### 4/5 — A good shift system

*2026-01-27*

I would like to know how to request system-relevant changes? I would like to help improve the application

### 2/5 — Good, just one correction to do

*2026-01-18*

Just one correction. On iPhone, sometimes the last line of the month's (Saturday) doesn't display on the right. I have to change the month and go back for it to show up.

### 4/5 — One simple fix and it’ll be better

*2025-03-05*

Simply put if I have the widget displayed, showing me any “events” would be useful too. It’s a simple fix to make the app 100% better.

### 2/5 — Keeps Freezing on iPad

*2024-11-27*

Works excellent on the phone, I wanted it for my iPad too but it keeps freezing. Like it’ll ask me to select icon mode or other modes and I can’t even press it’s just frozen and nonfunctional

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2024-11-27*

Great app!! Very useful for Health Care Workers. Only things I would like to see added is 

1. Ability to assign OT pay to a specific shift and not based on if you worked past your “standard hours in the week”. As healthcare workers, our schedules are based on a 6 week timeline so we do not have a standard amount of hrs/week. So, if we pick up an OT shift last minute, it would be nice to be able to add that to our calendar and assign an OT $ pay rate to that specific shift. Therefore, a feature that allows us to add a $ rate to a shift and then it automatically adds this to our total pay for the week/month in the earning tab would be AMAZING!! :))

Would love to see this so I feel confident about recommending this app to all my new health care worker colleagues!!

### 4/5 — Work great but

*2024-09-01*

This app is great for keeping track of shifts I love the rotation feature so I don’t have to manually count my days on and off to add to the calendar. My only issue is the earnings. My hospital gives wage premiums for night shifts PLUS premiums for weekend shifts so night, weekends you make double premiums. I found adding more than one condition to the app messes with the earnings. Sometimes it won’t even add the condition at all. So I have three conditions right now. My day shift weekend premium. My night shift weekday premium and my night shift weekend premium and the app will not put my day shift weekend premium on the earnings tab at all. I’ve tried multiple ways to fix it and make it work but it won’t so I won’t be using the app to track my earnings which is completely fine cause I really only wanted it for the schedule but if you want to track your earnings keep in mind if you have several conditions like me with premiums the app can not tolerate it.

### 3/5 — Good app, but

*2024-06-16, version 2.1.3*

I wish there were more features available for the  free version!

### 3/5 — Amanda G

*2024-04-03, version 2.1.2*

Good app, easy to use. But for shift workers it should have a 24hrs option
For example 0600 hrs, 1500hrs,  2300hrs etc.

### 5/5 — Standard work week

*2024-02-21, version 1.10.2*

Wish I could set it for two standard work weeks instead of just weekly.

### 5/5 — Love the app for everyone

*2024-02-17, version 1.10.2*

Great app love it. It takes a little bit of time to set it up to your needs but once you figure it all out, it works out great and I figured out if you make one of your shifts zero hours zero everything you could make that a payday and you can market it as a payday and it won’t be counted into hours which is a fun tip. Great app easy to keep your hours. If there’s any discrepancies, you can always print it out into a PDF forehanded your boss would recommend to make it biweekly and it only shows your weeks work not every two weeks just takes a little time to learn could be even better if they update it a little bit

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2024-02-02, version 1.10.2*

My favourite calendar ever

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-03-26*

Paid for the yearly access to be able to sync this to my phone calendar - it sometimes doesn’t update. I can’t see Saturdays on the righthand side & have to refresh the app/swipe through months to have it appear again. Additionally, it stopped syncing between my phone & iPad, which is super frustrating! Reset, uninstalled, refreshed - NOTHING WORKS :(

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync with my ipad

*2026-03-26*

I like the app although I always seem to have to just add my information to both my iPad  and iPhone . I have done everything in the faq to try to solve this, but still doesn’t sync. I bought the pro version or I would most likely find a better app. Maybe it’s just me who knows. Other than that I like it.

### 1/5 — RN

*2025-11-14*

Unable to apply rotation as app suggests. Contacted for assistance with zero reply :(

### 1/5 — Please fix!!!

*2024-12-29*

Bought it for one year and as soon as I do that it kicks me out of the app and won’t let me back in keeps shutting down great set up and would love to get back into the app please fix this

### 1/5 — Color change option

*2024-12-05*

Overall the app is good, but I used to be able to make a custom color for each different event by selecting the color wheel option but that is no longer working and I can only use the preset color options. It’s very frustrating because I like to have more options than the preset ones for all of my events and can no longer change them as the color wheel just doesn’t come up when clicked on anymore.. please fix this.

**Developer response:** Hi, this has been fixed in the last version. Please let us know if the issue persists: support@shiftcalendar.ca

### 1/5 — App doesn’t open anymore

*2024-11-29*

I did the most recent update and now my app won’t open. I’m quite upset, as I use this app for everything and now I lost everything. Please fix it ASAP

### 1/5 — Hate the new update

*2024-04-02, version 2.1.2*

I like being able to highlight a date and see the info on the bottom without it covering up half the calendar and not highlighting the day you clicked on.

### 1/5 — new update

*2024-03-27*

I haven been using this app for 2 years and the new updates Font size I didn’t like as it hard to see what next duty ill be on. And i cant even change the font sizing so hassles to use

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear that. We have added an option to increase the icon size. You can reach it through: Settings->Display Options->Calendar Icon Size
We’ve added a lot of new functionality and have been working for a long time for the new update. Hopefully this setting works for you. Thank you

### 1/5 — Okay

*2024-03-22, version 2.0.2*

I like the app but after last up date. I hate it. Where I live we don’t do daylight savings time. It stays the same all year round. The times are an hour early. Not sure how everything got out an hour early when I didn’t manual change them.

### 1/5 — Not a fan

*2023-05-01, version 1.9.6*

I don’t usually write bad reviews but I’m not a fan of this app. I think the concept is wonderful and it’s easy to use however I can’t submit a roster as every time I try to change the dates it just freezes. I thought paying the $5 would help but turns out it was actually $25 dollars. If anyone can tell me how to stop the all from freezing so I can utilise the app, that would be great. I’ve spent $25 for no reason at this stage.

### 5/5 — good app but need one adjustment

*2026-03-02*

I love it but the only thing I wish would get fixed is widget accentable so that when I change the tint screen I can see the shifts ! Other than that it’s the perfect app

### 5/5 — Great scheduling app

*2026-01-03*

I’ve used this app for a year now I have multiple jobs and it keeps me organized and helps me check my paystub’s for correctness.

### 5/5 — Game-changer for my schedule

*2025-04-12*

I’ve been using Shift Calendar for a while now, and it’s made a huge difference. I used to manually enter every single shift, but the rotation feature now saves me so much time. It’s super helpful being able to track my hours and earnings, and I really like the custom icons—it makes everything easy to read at a glance. If you work rotating or irregular shifts like I do, this app is a total game-changer.

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2025-01-04*

Paid the lifetime fee almost immediately because it’s the best app for shift work I’ve found. I never pay for or review apps either but I had to for this one. It’s so easy to use and make custom rotations, syncs to calendars well, lots of options to make it fit your needs. 

To the app developers: please please create an option for the largest widget that would show 3/4 weeks at a time from the home screen!! The earnings are also always a bit off for me - due to pay often working differently for shift workers, if there was a way to make separate pay ‘codes’ and attach them to shift types or even specific days as an alternative to ‘additional pays’ that would be incredible. This is my fav app ever but these updates would make it a lifesaver!!

### 5/5 — Lancaster

*2024-12-25, version 2.1.6*

Very nice & easy visual app for multiple people shifts on one page

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-09-14*

Bought it within minutes because it works perfectly for my work type.

### 5/5 — Worth the money! £6 full access forever

*2024-08-03, version 2.1.3*

I’ve spent a long time looking for a calendar that is easy to input and easy to view, 

you can create a shift and then easily apply it to various days with no hassle! 

Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great, but where’s my stuff?

*2024-07-01, version 2.1.3*

This is a great app, but for the second time in a matter of months when I opened the app this morning and all my data is gone. I see there is an erase all data button so maybe I unintentionally pocket pressed it? But twice? There needs to be a “restore data” button. I’m at a loss as to what to do because it just takes too much time to put all my details back into the calendar.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-04-22, version 2.1.3*

10/10 - easy to use! syncs with you calendar too!

### 5/5 — AMAZING APP

*2024-04-03, version 2.1.2*

I love this app. I’m a nurse, and my schedule is always changing, with this app I can make different icons to know which shifts I’m working (days, evenings or night shifts). Also, I love how it syncs with my IOS calendar, and that now, I can see my other appts or things that I have to do (it’s right beside the work icons you make!!!) The only ONE thing this app is missing,
is being able to share your calendar with your friends who also have the app, so you can see what days you guys all have off together. I recommended this app to all my nursing friends, and they all love it!! Thank you for creating this app 😭❤️❤️❤️
