Highlighting the current day of the week in a different colour. The bold numbers only is difficult to see. Perhaps even changing the date into bold + a different colour. That can’t be difficult to code 2. Adding a “today” button, so that when you scroll through different months of the schedule, to get you back to today, you can reach with a click of a button 3. Again MASTER SCHEDULE VIEW—-I appreciate that you can click on the people icon, but it’s still cumbersome to only be able to view one day at a time. A separate dedicated view of the entire month master schedule would be very handy when looking to trade shifts. 4. Again PUSH NOTIFICATIONS WHEN SOMEONE POSTS A SHIFT. At present, if any of us post a shift for trade or giveaway, NONE of my colleagues know unless they specifically check for a posted shift. We all have to message each other on another app to inform, which defeats the purpose of posting it on the app. A simple push notification on our smartphones (along with an email notification) when someone posts a shift would be SO HELPFUL. If concerned would be too intrusive, add a toggle to turn them off for the individual. Please make these changes as soon as you can. We’re finding as an organization that, as it stands, MakeShift is not improving our productivity as much as we thought it would, and some minor changes could make it so much worthwhile for us. I think anyone else who uses this app would find these changes helpful also. Thank you :) ### 4/5 — Good app, would like to know who messages are sent to *2020-12-04, version 3.18.0* My shift supervisor sends some messages to the group, and some messages just to me, but I can’t tell the difference because it doesn’t say who the message was sent to. It would be nice to tell if a message was sent just to me, or to others as well. ### 2/5 — Could be good with fixes *2019-11-19, version 3.15.0* This app has potential but I also had error messages when trying to sign in through ADP. It doesn’t sync with ADP because my password still hasn’t updated. The app should also support finger and face scanning for login. ### 3/5 — Three stars! *2018-04-24, version 3.6.0* I like the app but it still will not let me sync to my schedule to my calendar on my phone ### 4/5 — Need time zone updates/changes!! *2015-09-02, version 2.0.8* Great app, but when I tried to sync it to my calendar, it's all one hour ahead. Very frustrating!! ### 1/5 — How to use *2015-01-27, version 2.0.2* As open app ask for ID and password even no option for new user or new registration... ### 4/5 — It's alright *2014-12-16, version 2.0.1* It works better than it looks. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* I work at a restaurant chain and we were told to use this app for our schedules from now on. So much better than the paper schedule that we had posted on a board in the backroom. I really like the fact that I can trade shifts through the app without having to call all the other servers. Pretty happy right now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Constantly crashing *2025-12-31, version 3.26.0* The app hasn’t let me open it in days due to crashing 5 seconds after tapping it ### 1/5 — Removed a feature *2025-11-28, version 3.25.0* Loved the app before they removed the feature to see who you are working with..I work in a department where we have leads and we have to know who we are working with just in case of an emergency and we must let shift lead know . Me and all my coworkers that have been using it have all been complaining about it and the morning shifts have been crazy because we don’t know who is gonna work n who to text to be late. We also would use the app to exchange with people from morning to night shift or vice versa.. Honestly if you guys add the feature back that would be a game changer for everyone.. ### 1/5 — Cutting money *2025-07-20, version 3.25.0* App is cut money 2 times in month ### 1/5 — Sessions Expiring are Useless *2024-05-27, version 3.21.0* Good overall functionality and quality interface. The problem is the inactivity function updated into the newest version. I have multiple logins so I can’t use the facial recognition. Now I have to login every time I need to check my schedule or use the app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-12-27, version 3.18.7* Very glitchy. Won’t let me sign in keeps giving me an error. ### 1/5 — ADP Vantage *2019-10-22, version 3.15.0* I’m very upset over the fact when I try to log into MakeShift through ADP, specifically ADP Vantage. I get directed to a white screen with code wording giving me an error. I am in need of logging into this application through those specifics. It’s very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2019-03-10, version 3.12.0* Waste of time can’t see your coworkers schedule so you can change shift. ### 1/5 — Brutal *2019-01-09, version 3.11.0* My boss told me to try this app, it’s garbage, can’t even sign in. This app is as good as my boss Melanie Still doesn’t work. This time my boss tried. ### 1/5 — Good but... *2018-07-08, version 3.7.0* Love the repeating availability; however, there is no way to turn it off for long periods of time. If you enter availability without implementing an end date, or if you enter a distant end date, you will have to manually change each day, potentially forever, should your availability change. ### 1/5 — New update *2015-11-02, version 2.0.9* I hate the new update! It changed the time to a 12 hour clock. I am a shift worker, I prefer the 24 hour clock. I have looked on the app to change it back and I don't see any options for 24 hour time. Please make the 12 hour clock optional. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superb *2024-09-22, version 3.22.1* Easy to use, does what it says on the tin. ### 5/5 — It has its ups and downs *2019-06-24, version 3.13.0* Just got it today for work, and by reading the reviews, I’ll be honest I got a little worried. Hopefully it won’t crash on me. I guess this is pretty helpful app in terms of conveniency and having everyone in the group. The only downside I see from this is that I won’t get messages anymore from my coworkers. I usually don’t have much friends and I only receive texts rarely. I really do enjoy the small talk my coworkers and I have before they convince me in taking their shifts. Well there’s my rant and hopefully this app won’t take away the social life I have. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-10-19, version 3.4.0* Makes it so much easier to manage my schedule ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2016-05-19, version 2.0.17* Love this app, makes scheduling my shifts super easy. Every place should have this! ### 5/5 — My work schedule now on the go! *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* Such a great app to keep my work schedule organized. I can now learn about new upcoming shifts, trade shifts with my friends, get my next week’s schedule all while at home. Love it! ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* This thing is so easy to use. I don't have to stress about getting my shifts covered or changed and I can quickly grab someone else's shift if I need some extra cash. So simple and so awesome. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* This app is awesome! I can view my schedule from anywhere, trade shifts with co-workers and update my availability all without having to drive into work to see my schedule. So happy my work uses this app! ### 5/5 — AWESOME!! *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* I love the app! It is way easier to get my schedule and pick up shifts. Plus I love being able to trade my shifts without having to call and beg other people! It has made my life way easier then my companies old paper schedules. ### 5/5 — Useful *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* I can trade shifts with my coworkers, very useful. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-01-16, version 1.0.0* It seems ridiculous to have a printed version of my schedule in the year 2014. Now I always have an updated version in my pocket. Much better. I like trading shifts in the app too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
