I also wish thay i could disable features, such as being able to post your shift > > Sling is a great time management platform that is user friendly for management and employees. ----- ### "Good program- cheap and user friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Amanda** | *July 24, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cheap and user friendly for both administration and staff using the program for scheduling (clocking in and out) > > **Cons**: We would have to deactivate users as it was paid per user. To save money in slower seasons, we would deactivate staff ----- ### "My experience with Sling" — 5.0/5 > **Muna** | *January 22, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sling is simple and easy to use for scheduling. It makes shift planning and communication more efficient. Notifications help employees stay updated on schedule changes. > > **Cons**: Some features are limited in the free version. The app can feel slow or glitchy at times. Customization options are somewhat limited. > > my overall experience is very nice and i satisfied and i like i have become organized which make my life efficient. ----- ### "Sling Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jackie** | *May 17, 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how it’s an easy form of communication between an internal teaming\! Helping to stay connected to people in the company easier is key\! > > **Cons**: I can’t think of something I don’t like about it\! Perhaps if it had a calling option\! ----- ### "Sling is used to assist in co-ordinating our small teaching team." — 4.0/5 > **Blerta** | *May 23, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The swap shifts save literally hours of my life. If teachers want to swap classes, they do so themselves within the app. Also, it's nice to see who's available in case I need to call someone up to fill in for my teacher. I can use the mobile app to view the schedule between lessons without having to get to my desk. > > **Cons**: Occasionally, notifications are delayed which led to confusion when one of my colleagues' classes was rescheduled. Syncing of calendar does not always work well with our Google Calendar. Also desire it to be compatible with our student management system. > > Sling is adequate for our small language centre to use for some basic scheduling. It's much better than our old way of keeping track of it in an Excel spreadsheet. Overall, the price is good for the service we receive, but I wish we had more education specific features such as knowing which instructor was teaching the language level we were at. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/142542/sling?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/142542/sling) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
