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.

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.

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

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be able to see where colleagues are without searching several printed sheets in the department- which were frequently out of date.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

Completely Broken

I had generally been a happy user of CLWrota. However, As stated in other reviews of this current version it does not allow you to go past the first page. The team needs to fix it quick please.

Failed

Since updating, no longer gets past start splash screen on my iPhone 4S. What was a reasonable app, now useless.

Avoid update

With this update can't get beyond opening screen. Avoid!

Crashes on opening

The update on 10/8/2015 made the app crash every time when you open the "My Rota" tab. Kindly fix it

Broken Again

Just when you think they have finally fixed they release an update that renders it useless again. Doesn't get past the initial screen now. Utter crap

Still crap

Needs sorting we pay good money for this
