I was able to use it easily on my iPhone, any suggestions for the iPad usage... Only 2 stars cause it doesn't open on my iPad. ### 1/5 — NA *2014-07-12, version 1.7* Same for me, thought this app was great once I figured it out. Hasn't worked since upgrade. Can you fix it??? O rating for me now, it doesn't work. Was a great app., still doesn't work after latest upgrade. ### 1/5 — Said bugs were fixed *2014-07-06, version 1.6* Still deleting calendar when app is closed. When is this problem going to be fixed? ### 1/5 — App does not launch *2014-06-23, version 1.6* Just downloaded the app and it fails to load. I cannot access any settings or options. My iphone software is up to date and all other apps work fine. Please fix this issue or refund my money. ### 1/5 — No good *2014-06-10, version 1.6* Closes when you click on it. Still doesn't work withIOS 7.1 ### 1/5 — Crappy app *2014-05-20, version 1.6* This app is horrible. The guy who said the app worked great, obviously has never used it. I have been waiting over a year for this to work. I would rate this app zero stars but you have to at least rate one star to send the review. Lame. ### 2/5 — Updates *2014-05-02, version 1.6* Once you have adjusted the app to your needs and the app is closed, reopening the app at a later date resets app to the begging, please fix thanks. ### 1/5 — Will not work *2014-04-08, version 1.6* Crashes as soon as it tries to open ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-04-06, version 1.6* Looks like a great app just what i needed but it will not work or load up. Please fix asap or refund me my money or a complaint will be going in. Thank you for all your help in advance. App still not loading up when i click on it, even after update. Please fix or refund money. Iphone5s ### 3/5 — Glad it's back!! *2014-03-24* I've constantly checked to see if there has been an update for this and I'm so glad it's back! By far the best app. Still need fixes tho. No longer has the pre set schedules in it that you can just use. You have to make your own. Hopefully they fix it and make it how it used to be. For now this will do. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Good when it works *2014-03-23, version 1.5* Updated today, now won't open at all! Good rota app when it works though. Please fix this ASAP or give us our money back to buy another rota app. ### 1/5 — Iso7 update *2014-03-21, version 1.5* Same here, you wait so long for an update, they finally put one out and it does nothing. You pay for an apt you would think it would work, this apt had been down since October 2013 ### 3/5 — IOS 7 Update *2014-03-19, version 1.5* Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but noticed there was a new update, tried opening the app, my screen goes black and the app won't load, what can I do to fix this? ### 1/5 — Still doesn't work! *2014-03-18, version 1.5* Just updated the app and it still doesn't work. All it does is crashes. I would of said this was the best calendar out there a few months ago, now all it does it take up space on my phone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-09* Honestly worst ems/ fire calendar out there. A pen and paper is better than this ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-06-26* It just keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2023-10-23* app exits when editing Not easy to understand Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-05-28* This app does not work properly. Even after going over the instructions it does not plot my shifts correctly. It seems to do its own thing. Wasted 30 minutes trying to build our schedule in it. **Developer response:** Sorry for your problems. It's not clear what the issue is. Did you try to reach out to support? Please send us an email at info@trekmedics.org and we'd be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Not customizable *2017-04-17* The calendars believe. ### 1/5 — Not great *2015-01-23* The app needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. ### 1/5 — DON'T waste your money!! Stay away from this app. *2014-11-20* This is the third time I've come back to this app to give it a chance. I purchased it, so I hoped it would eventually get straightened out. Not a chance! This app is the worst Fire/EMS Calendar I've ever seen. I won't be back. ### 1/5 — Still not working *2014-11-03* Unless I just need some instructions on how to use this app, which I can't find...just trying to create my own shift calendar and it can't even keep a day a certain color without messing up when you move on to the next 48hours, really frustrating. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-09-14, version 1.10* Rubbish, doesn't work especially for british fire service ### 1/5 — Fire mans wife *2014-09-02* Horrible program! Just a big waste of money! Wish I could get refunded! You have to put every color for shifts in individually! Too labor intensive! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE it *2016-03-21* Not sure why so many people have issues with this app. Great customer support and it's the only shift calendar for multiple departments. The best. Hands down. ### 5/5 — Works great since the latest update! *2014-09-13* My purposes are pretty simple: tracking which shift it is. So I have zero complaints! ### 5/5 — This does not work *2014-08-27* After receiving a message from the developers, there was an unknown problem with this app and the iPad. They have since corrected the problem and now the app works as advertised. I give these support people 5 stars now, and for now I will give the app 5 stars as well. Thanks for fixing the problem guys! ### 5/5 — Still not working *2014-04-19, version 1.6* Updated app but still not working.. Can you fix please. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2014-04-14, version 1.6* JF You're the man. App is working great. Hope all is well on the east coast my old friend. Keep up the "good" work and twirl those plates! I'll be encouraging others to get the ecal. JDR - 413 ### 5/5 — App crashes! *2014-04-05* I love this app and was so happy to see it finally was updated BUT every time I try to open the updated app it crashes!!! Please fix this! It's a great app. UPDATE: if you newly updated app is crashing...you will have to delete the downloaded app and re-download the new version. Works like a champ now! However, I lost my old data so make sure your write it down. UPDATE AGAIN: App seems to work great for a while, but two times recently I've accessed it and it's reprogrammed back like when I first downloaded it! I've lost my all my calendars and have had to re-add them. I'm losing my data. This app is not reliable or consistent. Very unhappy. ### 5/5 — Broken :( *2013-09-25, version 1.4* I'm with the other guys, this is the best rota app but now not working. Would never have updated my phone if I had known this wouldn't work . Hope they get it fixed ### 5/5 — iOS 7 *2013-09-24, version 1.4* Great app. Stopped working after iPhone ios7 update. ### 5/5 — Alz *2013-09-23, version 1.4* This app is or should I say was the best thing I could use as a firefighter for keeping track of my shifts but just updated my iPhone to latest software an doesn't work I'm gutted please fix it, we all need this app !!! ### 5/5 — Quality *2011-05-27, version 1.4* The perfect calendar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
