The neat layout and design - it is not cluttered or difficult to navigate. From a UX perspective it also makes sense and every click is easy and takes you where you need to go.
Paying per person/member is a bit of a bummer. I think there needs to be different kinds of accounts with a range of the amount of people you can add instead of billing per person.
Well it helps me keep track of who is doing what and when. And because its easy to adjust I rely on it over excel spreadsheets and other kinds of trackers. Hope that helps.
The tool does what it should and is very intuitive. You quickly understand how to use it and how to integrate it into your everyday life. The fact that the people involved receive messages about what they are scheduled for via Float is also super beneficial.
There is not much to dislike - i as a user am very pleased with this tool.
- We have a high level overview about our ressources / colleagues - There is an automation that people receive messages on their shedule, that i can set up - if neccassary we can get an budget overview

Sometimes I experience glitches that make me reload my page and lose the filters I had set - like filtering by people, task, project, or department. However, I believe it might be me who does something wrong.
Offers a range of features that facilitate effective task management for remote teams. It allows managers to assign tasks to team members, set deadlines, and track progress all in one centralized platform. This ensures that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and helps keep the team aligned towards their goals.
Clear, minimalistic and great interface with awesome interactions/microinteractions. Integrations with tools like Asana, calendars, collaborations with the team, and simplicity of use! Fantastic mobile apps.
I don't have any points to add here, I have not had any problems using Float - maybe a desktop application for Mac would be useful ;)
Allows us to organise current tasks and plan the next ones for the whole team, we are basing full tarffic on Float - we are more productive and everyone knows how to start the working day
It is user friendly and intuitive. With its interactive dashboard, I can easily show the volume of work that I am getting. The workload of my teammates are also visible to me, so it's easy to get coordinated and work out resourcing.
Float is really easy to use but things can get messy if the admin does not watch the entries. Maybe admin controls need to be tighter.
Resourcing and allocation, team visibility, time tracking, workload distribution, productivity maximisation, data tracking, among others.
friendly interface, very clean and simple
When I use functions like add/split/delete, the cursor gets stuck
Ensuring studio people are being allocated jobs at the right times. It's helpful for me to see what I'm working on and when
easily accessible to update and edit the tasks. IT provides a quick and simple overview of everything you need to stay on top of your schedule. Helps to See a live view of your schedule with multiple views and sorting options available.
It's not that mobile-friendly at the moment. I've got trouble scrolling all the way to the bottom.Not a lot however I say that when you have more than one client with same name it's confusing.
You have a good overall view, scheduling is easy, the design view is great, reporting is easy and everything comes initially so you are really fast in knowing how to use it
Flexibility to change our hour already scheduled. And log some more if the project was longer, or done quicker than scheduled time.
Maybe improve UI for creating and deleting some hours from the float. This means i can accidentally delete with double click because i choose to delete instead of add
In our job, we can check who is available at what time.
What I like best about Float is its intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to create and manage schedules. The real-time collaboration and visual representation of team availability are also big advantages.
I don't have any specific dislikes or areas to improve for Float. It meets my scheduling needs effectively and efficiently
Float is solving the challenge of efficiently managing team schedules and resource allocation. This benefits me by providing a clear overview of team availability, allowing for easy assignment of tasks and projects. It ensures optimal resource utilization, minimizes conflicts, and enhances overall productivity.
Visual. Simple. Intuitive use. I also like the ability to export data for financial control purposes.
The ability to perhaps attach documents and links to be able to follow up on projects...
Visually helps to manage workload.
