Visually Appealing and Colorful, Perfect for Daily Schedule Updates
What do you like best about the product?
Its visually appealing and things can be easily distinguishable with the help of colors. This use the app through out the day to find updates on my schedules.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it inconvenient when tasks are not properly aligned. For instance, if I have a task that spans several days and takes up most of my time, it should appear at the top, with the smaller tasks listed afterward. When this isn't the case, it makes the layout look a bit strange visually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool helps me manage my time more effectively by showing which tasks I have already completed and which ones are still in progress, both for myself and for others on the team.
Good Color Coding, Bad Functionality, Customization, Navigation & Usability
What do you like best about the product?
I like the color coding
I like being able to see what other projects people are working on
I like being able to see what other projects people are working on
What do you dislike about the product?
-It is very hard to tell which week you have selected
-It's annoying to filter down to the right person while still keeping the sidebar that shows overages
-The idea of assigning time over a timeline of hours is bad, and I would rather just have a numeric total of hours per project for that week
-Swapping between my view of hours and the project view is cumbersome
-I still don't know how to find milestones added to projects
-Some people who enter time stretch a bucket of hours across several weeks, which makes it impossible to easily know how much time you have on a project for one specific week without having to do math
- Splitting time across a week into daily amounts is not useful, because due to context switching, you are likely splitting hours assigned over a week for a project into specific days to reduce the need for context switching between 6 projects in one day
- I mostly just use it as a list of which projects to focus on, and try to make sense of the hours assignments, but that is a large challenge

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is not solving many problems for me. It is just a place where I look at entry titles to see which projects to focus on for the week, while feeling frustrated that the time assignments are so hard to decipher.

Lightweight and Easy to Use, but Team Setup Takes Time
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is lightweight and easy to learn, making it simple to use on a daily basis. I have relied on it for nearly three years in my work, and it helps me quickly assign time for myself and my team across various projects. It also gives me a clear overview of which tasks are currently being worked on, allowing me to stay organized and efficient. The Outlook Calendar integration is excellent and can be set up with minimal effort!
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting everything set up for the entire team can be a bit time-consuming.
Admins need to stay on top of new additions/updates or users risk falling behind with logging and/or reporting
Admins need to stay on top of new additions/updates or users risk falling behind with logging and/or reporting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float is helping my team report on the time invested in each project as well as scheduling work. I am able to autonomously create tasks in the projects that are assigned to me and thus can keep track of the different phases. The log time functionality helps me understand in retrospect how much effort was invested during each task. Also, the Outlook integration helps in seeing which of my coworkers - that are assigned to the same project as me - may be available in the coming days based on their schedule

Effortless Time Tracking—Float Gets Out of the Way and Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
First and foremost, ease of use. It is intuitive to both use and interact with, customizable, and having used other time keeping solutions keeps out of my way for the most part. Time keeping and logging my hours is something I want to spend as little time as possible on, and Float makes that possible by getting out of my way and letting me do what I need to do as fast as possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing. It's fantastic, easy to use and does exactly what good technology does which is to offer zero friction in doing what I want it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, as a creative person across multiple projects I have to log my time so that we can reconcile billed hours to the client (which is never not a nightmare) but with Float I find that I can do this with minimal effort.
Highly Useful for Tackling Resource Bottlenecks, But Room for UI Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
I find Float to be an exceptionally intuitive tool, particularly because its setup process was very simple, making it easy for not just me but also for others I trained. The straightforward nature helped ensure no major hurdles when starting out. I really appreciate how Float effectively addresses resource bottlenecks and simplifies planning for staffing on projects. It has become an integral part of our weekly meetings, acting as a central point for discussions regarding team time management. The feature that allows splitting time on the schedule is extremely useful, enabling us to manage project workloads on a daily basis rather than being constrained to weekly or monthly views. The logging feature is also great; it's very user-friendly, contrasting positively with other cumbersome timesheet systems we've experienced. One of my favorite things about Float is its overall design—it is aesthetically pleasing and designed with user experience in mind, showing a lot of thought and care from the development team. The customer service is outstanding; whenever I reached out for help, they were quick and keen to assist, demonstrating a strong support system even though we're not on the highest support tier. Their dedication makes a real difference. My positive experience with Float suggests that the company made a commendable decision in adopting this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the email invitations sent to new users cannot be rescinded once dispatched, leading to situations where adjustments cannot be made promptly. The feature that allows time splitting on the schedule has occasional bugs, causing issues when attempting to fine-tune the exact time splits, which can be frustrating during active scheduling. Additionally, the view customization in the scheduled time view is limited, allowing changes only between days, weeks, and months without finer control such as vertical and horizontal zoom for better adaptability. The project report section lacks the instant intuitiveness found in other parts of the software, making it less user-friendly. It's not clear and requires additional time to understand, unlike the more straightforward log and schedule sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float to solve resource bottlenecks and efficiently plan staffing on projects, significantly enhancing team collaboration through weekly meetings based on its scheduling tools.
