### 2/5 — Schade

*2024-11-08*

Ich nutze die App wirklich schon seit Jahren, fast seitdem es sie gibt. Jetzt ist es seit einiger Zeit so, dass meine Kalender Termine nicht mehr in der App angezeigt werden. Gut, damit konnte ich noch leben, da mein Dienstplan in meinen Kalender importiert worden ist. 
Jetzt ist es wahrscheinlich seit dem letzten Update so, dass auch das nicht mehr funktioniert. So ist die App nicht mehr für mich nutzbar. Alle Tipps unter Hilfe habe ich durchgeführt, eine Mail an den Support blieb bisher unbeantwortet. 
Der zweite Stern ist lediglich, weil die App jahrelang einwandfrei funktionierte. Jetzt halt gar nicht mehr.

### 5/5 — Sehr gut planen

*2024-11-02, version 5.1*

Die App benutze ich seit vielen Jahren und bin sehr zufrieden. Individuelle Dienstzeiten sind leicht zu erstellen und können mit dem IOS Kalender verknüpft werden.

### 4/5 — Tolles Programm

*2024-02-08, version 5.0*

Ich nutze das Programm schon sehr lange und ich bin sehr zufrieden damit. Jetzt hab ich mir ein iPad gekauft und leider lässt sich die APP nicht auf Querformat drehen.

### 4/5 — Вылетает

*2023-10-12*

Проверьте приложение, обновите. Приложение вылетает, все введеные графики после закрытия обнуляются, все метки пропадают , через облако тоже перестало обновлять метки на других устройствах.

### 3/5 — Roster-calende-pro

*2023-09-18, version 5.0*

Buongiorno riscontro bug iPhone se 2020 modalità shift .

### 5/5 — Alles perfekt im Überblick

*2023-05-29*

Ich verwende diese App bereits über viele Jahre auf iPhone und iPad. Es gibt aus meiner Sicht nichts besseres. Man kann die Dienstpläne sofort einsehen, hat sämtliche Informationen (wenn zuvor eingetragen) schnell und übersichtlich zur Verfügung. Die Synchronisation zwischen den jeweiligen Apple Geräten funktioniert problemlos. Also mehr braucht man nicht und ich werde diese App solange benutzen, bis ich es in Rente bin. Jederzeit kann ich diese App uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Le TOP

*2023-04-06*

Hyper pratique pour enregistrer son planning avec des horaires variables. Je n’utilise pas toutes les possibilités, mais j’ai beaucoup beaucoup cherché, et je n’ai pas trouvé mieux!

### 1/5 — Ultimo aggiornamento OFF

*2023-03-13, version 5.0*

Dall’ultimo aggiornamento su iPhone non memorizza più i turni, cioè quando si inserisce il turno alla riapertura non viene presentato

### 5/5 — Eine super App

*2023-03-08, version 5.0*

Ich benutze sie schon seit einigen Jahren…einfach in der Handhabung…sehr übersichtlich!!!

### 5/5 — Nach update funktioniert wieder alles

*2023-02-25, version 5.0*
