## Review summary

Users find Personio's Android app useful for basic HR tasks like scheduling absences and viewing payslips, praising its simplicity and syncing with desktop. However, recurring issues detract from the experience: the app often logs users out unexpectedly; biometric login is inconsistent; time tracking lacks essential features such as editing hours; and the absence of a functional calendar reduces usability. Reports of crashes, loading problems, and UI bugs are common, leading some users to prefer the browser version over the app.

### Pros

- Good for scheduling absences and viewing payslips.
- Easy and intuitive user interface for basic tasks like time tracking and vacation requests.
- Syncing time tracking with desktop app works properly.
- Provides some useful employee information like vacation status and attendance times.

### Cons

- App frequently logs users out or forgets login information, causing repeated logins.
- Fingerprint biometric login is unreliable, often requiring extra steps or failing altogether.
- Time tracking functionality is limited and less user-friendly compared to iOS version, lacking features like editing hours.
- No comprehensive calendar view to overview absences or team vacations; desktop features are missing in-app.
- Crashes and bugs occur, such as white screens, loading issues, and problems with absence date selection.
