### "Een fijne start met Appical" — 5.0/5

> **Jenny** | *16 December 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Gebruiksvriendelijk (duidelijk, eenvoudig in gebruik)&#10;- Structuur in onboarding (alles op één plek, duidelijk en overzichtelijk)&#10;- Tijdwinst voor teamleiders/buddy's bij het inwerktraject&#10;- Persoonlijke beleving: interactief, filmpjes, foto's (informeel)&#10;- Contact/verbinding: vanaf het eerste moment wordt een nieuwe medewerker geboeid en betrokken bij de zorgorganisatie
> 
> **Cons**: - het kost in het begin wel even tijd om de app in te richten, zeker bij grote/complexe organisaties; overigens word je hierbij goed ondersteunt door de contactpersonen bij Appical&#10;- de vraag; wie is uiteindelijk verantwoordelijk voor de inhoud/modules/content, omdat er meerdere disciplines/vakgebieden bij betrokken zijn.
> 
> Binnen onze zorgorganisatie ervaren wij Appical als een gebruiksvriendelijke en overzichtelijke onboarding app. De app helpt nieuwe medewerkers op een fijne, informele, gestructureerde manier kennis te maken met onze organisatie, doelgroepen (cliënten en leerlingen), cultuur en praktische zaken. Dit draagt bij aan een warme, goede start voor nieuwe collega’s.

### "Review Appical by Facilicom" — 4.0/5

> **Patrick** | *23 November 2018* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It gives us an opportunity to inform new employees about our business and our ways, days before their first workday, so they can make a topstart right from the beginning.
> 
> **Cons**: Minor 'bugs' like a counter that doesn't count.
> 
> Due to lack of time and other priorities our onboarding process was coming up short. Now we can give our new employees a warm welcome. They feel more appreciated and as a result are more dedicated. Happy people make happy people :)
