Workday for Negative User Reviews

L am over thisI am over having to change my password every three mouth. When app will not working half of the time..Version: 2022.31.0.299788

Plant managerNot clear how to book vacation for half day for am or pm..Version: 2023.44.4

Frustratingly UnintuitiveNavigating ones way around this whole ‘workday learning’ application is difficult, illogical and a frustrating time waster. There must be a far easier way for staff to access company mandated online learning. As it is at present, it’s a very unpleasant and unfriendly learning environment that is forced upon otherwise willing staff members. ps: what is this ‘nickname’ rubbish ?!? You obviously DONT want feed back, beit it positive or otherwise !!.Version: 2019.16.0.153914

Freezes, severely limited functionalityConstantly freezes on me for no reason. Functionality is barebones - cannot check how much leave I have when booking, instead I have to log into the desktop version. Why even bother making an app? They could literally have just placed the desktop app into a web container and called it a (work)day.Version: 2022.47.0.463308

Good but limitedThe app is actually easier to navigate than desktop. I would like to delete and flag notifications. Maybe a swipe left to delete etc. Not easy to find what you need easily. When approving holiday I need to see who is off within the team before scheduling I can only do this in calendar view which frustrating to navigate if going through requests via inbox. Thanks.Version: 2018.15.0.9150513

Can’t get payslips off the appGreat that I can see my payslips in the app, but I can’t get them out of the app. It gives me the option to print, email, etc. but none of those options actually work. Would be great if this could get fixed in the next release..Version: 2019.40.0.388038

CrashingIt keeps crashing whenever I try to connect..Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Not workingIt will not work on my iPad to view my work schedule. I go to team member portal and it says that there is no network there. Then it works for a bit then it doesn’t and it drives me crazy..Version: 2023.46.0

Not greatToo many “clicks” to get where you can see the whole picture.... for techs it’s frustrating for managers it’s so much of a hassle I’d rather do it all by hand! The worst part is the time crunching for techs. Looking to approve on call work, PTO time off, holidays, and/or instances of working outside of or longer than the normal work day schedule is nearly impossible. I used to be able to pull all of my techs up on a two week calendar view and review everyone’s time cards in one go, or drill down to individuals as needed. Now I get a date to one side that will skip around time blocks for PTO, weekends or holidays without showing why there’s a gap there unless you read another section somewhere else that says PTO was taken... good luck find that time off easily because that’ll take you three clicks to find on another screen that you have to write down or memorize when you go back to the time card you’re trying to approve. In short this program needs a lot of work to be easy to use..Version: 2020.35.0.348411

Time wasterWhy can you only enter time in blocks of one hour? One 5 hour task must be entered five times at one hour each. I don’t get paid for the time it takes me to enter my times in Workday so why does it have to be so time consuming? You can’t copy and paste an entry. This app doesn’t even have basic functionality. Workday is an extra burden for the whole organisation that has no payoff..Version: 2023.41.0

This app does not workIt stays loading forever.Version: 2022.10.0.85260

Too many clicks required slows down data entryFar too many clicks are required to enter time or to make changes to time categories. It really bogs down the process and is very tedious. For example, I accidentally entered 8h per day for a week of vacation but categorized the time wrong. There's no way to make a change to a single day and propagate that to the rest of the week automatically. Furthermore, when you change the time caregory, the hours for that day reset to zero. Why?! That's just sadistic. I had to go back and essentially recreate every day. What makes it worse is that you have to click in a field twice to make it editable: once to activate the field, and once to select the value you want to change. Asinine!.Version: 2021.21.0.201177

Not really user friendly and really frustrating.While I've had training the program isn't naturally intuitive. Instead of offering menus etc and easily understandable ways of using the programs it seems to be designed with someone with a lot more computer sense and perhaps the intuition used in coding. The average schlub who uses this will not find it self explanatory like many other programs. If PayPal or other programs like this used this sort of format for the average or below average user it would never be the giant it is now. Please make these things easy and usable for an idiot. Someone of us must use this program and find it extremely frustrating yet want to get paid so we can afford to take classes to make us less stupid. Thank you..Version: 2023.14.0.135143

PainSuffering.Version: 2024.01.0

Don’t get itA whole lot of work and expense for a product that delivers so little..Version: 2020.42.0.417610

Updated app yesterday and now it crashes constantlyAfter update yesterday, the app crashes every time I launch it. Have tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still crashes every time..Version: 2023.08.0.77238

UnbearableIncredibly slow and laborious to use. Repetitive tasks take ages to load between each step, and the app feels unresponsive throughout. It's like torture and legitimately one of the reasons I'm considering leaving my job. I hate it!.Version: 2018.51.0.30568627

Always have trouble using it. Never smoothPlease make it more customer friendly..Version: 2024.01.0

Why does it forget who I am when updating?Every time I update the app it forgets that this is my device. My fingerprint and pin info are gone. It’s bad enough that you can’t check your own roster on your phone without 2 factor authentication. I basically need 2 factor authentication every time I use this app on my iPad because it’s a rarely used app..Version: 2022.17.0.161016

Not an intuitive systemTakes about 6 attempts to even start courses. The system doesn’t follow a logical flow. 'Enroll' should take you to a screen with a live button that states 'Start Course' and this should go straight to the first (Introduction?) module. As it is it's very confusing as to when you actually get to start the course and then what is the 'Submit' button at the end next to a comment box for? This button should state 'Click to Submit Completion' (or similar) and then once that is done there should be an opportunity to comment..Version: 2019.24.0.235595

Needs some workNeeds improvements would like to be able to save log on credentials to avoid entering each time using and also be able to enter RDOs for future even though hours aren’t yet accrued just like annual leave..Version: 2020.35.0.348411

Service tech JCITerrible app, no explanations on how to use,did I mention terrible app?not quite sure what my company is trying to use this for , did I mention terrible app?Saw a golfer on TV with the WORKDAY app on his shirt, I am certain he’s not using this,. I asked my manager for half day off, work 4 hours in morning, take 4 hours off in afternoon. App only allows whole days off,nowhere can I put in hours I want off, 4,6,812, hours, just not a user friendly App,no accommodations for Bereavement time off, just another smooth talking APP SALESMAN, pushing down corporate throat. Did I mention terrible APP?, This will be a short lived app, certainly there is an app developer out there that will come up with a better solution then this WORKDAY APP. You can reach out to me, I can help you build a App that is user friendly with the working people of the world..Version: 2020.09.0.83510

Most difficult appNever had so much trouble with a scheduling and time tracking app as I do with workday. It’s just as difficult through a company desktop that’s on our network, as it is on my app. It periodically logs me out when my sign in credentials haven’t changed- so I rarely get an accurate clock-in. And it’s nearly impossible to submit sick hours (even when you have the balances). The PTO request times out and is virtually impossible to complete. Even my HR dept has the same issues on the corporate side, and tells me to “try again later.” I’ve wasted hours across days just trying to submit time I’m owed. Awful service- I wish my company would change time tracking software..Version: 2022.31.0.299788

WDStaff struggle to log in and find it difficult to navigate.Version: 2017.20.177.208511

HorriblePas instinctif, compliqué pour rien. Incapable de voir des informations importantes. Trop de notifs inutiles. Banque de congés ridicule qui nous oblige à faire des calculs etc etc etc… Je n’aime rien de ce système..Version: 2024.01.0

Not greatKeeps kicking me out of the app and saying my account is incorrect but I can login on the computer smh.Version: 2023.46.0

Clocking In/Out Shouldn’t Be So ComplicatedCan Workday hire me to create their clock in/out process and what it would appear on screen to users? The current one can be simplified by reducing the number of windows and screens that users has to navigate in order to clock in and out for the day and breaks. Also, just make it plain and simple by listing “check in time”, then a row below that would be the “15-min break”, the row below that would be “lunch”, and finally the row below that would be the time you clock out for the day(“out”). Instead, it currently shows as an example: 8:00-8:31 (meal), the row below shows 9:01-2:15 (meal)... not efficient. Each day I get confused because that’s hard to read, I end up making some mistake as a result, then I email my supervisor to adjust it to the correct time which is a waste of her time. Please fix this, thanks!.Version: 2018.43.0.25664090

Shiny but very limited tool, not fit for purposeUnless you want to submit a holiday request for a single day I’d struggle to recommend this app. The desktop app is fairly counter intuitive with poorly thought out navigation and UI but this app is so poor you can open a time off request but can’t cancel it - it’s like it taunts you by letting you view but not change your data. So basically having spent 10 minutes in various ways of navigating to the same data I’ve concluded the app can’t do it so back to desktop tomorrow..Version: 2018.43.0.25664090

UnintuitiveHas great potential but is ruined a terrible end user experience. It all works well, if you know how to do things. It’s a bit like trying to learn a new language when it should be comprehensive for all, including infrequent basic users. As a result, data captured is often inaccurate and limited..Version: 2022.17.0.161016

It is not intuitiveI find myself wasting far far too much time staring at the Workday screen thinking “I know I can find the answer to my question on Workday but I can’t for-the-life-of-me find the way to it”. Until this is resolved, I’m afraid it is a 2star from me... potentially great, but hugely frustrating unless you are a regular user or have the time to invest in exploring what’s in here and how to find it (eg using a different colour scheme for areas on the App screen where there is click through functionality would help... otherwise, how are users supposed to “know where to click”). It’s just NOT intuitive. I’m currently looking at a 13 page user guide on how to log do a monthly 1:1 check in.... says it all really (THIRTEEN PAGES!!).Version: 2020.25.0.243166

0 starsTerrible app. Always freezing. Can’t print my t-4..Version: 2024.04.0

Poorest app design everPoor performance, inconsistent UI, even basic functionality is unreliable, like logging in. An app like this is proof of incompetent engineering management. Avoid at all cost. If forced to use: keep whining until your company switches to another product. This is just a constant source of headache..Version: 2023.11.0.109039

Seems to stall on load?Not sure if it’s just the latest version but it’s crashing all the time for me...Version: 2020.05.0.34104

SubparI only use workday because it’s what my employer chooses to use. Now we have to use workday to clock in and out of work and let me tell you it’s the worst system for time keeping. Everyone uses their personal phone to clock in and out and about 80% of the time not only do I experience this but as well as a lot of my colleagues when clocking in or out it always says move to your location even if you are in the building and on Wi-Fi. And especially if Wi-Fi is turned off on your phone it always says move closer to your location. When It does that you can’t clock in and out. All the other features of workday are okay and nothing to be impressed with. Just my personal experience and opinions..Version: 2023.46.0

Doesn't workSo I can like load the app and select the company I work for and stuff but it just sits loading forever and I can't actually get into the app which doesn't help..Version: 2019.13.0.124736

Team members on leaveWould be great to see other team members on my shift when booking leave. As you can do on the computer. So I know I can actually take time off as we are only allowed 2 off at a time. Can we add this next update pls.Version: 2021.51.0.501416

This Ap needs Face ID!! Such a hassle to log in!!Such a hassle to log in. With most other secure apps using Face ID or finger print recognition, why do I have to go through the workday sign in process, takes too long!! Needs to be more user friendly making it quick and easy to log in. I can access my bank accounts far quicker than I can access Workday!!.Version: 2023.09.0.83546

Not good experienceThere are lots of quirks in the business logic and the UI of the application making it counter intuitive. There are multiple ways to achieve the same result but each one of them doesn’t give the same outcome unless you tweak hidden parameters you need to know about. An easy example is the holiday balance. Unless you select the last day of the work year the balance you are presented with is irrelevant. Needs a lot of work to streamline the experience.Version: 2020.30.0.294610

Absolute crap.When you register it signs you in ok and it works to a point, but if you leave it a few days and try to get back in it locks you out, it tells you your password is incorrect, then when you try to recover your password it tells you the answer to your secret question is wrong. It is too buggy to be messing around with, sort it out, I have deleted the app to save me getting so frustrated at such a piece of rubbish..Version: 2022.25.0.239460

Corporate SpywareUsed by employers to spy on its workers.Version: 2023.44.4

Zero starsAbsolute garbage app, a preschooler could make a better functional app..Version: 2023.46.0

Abysmal backup for new system for new hire and I9I recently hired a new technician and the new onboarding system through my day was absolutely appalling . No one could help me navigate the system and it got compounded when I called the so called cvs health help number - I spent one hour trying to get a real person as the prompts did not include or say help with On Boarding a new colleague- instead I had to put in my ss number my date of birth !!! How incompetent and inefficient . When I finally got though yo a person she was not trained enough to help me . As a pharmacy manager it was a nightmare trying to run my store and deal with all this too I feel you need to make our lives simpler - please take away the hiring process from us and give us an hr department that will do all the leg work for us.Version: 2023.44.4

Consistently unable to loginConstantly experiencing issues when trying to login. There is no indication of any activity after clicking NEXT, and it often freezes, crashes, or says that I have successfully been logged out. Very very frustrating when trying to approve time off requests for a large team. Same issues on my old iPhone 12 Pro Max, and newer 14 pro max..Version: 2023.46.0

Simple use, difficult log in...I am unaware of the multiple uses of Workday. My primary use of this app, and the primary use explained by my job site, is for viewing paychecks. Our paychecks are direct deposit and this is our only access to view deductions and payments. I have never had a single attempt for an easy log on. The PIN number access changes, the password changes, we’ve gone to an additional Authenticator app to got thru to Workday that times out before you can get number and get back to Workday, and have access denied. I recently made many efforts to write passwords and keep track of the many changes Workday puts me through to view details of my paycheck. I voted one star only to make sure my comment gets a post. If you’ve read this far, zero stars is my true rating..Version: 2019.42.0.414150

The latest update crashes on iPhonesI’m unable to use the workday app, in the latest update the app crashes on most of the iPhones. PLEASE FIX!! 👎🏻.Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Je détesteJe déteste cette application! Non conviviale! On parle d’absence quand il s’agit de congé! En plus, on les calcule en heures et non en jours! C’est quoi l’idée? Ça complique franchement la gestion de notre présence au travail!.Version: 2023.44.4

Next pay dateAverage app but unable to get the next pay date to actually sync and display correctly, showing date of original pay date..Version: 2018.50.0.29970850

I can’t even.I don’t know the problem is but I’ve had it with this app. It worked fine for me for a couple of months and then somewhere it went to hell. I use it to clock in and out for work and a month ago it randomly (or so I thought) stopped recognizing my password. You can’t retrieve your pw and to change your pw you have to know your current password which I do but apparently the Workday app doesn’t agree. I couldn’t get in on the website either because it wouldn’t recognize my pw. A couple of days later IT was able to reset my password which I wrote down. Two weeks after that, same deal. PW randomly stops working on the ap and I can’t log in online either. After 2 more days of not being able to clock in or out of work IT gives me a new password again. I went to the Apple Ap store and looked up the version history for the app and compared it to my IT call log and yup, for the last two times when they’ve updated the version it somehow fubars my password or whatever madness it manages to do. I’m able to log in with my new password on the Workday website but not the app because it still won’t recognize my password..Version: 2020.09.0.83510

Bad applTerrible!.Version: 2023.46.0

Absolutely the worst appI hate this app so much! it is so not user friendly. it keeps asking you to log in even though it is supposed to remember your information. it says you can sign in the biometrics but you have to set it up each time. it is so hard to find information you need and virtually impossible to change any information that needs updating. i would delete this app in an instant but my work requires it. completely frustrating every single time i use this..Version: 2024.01.0

This app it the worstI truly believe the new CEO of our company has some stocks in this app. It’s very confusing. It takes forever to log in at work. It takes forever to clock in or out. I don’t know how to use my Holliday pay. I can’t figure out how to put in person sick time. I am Not sure if I am actually getting paid for the work I do. The pay check comes to me up to 3 days late now. I don’t need all those different icons ... just let me see what hours I have to use, what I have used, and how I can apply my earned paid time off or vacation pay. I can’t fine any brake down my weekly checks? Did I get the extra money from open a CC? Or did I get cheated? Why didn’t the managers go through this as a new system update so we know how to work it? Very user UNFRIENDLY! Terrible system. I don’t know where to turn for help. HR? Labor Board? The ASM at my store made it very clear we could not ask questions about this at work unless we punched out of work day. I wish I could give this 0 starts! Terrible Terrible system!! 👎👎👎👎👎.Version: 2021.35.0.342659

Absolutely terribleRequired to use this for work. Always having to revert to using within a browser as the app only loads past the login screen 1 out of every 5 tries..Version: 2022.10.0.85260

A lot of glitches. No program codes applicable.A lot of glitches, especially when it comes to changing times from AM to PM A bit frustrating.Version: 2021.29.0.282068

Strongly dislike this appI used to be able to download my pay stubs not print so was not killing trees. Anything I seach for like pay stubs as they are hard to find gives anybodys name that works for or has worked there with the word pay. What in the world it is oneof the biggest things it is supposed to be used for. Then when you do find it it is the worst layout ever. Example 1. 100 dollars for hours worked yet no idea how many hours that was would have to do the math to figure that out. Example 2. At my company we earn PTO by hours worked my old pay stub would tell me how much I earned this pay pieroid now I just get a lump some of my pto bank not quite as usefull for me to make sure it is actually the right amount. I feel more Vulnerable to hackers as now they just have to hack one app to get thousands of peoples Info and still IDs. I trully hope your company will not force you to use this useless hard to use app..Version: 2020.15.0.140881

New updateThe new update constantly crashes. Cannot login as it crashes as soon as the login is complete..Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Workday is the worst thing in the worldThank you for screwing up my 20 years of effort to lead a world renown research program in the field of the leukaemia..Version: 2024.01.0

Workday App UserWorkday is definitely powerful! But it fails to simplify user experience. There are far too many places to go if you are trying to find something. User experience should be seriously simplified..Version: 2023.19.0.189692

Bad user experienceI find this app to be pretty bad to use as a member of staff of a company. I keep getting in trouble for issues being caused by the user interface. When courses are sent out I keep having errors show up telling me Iv completed the courses and even when I complete the course sometimes it may revert to a previous nave and not update itself on their end. you then have to venture into the system to complete more tasks. The fact people think this is fine is beyond me. All the while it tells you that you have done everything and management will put the blame on you and say it works fine while it’s legit broken.Version: 2020.25.0.243166

More user input improvements requiredYou could improve the user experience by allowing a default to be set for common items as it’s still quite mandraulic. Certainly for the most common time booking, a default type and length would be helpful..Version: 2023.41.0

It’s ok but not greatSluggish response at best. The interface seems to need to update as you answer questions on forms takes forever to display. Virtually frustrated all the time..Version: 2021.29.0.282068

How many password resets are needed?Need to reset app password every three months. Have to reset mobile pin (or Face ID) on the same period too. I have a unique password for every service I use so it seems like overkill and is very annoying..Version: 2020.51.0.508104

Login, logins and loginsGood: Quite handy, having the org chart in hand and for finding their contacts. Annoying: Not keeping credentials and kept on asking to login every time I used it..Version: 2018.35.0.20803157

ConfusingNot user friendly.Version: 2023.46.0

Hard to navigateTerrible UI, and not user friendly on desktop or mobile. On top of that, the mobile app is unresponsive and slow. I wish my employer would use any other system for us to complete trainings and track time. We can’t view schedules on the app, and the time off request function is confusing and just does not work properly. We can’t even complete some necessary actions anywhere outside of a company computer. While I realize some of this is the fault of my employer and not Workday, the frustrating nature of the program does not help. While the management team and employees have the ability to communicate through workday, we all just text each other rather than bother with this time consuming and messy program..Version: 2021.13.0.119040

Continual log in issuesI have a large team of staff who all have issues their passwords working only once before needing to be reset on their next log on. Very frustrating for staff relying on this app for payslips. Leave request work for some and not others even though the same process has been used..Version: 2019.47.0.467829

Expérience épouvantableCette application est à la limite de l’inutilisable. Les menus ne sont pas adapté en français ce qui veut dire que souvent les phrases sont coupées par le manque d’espace Étant donné que le mot de passe est demandé à tous les sept jours d’inactivité - logique selon moi que l’application soit souvent utilisée aux sept jours pour l’entrée d’heures de travail, le menu qui demande l’utilisation de FaceID pour éviter à rentrer le mot de passe est insultant.Version: 2024.01.0

Applying for annual leave doesn’t work.The app itself isn’t too bad but when applying for leave it won’t let me apply for Friday’s off. I’ve tried multiple times all throughout the year and it says that “Friday’s are an invalid date in AUS.”. It makes no sense and is very frustrating..Version: 2023.24.0.4434

2013.8.0.77238 versionSince this update, will not work.Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Lots of troubleAlways always having trouble logging in, does not accept password, every couple of months it’s on the blink, if I could use it all the time I would say something better but I can’t so there is nothing good to write. Useless useless useless!!!! There should be a negative rating..Version: 2017.38.177.386061

Zero for user experienceI’ve worked on user interface technology for years and this is NOT a user friendly system. Navigation should be visually clear and efficient. If multiple clicks are required to access basic information, this is not efficient..Version: 2020.09.0.83510

Can’t Edit Itemizations for “In Progress” ReportsFor whatever reason, this app only allows editing of line items in expense reports (like adding receipts or changing amounts) when the report is in the “Draft” stage, but not the “In Progress” stage. I’m not sure what the difference is between those two, because the non-app interface allows for editing of line items regardless of “Draft” or “In Progress” status. I like the app because it doesn’t stall out when uploading a receipt (unlike Chrome and Safari). I don’t like the app because my expense reports are drafted by my employer, so all of them are “In Progress” when I begin adding receipts and changing amounts..Version: 2022.25.0.239460

Not user friendly for AdministratorsAs an Administrator, I supervise Supervisors and their staff. I have to provide coverage and need the ability to print out staff timesheets to which there is no ability for me to print timesheets of staff 2 tiers below me, only those I immediately supervise. Additionally, the preview pane does not provide all the necessary info. needed to approve timesheets (ie. for worktags required for teleworking status); therefore, I have to first go to all staff, then go to my org chart, then find the staff, click on review timesheet to check worktags, and THEN go back to approve timesheets. And I should add that when staff have to print their timesheets for me, the worktags don’t print out. Awesome! This seems completely unnecessary. This review is primarily for Workday in general, as the app offers even less options that make it even more user unfriendly..Version: 2020.31.0.306347

Workday reviewWorkday is a joke.Version: 2024.04.0

Worst UX for booking Time OffVery poor user experience for viewing and understanding one’s own balance of leave (booked/requested/remaining/etc). Balance only shown in hours meaning users have to switch to a calculator to work out days remaining. Leave balance vs leave requests are about six menu clicks away from each other in different parts of the app. When making a request it doesn’t show what balance that leaves. End of period balance doesn’t subtract approved future days so you have to go back to the calendar screen and count all your approved futures days through the whole year ahead in order to know how many days you have remaining to book..Version: 2021.47.0.464698

So very buggyI’ve had issues with this app for well over a year now and still waiting for an update that will solve the issues. The most obvious problems start with log-in. Despite always electing to have FaceID and/or a pin, Workday can’t seem to make either of them work and will inevitably require typing a password and ask me to re-up these features every time, very annoying. Once logged in, submitting simple expense reports gets very cumbersome with tags upon tags upon tags and is met with errors which make no sense (i.e. “Too many request submitted”) when only one is in the works, and the errors also give no indication on how to fix them. This app looks nice on the surface but is broken and buggy on the inside..Version: 2021.45.0.442122

ExpensesNot very fluid do not know if expenses were submitted.Version: 2023.46.0

Not bad, could do betterThe app is ok. The one thing that annoys me after all of this time that other platforms does was the option for calendar syncing. Other platforms if you book annual leave it then adds it to your system calendar so you can see it with everything else, wish Workday did that. If they did that if would be a much better app.Version: 2023.44.4

The worstNot user-friendly at all. Also, because it’s so finicky, it rejects a lot of things and leads to errors in pay. There’s also no support from the company behind it..Version: 2024.01.0

Non je n’aime pas workday. Je voudrais avoir mon talon de paître sur papier!!! À toute les semaines. Puis demander des vacances à travers une application alors que tu as ton patron dans face à tout les jours. Je trouve sa vraiment impersonnel!!! Je parle à une machine au lieu de lui !

MrThis is not real stories and real values. We are busting our butts of to carry this company , if you want a real answers , come and work with us for a month and see how stressed and pushed to the limit. Most times no lunch breaks as well as trying to do the work of two people with one.. Come down and see why we’re breaking down.. HR have been taken off site who are ment to be here for the staff but you need a bus to go and see them. Come on and see how the people who hold this place together are SUFFERING...Version: 2023.24.0.4434

Ios 16.3.1 app crashesJust updated the app and it keeps crashing please fix.Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Great improvements but not very “mobile”The UI and functionality available has been steadily increasing. It’s certainly a very handy thing to have to complete common tasks on the go - except for the fact that the Touch ID functionality just doesn’t work anymore. Every time you open the app you have to log in with your username, password etc. It’s painful and makes it just that much harder to quickly do a task while on the run. I tend to give up, meaning the app has lost the value of being mobile based..Version: 2018.5.0.2671642

Crashing after recent updateI updated the workday to latest version and now in first attempt of signing in the app crashes. Done reset of app Done reinstalling Was working fine before & I am able to login on web fine, so something clearly is bricked with the new update release. Fix it!.Version: 2023.08.0.77238

Not very intuitiveTime once selected requires double tap to save it in the field. This could be implemented with a roller dial to improve UX. Codes used frequently do not save in the recently used codes. Requests for submission for each week, and then totals it again and displays the two weeks claims/worked hours in the final screen making it confusing..Version: 2023.15.0.148150

Workday - NOT A FANOur company switched over to Workday about 5 months ago. After using it as a manager for employee time, absences, performance reviews, promotions, recruiting, etc., I have to say this has got to be the least user-friendly HR application I have ever used. The form pages don’t flow naturally and the error descriptions are not very helpful. Approvals are another headache - they seem to go in circles having subordinates approve manager actions, then still having to approve the manager action after that before going on up the chain. It’s wasting a lot of time and is very confusing. Worst of all, the confusion is causing inaccuracies in the company’s and employee’s records/data. I thought after using it for awhile that I might get used to it. But I find it more and more frustrating the more I use it. I wish we had never switched to Workday and I’m not alone in that opinion..Version: 2020.31.0.306347

PasswordI I don’t like having to change my password so often. It is very annoying..Version: 2023.44.4

A big shame that this app is not accessible to people who are blindUnfortunately this app has a long way to go before it is accessible to people who are blind using screen readers such as VoiceOver and jaws. The buttons are not labelled at all it is more guesswork than not. Also the app doesn’t conform to the equal opportunities act because it is not accessable for everybody to operate and use a very big shame do not waste your time in downloading it.Version: 2021.24.0.233111

ReviewThe app is okay but few issue when trying to enter holiday with my manager they do not make it very easy sometimes needed step by step guide to access that is available online 24/7 so you can just read how to fix the issue instead of contacting them ..Version: 2023.19.0.189692

Don’t like this appThis app is so user unfriendly , too cumbersome Too much pifle on the screens every time A list would be better with small icons or pics when check box selected would be a lot better Too many clicks to get any info especially on iPad.Version: 2019.51.0.507646

Horrible appAbsolutly a waste of time having this app! Logs you out after a month or two and won’t let you back in even with a password reset which you have to get from your admin team in your own place of work. Get this app shut down and go back to paper payslips! That’s all our company uses this app for anyway!.Version: 2022.36.0.352725

Issues with links in LessonsUnable to click on external links/urls in a ‘external content’ lesson within a course in the learning module..Version: 2021.47.0.464698

Doesn’t always workWorkday is a terrible app that doesn’t always work. I quite often have to update my details even when I did it weeks before. It is frustrating so I don’t often use it. Very slow app. Logs out all the time. Hard to complete tasks..Version: 2022.39.0.382869

Worst app for workThis app is not phone compatible, no matter what people say about it. My work has started using this program since last year and it’s been a problem ever since. They have options you can only do on a PC and the interface is so much more complex then it needs to be. Even down to simply logging in just gets annoying, what is the point of setting up a fingerprint log in when if you don’t use the app for two days it forgets, then you have to type your login details all over again, the stupid part is the fact it still scans my fingerprint, then I have to enter my details. Entering your times are also a very long process on the app, since the PC gets more features so you’ll find yourself sitting down for at least half hour entering a full week of details, and that’s on a good day. Also you have no idea who your submitting your work hours too, until AFTER you press submit, which by that time it’s too late they have your hours now.. So if you have multiple bosses and you want to only send to one, good luck with that. Whatever you do don’t let your job sign up for this thing...Version: 2020.24.0.230401

What’s even the point?I keep trying to use this app, as I don’t always wanna use a website on my phone. When I found out Workday is available as an app, I jumped on the opportunity to download and use it. The only problem is, what’s even the point of having the app if, when I put in my organization ID, (just as it appears on Workday’s website), it never give me the chance to log in. The app just freezes after I put in the ID, and it never gets to a log in screen. I’ve tried doing it on my company’s wifi, my home wifi, my cellular network, everything. And yet the app still doesn’t let me in. I’ve tried it off and on over the past few months, near year, since we switched to using Workday. Along with having any and all updates come in. I’m severely disappointed and hope that the development team can figure out what’s going on and fix it, cause this isn’t the experience I expected from what I can compare to the website proper..Version: 2023.15.0.148150

Terrible, not user friendlyIs not user friendly at all, is impossible to find help. There is no option anywhere I can find in the app for help, a contact us option or even an email/hotline. I did try and leave feedback through the app itself wanting a rating and that was bounced back! No one in my workplace is trained in how to use this mandatory app so we all flounder through together.Version: 2018.10.0.6128698

Not user friendly and cannot access a lotA lot of the learning and learning courses do not work or cannot be accessed at all. A lot of features and apps, eg with job applications, do not work or cannot be accessed on the app, so is not useful when you need it to work. Please make it so all learning courses can actually be selected, and where possible launched on devices, and also so that things like job applications can be completed in full (including updating your profile). Would be great if more important actions and functions were available on most of the apps within Workday to be honest, it seems to take you around in circles or it just can’t do what you really need it to do. I hope that your developers take this on board as it could be a very useful app if it worked better and didn’t waste time thinking you can do what you want but can’t..Version: 2022.05.0.38488

Interface not user friendlyThe app's interaction is completely optimized around the underlying database structure, rather than user needs. Entering time sheets in incredibly laborious -- click on Time Type and wait of a menu of generic time types to appear. Select a time type category, and wait for the system to query the members of that query. Finally, you get to type your value, but don't expect common patterns like Google type-ahead to search as you go. You have to wait again for a server search for potential matches. And once you enter your time entry, if you decide you need to change the category, the Workday app erases the hours field that you entered before, so hopefully you've remembered it. And don't even get me started on expense reports. I sorely miss Expensify and Forecast, which we were using before our corporate office made up standardize on Workday. Workday is definitely a product built for the convenience of the engineers who auto-generate this horrible interface -- not for their users..Version: 2018.19.0.11322730

Clock-in confirmation buttonOverall I really like the functions of the Workday mobile app. But as an employee who needs to clock-in/out the confirmation button has caused so many numerous in-registered clock-ins. Yes my boss can fix it but it really is an inconvenience that Workday is suppose to mitigate. For those on an iPhone with no actual “home” button the “home” slide up often gets in the way of the clock-in confirmation button. If it was moved up 1/3” it would minimize the clock-in fails. Also, the desktop version needs to mirror the same functionality of the mobile app. Radio selectors for meal/out clock-outs on desktop? Come on, it’s 2022 keep consistent between the app and desktop web version..Version: 2022.36.0.352725

What happened to 24 hourI don’t write many reviews so this feature that o am talking about has been there since their last update about 6 months ago or so. I didn’t mind the app as I was able to put my time in fairly easy using the 24Hr form. Now since this update that I stated you MUST use 12 format. I hate 12 format for punching in hours. If it does not register the am pm push then the me thing you know your inputting a 16 hour workday instead of only 4 hours. It’s annoying as to why they changed it. I wish you would at least have the option to select how you would like to input your time with either 24Hr or 12hr format..Version: 2021.04.0.31482

Old schoolThis apps feels old school... Doesn't have the iOS feel to it. Also the time off section doesn't have a back/cancel button so I have to exit app and restart... Could use a bit of improvements in some areas. Thanks.Version: 23.0.01.001.232

On the come up!! 🔥I believe!! Let’s keep striving for greatness..Version: 2023.44.4

Worst user interfaceBy this time of this era we are used to with preety amazing user interface which enables to work easy and fast with 100% accuracy but this app/ website has real issue with user interface. To check log on and try urself got frustate everytime.Version: 2021.38.0.374228

Always messing up payThey are always screwing up my pay in new incentives ways. I should have 3 lines and one page I have had as many as 7 pages. Hours plus , minuses wrong pay scale, the math is wrong when multiply hr x rate . Can not change Benifets or 401k as we were told . Total totally sucky system . I would never recommend this . Not just me but Entire project and company . Worst I have ever seen.Version: 2020.11.0.104667

Worst App I’ve Ever UsedWhere to start… the day 1 roll out was terrible, sloppy, unprepared, incomplete app and froze. Still to this day it makes no sense I have to select 0% tax rate when my state has 6% tax rate. It took 3 months to get my first expense reimbursed. Having to log into a teams meeting at a specific time with multiple people to try and get assistance is terrible. Especially in a patient care setting. Let me stop taking care of patients because nobody understands how to use your app. Every single time I submit an expense reimbursement it has errors. If I’m doing something wrong, I was taught incorrectly, but if I’m not, it’s just lazy you don’t fix the app. Either way, nobody has said anything the 8 months plus we have been using it now. My company used concur before and that app is light years ahead of this. I have begged to go back to it. This is only the tip of the iceberg..Version: 2023.29.0.4583

EmployeeDon’t like the app at all !! When my pass word needed to be changed there was no warning it was going to expire until I clocked in the next time. So I followed the instructions ha fat chance!! I literally spent the next seven hours and countless emails to workday to get this changed absolutely ridiculous!! I understand the importance of the security of personal info but I considered my bank account info and security far more important and when the time comes to change password not only do you get warning but it only takes a few minutes to change. I feel with this app you might as well go back to a punch card, and the worst part no one in my faculty knows any thing about it and workday website doesn’t give any contact info in case of problems. In my opinion and experience it’s worthless and poorly thought out ..Version: 2023.19.0.189692

By accountants for accountantsWorkday on PC is bad enough with functions you have to know the name of to look up: you can’t select a function from a menu. So if you don’t know the function you are screwed. The processes are clearly designed for the benefit of support staff rather than project managers and engineers. On the phone app functionality is further reduced. And this review box has white text on a white background so I can’t even see what I wrote..Version: 2023.24.0.4434

Could be betterHave too reset pin too often it times out too early not easily accessible with ipad.Version: 2023.46.0

No fingerprintsCould not use my fingerprint to sign in. Had to look up my password. Constant problems!!!.Version: 2023.46.0

Non user friendlyI find this app very non user friendly. Most of the time things don’t work and I have to redo the same stuff again. App has compatibility issues with IOS. I can’t believe this app is being used at work.Version: 2019.13.0.124736

Long processesThe system slows the hiring process down Too Many approvals required when a. Outlet phone calls and emails would do.Version: 2024.01.0

Nick WrightWorkday is terrible doesn’t tell you hours worked or rate off pay and has holidays in hours which doesn’t match my holiday entitlement clearly not set up for my workplace shift or pay structure clearly set up for office staff not operational staff in the waste industry and also the app regularly crashes would have given -10 but minimum I could give was 1star.Version: 2022.05.0.38488

Time offIt's annoying how when you apply for leave it doesn't actually say approved or denied ... it just says completed , I'm always left wondering if I have just "completed" my request or if my manager has seen it and actioned it.Version: 2017.44.031.428684

Hard to useThe app sends you to the website that sends you back to the app. After setting the app up and confirming sign in on my phone and iPad I am able to access the app for only a month or so. I then have to create a new password and pin just like the first time I set up the account. This usually involves issuing my work equipment. Multiple times I have been unable to set up the account on my personal equipment and have been forced to email my documents to my personal accounts to use for loans etc.. please make this user friendly so I can safely access my payslips and w2s securely from home. Thank you..Version: 2020.05.0.34104

Don’t workI have good internet and phone service but the app won’t even load no matter how long I wait. It would ask me to login at the beginning and after I pressed login it ask for my organization / company name. I input the name and it showed a green check mark. From that point on it show a blank white screen with three dots loading. No matter how long I wait the screen stays the same. I reinstalled the app but the problem is still the same. I have used multiple phone to see if it will get fixed but the problem stayed the same. I can use the web version, but I can’t check everything there. It will be helpful if this problem get fixed soon. Another suggestion is we should be able to check our schedule and hour we work on the web version since the app won’t work. I can’t even load the app so I don’t know how am I supposed to check my schedule..Version: 2021.38.0.374228

Not user friendly for managementThis used to work much better, now I have to go through a full login with verification codes every time I need to access it (which is multiple times per day). If you can’t provide a more efficient login process (ie fingerprint access) then I suggest you hire some new IT people..Version: 2022.43.0.421585

Workday ReviewThe app has been very difficult to use since the beginning. I have had to contact the IT department on a couple of occasions due to problems with the app not accepting my password. The app has also failed to accept my sick leave certificate twice. I like technology when it works but this is one occasion where I wish they would bring back paper or go back to emailing pay slips. Not a fan AT ALL!!.Version: 2017.38.179.392858

Not goodLiterally does not work on my phone. neither does it on safari so i can only use it at work. useless.Version: 2019.51.0.507646

Not intuitiveItems and menus are not laid out where you think they would be, and don’t take you to the information that you initial think they will. Lots of work needed on this to make it more usable and user friendly..Version: 2023.46.0

Not Displaying CorrectlyIOS 13.3.1 and latest app version does not display “Time Off” under Payslips correctly. It’s blank but touching the area takes you to the calendar. Checked a colleagues iPhone & same issue. Please fix to get back to a 5 star rating..Version: 2020.07.0.65044

Time off confuses itWorkday can't wrap its digital brain around somebody taking a day off. It can't figure PTO into whether or not you have entered your time for the week and gives me an error if I try to submit less than 40 hours because I had a day off this week. And heaven forbid you take a whole week off! It absolutely can't handle 0 hours worked in a week and bugs you and your supervisor and your HR manager with all kinds of emails and in-app messages saying you need to enter your time for last week or you won't get a paycheck (meanwhile when you go to the PTO page it shows 40 hours of approved time off). This is what happens when different parts of the app are designed by different committees that don't talk to each other..Version: 2020.31.0.306347

Time offThis app and the program in general is a joke. If I go to put in a request for time off and make an error I can’t just go in and edit it. I have to wait for who knows how long then go and cancel the request then make a new request. There are too many steps to just request a day off. As a supervisor this makes things very difficult when staff make errors on requests that are for the same day. The old digital system we had for time off requests worked wonderfully, but this one makes me want to rip my hair out. Worst thing is clearly the people at Workday don’t care to simplify things or take input to improve the app. As I’m going through and reading some of these reviews, I see that they have only followed up on a select few which shows they only want corporations money..Version: 2021.38.0.374228

Offers little for employeesJust gets at the basics wrong, layout, icons, navigation, it's a real lottery as to whether you can find what you are looking for. Annual leave is a obvious area where the designers have not thought about how an office runs and how staff need visibility to make informed decisions, the fact that our team bypasses the system to run absences smoothly tells you all you need to know. Perhaps all the benefits are for the employer organisation, maybe that part runs well, but as end user the experience is just awful..Version: 2021.35.0.342659

Work day sucksWork day is confusing and NEVER worked properly from day one. First it took 8 months just to get an email from the IT Department then another 2 weeks to get my password working right. Things don’t stay where you put them You have to tap dance through the icons to do something simple. Pay is usually short. We had a horrible system thrusted upon us when the old system was fine. The only thing this is good for is the employer - not us….Version: 2023.44.4

I used to love itWhen I first started using this app for work I loved it. I could easily log in via Face ID. I use the app on my personal phone and on my work phone. Now every time I log in, it makes me do it from the very beginning of my organizations page. Clicked remember me, it never does and it says it’s the first time I’ve logged in using this browser which is not true. Clicked do not challenge me on this device for the next 10 hours, doesn’t work. I can go to log back in 30 mins later and it makes me start all over again. It works fine on my laptop but I don’t always have my laptop with me when I need to log in..Version: 2023.29.0.4583

Not user friendlyThis is the least user friendly work app I’ve ever used. It takes so long to do the most simple task. Many work hours must be wasted by staff using it instead of actually working. Would not recommend. I used to work in a roster unit completing duties and rosters for 500 people and could complete 100’s of tasks using a different app in the time it takes me to complete one task on workday..Version: 2020.35.0.348411

My Employers required appThe app is frustrating with multiple mouse clicks to view a simple memo or ‘course’. The Terms and conditions ; that I had to search for online , allow access to all personal photos and videos on the iPad. Screenshots of any personal documents are included. As the workday app is used in multiple countries it isn’t clear what privacy act is applicable. I am forced to use this app as it was sold to my employer..Version: 2018.51.0.30568627

Self evaluationEverytime I completed my self evaluation an error would come up and delete my work because ( system error unable to bring up your work) not sure why..Version: 2022.02.0.8229
