ClockShark

This thing uses YOUR data that you pay for unless the company you work for pays for your phone. It also kills the battery on your phone. I’ve also heard from coworkers they found a way to see how often this thing checks your location…. 30+ gps location checks in a 8 hour day is ridiculous

ClockShark requires always allow for location access. They say that it only tracks you while on the clock. However, it prompts me on my days off to clock in whenever I get near a possible job site even in places where I have never worked over an hour from where I actually work. So, it knows where I am at all times. I get the concept that business owners want to make sure that their employees are actually on site, but this is a bit intrusive especially given that I paid for my own device.

App forced me to allow location Always. Interface is not appealing

I clocked out yesterday and it stopped pinging my location like it does throughout the day when you were clocked in. However, I noticed at the end of the day today that it said I had stayed clocked in overnight and it clocked me out automatically, but there was no location pings throughout the night. I had to do a time correction form to fix the issue with HR.

Months later, this app is STILL clocking me out without notice at random times, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

I use clockshark to enter daily time sheet info. The data I enter is consistent from day to day; time in, time out, job and task. It takes me up to 20 screen presses to enter that info when it could be a 2 screen press entry. One press to duplicate consistent info from precious day but with current date and time filled in, one press to confirm and submit. I don't like being in this app and having to manually modify data that is consistent from day to day. App developer responded to feedback about technical issues. Improving rating to 3/5. Still could make some general improvements to make daily repeat data entry more efficient.

If it only tracks while on the clock then why is always tracking even a thing? That shouldn’t even be an option since you claim it doesn’t track unless clocked in. Then only while using would be sufficient. Developer responded saying it has to be on always as once the app is minimized it stops tracking. This is a lie. I have tricked the app into “only while using” and it’s worked just fine. So again I ask. Why do you need “always”. It’s tracks location just fine without it. What else are you tracking?

This app has potential to be a great app. But way room many issues. First is the have to allow tracking at all time. Huge safety issue, what potential to be misused! Second is this app will clock an employee out. If they go into the app to do anything more than a min! Didn’t believe it till today. When I witness it clock an employee out. While said employee was checking his weekly timesheets. Huge liability issue with the labor department!!!! All this after the last update! Great follow up reply! But none of these issues started until after your update. But as for tracking our state law does not allow it on personal cell phones. Without written permission! Which this app changed that without a notice to us clients! Which I turn can cause clients undue hardships! As our state loves lawsuits for violating them laws. As the clocks out. I did not mark for active tracking of employees! But have seen first hand your app illegally clock out my employees! Which again can cause undue hardship to company owners! These issue need address to make this app great. As for now I’ve had to switch back to a legal app, so I don’t face any lawsuits for your app illegal, tracking and clocking out issues!

I just had to start using the app for work and have already been reprimanded once due to the app’s horrible inaccuracies with their gps location feature. It regularly says that I’m very far from my job site when I don’t even step one foot out the door all day. Employers should not be tracking employee’s locations in the first place but this app just adds to the headache by not even accurately providing employee’s whereabouts. Would not recommend to anyone ever.

App and desktop version are full of bugs. The gps tracker is very vague and doesn’t show secondary road name or they are no longer named what the app has. The app is not very user friendly or intuitive.
