### 5/5 — Perfect FIFO app

*2026-06-09, version 6.7.0*

The only app you need if you FIFO. User friendly and Andrew is a legend.

### 5/5 — My fav FIFO app!

*2026-06-09, version 6.7.0*

I’ve tried heaps of other FIFO roster apps over the years and this one is by far my favourite.

Being able to see both my roster and my partner’s roster side by side, including overlapping time off, makes planning life so much easier. No more trying to compare calendars and work out when we’re both home!

Also, the customer service is next level. I had a small issue and Andrew contacted me within 10 minutes of submitting a support request, walked me through it, and had it sorted straight away.

You can tell this app was built by someone who actually understands FIFO life. Highly recommend! 👌🏼😊

### 5/5 — Top notch support!

*2026-05-29, version 6.7.0*

I was having some issues working out how to upload my new roster to the app. Sent a message at 1.20am asking for help and within minutes Andrew replied, along with screenshots and step instructions on how to load up my new roster. Unbelievable help/support/service. I’ve been using this app for years and can’t rate it enough, it’s the best one to get 👌

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-08, version 6.6.1*

Great App and easy to use. Would be good to see some widgets developed to have set on the Home Screen.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-12-19, version 6.6.0*

The FIFO Life app is really easy to use, the support provided by Andrew the developer is second to none. I highly recommend this app to anyone working shift work.

### 5/5 — Can’t live without it

*2025-11-21, version 6.6.0*

Hands down the best roster app for fifo workers. Easy to use and set up. Easy to plan appointments etc on your time off. Well done

### 5/5 — At a touch

*2025-09-25, version 6.6.0*

You can see where you are at. Which takes the stress out of trying to see if you are going to be home 6 month a head of time. I have used it for years and  had to change roster for myself or my husband and it  has never failed.

### 5/5 — Working again

*2025-09-10, version 6.4.0*

Had some issues, emailed Andrew and he was very fast to respond 
All working again 
Thanks Andrew 👍
