### 2/5 — Can’t add multiple same shifts

*2026-08-09, version 3.4.1*

I can’t add multiple same shifts on the same days they randomly delete now really annoying but I do enjoy the app. Can you fix?

### 2/5 — Monthly subscription for a calendar

*2026-07-16, version 3.1.0*

It works fine but 80% of us is locked behind a paywall

### 3/5 — Love it

*2026-05-06, version 3.0.9*

Great app but would be so much nicer if it offered Dark Mode

### 2/5 — Grab your wallet.

*2026-05-02, version 3.0.9*

This looked really convenient and I was super excited to use it but you can only add 3 different shift types and after that they make you pay.

### 2/5 — Dark theme?

*2026-04-22, version 3.0.9*

So far I like the app but I wish there was an option for a dark theme, especially when working those graveyard shifts and I’m trying not to blind myself with the very bright light theme when I open the app.

### 3/5 — Timezones and shifts moving

*2026-04-01, version 3.0.7*

I travel frequently with different timezones and notice when I return home it can move all my events a day over or before. It can be annoying to move all the events back and made mistakes with my dates if I dont notice

### 3/5 — The app is great, but...

*2026-04-01, version 3.0.7*

The app should fully support Arabic, meaning the settings should be in Arabic, not English. It should also support night mode, which is crucial, especially at night when the app's brightness can strain the eyes. The app should also allow you to increase or decrease the font size and change the font type (such as bold) to improve clarity. It should also be integrated with the iPhone calendar. I hope it will include a notification feature within the app itself, providing a constant reminder while you're working. Thank you for this app, and I wish you all the best.

### 2/5 — Schedule

*2026-03-16, version 3.0.0*

It will not bring original schedule from apple over

### 1/5 — Wierd glitch?

*2026-01-24, version 2.5.4*

All my shifts are coming in double, some triple, a few are single and ok. Tried everything to remove the “extra shifts” but it won’t let me. It is not the first time it has messed up my shifts, have contacted “support” over this issue before but have not received any solution. To bad, started out loving this app and still would if it worked right.🤷🏻‍♀️

### 2/5 — Seems great. But. Price is crazy

*2026-01-21, version 2.5.1*

Wanted to try this out myself before suggesting this to the owner for our store scheduling but at $50 a year I can’t fully test it out in 1 week as the schedules come out every 15 days and I’m not paying $50 to try it for 16 days to see if it can handle the rolling schedules being posted.

### 3/5 — Erased!

*2026-01-17, version 2.5.1*

I have been using this app for almost 2 years and love it!!  It keeps track of my changing schedule and all my notes.  However, I woke up today to a blank screen like I’ve never used it before.  I’ve lost EVERYTHING!  Not happy that this happened.

### 1/5 — Sold out

*2026-01-16, version 2.5.1*

Used this app for best part of a decade. It was always free and no adverts. Recently changed name and started including adverts and asking for payment for a pro version. I could have lived with that but I can’t live with the fact it won’t let you view more than the next month now. I’ve emailed the author twice but they haven’t bothered to reply. Such a shame because I use this daily and now for the sake of profit and greed someone’s ruined it for legacy users like myself. 
I’m now using a different app that’s free. Thanks a bunch SPOKE whoever you are.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-16, version 2.5.1*

The new update is amazing. Shift planner: SPOKE. Is so easy to use

### 1/5 — New look is bad

*2026-01-14, version 2.5.0*

The new look after update is terrible and hard to read. Please give us the option to change your the old look

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-01-14, version 2.5.0*

Been working for ages, now wont work on my new iphone 16e 🤷🏼‍♀️

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-25, version 3.3.0*

Paid to have a shared calendar with my husband but even when it says updated or synced it never showed any changes we made. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Greedy.

*2026-07-22, version 3.2.0*

Wants a subscription after just two months worth of shifts…

### 1/5 — Pay Wall Blocked

*2026-06-29, version 3.0.9*

This app is a normal calendar with added rotations and titles for days. There are plenty of free apps that do the same thing that don’t require payment in order to look forward in your schedule. Really just milking the money out of a calendar, not worth I’d recommend finding app. And they put pay walls on all the features so you’re limited and what you can do.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-05-29, version 3.0.9*

This app was great and I had used it for 7+ years HOWEVER, since it changed name a couple of years ago it has gradually become extremely slow and frustrating to use. The most recent update has made the load-up when opening the app even slower. 
App has been ditched and moving to Google Calendar.

### 1/5 — Not syncing

*2026-05-19, version 3.0.9*

Not syncing right

### 1/5 — Бесполезный виджет

*2026-04-14, version 3.0.9*

Даже после авторизации в приложении виджет ничего не показывает, требуя войти

### 1/5 — Synchronisieren

*2026-03-24*

Ich habe die App über mein Smartphone gekauft, aber festgestellt, dass ich es auf dem iPad (größer) besser wäre. Leider bekomme ich keine Synchronität hin, obwohl ich bei beiden mit meiner Apple ID angemeldet bin 

Ansich finde ich die App super (hätte ich sonst nicht gekauft), aber hoffe, bei nur einem Stern auf eine Reaktion.

**Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns leid, dass Ihnen Unannehmlichkeiten entstanden sind.
Bitte führen Sie die Wiederherstellung gemäß den folgenden Schritten durch:

1. Aktivieren Sie auf dem Gerät, auf dem sich die zu synchronisierenden Daten befinden, die iCloud-Synchronisierung innerhalb der App und überprüfen Sie unter „Einstellungen → Apple-ID → iCloud → Speicher“, ob **Spoke** vorhanden ist.
2. Wenn Daten vorhanden sind, aktivieren Sie auf dem Gerät, mit dem Sie synchronisieren möchten, ebenfalls die iCloud-Synchronisierung in der App und prüfen Sie unter „Einstellungen → Apple-ID → iCloud → In iCloud speichern“, ob der **Spoke**-Schalter aktiviert ist.
3. Überprüfen Sie anschließend auch auf diesem Gerät unter „Einstellungen → Apple-ID → iCloud → Speicher“, ob **Spoke** vorhanden ist.
4. Wenn die Synchronisierung nach Abschluss aller Einstellungen weiterhin nicht erfolgt, überprüfen Sie es bitte nach 24 Stunden erneut (aufgrund von Apple-Richtlinien kann die Synchronisierung bis zu 24 Stunden dauern).

Vielen Dank.

### 1/5 — Lost all data

*2026-03-18, version 3.0.1*

I will stop using this i thought it’s just me. Already reported this but all my schedule is gone.

### 1/5 — Deleted my entire life

*2026-03-09, version 2.6.1*

Stopped working after using for the last 10 years. Randomly deleted my entire contents. All appointments, all historic and upcoming shifts, all data with no back up, despite “synchronise to our” being on.

### 1/5 — App Update

*2026-02-09, version 2.5.7*

The app has been updated and I have lost my complete shift cycle. I am now having problems getting it reset. Not a very happy person.🤬🤬

### 5/5 — Add holidays

*2026-08-23, version 3.4.1*

It would be very nice to have holidays in the calendar. Please consider

### 5/5 — The best app for shift workers

*2026-04-30, version 3.0.9*

This is the only app I’ve ever paid money for…. It’s that good! I work a 56 day shift rotation and this was the only app that could do that custom rotation. I have had this app for well over 15 years. I have no idea how much it costs now but it is worth every single penny.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-04-17, version 3.0.9*

Simple, straightforward, and not trying to mesh with other apps constantly. Exactly what I needed.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-25, version 2.5.9*

I love the app! So easy to keep up with my ever changing schedule. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Simple & Functional

*2026-02-22, version 2.5.9*

I have been using this app for the last 8 years and it’s always been simple to use and functional.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-13, version 2.5.0*

Good to keep your shifts on your phone to keep yourself up to date by using this app

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-04, version 2.4.8*

I track appointments and my and my husband’s rotating schedules. It’s great

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-02, version 2.4.8*

I’ve been using this app since 2016. It was wonderful to use as a shift worker to see all my shifts easily and change things easily if I needed to. I no longer do shift work but still find it very useful in that I can add in public holidays for the year, any sick leave and annual leave that I have/will take and see them coming at a glance. 
I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Love it but need more features if you could consider them!

*2025-12-29, version 2.4.7*

I love this app! Been using it since I started my current job. I used it for my schedule and having earning reports is really helpful. But I would like to suggest more features if you could consider them 

- should add subscriptions management on the option (want to change plan to lifetime but couldn’t find the change plan option on the app)

- should add when having a break during shift 15-30 minutes (some workplaces require that when clocking out so it should be useful)

- off, sick, payday should be there as an option instead of adding a shift and labeling them individually so we don’t need to add wage to it, or can be set as optional

- If add a payday option should show how much in total when the period starts and end 

- Estimating taxes to earning reports might be helpful or could be for users to apply how much they will be taxed if you could consider it

### 5/5 — Just why?

*2025-12-23, version 2.4.5*

I using Shift for many years, until recently updated to spoke. I love the app so I support it pay once 1.99. Was surprised it's expensive now for 79.
