"Super easy to use"
What do you like best about Float?

How easy is to get onboard with the app. We didn't need a company meeting explaining how to use the app, we just started using it right away, and it's super intuitive

What do you dislike about Float?

There is no way to request vacations from the app, or at least we are not using it in our company, we use a different tool for it

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

The hours are planned by management and I just need to login and press 1 button and is done, no need to to log hours for each day and project like we had to do in other tools

I like how much it helps me to organise my day. I use it constantly to see what I have coming up.

"Great way to keep track of your ongoing projects!"
What do you like best about Float?

Float is a great way to keep track of working hours and who is working on what projects. We use float to go over everyone's weekly schedule. Everyone enters this be themselves and anyone can check how is working on what very easily.

What do you dislike about Float?

The process of creating and editing projects could be more user friendly. Editing project name was not the easiest to figure out. It was easy if you knew what you were doing but not for a new user.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

With each department growing in size, it was getting difficult to keep track of who was working on what. Float is a great tool to help with that issue.

"Float is a great tool for keeping me on top of my job"
What do you like best about Float?

the speed and ease in which you can add new cards- seeing all of the different cards in the lists makes it very easy to see your daily/weekly tasks.

What do you dislike about Float?

there is a lack of customisation in terms of where the cards can be placed on the screen, it would be great to drag and drop the tiles so I can view more in one screen. I wish there was an easier way of discarding tasks too such as pressing backspace when you select a card

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work in accounts which means I have a lot of different tasks and clients. Float helps me with both the small tasks that pop up in the day that I can easily post onto a board and keeping all my client work distinct and organised.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about Float?

I like that it is a user friendly software. I was able to learn how to use it very quickly and easily. I have taught others how to use it as well and they have not had any questions so far.

What do you dislike about Float?

I am not a fan of the end time changing automatically when I change the start time. If I wanted that to change then I would do it myself.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to update schedule for several jobs and locations. That is the best part about float. Before float none of us knew where we were on a day to day basis. I love how easy it is to update schedules and that it sends emails to employees about any changes in schedules.

"Organising my transition to work from home."
What do you like best about Float?

I love the ability to sync my calendar with my apple devices. One quick look on my watch or phone and I know what I have coming in on a specific day.

What do you dislike about Float?

I would love an option to remain logged in on a specific device or keyboard. It's annoying to have to log in every time I use float. Also a traditional calendar view would be a nice option.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the issue of being forced to work from home. Home computers tend to have multi-use i.e. not just for work. Being able to log on to a app dedicated to just my professional work is a god send.

"Adorian Float Review"
What do you like best about Float?

The user interface was really well done. I can easily interact and view my colleagues hours and tasks.

What do you dislike about Float?

The lack of a time tracking feature for each task (a manual timer). Maybe there is a timer/stopwatch, but I was unable to find it.

I was able to organize myself better. I was able to contact colleagues that were available and to not bother the ones that were busy.

"Project Management & Scheduling Made Easy"
What do you like best about Float?

I have recently begun utilizing this product and as of now I have my remaining workload arranged for myself. I went over it in one of my online pursuits and I can disclose to you that it is truly having an effect. I have had the option to plan totally all I require to accomplish for the month and what's incredible is that I get an email helping me to remember what's next to do. The support team has been incredible. They are there for you directly from the beginning. Setting up activities and executing them have been a breeze. There is an alternative to add your colleagues so they can see what should be done as well. There are lots of features within this program that they truly have considered everything.

What do you dislike about Float?

I genuinely have discovered nothing I don't like about this product. That might change in time, I don't know.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been really simple to use. I am now able to accomplish the genuine work I need to. They have been very clear on how to use this software which is very pleasing.
