Quite easy scheduling and also for booking time off. > > **Cons**: Location access was not always accurate, and was easy for employees to falsely modify hours. Customer support eventually helped\! > > Overall Homebase was a very easy, and reliable workplace app that made scheduling and time sheets a breeze. ----- ### "Good scheduling app, easy to use" — 4.0/5 > **Bill** | *February 20, 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It provides notification for employees and it has scheduling that's easy to access > > **Cons**: I didn't like the fact that I couldn't do anything else on Homebase other than scheduling - I already have QB for accounting. > > It was generally easy to use - and I really do enjoy the easy notification for employees. ----- ### "Simple, Reliable, and Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Radha** | *April 20, 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciated the Homebase marketing app because it streamlined marketing activities into one platform. It was intuitive to use and made it easier to launch campaigns, communicate updates, and monitor results without unnecessary complexity. > > **Cons**: Some functionalities felt limited, particularly when trying to tailor campaigns or access more detailed insights. > > Overall, my experience with Homebase was positive. The marketing app was user‑friendly and helped streamline everyday tasks like scheduling promotions and managing communications. While some features were fairly basic, the platform was reliable and efficient for its intended purpose. ----- ### "This is a great place for scheduling and team communication." — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *November 23, 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the scheduling part as it is super easy to navigate. This is super beneficial for adding time off, appointments or remembering holidays. > > **Cons**: I don't like how you have to pay for premium features, but I understand that is how Homebase makes money just like any other site. AKA thus far I have no complaints. This is a great app and its easy for my staff to use. > > This is a fantastic website/app. I use this mainly for scheduling and staff communications. It is easily navigational for my staff and very user friendly for my use too. This has been as asset to my work place. Staff can request days or time off with ease. This is also fantastic to help with payroll budget tracking. You can also keep track of staff information like emergency contact etc. which is a necessity to have on hand. There is a timeclock built into this app which I don't use, however, from what I explored of that portion of the app it is very helpful too. One of my favourite features is the hiring aspect of this app. You click on the hiring tab and you can post one job listing that will translate to all hiring sites I know of (Indeed, google etc). This is perfect to get all the resumes in one place and it tracks things like if they have their foodsafe certificate, or any other requirements. Long story short - 100% would recommend. Try the FREE version and see what it can do for your business. ----- ### "Homebase Review" — 2.0/5 > **Junaid** | *March 4, 2025* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It handles employee weekly pay easily, job scheduling, and in-app messenging. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is horrendous, very difficult to navigage scheduled jobs, assigned jobs, and completed jobs. Cant add job photos, hard to tell if a shift was picked up by an employee after posting. Using the desktop version is not feasible as we need to access the app on the go. > > Not great at all. Terrible user interface and everything seems scattered. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/153076/homebase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/153076/homebase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
