The scheduling part was good and loved the way it dealt with leave and absence. > > **Cons**: Ui was not the best but it was not the worst one I've seen among all the scheduling apps. > > Overall I enjoyed using Sling and found it useful for whag I was trying to achieve. Scheduling was easy and team was notified of the shifts swiftly. ----- ### "Easy and simple platform" — 5.0/5 > **Rumela** | *19 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Relatively straight forward to use. Can see overall view of upcoming shifts and easy to clock in/out with adjustments if needed. Also like the feature of seeing how many hours were worked each week so invoicing can be accurate. > > **Cons**: No features I didn't like. I hardly used the chat function but did notice when it was being used, for example, for reporting sickness, there'd be multiple chat threads when maybe it could be populated in one stream? > > Easy to use and simple. Visually straightforward, not clunky and everything was clearly laid out for first time users. ----- ### "Perfect Solution Hospitality" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *18 January 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Budgeting Wages against Takings, Rotas and Clock in / Out > > **Cons**: Not Being able to Link it to Bright, Could Be Slightly Cheaper for Full Version > > Perfect. Everyday ease of Holiday and opening up to other staff ----- ### "Sling is used to assist in co-ordinating our small teaching team." — 4.0/5 > **Blerta** | *23 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The swap shifts save literally hours of my life. If teachers want to swap classes, they do so themselves within the app. Also, it's nice to see who's available in case I need to call someone up to fill in for my teacher. I can use the mobile app to view the schedule between lessons without having to get to my desk. > > **Cons**: Occasionally, notifications are delayed which led to confusion when one of my colleagues' classes was rescheduled. Syncing of calendar does not always work well with our Google Calendar. Also desire it to be compatible with our student management system. > > Sling is adequate for our small language centre to use for some basic scheduling. It's much better than our old way of keeping track of it in an Excel spreadsheet. Overall, the price is good for the service we receive, but I wish we had more education specific features such as knowing which instructor was teaching the language level we were at. ----- ### "Great for Small Businesses" — 3.0/5 > **Koko** | *21 April 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app had a very basic visual appeal on desktop and was easy to use for communication. Liked the use of repeating shifts and creating chats. > > **Cons**: I felt the app has features that could be updated for better usage like employee adjust shift with management approval, forms, etc. > > Sling did its job for us but our growing company needed more. We needed a software that could encompass more features in one hub. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/142542/sling?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/142542/sling) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
