WorkTango Reviews

This new app lacks a ton of features available on the previous one. Can’t filter by anything useful like following, can’t get to profiles from posts, can’t see who I’m following or who is following me...I could go on, but why?
This should not have been launched with so much functionality missing.
The previous app was great. Used it way more than the website. I won’t be using WorkTango the way it is. If not made useful soon, deleting it. Not worth the space it takes up on my phone.

Something has changed in WorkTango. Now after inItial SSO sign in to WorkTango , switching between menus, exp from Notification to Rewards will require re-login and vise versa. Not able to do anything without keep logging in 10 - 20 times. On top of that, WorkTango does not give you a history of who you sent the points to. Not a great user experience.

This updated app is fresh for the company that was already delivering a great product. I know refresh of look and feel can be good, unfortunately, re-branding as Kazoo versus Youearnedit diminishes the acceptance of WorkTango and program. We have now gone from a name that everyone could understand and relate to, to one that by the dictionary definition is a toy instrument.

This seems like one of those great marketing ideas in a closed room at a conference table that everyone celebrated having a new meaningless name (that actually has a meaning) so they could take their new company any direction. In the end they named their company after a small tin joke toy.

Who wants a Kazoo point? Vs. YouEarnedIt?

And Kazoo HR? That really takes away from a progressive people focused approach back to old model HUMAN RESOURCES reminder every time you see its name now.

Dictionary.com - a musical toy consisting of a tube that is open at both ends and has a hole in theside covered with parchment or membrane, which produces a buzzingsound when the performer hums into oneend. Also called mirliton.

Slang definitions are too vulgar for app review, but at dictionary.com.

Rant over.

After being signed in for a few days WorkTango is rendered useless. I’m not able to view anything on my iPhone but I can see all the menus. And on my android it constantly tells me there’s an error and I need to retry signing in, but it won’t let me go to sign in screen. WorkTango just closes. I’ve had to delete and reinstall so many times on both phones. Also WorkTango doesn’t stay up to date with the website (for example, app still calls it Behavior Bonus). So disappointed.

I use this at work and I have been getting great feedback from my peers

Spend 5 minutes trying navigate WorkTango and you’re bound to find a glitch

Yes it’s nice to recognize each other at work but why not just talk face to face? The points can be exchanged for overpriced goods (something that would cost $25 you’ll get for $50 worth of points...) when I contacted support to ask how to deactivate my account I got no replies... so overall very shi**y...

Hi all. Overall WorkTango looks and woks good. However, the apple watch integration works randomly. One day it recognizes my activity and I get the points others it recognizes it again but it gives me 3x /5x / 11x or more the points. Pleas fix this! I would hate to have to disconnect it.

WorkTango stopped working! Keeps giving me the notification that there was a problem taking that action please try again, and it just keeps going in that circle and never works anymore. Was a great app until it crapped out.

I continually have to enter my company url when I click on an item it’s like it kicks me out then retype url. Once I’m in and the landing page loads I don’t even get time to recognize someone or even search their name before it sends me back through the sign in loop. Please fix ASAP

Overall works great! The only trouble I encounter is sometimes having to login again if I haven’t used WorkTango in about a week or so.

Refreshed look and feel is nice, but notifications need lots of work. There are several that you can’t click on to view the recognition, making them pointless, but annoying.

Love the Apple Watch integration for my workouts to get points right away! I love that I can redeem for my Starbucks gift while I’m at the store on the spot!

Wish I could upload a profile pic from my phone, but otherwise a good user experience.
