Not free anymore

I’ve used this app for years, unfortunately it’s went from free to £30 a year, I’d have bought it, if it was kept at a reasonable price.

2nd review due to fantastic assistance from developer

I recently reviewed this app and rated as a 1 which was based on the fact I had used for years and was a 5 but with the upgrades that were introduced it was looking for more money to have the privilege of being able to see your rota for as far as you needed to see, after the upgrades I was asked for £19.99 as an existing subscriber which I paid but then it said it had to pay further £29.99 otherwise only seen 7 weeks rotation.
I emailed the developer and was getting no reply until the other day (he found my mails amongst his junk mail) and since then he could not have been any more helpful to get to the bottom of the subscription issue and now with this latest update this is all now fixed.
I highly recommend this app for any shift workers or offshore workers👍

Perfect!!

Have used this app since 2019 it has been perfect, there was a slight issue with the upgrade which was sorted out so quickly cant thank the team enough.
As Firefighter i basically run my whole life off this app.
Simple but but very effective .

Couldn’t be without it!

Great app for planning my shifts ahead. Easy to see my schedule at a glance . I tried other similar apps but none were as user friendly as this one

In app purchases

I was one of the first to use the app for about 6 years ago (all free no subscription)
Then I was asked to sign up to pay £19.99 a year month (May) to keep on using app and thought yeah it’s worth it ……….
1 month later informed if I make something like 5 or more changes it will be 2.99 a month also
So deleting app

VERY disapointed

Had all been working fine until your big upgrade. Deleted my shifts after a couple of months, tried to contact the provider (using the details they provided) in the message they sent asking to get in touch if they had problems, NOTHING.
Thought i’d bite the bullet and pay the £19.99 for a years subscription to share my calendar, and then after 2 weeks not be able to do anything because i’m now only allowed 5 manual shift changes EVER, unless i i now also subscribe monthly (£2.99), which then deleted my pattern. Will be moving to a different more simpler shift rota app. Which is a shame as i’ve used this for approx 8yrs.

Upgraded

Hi I upgraded to support and paid £19.99 and now I can’t add shifts manually it is saying that I need to upgrade to premium at £29.99 is that fair ?

Great app update

Good evening, love the update makes it easier to use and move through the months. But when I click an all day event it forces me to have it over 2 days instead of just doing the single day I chose.

Why change it?

This app has served me well for years, allowing me to have my fire service rota live along with other rotas. Updates in the last few weeks have lost my fire service rota, messed up birthdays and appointments. Such a shame.
Best thing you could do is do a recovery back 6 months

Easy to use

Really good App to help manage shift pattern and life! The administrator is really helpful if you need any additional support.

New update 24hr clock sucks

Your new updated changed everything to a 24hr clock and all my events are now at am times instead of pm times and vice versa 😑

Phenomenal support

I’ve had this app for years, I really like that I can create up to 5 different rotations and can switch between them really easily! I use this app to plan vacations and picking up extra shifts on my days off. After a recent update my rotations were not showing up and so I emailed the creator and got phenomenal support!You really can’t find a better app to depend on! 10 outta 10 worth every penny!

Ruined!

Used this app for years and loved it. Recent updates have ruined it.Nearly unusable. Dates shifted with no way to fix in settings. Looks and runs much differently than before. Deleted today . Sad.

Great App Ruined by Recent Update

I’ve been using Rota Calendar for years without any issues and it was one of the best shift calendar apps out there. Ever since the recent update, it has become extremely frustrating to use. When I add dates and adjust the times, the app frequently saves the event with completely different/incorrect times than what I entered. This makes the app unreliable for scheduling work shifts and defeats the entire purpose of using it.

Please fix the time-saving bug as soon as possible. I really want to continue using and recommending this app, but right now it’s become unusable.

Missing arrow

Please bring the arrow on the side of the screen it made it so much easier to decipher between the months other than that all good

Why did you change the look???

I love the app, have been using it for years. Why did you change the look of it? It was perfect and smooth now looks weird and unfinished. Bring back the old look

Update wasted all logged data

Was an amazing app and I’ve used it from the start for lots of reasons but the new update has wiped all my shifts from today onwards. Hope it doesn’t do that again once I log all my shifts onto the app again.

Works great

Used for years and would recommend highly.
Once you get the hang of it it’s brilliant

Great until the update

I have been using this calendar for over 5 years. After the update all my saved dates shifted and lost everything.

Fantastic App

I've used this app to man my life and organise my brain for several years now - best App I've had !
