Float - From a Daily User's Perspective
What do you like best about the product?
We use float on a daily basis at work to create a daily agenda for each member of the team. It is very handy having pre-set different job types that can all be colour coded. I also like the notes section being hidden until you click in so that it is presented neatly. I also like that you can create a custom schedule dashboard that i can filter with certain peoples calendar's so that it isn't cluttered
What do you dislike about the product?
It don't like the layout when you are working over your hours for that day. I understand that it is done like that to show that you are working over your time but it doesn't look nice and promotes cramming jobs in even though they might take longer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us a centralised hub to create agendas that we are all familiar with at work, where different members of the team can add things to your calendar quickly and easily. It is also very good for seeing a large volume of different people's agendas while still being able to filter it to make it easy on the eye.
Easy to Use with Helpful Colour Coding and Cost Calculation
What do you like best about the product?
It easy to use and the colour coding and ability to input fees and calculate costs of work done is really helpful. The data produced is also difficult.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how on the schedule 15 minutes would we 0.25 hours but on the log it would be 00:15. It makes it difficult to flick between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to keep track of the hours I'm spending on a job and look at exisiting jobs and hours spent on them. This is useful when providing fees for new jobs.
Effortless Task Planning, But Needs Better Scheduling for Groups
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to use in adding tasks and planning out your day, week month & year
What do you dislike about the product?
You don't have the ability to find times that work for everyone involved when adding in a task that's got a time allocated to it. It was save so much time if you were shown the options that work for everyone
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising a team of 10+ people
Clean, Intuitive UI and Fast Onboarding Make This a Standout Choice
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is clean and intuitive. The speed at which you can both get up and running and onboard new users is also great. Feels like the right features have been added in the right places. We use Float every day to manage the scheduling of circa 50 delivery consultants. We have it integrated with Slack too.
What do you dislike about the product?
None that I can think of. Always been impressed that it does what we need it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Float to manage the resource schedule for circa 50 innovation and design consultants. Historically we had used Excel spreadsheets but outgrew these and they always worked well until calculation formulas broke. The clean user interface and views within Float allow us to see, at a glance, a view of the different people and teams workloads. Also like how easy it is to manage and make updates to the schedules.
Absolutely Love This Software!

It gives me a clear view on my week planning
What do you dislike about the product?
The e-mail notifications are not so helpfull. I miss information about the changes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves resource management in our organization
Easy Scheduling and Transparency, But Limited Editing Access
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to navigate and manage my schedule. I also appreciate being able to see who has added events to my calendar and when.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's frustrating that certain work boxes can only be edited by the person who originally added them, and no one else has the ability to make changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me clearly understand how much time and budget I have available for specific projects.
Clean, Minimalist UI but Task Allocation Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Very clean UI and colour/minimalist design. It is easy to understand scheduels at a glance
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding allocated projects/tasks to Float can be made more intuitive, such as the number of hours. Adding a new project initially is not very intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking into the future to see what projects I am assigned to, and for how long so I can prepare my time management
Great Timeline Visualization, But Filtering Needs Simplification
What do you like best about the product?
Seeing team schedule across multiple projects visualised in a timeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Filtering by job, team member or time scheduled vs logged feels overly complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projecting time available among the team and traffic planning for incoming jobs vs. existing commitments is very valuable. Tracking time against jobs helps us estimate future work.
Intuitive Project Management at a Great Price
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Float for its simplicity and intuitiveness, which makes it quite user-friendly, especially during the setup phase compared to other platforms. This ease of use has allowed my team to adapt and tweak our usage as new features become available. I find its visual representation to be one of its stronger points, as it is not overly complicated and perfectly fits our small team's needs. Float significantly simplifies project management and resource allocation by enabling us to easily see which team members are assigned to projects, track time, and monitor budgets efficiently. It has profoundly benefitted us by providing clarity on what tasks are underway and allowing for easy adjustments when plans change. This ability has enhanced our team's productivity and strategic planning, as we can quickly update schedules and identify potential downtimes or when we may need to pivot. Furthermore, I value its cost-effectiveness; it delivers great functionality at a reasonable price point, especially in comparison to more complex and expensive alternatives. The addition of new features continually strengthens Float, making it an ideal platform for managing our animation studio's diverse and evolving project needs. These features not only support the studio founders in making strategic decisions but also grant the entire team visibility into project progress, contributing positively to the likelihood of recommending Float to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the capabilities for sharing schedules could be greatly improved. Currently, there is little editability around this feature. I would like the ability to change the display format of schedules, like switching to a Gantt chart or a calendar view, depending on the client's preference. Additionally, I would prefer the option to edit and limit the details that clients receive, such as only showing main milestones and phases, rather than all project details. This editability would greatly enhance client communication via Float. The current ability to share a live link to the schedule is great, but some additional features around this would vastly improve its usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float for project management and resource allocation, simplifying the process for our growing team. It provides clear project overviews, helps with time tracking against budgets, and enhances our ability to manage complex projects effectively.
Effortless Planning and Clear Overviews for the Whole Team
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to get an overview, and everyone can see the same picture. Dragging and changing bookings is simple, which makes planning ahead straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
The log time feature is still not available for us, which is disappointing. I would also appreciate it if it were easier to see more detailed information about the name of the booking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time tracking and resource management are key features that help us maintain a clear overview of the entire agency. This allows us to stay organized and ensures we can monitor all aspects of our operations effectively.
