App + web and notifications... Generally we have not found better product so far for 24/7 operations team. > > **Cons**: Not really , suits our needs, if you need more reports you have to pay, what is normal and reasonable. Not sure if possible to have few different time zones in one schedule, based on location > > Generally excellent tool to organize and coordinate shifts. Daily use, easy to follow and manage, flexibility and many options. ----- ### "Sling is Fantastic." — 5.0/5 > **CHRIS** | *May 23, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to manage, easy bulk entry. Easy data management. Has a user friendly mobile app. Integrates with other calendars if you like. > > **Cons**: Views of schedule get a little wonky when you try to look longer than week. Some functions like call-ins can be cumbersome to go back to roster view. > > I love it, it has been very helpful and has streamline our shift scheduling with young people greatly. On rare occasion I need to contact customer service, they're very helpful. ----- ### "Works Well" — 3.0/5 > **Kali** | *March 11, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Color coding employees, moving around schedules, able to print out month worth of shifts > > **Cons**: Unable to assign admin employees, rotating matrix is hard, cant make our short days part of the set schedule > > Mostly good. Works well, but would benefit from newer features ----- ### "Great tool for setting up you work schedule" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *June 9, 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sling is easy to setup and allows for varied roles within the schedule - workers only see the shifts that work for them. > > **Cons**: Got this purely for scheduling and found that to do much reporting required upgrading to higher tiered product. > > We use this to schedule multiple positions at multiple sites. Workers only have to see the shift and roles at sites they work at. Having the ability to set workers up like this has really made our team happy- they used to have to see all shift everywhere now they only see the shift they are eligible for. ----- ### "Great Schedule Management App" — 5.0/5 > **Alec** | *April 14, 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to arrange and coordinate various schedules and staff calendars. Nice to have desktop and mobile friendly app to bounce between seamlessly. > > **Cons**: This is mostly operator-influenced, but my staff has multiple calendars, so it became easy to conflate schedule commitments if the user doesn't pay close attention to which calendar they are working under. > > I really enjoyed it overall, and I appreciated its integration with our Gusto account. My team was shrinking in size, so it became less necessary to use a separate app, but I would have kept using it if I had kept a larger staff. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105033/sling?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105033/sling) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
