There is nothing I dislike. This product is simple and does the only thing I need. I'm sure there are things that suck but I haven't run into them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy project overview"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

I love the ability to see my projects laid out for the days, weeks, and months ahead. Its UI makes it really seamless and easy to get all of the necessary info I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

The path from the timeline view to my personal user information which features project reporting is a little clunky, but that's all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

I'm sure as a PM it's great, but from an everyday user perspective it allows me to have a robust snapshot of all of my incoming work and allows me to keep track of time and projects I've been on for reporting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a user of Float rather than a PM, so for me it's all about planning and managing my own time ahead of schedule and Float captures all of that information for me really easily and simply, making planning and flagging anything in my timeline really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

I love how easy to use the software is, it is great for new learners and not difficult to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I think it would be better to make Float more inclusive to PM and production needs such as budgeting. It would also be better if you could temporarily add users such as freelancers for 30 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
