Doesn’t work as should

Payed the app hoping to be able to share my rota with my wife and vice versa but the function doesn’t work!

Brilliant Shift worker app at a glance…but

Please keep the app exactly as it is, but improve the notes. I’d love either a larger preview on the calendar screen or the ability to have expandable notes with unlimited text.
Maybe multiple note colored triangles in each corner would help too.

Limited capability

Terrible. The notes section drives me absolutely NUTS! Why can’t I see all of my notes! After the update it got even worse! Looking for a new shift worker app. I don’t recommend this app.

Shift Worker is a great app.

I work a rolling 4 week shift pattern with various shift start times and shift lengths. This app lets me easily input these shifts; see them at a glance; and allows me to use the ‘backup’ function to share the calendar with my significant other. So they can see what I’m working and it allows planning of childcare to easily be done.

Please fix the notes section

Been using this app for several years and is a staple for most nurses in the hospital, easy to use, good layout and can customised several different shifts. Over the years I have looked a different apps just out of curiosity but always come back to this.
I also really love the feature of adding notes and use it to remember appointments/plans ect. HOWEVER, there is new problem where if your note is longer than one line it won’t show when you click on the day. This never used to happen so think it must be a bug but can you please fix it???
From tired nurse who needs longer notes to remember life
