Love the new update

I love the new update. Everything is way more polished, and the shift swap seems way easier. Everyone who is hating just needs to get used to it. Also the people saying its hard to look at, it’s literally the same format but more polished??

Good

Please allow new update to allow swipe right and left through shifts when viewing All/Am/Pm. Rather than entering and exiting each calendar day (am/pm) shift. That would be a nice adjustment.

Update is horrible

New update is a complete downgrade. While trying to pickup a shift, it doesnt let you confirm it. Takes you to a page to leave a note for mgmt and no way to move forward. Please fix.

Can’t partially release shift

It keeps saying internal server error.

New update is absolutely trash

I have been avoiding updating this app bc of all the complaints i’ve heard from my coworkers. for some reason it decided to update by itself and now it’s just so slow, so confusing and just not a great layout there was no need for an upgrade especially bc i had to pay just to get it. i’ve moved over to the website because the layout is better than the app, still not as good as the original app but just seems like a waste of money
