Developer is slow to respondwhen issues have been presented. Keeps promising they will be fixed but it’s been over a year and nothing has been done. They have no issues taking your money though. 😞 ### 2/5 — Needs work *2024-08-31, version 7.0.1* Geeat calander, but it keeps wanting you to pay, and unfortunately there are better free ones out there. I love the app but way to buggy. ### 3/5 — Good function, could use aesthetic updates *2024-03-17, version 6.2* App works fine, would just like to be able to take away the square around the holiday dates as my eye gets drawn to it immediately. Or leave the square and fill in the entire cube of the date with the color of choice. ### 4/5 — Nice organizer *2021-08-08, version 5.2* Been using it for years now and besides some minor glitches, it’s been pretty helpful for schedule stuff, on and off duty. I liked the original color scheme better - gray background with black text for the appointments/trades/training/etc letters. It was easier to read than the white background with gray text. ### 5/5 — Fire Cal 2021 *2021-02-12, version 4.4* My is great App 👍🏾 ### 4/5 — Great app and customer service *2020-12-28, version 4.3* The only reason I gave this app four stars is b/c it has crashed for me a couple times. However, this has hasn't happened recently aaaand the customer service is outstanding and quick. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Review *2020-11-23, version 4.3* Very easy to use and to read!! ### 5/5 — Works Fantastic *2020-09-14, version 4.3* This app helps me daily and I use it instead of my departments calendar ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-09-08, version 4.3* This is the app that I use regularly and I love it ### 5/5 — IAFF ProCal *2020-09-03, version 4.3* Love the app. Easy to set up & use for any shift schedule. Perfect for firemen. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2020-08-28, version 4.3* When I was an active firefighter I would use my checkbook calendar to keep track of my shift days. Now retired, at a glance I know which of my friends are on shift or if my don is on shift. Wish this was around to use back then. Good job ! ### 5/5 — I’m not even a fireman :) *2020-08-21, version 4.3* Ok so my husband is a fireman. Yes this app helps me keep his shifts straight. AND it helps me keep MY shifts straight- I’m a nurse, the paydays that are highlighted are also my paydays, I have a rotating regularly irregular schedule. I can look MONTHS ahead on this thing and know if I’m off or not to plan for an event. USEFUL. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn’t open *2025-01-27, version 7.1* Keeps crashing and it won’t open in the new IOS update 18 ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-12-18, version 7.0.1* App will appear to open for a split second then immediately closes automatically. I’m assuming had not worked since last IOS update. ### 1/5 — Asks to renew subscription, no link *2024-08-24, version 7.0.1* This app craps out very few months or so. Solution was to close and re-open. Now it wants me to renew subscription , but provides no such link or instruction on how to do so. Moving to a different app. ### 1/5 — Renewal problems *2024-08-22, version 7.0* Regularly prompted to renew this app…. I’ve had it for years. Now it won’t renew and I’ve lost my information. Basically unreliable for what should be a super simple app ### 1/5 — Brutal *2021-11-04, version 5.2* I can’t use the app without agreeing that my subscription is coming to an end and when I go to verify, the app crashes. I try going to “contact us” and it crashes as well. Just deleted it for something else. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — App will not accept my subscription renewal *2021-02-26, version 4.4* I paid for the 12 month subscription renewal, but the app is asking me to purchase again and will not work properly. The instructions on your website to fix this issue are not working and the link on your website to contact you is also not working. Just beautiful ### 1/5 — Missing days *2020-10-19, version 4.3* I went to put my key days in and January is missing the 2nd so going from the 1st to the 3rd is quite a big issue ### 1/5 — Verify purchase *2020-09-17, version 4.3* It continues to ask me to verify purchase then doesn’t let me enter new information ### 1/5 — Review *2020-06-19, version 4.1* Terrible user ability on an iPhone and constant problems with renewal and getting help to retire usability. Was just charged for another year and still can’t see my shift or any shift for that matter, plain black and white and will not restore. Limited help that doesn’t work from the contact and no phone to help walk through the problem. Will change my credit card as to not get charged again for no calendar. Would NOT recommend this app to others. ### 1/5 — Good up until now *2020-06-09, version 4.1* The app was ok. Helpful for keeping my firefighter stuff in order. A few weeks ago it stopped working again. The normal once a year subscription issues. I still had time left on the subscription. Same issues that you see in multiple posts here. I contacted the support email. They got back to me saying I was back in. I tried to log in but it said the “a partial backup was done”?. Well all my info was gone. It said “no back up found”. I know I did a back up a couple weeks prior to it buggering up. Now the support hasn’t replied to my last 3 email over the last couple weeks. So I guess in SOL.. and need to get my money back from the automatic renewal and find a new app. Any suggestions? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-20, version 6.2* Hey great app have used it for years has never let me down. The new update though is not letting me login. It says I’m logged in but the calendar doesn’t pull up. Please help. ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy *2024-02-13, version 6.2* Creating schedule is easy, so convient to look ahead with confidence in the calendar ### 5/5 — Vacation tracking *2023-09-28, version 6.1* Suggestion. Currently you must make an entry on each day to denote leave or appointments. What is the possibility of making multiple day “Lasts”? Currently, one can only go up to 23h 59m. For those on days tours this is a cumbersome task loading 2 or more weeks of A/L, S/L or C/T. Just a thought for January 1st. Thanks ### 5/5 — 5 *2023-09-21, version 6.1* Best app for shift work! Keeps up with everything from the job to off duty activities. ### 5/5 — Used it for 12 years now. Absolutely love it. *2023-08-14, version 6.0* I love this app! I was able to program the shift setup for my 48/96 schedule, and I found a way to incorporate my wife’s rotating post office days off into it ( had to expand the shifts to like 28 days, but it worked! ). So, now I can plan appointments, fishing trips etc with ease. Also, I noticed today that I can add custom events, like part time work, into the calendar. The yearly subscription is absolutely worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-01-03, version 6.0* Works well ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-03-10, version 5.2* I paid for this app and it doesn’t work, all it does is say verify ### 5/5 — This app is now junk!!! *2021-10-16, version 5.2* I used to like this app, but now it's a royal pain in the drain!!! I am a retiree firefighter spouse, & we still have 2 soms & 2 grandsonsthat are firefighters, I was given a year's subscription last fall because of the major snafu's I was having, them when they wanted me to verify my purchase, I bought another year's subscription on top of that one!! For about 2-2.5 wks the app won't let me sign in even after changing my password, & I have told the support team about the problem, except for giving a support person my user name since he said the app had recently been updated n was having technical issues & he would help, then Jan 5, I requested to reset my password, I was sent a code, used it, set a new password, & STILL can't log in!!! I have contacted support person once again, no reply yet!! Hate to do it, but am turning on the calendar that came w/this phone, n as soon as I get all my dates off this calendar, I'm done!!! Update 2019: for about 1-2 yrs the Alsrm on Remind me about the appt will NOT go off since the iOs updates on my iPhone, I am goingvto try to renew for 2019 since my subscription expires Jan 8, 2019, I have been told for several days the app is unsble to be accessed thru iTunes n to check back in later, it best work, I can’t lose the appts in the calendar!!! ### 5/5 — Happy *2021-03-10, version 4.5* Love the ease of use this app ### 5/5 — The app *2021-03-05, version 4.5* I’ve been using this app for over 6 years and I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
