can be user friendly both for the widget page and central homepages on IOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
