Employees can punch in/out for work, check their schedules, time off, benefits, and pay. Managers can take care of exceptions as they come up, ensure staffing and schedules are good to go, take action on time off requests, and other and other key needs.
The Workforce Central mobile app also works offline, so don’t worry if you’re not able to connect to data. Your punches will be stored and the next time you’re connected, the punches will be sent off to Workforce Central.

Worst app I’ve ever used
Such a sad excuse for an app that really doesn’t do much. The worst part of my job is trying to sign into this app and punch in.
2025-03-19
Archaic Trash
This app is an archaic piece of trash & a sad excuse for a professional system for managing professionals. It is clear that the ACT Education Directorate was given a very meagre allowance with which to find a solution for servicing casual staff & this was the only piece of junk they could afford 🤦🏻♂️. How sad we have to put up with this! SIMS was terrible & yet way better than this. It is impossible to get a clear snapshot of basic calendar events such as bookings & availability. How embarrassing that this is the “new system” we’ve been provided
2025-03-15
I haven’t learned user interface design but I could do better than this in 30 mins.
There is no way to view my availability/unavailable times in a calendar. So if I have put in parts of days as unavailable and need to change it I have to go through every day and check it and resubmit. Once the change has been approved it doesn’t remove the original request from the list. It also means that I have to go through the entire list to see if I have put all my days in that I needed to, and the dates aren’t even in order, I have to jump all over the place.
Multiple times when I have tried to change an unavailability it hasn’t actually changed it even though I clicked through all the buttons so my work thinks I am unavailable or available when I am not.
Also why would I need auto log out??? I can even switch between my phone calendar and the app sometimes without having to log in and go through all the screens again.
2025-03-02
App Crashed: update 7.0.1
This app repeatedly crashes and when it’s not, it is instead logging me out automatically
On 26th February 2025 I installed update 7.0.1. Immediately post update, the app opens but now won’t connect to server for 4 days and counting I have had no access to the app.
To Kronos: don’t release updates claiming to have bug fixes. Your newest update 7.0.1 has rendered the app useless. Fix it or be prepared for people to delete the app
2025-02-26
A ridiculous excuse for a professional workplace app
The issues with this app and system are far beyond what I’m going to bother writing here, but if you’re a management team trying to find a system to use for your employees, look elsewhere. This app constantly signs you out, does not allow for easy autofill, the UI breaks frequently and is incredibly outdated and doesn’t have a single feature that other systems do not
2025-02-24
Can’t log in from my iPhone iOS
Seems like I’m having issues logging into UKG on my iPhone since last update
2025-02-15
Serious Application Issues
I work at a large hospital in Australia that uses this app for nurse scheduling. It’s constantly timing you out when you try to view your schedule and it is extremely time consuming to submit your roster requests. There are no options to select an entire shift or to copy and paste a previous selection. I’ve worked as a lifeguard at pools with better scheduling applications.
2025-02-14
Needs Face ID sign in
Basic app. Easy enough to use. Except sign in on iOS & manually entering password for every punch is SO painful. Please add Face ID sign in and would rate 5 stars
2024-12-27
Autofill / Biometrics
PLEASE ADD BIOMETRICS - I have not been able to easily utilise the app as every shift I need to log in several times due to time outs and my password isn’t that short.
I see some of my colleagues which have biometrics that autofill their passwords, and others like myself who need to type the password in
2024-12-18
Unreliable and glitchy
Slow and always glitching. No one want to login with a password and authentication code constantly.
2024-09-29
New user
Glitchy, trying to get to requests and see open shifts at my workplace but the page on the app keeps skipping. I have tried on a different device too. Please fix asap
2024-08-29
PAGE EXPIRE
Page Expire been months since I can log on and still i cant log on. I did everything under the sun to log on!!!

I am not able to apply for the type of leave I need
2024-07-04
Waste of time
Horrible. Doesn’t work 80% of the time. Unless you need it for work, which unfortunately I do, don’t bother
2024-06-26
Sorry to be mean but same problems as everyone else
A) It needs to save passwords because typing it in every time is ridiculous
B) Ideally it would send notifications when a roster changes, requests are approved, etc.
C) Also doesn’t say whether you have punched on or off so I always check the time card for reassurance that I haven’t punched on twice. Would be more intuitive to just say “successfully punched in/on/off/out”.
2024-05-04
19th century app
Children in school can make better app than this. Waste of time. Shame
2024-05-04
Outdated
Your last update at the time of this review was three months ago. This is the ONLY app where I have to manually type my password in on EVERY use. If the app is going to insist that i log in every time can you please incorporate biometric security. Rating will change to five stars once this has been done.
2024-04-28
Can't connect to server
Updated my app now i can't connect to server
2024-04-08
Just a web wrapper, don’t bother
This appears to be nothing but a web browser than takes you to your company’s Kronos server instance. The first time you open it, it asks for your company’s Kronos instance address. Save yourself some time & bother and just paste that address into your web browser (Safari, Chrome etc.) and log in there instead.
2024-04-07
Needs Face ID for quick logon and app need a update for punch in and punch out features
Needs Face ID for quick logon and app needs a update for punch in and punch out features feels very dated.
2024-04-05
Unable to log on
My phone is an Apple. I wonder if the app works better with Samsung? No matter what I do, it won’t accept my user name or password.
2024-04-05
Worst work app ever
So outdated and terrible to use!! A nightmare to get into.
2024-03-28
needs fixing
i think this app needs an overhaul. a full calendar should be added to availability to make it easier to see the dates.
also there needs to be a function to remove dates that have been approved in the event you become available.
also better notifications on when new rosters have been added.
2023-11-01
Keeps logging out!
The App itself is great but it continually logs you out and you are forever having to log back in to use!
2023-10-10
Please make this a good app because it’s the most frustrating app I’ve ever had to use….
The most frustrating app I’ve ever used. I’ve attempted to delete and reinstall. I’ve tried accessing through different avenues. Nothing helps. The app never opens correctly. I have to swipe it from the phone and reopen for it to work. Then half the time it comes up with error and unable to proceed. So I remove and reopen again. I enter my email, password but the loading time is beyond acceptable. Sometimes it won’t let me enter all the numbers for the Microsoft code text to me. If I get passed this then it loads, and loads… by the time I punch in I wasted 5 sometimes 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. Then I have to email my manager all my correct times… over it.
2023-10-06
GET RID OF THIS APP
The most useless app on this planet
Not user friendly
Needs improvement, needs to be more simpler
2023-10-04
most difficult app to use
this app is so out dated, hard to use, hard to understand and the calendar for shifts are so unclear. i hate that companies use this, it’s a horrible service.
2023-09-16
No. Just No
If your company is considering Kronos for which this app is the front end. DON’T. Even the simplest of tasks are a nightmare. I’m not allowed to put in for a missed meal break because my supervisor doesn’t want to have to get the manual out again for the 17 step process to approve it. I spend more time logging into this app than actually using it. At least one of my colleagues just screenshots every page so he doesn’t have to use the app to check the roster. If I ever have to look for a new job, during the interview I will check if they are using this system or planning to and if they are not take the job.
2023-08-01
Clock in and Clock Out is not working properly
Hey. Please fix the bug in your app. The clock out function doesn’t always work. Instead of logging out to clock out, bring a seperate button for clock out option so that we can still be logged in.
2023-06-12
Bad app design and functionality
Having to use this app is the worst part of my job
2023-05-30
Not user friendly.
Have to put in your password each time, functionality is okay, but not user friendly. But if you’re using this app you didn’t have a choice am I right…
2023-05-10
The worst user apps I’ve ever had to deal with.
With the amount of Kronos users & the money this company makes, please know your applications are THE most un-user friendly frustrating pieces of garbage ! Your IT division really needs to address these problems people are navigating this rubbish.
2023-04-17
I have paid for nothing
The app required you to be on a paid version in order to use the function, I went on the “free trial”, however, the app couldn’t get the result I wanted, so I left it without even basically using any function
3 days later they charged me $9.99, it isn’t a lot of money but I’m paying for nothing and I want my refund.
2023-04-09
Soooo slow, if it works.
You’ll have to get to work an hour early to be able to sign in because it takes so long Or it keeps ‘loading’ and you have to delete and re download.
2023-04-04
so old
if i could give it no stars i would
needs an update tell me why i’m signing in every time i open the app and it’s so old so so so old
i also wanna see who im working with please and thanks
2023-03-12
I cant view my rosters
This is the worst app I’ve ever used for rosters and time slips. More often than not it can’t connect to the server and tells me I have to use offline mode which is useless because you can’t access anything in offline mode. I need to see my rosters so it’s a pretty useless app
2023-03-10
Bad app
Worst app ever. Taking long time a lot of error
2023-02-28
Poor
As an employee who is force to use this app, I strongly recommend avoiding it at all cost. I’m not sure what my employer pays for it, but free would be too much. Buggy, doesn’t store things correctly, doesn’t seem to calculate hours correctly, notes I put in go missing. I’ll store something one day go back the next to see it’s unsaved. Constantly having to login which is a painful process on this app… I Like to put pro and cons in reviews but I genuinely can’t think of a positive.
2023-01-02
Not good
Not sure why this app is so widely used my business’.. it’s not good. Fix all the bugs on it! Forever login issues. I just had a delete because it just goes blank when tryna open it. FIXXXX THEEE BUGSSSSS
2022-11-07
Needs improvement
The app keeps logging me out everytime I open it. It’s ever since the last update. Extremely annoying, needs a lot of improvement.
2022-10-14
Needs improvement
Design of the app needs an improvement. App looks old and outdated. Log in page could be improved through having a ‘keep me signed in’ option and Face ID. All tabs needs to be improved. One example is ‘Time Card’ tab. In addition to the date, have the day of the week would be helpful and the design on the ‘Time Card’ page can be improved. Second example is the ‘Schedule’ page. The calendar part could be updated, such as having a white background with the month and if there is a shift or event, have the day marked to say that the specific day there is a shift/event. Home page can be improved. Transition between tabs/page can also be improved.
2022-09-11
...
It’s a good and handy app. Applying for leave is a nightmare if you have many dates to enter. You need to allow facial recognition. It’s really annoying entering your password everyone you want to use the app.
Having to change your password every three months is a pain, especially when it can’t be similar to old password. Who remembers passwords these days? The secret question answers needing to be 6 letters, what a joke. What if my childhood friends name only has 5 letters? Hurrrrry up allow facial recognition
2022-07-24
BAD
Don’t bother ticking remember my password as it may remember a few time but will crash and you will need to re enter your details at lest 2 to 3 times a month! This app need to be rebuilt from the ground up! May as well ask someone with short term meme or loss to remember your details it would be more reliable then this app.
2022-07-06
Functionality, availability and UI
One of the worst application I ever seen.
2022-06-22
SAVE THE PASSWORD
I’d really appreciate not having to type my password every single time i want to view something on this app.
Why can’t we just use face id ?
Also the punch on/off feature is very bad. Most of the time it doesn’t recognise my location and sometimes the button totally disappears too.
Very basic app that needs a lot of work
2022-06-21
Outdated buggy app
Pros:
displays leave amount
Cons:
Punch in barely works most days
Crashes for months on end
Horribly outdated in comparison to other similar apps
Does not save password on IPhone, nor does it give an option to
Have to change your password every few months and it can’t be what you used a while ago
If your work place decides to use this trash you HAVE to use this trash app, which has to be the worst part
2022-06-04
Needs more added
Needs a way to bulk request availability. Plus a note section on availability would be so helpful eg ‘can only work these hours due to flight at X time’.
2022-05-24
worst App
I don’t understand why company use this App, so inconvenient and alway can not connect server. I deleted and downloaded again again. Agin, just waste my time.
2022-04-22
Login
Its a nightmare to reset your password and you have to change the password every 3 months and the password has to be very complicated so you cant really remember it. I mean how many passwords you can actually remember i.e cant use anything similar to old passwords etc.
In the questions when setting up, it ask for childhood nickname, and it has to be 6 words as well, what if mine was longer or shorter then again you have to create one and make sure to remember otherwise good luck with all long lengthy process to reset it. They really need to update big time and have the features such as FaceID etc.
2022-04-09
Very disappointed
I don’t usually give feedbacks, but I have to give on this one. It triggers your brain very mad most of the times beacuse it works really slow. Every time we need to type whole password to login. It doesn’t have Face ID feature. And today, I had to see my duty schedule and timesheet for some reasons. I am very dissapointed. It didn’t even responded properly.
Best of luck
2022-04-04
Won’t save my password for easy logon, slow
Given many professional companies supposedly use this app, I don’t understand why it is so basic. It insists on a very long, convulsed passport which is a pain to type in on a small phone screen keyboard, and it won’t save it to the password keychain. If I can sign in with my Apple Face ID to my banking app, I don’t see why I can’t do it with this app? Please add this feature!!
It can also be very slow at times, and sometimes the punch in button totally disappears from the bottom of the screen?
2021-09-29
Can’t get it started with initial set up
This APP is a waist of time. Secured a job a month ago but the covid-19 related lockdowns, there is no-one to offer a face to face assistance to access the employer server. This APP does not make it easy for new users to access the relevant employer server either. It should not be used as it wast time to on-board a new job due to delays to punch in your availability. How can you punch in your availability without having access, and especially if everyone is having issues to assist with on-boarding due to this APP?
2021-08-19
Awful to use!
Never picks up where I am geographically despite being logged on to the store’s wifi. For the past month it keeps saying it’s “offline” when I attempt to login and when I turn off wifi, use my data, I can get it, then it won’t punch me in at my workplace saying it’s logging it as offline data - despite trying this on both my own data and store wifi. Absolutely horrible product.
2021-04-07
Frustrated
I now have a second job and need to be able to access Kronos for both. But I can’t do this, as mentioned by another person. Disappointing and time wasting. Please alter this app so we can use it between two organisations. There will be so many ppl in our situation.
2021-02-14
The worst app ever
Recently change my job and have to use this cause my company asked us to, couldn’t find what so ever the ask me to do on the app, it’s like using an app in 2010 or something, have to type in my password again every time when I switch my screen to other things. And the whole system is not user friendly at all. Not making my life any easier.
There are plenty good hr apps on the market please learn from them, it’s 2021 now, please keep up with the trend
2021-01-24
Needs Face ID support!
Although I have only been using UKG Workforce Central (formerly “Kronos Mobile”) for a little while, I haven’t really had any problems with the application.
Sure, UKG Workforce Central looks awfully dated and the user interface isn’t going to win any awards... But it works.
I do see that a LOT of people are complaining about needing to repeatedly enter their password - this IS frustrating and could easily be addressed by implementing Face ID support. Hopefully the Development Team add this functionality in the near future.
For the time being I have rated UKG Workforce Central just two “stars” due to the lack of support for Face ID... Hopefully I will be able to add a few more “stars” onto my review, once Face ID support is implemented.
2021-01-09
Worst app I have ever seen
This app is nothing but annoying and frustrating I do what my email tells me to do and it doesn’t work. I can’t upgrade my phone to V8.1 because App Store won’t update i because it is a apple phone. It Doesn’t matter how many times I try it doesn’t work and no wonder it has a terrible rating on App Store it is the worst most stupidest dumbest annoying app I have ever seen in my life it needs massive fixing on the spot.
2020-12-15
Can’t change accounts
I have two jobs, both of which require this app. There is no way to switch between accounts, once the app is connected to a company server, the only way to change it is to disable and reconnect to another server. I just need to be able to log in and out of the two accounts, like I would with email addresses or Facebook accounts. Because of this, I can’t check my roster, apply for leave or punch in to one of my jobs which is very frustrating.
2020-10-21
Could be a lot better
Pros: Covers the basic functions of clocking in and out. Shows your shift times and dates clearly. Able to see accumulated worked hours on time card.
Cons: Applying for leave is a nightmare if you have a lot of dates to add, not sure why there isn’t a function to add unavailability dates from the start date to the end date rather than having to add every single date individually - very time consuming!
Also once the leave is actually approved, Kronos still rosters you to work on your approved leave dates rather than recognising you’re unavailable on those dates.
Pretty ridiculous for what is supposed to be a professional app, these issues cause a lot of inconvenience at times.
2020-10-02
Password
Nothing is more annoying than having to put your password in every hour when your busy at work and I do over 10 punches a day and sometimes having to put password in over 15 times and to top it off it will say “session timed out” when you just logged in! So annoying only have it because our company make us use it or I would not consider this waste of space on my phone! To conclude this “KRONOS FIX THE PASSWORD!!! You are not fort Knox it’s just frustrating!!!!
2020-02-15
Slow and poorly developed app
Kronos thinks that it is top security cia app holding the most valuable information and therefore must require its users to change passwords way too often. But really it is just a work app to apply for annual leave, nothing personal can get stolen there. Please stop asking for account password change and stop locking people out of the app. There’s nothing important on there at all.
2020-02-04
2016 iPhone no longer compatible
Now my 2016 iPhone is no longer compatible for this app. I really do not have the funds available to upgrade my iPhone and it’s another expense I can not afford. Why do these app programmers always make it so difficult when my current iPhone still works well. So annoyed and now I can’t sign in or out of work.
2018-05-26
Pretty basic... Plz add features....
Can you guys PLEASE introduce a feature that allows us to import our Kronos timetables to our smart phone calendars??? Would be so helpful! Can you ALSO PLEAAAAAASE introduce a feature that lets us put in more than one day at a time when changing availability!!! Or repeated dates. Ie if uni schedule changes and need to put in multiple Mondays - put in the selected period for that 12 weeks. Just some good suggestions
2018-05-03
Great and easy to use but...
A few things I’d love to see in the next update.
- touch id. Would definitely make life easier if there was the option of touch id or a pin.
-calendar. There should be an option to change the start of the week to Monday instead of Sunday. I work in retail and it would be a lot easier looking at one week instead of separate lines.
It is a little slow when logging in so I’d like to see that fasten up but other than that, the app is great and really easy to use.
2018-02-18
Great app
So much easier to see my working/worked roster without having to be at the workplace. Would like Touch ID & the ability to change the calendar so that the start day is Monday not Sunday in align with other app calendars.
2017-10-11
Finally- everything I need to know on the go!
Absolutely this app makes my work life balance so much better! Being able to do things like apply for leave and see my roster on the go is fantastic and it's so easy to use!
2017-10-10
Fantastic! Finally we have been asking for this
We have been asking employer for this FOREVER.
It should always be this easy to know when I need to work.
Work life balance 101
2017-02-13
Complete waste of time
This app has got to be the worst I have ever tried to use. Despite putting in all the details get a blank white screen then delete app and try again and even though all the details have been entered as per instructions, keep getting error message. There is no number to call that explains another poor service offering. Why any company is considering using this is beyond me...
