### 3/5 — Can we get an update

*2025-01-22, version 1.0.5*

It’s said coming soon forever now and I know android users can do so but if we were able to change the color it would be nice the yellow just makes it non readable

### 3/5 — Cannot change shift color

*2024-08-06, version 1.0.5*

Tried customizing my calendar but I am unable to change shift colors. It just says more settings coming soon.

### 4/5 — Very good app with some small hiccups

*2024-07-14, version 1.0.5*

Good app for tracking shift-days and off-days. I wish you could write notes in on certain days…like if you pick up OT or came in late for some reason.

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2024-06-22, version 1.0.5*

Does what it’s supposed to do. Simple with minimal ad space. 

Developers: please make it obvious what day it is. Like what the current day is. It’s annoying to open the calendar and not know what day it currently is. I know it’s minimal and I shouldn’t be so dumb to not know what day it is… but we all know the fire life mixes days together.

### 4/5 — More Colors

*2024-01-05, version 1.0.5*

I love the app. Just wish it had two more colors (white and gray) to make it look more like our shift calendar.

### 4/5 — Need ability to change labels

*2023-05-03, version 1.0.5*

Nice simple app. My department has an uncommon shift pattern and this app has it.  It seems like the developer has not supported this app in a long time based on other reviews. Everyone is asking for the ability to change shift labels. Seems like that feature would make sense. For me, the actual colors are fine but I need to change A to green B to blue, and C to red.

### 3/5 — Highlighted days

*2021-07-27, version 1.0.5*

I like this app, but the one huge issue I have with it is that it dose not highlight what day it is. So If I forget what the date is today I have to look at my watch figure out the date then I can look at this calendar to figure out if I work.

### 4/5 — Works good

*2021-07-02, version 1.0.5*

App works good. Lots of shift options. Would love an option to change shift colors.

### 4/5 — Need customisation

*2021-01-19*

Great app, but would be nice to be able to change shift colours like Samsung can

### 3/5 — Works but wish you could adjust colors

*2019-10-26, version 1.0.5*

App works for what it’s needed for but the color associate with the days is wrong for my dept.  I wish we could change the setting.

### 4/5 — I phone 6

*2019-09-27, version 1.0.5*

I there a way to change colours.  I did it with my Samsung. Would be willing to buy full version but no luck

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2019-05-15, version 1.0.4*

App is pretty good and works well for me to see my days off, especially since we go by blue, red, and green color groups at work.  I do have a few gripes. For one, I can’t change the color which is dumb because my days off show as a different color. Also, I wish there was the ability to customize more, as in be able to write things in the calendar blocks. Overall it’s still a decent app for tracking working days vs days off.

### 2/5 — Had android version

*2019-01-28, version 1.0.4*

Had the android version and it was awesome. The iOS version is ok. Would give 5 stars if you can change colors. But it has said more settings coming soon for over a year and a half now

### 4/5 — Colors

*2018-11-24, version 1.0.4*

I had this app on Android and loved it but it had the customizable colors option. When will this be added here?

### 2/5 — Needs more features like notes on the date

*2018-10-02, version 1.0.4*

Needs more features like notes on the date

### 4/5 — Basic but it works.

*2018-02-10, version 1.0.4*

A very basic app but gets the job done! You can offset the days to match the shifts up with your own shift schedule. Not bad for FREE! I do look forward to maybe a few more options like changing the colors to match my departments shift calendars (red, blue, yellow). Thanks!

### 3/5 — 2020?

*2018-02-04, version 1.0*

What’s going on? I haven’t had any problems with this app until today, when it caused me to have a scheduling conflict because it seems to think this is 2020 instead of 2018! Please fix this problem ASAP!

### 2/5 — Calendar showing 2020

*2018-02-03, version 1.0*

I’ve used this app for YEARS & never had a problem until recently. Something has happened on both iPhone and iPad on this app showing a Calendar for 2020?? It doesn’t allow a person to look at current year which obviously is 2018?? Can you fix this issue?? Thanks stressed out Fire Wife that relies on this Calendar A LOT!

### 2/5 — Only showing me year 2020...

*2018-02-03, version 1.0*

This app has been awesome but now it is only showing me the year 2020... it’s 2018!!! And I can’t look back in previous years. PLEASE fix this so I can give 5 stars. So right now, the app is pointless unless I’m planning something for year 2020...

### 3/5 — Needs new update

*2018-02-03, version 1.0*

Simple app, does what its supposed to do. But as of recently, it shows schedules for end of 2019 and full calendar year for 2020. So needs a quick patch

### 1/5 — Wrong year

*2018-02-03, version 1.0*

The app is showing 2020 and it won’t let me select this year.

### 1/5 — It’s not 2020

*2018-02-03, version 1.0*

Shows that it is year 2020. App is useless now.

### 1/5 — It’s a no from me

*2018-02-02, version 1.0*

I have used this app for quite some time. Then like most reviews, my app crashed. I deleted the app and updated my phone and it began to work for me. Then at the new year, we apparently skipped a few years as the calendar is set for 2020. I have tried to fix it, but I simply give up. I guess I’ll reinstall it in a couple of years.

### 1/5 — Just quit working

*2017-12-26, version 1.0*

Like others my husband and I have used this app forever with no problems. Then out of the blue a few weeks ago the screen just went black. No updates. No error messages. Just quit working. I tried to email the developer—no reply. Guess they just gave up and quit with no warning. ??? Which is very frustrating When you depend on something daily for schedules and then it just quits!! 😡 Used to be a great thing. Not anymore.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-12-21, version 1.0*

I got this app to keep track of my significant’s others schedule and now the app will not work I have uninstalled and downloaded it again and still no change I do have a iPhone if that makes a difference!😡

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2017-12-21, version 1.0*

I’m having the same black screen problem as other reviewers.  Also tried deleting and reinstalling without success.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2017-12-19, version 1.0*
