Glitch from update?
The app was amazing until I updated to the latest IOS version! Will not send me notifications of private messages- only announcements! I have tried reinstalling the app with no luck. Hopefully it is fixed soon!

5+ Stars for Customer Service
I’ve reached out to customer service a few times over the past year with questions or looking for a feature, they are always quick to respond and if they don’t have it they put in an effort to try to find a work around. I’m happy to report that I feature I requested awhile back they were able to create and even messaged me letting me know it was available. That is amazing and shows me they care about making their customers happy! Thank you!

Absolutely Amazing Customer Service!
I was setting this up to use and was excited to see the options of filtering access to managers. But there is a loophole. I understand the functionality of allowing messaging of your entire team. But the option to limit or block messaging in the Everyone Group chat to me is a loop hole in allowing Co-Workers to message another Co-Worker even if it will be seen by everyone. Please look into an update to limit or block messaging within this chat. Would be an absolute slam-dunk if that functionality existed.
UPDATE: Support reached out and immediately updated my need to limit the Everyone Gr

It’s okay
The notifications are a little weird when someone text in the group chat with everyone. It makes it seem like that person is just texting you individually. I don’t like the new update. It was better when people would post their shifts and it would send a notification in the group chat with everyone. Also it’d be nice if you could see the history of the shift. It would also be nice if you can “remind” someone you messaged them so they no it’s urgent.

Freezes all the time
I really wanted to like this app, especially since my last one was bought by Square and Square was going to charge me a ridiculous amount for theirs, and Breakroom got decent reviews. However, this app freezes on me all the time and I have to reboot it after each use. I can’t even perform a search because it freezes. It’s becoming more frustrating than it is worth.

App works well just wish there was an option to delete old request off, even when you “delete” it’s not really deleted it’s archived and I still have to scroll pass many requests.

I have suggestions
Please create a leaderboard for gold stars instead of kudos. It worked in our old employee app. The kudos thing is just dull and helps no one with motivations. Also would love a way for managers to set up a calendar to be able to set up meetings. And PLEASE make it so the app sends notifications to you from other groups when in a different one. I miss too many notifications too frequently.

Simply Breakroom app is the best way to communicate with co worker and it’s very important app for the employees to use for their work and their business whenever they need it, it’s very helpful useful !!

Newly adapting
Love the app thus far. Swapping from the Crew app as I see some other users have. Would it possible to get notifications when employees change/update their availabilities to enable managers to adjust accordingly?

Excellent App!
Found this app as an alternative to Crew. It’s almost identical. The only thing it needs is to have an actual calendar view option rather than having to scroll over all the days to find a specific day that you’re looking for. That’s the most important issue for me personally. I also wish it had the kudos leaderboard that Crew had. Sometimes there is a delay when there’s a new notification, you have to keep pulling down to refresh until it will appear. Other than that it’s an awesome app. I love having this for our team communication!

I never used this app but I have to say is so easy to use, from downloading it to setting up. I get to stay tune with everything.

Iffy
I am very iffy with this app. As of now, I don’t like it. It closed me out of my account for no reason and won’t allow me to join back. I put in my phone number that’s associated with the account. And it’s saying that it’s invalid. I know that is a lie…I really need to get back into my account…I don’t like this at all…it just randomly closed me out for no reason. I was just on the app and when I went to go back in, it closed me out.

It works but could be improved.
It works but having everything including availability improved seems a little over done. If employees are given the option for availability managers shouldn’t have to approve everyone. When companies have more than 10 people having to constantly check in with every employee individually.

Business app
If you liked crew or simplistic business app as a GM or a DM. This is for you. $25 a month I would say is a little hefty but to be able to communicate with your team or different stores or different managers, this is fantastic and has exceeded my expectations.

Job app
This is an app for Wendy’s communications
It works well and nice way to see the schedule. It a quick way to get in touch with managers also. Much quicker than the phone calls.

Wonderful!
This app really has been a godsend.
The ease of scheduling / adjustments on the fly and overall company communication has made my job as manager SO much easier and productive!
The icing on the cake though is that the developers are constantly taking my suggestions for improvements to make the app even better and implementing them quickly.

Suggestions
The Breakroom app is 80% similar to the Crew app. We are grateful to switch our team to Breakroom instead of Square. If there is an easy way to create a new chat, it would be great! We could scroll and select an employee after clicking the “+” button but if we could start a new conversation through “Team” it would make it much easier. For the scheduling function, it would be great if we could upload a “PDF” file!

iPad version is cheap
On iPhone the app is perfect. Replaced everything the crew app had to offer.
However,
The iPad version is basically a cheap zoomed in version of the phone. Not very professional looking. I would like to see a legit scaled version for tablets, as many of our employees are currently using.

Notification Center
This app is such a great easy app, the only thing I would ask if you could update at some point it when you accept/decline a time off request if it could be permanently removed from the Notification Center. When a lot of time request come in it gets very difficult having to scroll up and down looking for each time request.

Happy with this app
So far I love the Breakroom app. It meets all my basic needs. There are a few features I wish it had but so far my experience is that customer support is very responsive and working with us to try and add some features. Definitely happy I found this app.

App is amazing, and has really helped my team transition into a better business model, but I get notifications about messages I’ve seen days or weeks before and long since opened and replied to constantly. Please fix.

Kudos leaderboard needed
My work team recently transferred over to Breakroom from crew app. We love Breakroom! I believe there should be a kudos leaderboard as crew app has something similar to that. It drives employees to do better and gives a little bit of friendly competition. I would love to see it implemented into the app and I wouldn’t mind paying to give kudos as a recognition of hard work! It would be more rewarding with the kudos leaderboard added to breakroom

Transitioning from Crew App.
We’ve use the crew app since 2014 to keep all of our employees and shops connected, but in the last year they started to take a serious quality nose dive. So we have swapped to your newer Breakroom App. So far so good, we understand it’s fairly new and still being worked on. We just hope that you don’t fall short where Crew did, I.e. actually listening to what your users need and want and making timely adjustments. I know the first thing off the top of my head I would love to see is a “blackout” UI and maybe customizable background picture. The one with all the different designs is a little ch
