Comes with ads but not bad. ### 3/5 — 123 *2026-08-25, version 2026.3.0* To many advertisements. I have been using the app for many years but for the past year I’ve been bombarded with advertisements ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-24, version 2026.3.0* Good clear calendar, easy to use, ads a little intrusive. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2026-08-23, version 2026.3.0* Easy to use ### 5/5 — 10 years on the job and still prefer this *2026-08-21, version 2026.3.0* Love the app. Worth the money in my mind. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-08-21, version 2026.3.0* Very well organized app! ### 5/5 — Best shifts app *2026-08-21, version 2026.3.0* Best shift app I’ve used! Very happy. ### 4/5 — Great calendar *2026-08-20, version 2026.3.0* This calendar is great for weekly schedules up to 9 people well display. The only issue is the commercials that pop up often. ### 5/5 — Amazing Calendar! *2026-08-20, version 2026.3.0* Love this app. It allows you to put icons and write elaborate detail. Being a shift worker and working 2 jobs and having 5 children. I can’t keep up!! This app captures everything I want it to. Genius!!! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Mavster *2026-08-20, version 2026.3.0* Awesome app!

I’d give it five stars if I could have the option to change the background colours so I could see at a glance when I have custody of my kids without having to read a note. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-20, version 2026.3.0* Great app. Useful. Easy to use ### 5/5 — Health care aide *2026-08-20, version 2026.3.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Shift work calendar *2026-08-19, version 2026.3.0* Really good. I use it every day ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-19, version 2026.3.0* Easy to use as a pensioner and not clever on computer. I will definitely recommend it to my friends. ### 5/5 — ShiftWorkCal *2026-08-19, version 2026.3.0* Excellent! So easy to read and prepare for activities in advance. ### 5/5 — best shift work calendar *2026-08-19, version 2026.3.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Handy *2026-08-18, version 2026.3.0* Great app to stay on track ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-04, version 2026.1,1* If I am in the app for more than 30s. Ad pops up ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do a shift work schedule *2026-05-20, version 2025.3.0* Charged me for a 1 year service and then never did a shift work planner for me. But they won’t refund me my miney ### 1/5 — PRICE RAISE!! *2026-03-25, version 2025.3.0* This is a a great shift worker app and I love using it. But I just got notice that my subscription price is going from $8.99 to $17.49 on April 20th! That’s a ridiculous increase and I will not be keeping the app at the price. ### 1/5 — Ads are so obnoxious *2026-03-02, version 2025.3.0* This app used to be really functional but now you can’t even open it and look at your schedule without having to endure a 1+ minute video of animated game play. All of the features that make it great are behind a paywall now. ### 1/5 — Adds on Premium Plan *2026-02-28, version 2025.3.0* Why am I getting add when I’m paying for the premium plan? ### 1/5 — Username *2026-02-10, version 2025.3.0* Gone downhill since the ads appeared. ### 1/5 — Deceiving ad X *2026-01-09, version 2025.2.3* The app tricks you to click the (X) symbol to close the ad. What happens is you will be taken to the website or the app of that ad instead! Making this app getting revenue from this trick and causing inconvenience to users. Mate, your app was great but this ad business is not good and your subscription plan also not great. A one off payment is best. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-12, version 2025.2.3* I understand for a free version that ads come with the territory. However, it has gotten out of hand to the point where you’ll be stuck on an add for 2 min and have to close the app and reopen it to see anything. This app used to be decent but not anymore ### 1/5 — Massive Price Hike *2025-10-04, version 2025.2.3* Avoid ### 1/5 — Fitter (shift work) *2025-10-02, version 2025.2.3* Easy to use for home / work /travel - recommended - ads are irritating and unlikely to be positive its the big negative ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-31, version 2026.3.0* Live my life by it ### 5/5 — very easy to use and straight forward! *2026-08-30, version 2026.3.0* could live without the ads but they don’t come up that often 🙂 ### 5/5 — Makes my schedule easier, I am satisfied with the colour that I choose. 😊 *2026-08-28, version 2026.3.0* I refer it to friends and colleagues too, it was referred to me and I do the same. I referred to 3 co workers. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-28, version 2026.3.0* I like how I can put colors in each day. It is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Very useful with note sections *2026-08-26, version 2026.3.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Works very well *2026-08-25, version 2026.3.0* Been using for years, it’s a superb Calendar ### 5/5 — Dependable *2026-08-25, version 2026.3.0* All is great but I highly recommend paying to avoid ads that are virtually disabling. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-24, version 2026.3.0* This shift work calendar it’s very helpful for everyday use,no only for work. I’m addicted to this app. Helps me to navigate every day life. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-22, version 2026.3.0* I love this calendar. It’s easy to use. Love the new colors. Some advertising. Sometimes it pops up at the wrong time. But it doesn’t last long. Was introduced to some new games, so a plus. You can add emojis as well. I’ve been using this app for years. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-22, version 2026.3.0* Very useful calendar --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
