ADP Mobile Solutions Reviews

Asside from ADP being slow to start up a lot of the UI uses “fancy fancy” components that aren’t what you would expect on your phone. See ting time in a time off request for example isn’t just a normal date time selection. Even more painful is changing your password (when it inevitably resets because apprent security). Changing the password requires a reset and if you use a password manager with generated passwords it is almost impossible to copy paste the password in either the whole app reloads when you switch in and out (because the password keyboard doesn’t work in ADP ) or when you want to paste the input box has the paste button show only for a fraction of a second. Resetting your password is also fancy fancy when you start typing a phone number in the “email or phone number” box it switches from a normal keyboard to a number keyboard but only about a second after you started typing so you loose focus or mistype because the keyboard suddenly changed. Overall a really painful experience I would have give it two stars if I didn’t have to just go through the password reset AGAIN!

One more complaint is the payroll compare this would actually be useful if it included your earnings.

Ive been using this app for about a year now. There’s been an issue twice where I can’t see my paystub for months. I’ve tried using the online support through the website and the chat bot doesn’t respond. I called the hotline and had my time wasted multiple times. I never was able to speak to a representative and they just said speak to my employer. When I spoke to my employer she took it up with this app and they sent her a link to set up a profile when I already had one started. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and this app would rather not lift a finger to try to help those who rely on their service for their own proof of income when there’s an issue with their systems.

Update: The email that you gave me to address my issue did the same thing that your hotline and online support for your website did. Nothing but say “your HR/payroll has to contact this app in order to fix the issue. (Which they have. I was in the office looking at the screen and listening to the phone call) I find it deeply disturbing that a company with such great responsibility over people’s livelihoods would take such nonchalant action with addressing these kinds of issues. Me and my employer have been more than patient with your company for over a year and still nothing

I honestly hate ADP would give 0 stars if I could. It takes almost 10 mins just to load ADP to clock in and that’s if your lucky. That’s only one of my complaints… the time card option is almost never accurate meaning it’s telling me the current pay period is feb 5th through 19th when it should be March 5th through March 19th so I can’t see any of my current hours which is really frustrating seeing as this is how I get paid so I feel as though y’all are playing with my money at this point. I’ve also had multiple problems just trying to log in I’ve had to reset my password 7-8 times within the past 5 months just to log in. ADP needs serious updates and bug fixes because this isn’t any ordinary social media/ for fun type app this is literally how people clock in FOR WORK! I’d also like to add that I’ve tried reaching out multiple times via email and have been straight up ignored. When your app is designed for people to clock into work the last thing you should be doing is ignoring people. This is how we who use ADP get paid for the long hard hours we work so you guys ignoring us and failing to fix these simple bugs and glitches is down right wrong and honestly just lazy. Do better.

Updated review: it’s still isn’t great. I still get an error message every time I log in and I don’t even know what’s it’s for. My app is up to date. And now it does this thing where it randomly decides to forget my fingerprint which is also SUPER ANNOYING. ADP freezes all the time. I’m lucky if I can log on without it freezing the first time. it baffles me that the ratings are so high on here, because ADP gives me nothing but a hard time.

Original review: ADP is honestly just terrible. Each time I log in I receive an error message. Don’t know why or what for but it still lets me into ADP . I get into ADP , it takes forever for the clock in button to show up. That is if it even shows up. Half the time a different error message comes up so I can’t even clock in. No time shows up, no buttons, just a red error message. It’s infuriating when I’m just quickly trying to start my day! So later on I always have to log onto the webpage and adjust my time card because ADP couldn’t just DO THE JOB ITS SUPPOSED TO DO. I’d much rather just log on using my computer each day but by the time I start my computer up, and the page loads up I waste 10 minutes of my time anyways. The webpage is slow and ADP is even worse.

I have never been more frustrated with a service provider in my life. I called to ask a question about Apple Pay and the customer service guy who barely speaks English blocks my card for “Suspicious activity” even though you have to pretty much give them all your life information JUST TO SPEAK TO THEM!!! My question is how if there was suspicious activity with my card when I called was I still able to ask them information ABOUT the card? Had me on hold just to tell me that they can’t do anything and that I need to send sensitive information to an email address which haven’t even responded to me. You guys are CROOKS. You lock my card when I call to ask a question. You tell me I’m suspicious ON MY OWN CARD which they ask for your social and employer and a whole bunch of information only the cardholder would know and that’s not enough. Your customer service is obviously outsourced in another county and the language barrier is frustrating when they don’t understand what you’re asking or can’t do anything. JUST GET A BANK ACCOUNT. I STILL don’t have access to my account and every time I call they give me the same answer. It’s not worth it. Worst experience ever. And I’m going to continue to spread the word about you to whoever will listen.

this app is a wonder concept, however if there is always a problem with it then it’s not good. There has to be a way to update ADP or make a better version of it. this app is a heavily used app by many many employers. The problem is that’s is always something wrong with it. And at first I thought maybe it’s just that some people don’t know how to use or navigate ADP . No, that’s not the problem. ADP is the problem because it’s always slow, or something is wrong where you can’t get into something and do what you need to do. For myself as a store manger ADP is really important to me!! When my employees can’t clock in or forget to clock in or out the fact that they can text me and I have the ability to fix their time no matter where I am is awesome. The fact that Sunday is usually my only day off and I don’t have to leave my home and drive to my store to submit payroll that’s a life saver. But when I can’t get into my peoples time or I have to remember to keep logging in and checking to see if I can send payroll that’s not helpful. It’s happening more and more and it happens to everyone. There must be a solution to this problem. Thank you so much for your time and interest.

I’m convinced there hasn’t been a decent update for ADP since it was released. ADP is SO slow and half of the time is lagging so bad it doesn’t log my clock in or clock out punches.
First off, the log in screen 🙄 good luck if you miss Face ID the first time because you’re going to have to close ADP and reopen it because the Face ID button in the upper right hand corner doesn’t work! When you finally do log in, you have to watch the ugliest, slowest, glitchiest graphic there ever was telling you once again that you’re in the this app app in case you didn’t know already after spending 5 minutes trying to log in. Past that point, if you’re lucky, the Home Screen will load. Other times, you’ll be left staring into the eyes of the spinning wheel of death waiting for it to load. Which eventually will lead you to closing ADP and going through all of that AGAIN.
The layout and style of ADP also just reads as dated and definitely needs a modern touch. If ADP actually worked and was easy to navigate and use, it would be great. Hopefully a face lift is coming up for ADP soon.

Update: every time I log in, it says I have a temporary password that can’t be re-used, which forces me to re-set my password. I don’t have a temporary password. It’s just a regular password.
Update: after ADP has been updated, it worked once. Now, two weeks later, it does not remember my password/tells me it is incorrect, and asks me to reset it upon login.

ADP used to work fine. Now, every time when I should be able to use touch, it asks for my password. I enter my password, and it tells me my password is incorrect. I re-set my password, and it tells me the NEW password is incorrect. I have only been able to log in once in maybe 3 months? Please fix. I also note several people have written similar reviews. I’m concerned about the lack of customer service and support given the problem is ongoing. Doesn’t speak well of this app.
Update: after receiving a “developer” response, they say I need to contact my HR for a problem with THEIR app not working?! It’s your app that is requiring and not recognizing passwords! Even more concerned that problems aren’t being investigated, but passed off.

When I first downloaded ADP it seemed to work fine. Now, after several days use information that I enter in ADP needs to be corrected/resubmitted through the online web site portal. What's more, when trying to contact email support for assistance I am required to select the category of my app problem from a drop down menu however the problem that I am experiencing doesn't seem to fit into any of the categories ergo I am not able to contact app support via email. What's more, I am told that others I work with are also experiencing problems with ADP . Fortunately, my company will shortly provide me with an alternative to the iPhone app and the from home computer login but it is disappointing and frustrating, nonetheless, to think that the information put into ADP is safely recorded only to find out that such is not the case some time later. What is infinitely more frustrating is not being able to find a way to contact app support via email regarding my problem without having to submit bogus information to get past the this app app submission form. I will delete ADP and use the online portal instead.

ADP worked properly for the first week, and I’ve fought with it every day for the next 2 years. I’m fed up and wanted to go out of my way to put a review here now because I’m just so done with it.
-app crashes, freezes daily
-ALWAYS, always, always forgets that I enabled the “log in with a look” feature. And when I say always, I mean every single time I open app. I can enable the feature, then it will accept my info and log me on, I do what I need to do, then log off. I then come back an hour later for some other task, and it will have the nerve to ask me to enable the feature again, and ask for a password to enable. As if i didn’t just do this earlier that day. I’ll set it up and then repeat. Finally o decide to just forget the face feature and just log on normally, but wait, ADP now constantly asks if I want to enable the face feature every time I reopen ADP . Essentially adding an extra step any time i want to just use ADP ! This is so frustrating and hope somehow developers magically know what they’re doing because this is the worst piece of application ever invented! I’d give it negative stars if i could

I have an IPhone 6 and I can't afford a newer one at the moment. I had a hard time understanding why this app doesn't fix their app bugs anymore. They should update the up for bugs as usually but my iPhone acts like it's hacked when I try to log into my this app app. It blanks the screen and throws me out of this app, and often times it's just citing me right when I'm about to clock in or out from lunch. It is a horrible app, I'm sort but it has mast up my daily clock ins and outs to the point of where my employer keeps reminding me to properly get to work on time or clock out ...
If I could use a alternate option for my job I would immediately do it.
Sorry this app, but you're a long way from professional. Even Chinese apps that often steal people's data are the least technologically doing a better job than this app with all do respect.
Thanks at least for giving me the option to express my opinion regarding your unprofessional service.

I give this four stars because it work well but when it doesn’t it can be frustrating. I have an iPhone 6S plus and can have issues with ADP . It periodically will shut down when I go to punch the clock it just goes back to my phone screen. Lately it kept asking me to re-do password and sometimes I user ID. And even asked me to redo my thumbprint three times in one week. Sometimes I shut my phone off and back on and it works or call actually delete ADP and then reinstall it. That often works too.
It tends to go through spurts like this and then works for weeks. All in all I really like ADP ! Having the availability to punch in before I get to my computer is great. I often can get sidetracked with people asking you questions before even sit down and easily forget to punch in. I would easily recommend anyone to try it.

Pro: punch in and out without messing with a time clock, allowing social distancing.
Most features are useful, though badly laid out.
Being able to see your hours and pay as you go through a week is great.

Cons: punch button and transfer button are so close you may hit one accidentally, adding to this, a slow internet or service connection causes the time to populate slowly, making the buttons jog down when you’re trying to transfer, causing you to hit punch. It’s badly laid out, and would make a lot more sense if the buttons were side by side, so as not to cause misalignment if the clock populates slowly.

Requiring full password every time you’re logging in on your phone. Unnecessary, and time consuming in a fast paced environment. Please update to a 4-6 number pin system, if it’s good enough for credit collection and banking apps, it’s secure enough for a work time recording app. Streamlining a user process should be priority 1 in building an app.

No ability to note incorrect punches or transfer updates to be found. If it’s possible, there’s no easy way to find it. Please either add this ability, or add a tutorial page on how to use it if the feature already exists.

Having an employee editable transfer and punch system would be highly recommended, not every punch and transfer is necessary, and even just a simple flagging system for incorrect punches and transfers would be useful.

ADP doesn’t function correctly when on the mobile network. ADP doesn’t work when connected to strong WiFi. It’s about a 50/50 chance that it will log your punches, sometimes it won’t log the punch even though it says it was successful. I have had to try and recall time cards from a week before, undoubtedly losing some of the time I should have had. So now every punch I make in ADP I have to also write down in a notebook.... seems a little ridiculous, why not just use an old fashioned time stamp machine at this point, if I have to write everything down anyways then what’s the advantage of ADP ? It does have nice features like being able to see all your pay history and stuff like that. Basically it has potential, but the major bugs prevent it from being anything other then an annoyance and a hindrance for myself and the payroll mngr who has to talk around an correct all the messed up times. Productivity stops, efficiency stops, the whole operation jams up on some level. If ADP ever gets fixed I’ll delete this or write a positive review.

EDIT: it took way longer than it should have to get back into my account, but discovered that the phone number on record was incorrect preventing me from getting texts. It would be nice to have a way to confirm your information to prevent these issues without having to go through HR, a call with the help center, and months of being unable to figure out the issue.

I loved being able to check my info quickly using face recognition. Somehow, though, I got logged out and when trying to get back in, my account got locked. I tried the “reset password” option but I never get the text and don’t have access to the email on file. this app suggests I contact my HR manager, but that still doesn’t work. We even changed the email on record, and it still only gives me the option for my old email. So now, I have nothing. Very frustrating.

How a multi billion dollar company can have an app like this is just ridiculous. UI fails like calendars that don’t pop up until after you’ve entered the date manually. no summary pages when you enter in data, no status for time off requests, some sort of weird calculator widget that no human would want when you’re entering in hours. Completely idiotic UI displays that show you your possible time off options but don’t let you tap that option to enter new time... silly me I should have known you have to press the other tiny button at the top that says request new time. What are the other sections of the page even for!?
Also if you switch away from ADP it reloads the page like a website and aggressively times you out. But please show me that stupid login animation again. I’m sure you’re proud of it.
Also why does the UI show a password box when fingerprint ID is enabled? That’s just confusing. just one of many dozens of design fails. The entire thing is just a master class in poor UI/UX design

I have only been using ADP for 3 weeks now and had to call Human Resources department to fix my pay. Because ADP said that I missed my punch out when I know for sure without a doubt that I didn’t miss a punch out. Because it will state after punching in or out that you’re punch was successful in which it did. Therefore shorting me hours worked. Also ADP automatically takes out a half hour for lunch break but we get paid for all of our time there. And it takes a while for the screen to appear at times it just runs really slow even when I’m right by the WiFi. So I think it could be a really good app because it would be convenient if it worked properly all of the time. I shouldn’t have to call my director of human resource and explain to them every week that something else went wrong. Now that’s what makes it inconvenient but if you could just fix those issues it would be great.

Everyone complaining that ADP is slow, laggy, glitchy, etc., are the ones who are trying to clock in at the last possible second. I have had no issues with ADP. Quick clock works like a charm. I did notice though that if I don’t close ADP after a quick clock, it will still say to “clock in” even though my clock in was already recorded. It’s a very easy fix, simply close ADP , reopen it, and press quick clock again. It will then say “clock out”. This is barely even a minor issue so it doesn’t bother me at all. Logging into the actual app takes like 5-8 seconds depending on your connection but once your in, ADP runs smoothly and quickly. I love all the features ADP provides.

I have ADP One Star because it never works properly. I work for a Duke n Duchess and in my area the Duke n Duchess stores, Dollar General and Family Dollar all use this app.
I can never clock in, the option never even appears for me and my Manager has to put me in manually. ADP constantly keeps changing my bank account information, and never saves my information when I manually repudiate it, always giving me “there’s been an error, please try again later”, it lags so slowly to log in, change screens, or even to log out.
When you ask it to find a bank so you can get money off of your card it tells you the banks are surcharge free, except that’s a lie and you’ll miss $3 per transaction
Support is never an option as the only support they have is a bunch of FAQs and even when you have your Manager email them or call them they still refuse to answer promptly
This entire business is unethical, and unprofessional and anyone that hires you that uses the Aline card and this app you’re better off quitting and finding a better job anyways

ADP forgets that you enable login with a look every single time you login. It asks, “Hey, would like to enable logging in with your face?” And you go “Hey, that’s great! Works with the cool features on my phone!”. You do what you do, then later that day when you go to clock out, and you’re like “oh yeah, I can just look at it to login!” NOPE LOGIN AGAIN PEASANT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENABLE LOGGING IN WITH A LOOK? “Erm... I thought I did but maybe it didn’t take or something...” HAHA NOPE I WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOUR DUMB FACE TO LOGIN BUT KEEP PROMPTING YOU EVERY SINGLE TIME.

For real, there’s a bug that literally never remembers your Face ID, but always prompts you, it’s very annoying. That and there’s another bug that will error out when you try to load the clock sometimes. But seriously, every update I get hopeful that the feature actually works, and every time I’m a little more deflated. At this point they should just remove the Face ID altogether, it’s obviously not working for more than just one or two people. It seems like the this app devs might have a very limited amount of devices to test on.

When I first got ADP, I thought it was useful. I still do. However, about a week later I got a second job (like a lot of people these days). My second job also uses this app. I had to create a second login for my second job. I think that ADP would be most useful if it allowed you to merge multiple accounts to keep track of all of your work schedules- it currently doesn’t allow you to do so. HOWEVER- it DOES merge your pay statements, but DOES NOT label them. So, on my login for Job A, I can see my schedule for Job A, my benefits, PTO, notifications and whatnot for Job A, but the Pay Statements shows pay for Job A and Job B, but it makes no distinction between payments from Job A and Job B, which is very irritating.
Also, minor point, but it would be nice to see more than today’s schedule on the dashboard, maybe a “your next shift” would be more useful (especially if you usually work early mornings), or a “next three days” view.
TLDR; Useful enough to use regularly, but just not useful enough to be very irritating and annoying.

ADP crashes a lot on iPhone I am constantly having to re log in due to ADP randomly crashing and every day when I try to enter my password the first attempt when clicking in the password box will kick me out of the text box and I have to click it again. I am a field service tech and this is not something I want to deal with every day while driving. Also this morning I wanted to request a sick day but I entered the day in wrong because for some reason ADP defaults the date to the next day so if I requested it on Friday it will default the date to request it on Saturday and I went and erased the request after I realized that happened and then I get a security message that they are logging me out for my protection and I was not able to log back in and correct this idk if this is a timed lockout but super frustrating when you can’t correct a mistake before the manager possibly approves it incorrectly bottom line I absolutely hate ADP it needs to much work.

I don’t enjoy emailing my boss every single week when I review my time card because ADP decides to “record” my punch but then actually doesn’t. My hours are ALWAYS off because of ADP and sometimes ADP will randomly clock me in or out when I’m not even using ADP . I end up with long explanations to my boss every week as to why my time card is a mess. And that’s just when ADP actually lets me use it. If I had a dólar for every time ADP crashes or just decides to not load I wouldn’t need a job to clock into at all. Unfortunately at my job we are required to use ADP more than just clocking in online so I’m stuck hoping these people will one day fix ADP. And it’s not just a problem for me, my boss is always reassuring me that she gets several emails from several employees every week just with time card problems to fix because of ADP. If ADP actually worked I would love the convenience of it, but it’s hard to like it when it never works.

There was a time, not long ago, when a employees would be able to see what was in their pay check. Then the employees company decided to switch to the this app mobile app. Woah is me cried the employees, woah is me cried the single mother, woah is me cried the HR lady as was flooded with emails and phone calls. Nobody could see what the percentage in pie graph form of how much the federal government was stealing from them. Around that time a most glorious of man freed three Americans from the evil grasps of North Korea, but I digress. The this app app with its lack of seeing ones pay check caused the employees to bounce checks, it caused the single mother to miss feeding her already malnourished child, due to the high price of goods and services caused by over regulation and taxation, it caused the HR lady to quit her job and not knowing who to discipline the company allowed improper behavior run rampant. Sexual harassment lawsuits became the norm as the men had no control over their libido and the company went bankrupt settling the cases out of court. All because the this app didn’t do it’s one job.

My job switched to using this app as its agency for payroll. I was never impressed, but I do acknowledge its usefulness. Everything that I used to have to access separately (paystubs, tax forms, benefit info,etc) is now mainstreamed on this app. That’s the great part. The not so great parts? Having to frequently log in and switch on Face ID within days (sometimes within the same day) of each time I log in to record my hours. And in general ADP is a bit slow. (just like the website, which for the record I also hate using because it keeps telling me I’m logged in somewhere else when I’m not and no one feels like deleting cookies or whatever every time I need to access the site so here I am with ADP . I’m thinking the developers just need to take more time with this stuff, honestly) 3 stars until this app steps their game up.

It’s a nice app, but it definitely has issues on my iPhone 6. While it’s convenient to have so much of my work information accessible from my phone, it’s terribly slow, and sometimes pages or menus don’t load at all. It was ok when I downloaded it a couple years ago, but it’s been this way for as long as I can remember now; months and months. On top of that, it’s very rare that a time-off request made in ADP will actually make it to my supervisor, so I have to do that from a desktop to be sure.

Besides that, it’s got basically everything the desktop site offers in your pocket; everything I regularly use, at least. You’ve just got to have the time to wait on it.

All in all, this works incomparably better than their awful mobile website does on iPhone Safari.

This is a great app and all, but like every great app it isn’t the best. One of the biggest issues with APD Is that sometimes it does not contact you in anyway let you know that you get paid, then there sometimes toward does contact you letting you know that you got paid. My dad also had this problem when his place of work used this app. Another issue that I have with it is you cannot request time off with ADP . There also pros to ADP . One of many being that you can check your schedule on ADP , and get some contact information about fellow employees That is allowed by the company. Another being you don’t have to go to a computer to check your schedule, but then again you have to go to a computer To request time off. That is why I gave a three out of five star for ADP.

ADP is horrible. The only reason companies would chose ADP is because it is free with this app payroll services, which explains why it is so cumbersome and user unfriendly. ADP does not fit well on the iPhone. It has no memory, so you are constantly scrolling to get back to where you were. It has no auto fill options or paste options. The only reason a company would actually choose to pay for ADP would be to torture their employees to get their pay. I would give it a zero if possible. Then this app will claim that certain features are only available if your company makes them available. That excuse may explain not having prepopulation options or pasting options but does nothing to fix the cumbersome nature of ADP or the fact that it is not iPhone friendly. The only thing worse than ADP is there web browser app, it is beyond cumbersome and I would rate it as user hateful.

I use this for work to clock in and out. It’s fine when it works, but about once a month, it forgets my fingerprint and I have to login with my password, which has long since been forgotten by that point. This means I have to go through the process of resetting my password and fingerprint. If it happens when I’m supposed to be starting my shift, I end up just taking a screenshot of my phone instead to submit to my employer so I can move on and reset everything when I get home.
The last straw for me was this Friday. I was able to punch in for a shift at the start, then when I was leaving and trying to punch out a few hours later, it happened AGAIN. My “fingerprint needed my password to be set up”. UM I ALREADY SET IT UP LIKE 6 TIMES.

Just way more trouble than it’s worth. I would absolutely use a different app if I had the option.

I regularly have issues logging in, punching in on ADP , randomly making me log in with my password when I have it set for fingerprint security. Consistently tells me there’s a server error on ADP when I try to punch in or out, but then shows me punching multiple times in one minute when I look at the browser interface. Also, problems mid-day? That’s when we all need it the most, and ADP is down?? Come on already. Clocking in and out is supposed to be easy, not a ten minute headache every time I try it. Please, make ADP less buggy.

Also, it doesn’t even show my time card in any viable way whenever I try to check it. People who have to use this don’t need something fancy. All we need is to clock in and out, and it can’t even do that right. This happens several times a month - come on! Get it together already.
