Reviews Summary

Hotschedules Update Reviews: A Comedy of Errors

So here's the love-hate (mostly hate) relationship users have had with the recent updates of the Hotschedules app.


Woohoo, They Fixed It! 🎉 (Eventually)

  • Many users applauded the developers for reverting back to the older, beloved UI after massive complaints. The gratitude was palpable:

    "Fixed the awful UI. Thank you!"

  • Our restaurant industry veterans celebrated the resolution like a well-done steak:

    "Been working in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years, and this app has done wonders ... simple to use, and very convenient on the go."

The Dreadful Update Era 😱

  • The release of the new update was as welcome as a soggy french fry:

    "The newest update is awful... It changed how shifts are displayed..."

  • The confusion was universal, especially among Android users:

    "Why is IOS able to see others shift locations but on Android you can't?"

  • The clumsy new design made users long for the simplicity of the good old days:

    "Loved the app an update or 2 ago... This transparent update is all confusing..."

  • Users were not mincing words:

    "ZERO STARS if I could give it. Why change a good thing."

The Specific Gripes 😒

  • They really hated the AM/PM shift lumping:

    "Can't view AM/PM shifts separately anymore..."

  • The shift display debacle frustrated both servers and managers alike:

    "Us servers hate it. Our managers hate it."

  • Not user-friendly for mobile micromanagement:

    "As a bar manager I can safely say this update has made my job harder."

The Comedy of Requests - Let's Roll Back 🧐

  • In the spirit of nostalgia, they yearned for the old layout like it was their first crush:

    "Just roll back that update 💯"

  • Even the visual design came under fire:

    "Horrible UI change, bring back the old ui."

  • The new transparent design wasn't pulling in any rave reviews either:

    "The new layout is bad, they didn't cook with this one. BTW why I cannot see who closes with me?"

The Silver Lining (Or Not) 🌥️

  • One optimistic soul still found something to love:

    "I really enjoyed the new update. It gave this a cleaner look!"

  • But even they ended up disappointed when the update disappeared:

    "So sad."

Overall Verdict 🔄

  • The new updates were like pineapple on pizza: divisive, and mostly detested:

    "Do not like the new update at all... Please undo this last update."

So, dear Hotschedules devs, if you're listening: Roll it back already! Your users are craving a return to the good ol' days. 🍕💔

"Fixed the awful UI. Thank you"

"Edit 2: as always Hotschedules is on top of it!! They were quick to respond to their customers to switch their layout back to what we're used to! Thank you!! ---‐-----------‐------------------------- I've been working in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years, and this app has done wonders with the hassle that comes from trying to get your shifts picked up or swapped. Simple to use, and very convenient on the go."

"Edit: They fixed the bad update. Much better now. The newest update is awful. It changed how shifts are displayed. AM and PM shifts are no longer displayed separately and it is no longer organized by job. This makes it very annoying to find out who is working in my department on a given shift."

"Why is IOS able to see others shift locations but on Android you can't? Why get rid of AM/PM time slots? This app was okay/good, but now it's horrible and I hate having to use it. I can get past the horrible new look and it being less user friendly but they seriously need to bring back the functions of seeing where people are and if they are AM or PM. Us servers hate it. Our managers hate it. Go back to what worked."

"I really enjoyed the new update. It gave this a cleaner look! I do think the 2 main things that could have made it better are keeping the shifts split and adding dark mode ! However, when I opened the app today, the update was gone? So sad"

"The new update is inefficient. There was nothing wrong with the old layout. It was much easier to use."

"Why did you change it so much. Don't like the new look. I do not like how when you want to see who's working it gives you both shifts together... just roll back that update💯 ZERO STARS if I could give it. Why change a good thing. It didn't improve anything.... I'm glad I only had to pay for this app once...🙄 Rant over"

"Loved the app an update or 2 ago, when the background was the solid gray and bold blue this transparent update is all confusing, and looking at shifts the times are not in order and most of the time don't show accurate. I like the vision, but I'd go back and iron things out before pushing it. Nothing was wrong with it before."

"New update is horrible, cant view AM/PM shifts seperately anymore, Cant see what location people are working on Android anymore, cant see who worked days prior in the week without going to the website. As a bar manager I can safely say this update has made my job harder."

"The new update is absolutely horrible. They've removed two of the most important features. I can no longer see server section assignments nor shifts available for pick up. The app is essentially useless now as my schedule is copy and paste"

"Been using for 15+ years. This new update is horrible, and I can't see who's working what station anymore. It shows up on iPhones but not android users. NEED TO FIX, PLEASE!!!!!"

"This new update is horrible. I have had this app for about 15yrs on and off. This new update is not ux friendly at all. The color/ contrast. The location of the buttons. It's a mess. The am and pm shift lumped in one is bad. Also, It used to give the location you were working, which is important at my current job. I'm not sure what prompted this update or what they thought was an improvement but the management team and staff all seem dissapointed. I will update my review with the next update."

"Do not like the new update at all makes it harder to see the entire schedule. Can't see who is working which shift of the day and what section. Please undo this last update."
