amazing app but tracking needs work

Pros

The mobile version is so handy to use and having everything in english is a must for us since we're an international team.

Cons

One thing I'd like to see improved is the ability to change someone from full-time to part-time hours and have the system track everything correctly. It should be easier to handle that.

easy booking but poor app

Pros

Booking things like holidays, sick leave, working from home and overtime is very easy with this and getting help from the support guys is always fantastic.

Cons

I much prefer logging into Calamari on my computer. The app isn't as easy to use and the view isn't as clear as it is on the website.
