"Easy to use"
What do you like best about Float?

It is easy to use. Only positive impressions has left after using it. It's very easy to learn to use and even thought the design is simple, there are some handy tricks going on that optimizes your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

There were no a single thing which was drastically bad.

Except one thing: I would love to have there more access levels. My management is using it for managing an increasingly large group of people and they need them to be able to edit anyone's schedule in their Department. Currently there is only "Project Manager" or "Member" and neither one suits the needs perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
