## Reviews

### "Needs some improvement" — 4.0/5

> **Doug** | *19 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and integrates well with my accounting software.   Easy to setup new phones and easy to train
> 
> **Cons**: No stopping overlapping entries in live time.&#10;&#10;Forms/assets not worth the price. Still rounding issues
> 
> It's okay.  It still needs some improvement.    I still mostly just batch, process and close weekly transactions

-----

### "WorkMax Review" — 4.0/5

> **Andrew** | *16 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Receive time daily, have a record of he time vs paper time cards, Basic user functions are relatively simple and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: Clock in \&amp; Clock out do not always show up, Sometimes people struggle to clock in due to app not working, rounding feature should round daily time overall, not by punch time, Sync function causes problems at times, when there is an update app sometimes goes down and needs a work around.
> 
> Overall, we have had relatively good experience with WorkMax, although there are some glitches that make it hard to use at times.

### "This app works well for our needs." — 5.0/5

> **Andrei** | *19 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I receive a call or email every quarter from someone at WorkMax checking in to see how things are going. Sounds like they are actively looking for ways to improve and keep customers happy.
> 
> **Cons**: Every now and then some employee clocks in to a wrong job or claims that couldn't clock in because of whatever reason. Typically it is caused by user error.
> 
> Overall Workmox app gives us ability to track what we need to track and it integrates with our Payroll software well

-----

### "Updates are disruptive" — 3.0/5

> **Justine** | *9 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to track time with GPS and fencing. I like that it's pretty accurate with time. I like the ability for multiple supervisors able to review and approve time.
> 
> **Cons**: When updates take place it disrupts our work flow. I am currently having difficulty logging into the app on my computer without having to delete cache and settings every time since the last update. The phone app doesn't automatically update or refresh the sync
> 
> Overall I rate it between a 2 and a 3. Customer service is not very proactive and tend to send emails instead of reaching out via phone or zoom call.

### "A welcome change for our company" — 5.0/5

> **Katie** | *24 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how user friendly the system is, both the app and the time editor feature. I really like the ability to also handle our per diem through the app. The onboarding process was amazing and so well done. It was very thorough and I felt fully supported throughout the entire process.
> 
> **Cons**: After being a long time user of Foundation, I have found it can be a little different to get support for WorkMax. Sometimes the next day receiving help can be tough.
> 
> I implemented WorkMax as our previous long time payroll clerk was moving into retirement. This was a MAJOR change for our company as previously, everything had been 100% by hand. Calyn was absolutely wonderful in guiding us through this change.
