Awful update
I love the software. We’ve used CLW for years and I think the web based stuff is great.
But this new app update has taken a huge backward step in my view. The UI used to be so easy to navigate and really intuitive. The new one is clunky, hard to navigate, and doesn’t allow you to see everything you need on one screen.
I truly wish I hadn’t updated and I would hope the developers will bring back the old UI or at least improve the new one.

Terrible update
The app looks so much worse than it did before. It did not need an updated look. Everything feels much harder to see now. Please consider changing it back to the old format.
Horrific new update
Possibly the worst example of an update for update’s sake that I’ve come across. The new graphical user interface is terrible, highlighting all the wrong things and making it incredibly difficult to find the information that you actually need. Whilst at the same time spreading the information out over a large area, so more scrolling is required to see what you need. I hope they pull this new update and revert to the old GUI as soon as possible.

Awful update
The app before the UI re-design worked well and was useful. Could see a weeks rota on a screen but not anymore. Endless scrolling and very clunky. Now the UI is terrible. Honestly looks like UI is from years ago. Definite backward step.
Hi
UI change is terrible
Latest Update Worse
The colour scheme creates poor differentiation between days of the week. This needs correcting, so that it becomes clearer.
Overall the new look creates more confusion between shifts and is harder to interpret.

Only partially works
Despite being on the market app is still bugged. At least for the iPhone. One would not get messages or sometimes notifications would work and other times they would not. This is unfortunately puts a large burden and affects personal and departmental time management
Notification issue
There is significant issue with app which appeared few months ago. Despite proper settings on iPhone it does not send any notifications, not even about urgent messeges. Initially I thought it was something wrong with my phone settings but checked with Apple service and the settings look correctly.
It’s okay but..
No iCal Support.
Limited
Needs a feature to sync with personal calendars.
Lazy, dated and needs a refresh
I have been using clwrota for over 10 years now and little has changed over that time. Whilst once upon a time it was fresh, innovative and a game changer for rota management and end users to ascertain their patterns it has seen little progress since the early days. What I’d like to see is seamless, dynamic integration with google calendar or iCal

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback, since this review we have improved the app and it is now possible to link your CLWRota rota and leave to an external calendar application. Please contact support@rotamap.net for further support and advice.
Useful app but needs iCal integration
Our department has used CLW for many years. When it first came out it was a game changer - particularly as our two hospitals had merged. It is really useful to be able to see where colleagues are without searching several printed sheets in the department- which were frequently out of date. However, it really feels like CLW have made no progress with the app or API. My biggest gripe is that there is no iCal feed to populate your own diary. Most anaesthetists use electronic diaries for and this is a huge missing bit of functionality which makes having to check the app a daily annoyance.

Thank you for your comments. Please contact support@rotamap.net where we'd be happy to discuss feature requests in further detail.
Great app
This works really well with the service, even including offline access which is useful for hospital signal blackspots. My ultimate version would include a personal subscribable iCal and an iOS “Today” widget so fingers crossed for the next update…
A bit rubbish
Why does your leave always have to show everything you’ve cancelled- makes it so difficult to see what has been booked...
Still rather limited
Need more advanced features such as the ability to show more than one profile/login if you work at 2 different sites.
Response from developer
Hi TopDoc, If you still need this functionality, you can install our 'Medirota' app and log in to the second rota there. That will let you access two rotas together without having to log in again. Hope this helps, Peter
Terrible
Doesn't work, unable to log in even though I've got correct log in details.
Useless
The "stay logged in" option does not work. Extremely irritating to have to log in every few minutes, when co-ordinating in theatre. Frequently, it only displays the first two theatres, and doesn't load the others until the app is closed down and restarted. It also does not keep info offline, so in theatres where mobile signal is absent, it is also impossible to access the day's allocations.
It's good that it's now possible to check leave, and that contact phone numbers can now be accessed, but these need to be available as an "offline" mode

Crashes frequently
Can't handle rapid scrolling. Needs stability improvements. I've had to resort to the web app in the meantime and saving this to my home screen. Not reliable enough.
Nice intro screen!
Yeah, but can't keep seeing just the intro screen forever...
As noted, this version is broken folks! Downgrade to the previous version before it is too late (ie. backup trashed on your computer).

Broken
Updated App with iOS 7 and does not load rota anymore. Thankfully was able to go back to previous version!! New design no longer displays info like theatre contact numbers as the old style did and colour of rings on rota difficult to discern
