Gusto Mobile App Missing Desktop HR Features
Gusto's mobile app does not offer full feature parity with its desktop version, forcing employees to switch to a computer for certain HR actions even when they primarily use mobile for time tracking. This friction is particularly disruptive for field or deskless workers who rely on mobile workflows. The gap signals a product maturity issue rather than a standalone market opportunity.
