### 4/5 — Plus aucune mise à jour depuis 2 ans

*2026-02-17*

Application correcte mais avec beaucoup de bugs. J’avais déjà payé cette version en pro puis bizarrement je me suis rendue que c’est la version gratuite car il y a une nouvelle version pro. Plus aucune synchronisation possible pourtant vous demander une autorisation complète à mon agenda.
J’espère que tout reviendra dans l’ordre.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2026-02-09, version 6.3*

So overall I love this app, been using it for years, sharing the data between my iPhone and iPad. I have started having technical issues though between my new iPhone and old iPad which have resulted in a few inaccuracies. I’ve contacted the designers a few times but not heard back which is a shame. I still recommend it but primarily on one device.

### 2/5 — Used to work not now

*2025-06-12, version 6.3*

This app used to work correctly but for a while now this app has problems that make it impossible to use. I would NOT Recommend this app!!

### 5/5 — Immer noch einer der besten

*2024-09-01*

Also einmal eingerichtet, ist es super einfach zu bedienen, und was ich persönlich am besten finde, die Synchronisation mit dem System Kalender. Das Einrichten ist etwas tricky, aber wenn man das Prinzip einmal verstanden hat, ist es super einfach.
Gut ist auch, dass die App nicht übermäßig überfrachtet ist mit irgendwelchen Funktionen, die kein Mensch braucht. Hier hat sich der Entwickler wirklich Gedanken gemacht. Das die App seit Jahren ihren Dienst tut und wirklich keine großen Updates braucht, spricht für sich. 
Tolle Arbeit.

### 4/5 — Fait le job

*2024-05-14*

Applis super en base gratuite qui fait ce qu’on lui demande ! 
Applis tout aussi rentable en version payante ! Quelques petits soucis dans l’intégration de l’agenda iOS, des fois les changements ne se mette pas ou les horaires disparaissent de l’agenda iOS (sans qu’elle ai bouger de l’agenda sur lapp heureusement) Manque juste une appli pour les Mac pour que cela soit parfait !

### 5/5 — Spitzenplan

*2024-05-14*

Ich benutze den Kalender seit Jahren. Er ist übersichtlich und leicht zu bedienen.

### 3/5 — Shifts deleted

*2024-04-10, version 6.3*

It’s ok but twice I must have tapped something without realising and all my recordings disappeared which was annoying

### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich

*2024-03-07*

Ich nutze die Dienstplan-App schon einige Jahre. Sie hat mir immer gute Dienste geleistet. Dadurch, dass der Kalender mit einbezogen wird, habe ich eine gute Übersicht über meine Termine. Hilfreich ist für mich auch das Berechnen der Stunden/Monat. So habe ich bei meiner Dienstplangestaltung immer einen guten Überblick. Nach meiner Meinung kann jeder die App nach seinen Wünschen nutzen. Ich kann sie guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen.

### 4/5 — Review

*2024-01-08, version 6.2*

I love it but twice it has died on me loosing all my diary planning which is frustrating to say the least. Each time I have put the info in again as I find it easy to use. I have my fingers crossed it won’t happen again.

### 4/5 — Ma préférée

*2024-01-03*

J’en ai testé plusieurs, certaine avec un interface plus jolie que celle ci. Mais finalement l’important c’est l’efficacité et cette application est la plus efficace
