This app keeps me straight on when I'm working where. I love how my other calendars integrate so I can look at just one for all my events, both personal and work related. My only complaint is being expected to buy the app again every year. ### 3/5 — Screen locked unless turned sideways *2026-07-23, version 26.5* I've had this app for over 10 years. iPhone 16 Pro. iOS 26.5.2. When I open any calendar events the screen is locked. Nothing works. If I turn it sideways then it’s fine. Turn my phone back to straight up and down, locked again. ### 4/5 — Pretty decent *2026-07-19, version 26.5* I generally like shift life, however I woke up one morning and absolutely everything had been deleted. All my shifts, all my birthdays, anniversaries, everything!!! I could not get it back. ShiftLife tried to help but it never came back. If it happens again I won’t be using it but that is once in 7 years so not so bad. ### 5/5 — Sorts my life!! *2026-06-06, version 18.6.5* Used this app for years!! It’s so easy and clear. I can totally customise it and even import all my another calendars to it. It’s amazing and it literally runs my life and shifts ### 5/5 — The Greatest Calendar / Organizer ….. EVER!! *2026-06-04, version 18.6.5* I’ve been using ShiftLife for 8 or 9 years. I liked it so much that when I changed to an Android phone & couldn’t get it ( 6 yrs ago) I kept my old iPhone just to run this app. Eventually I went back to IPhone to be able to have this app on me. I just love the format & everything about it. Sincerely, Robert ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-24, version 18.6.5* I have used this app for about 12 years now but suddenly in the last few months, I have issues. I was able to input my morning shifts for next month with no problem. However when I tried to input my afternoon shifts they didn’t show up. I rely on this calendar and am really disappointed as whatever I do I cannot rectify this issue 😖 It’s so frustrating as I pay for this app and I shouldn’t have this problem every month. I even upgraded for £6.99 hoping this would help but no. Please please please ShiftLife sort this out. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-05-14, version 18.6.5* I used to use nurse grid for my scheduling. But wanted an app that can plot multiple shifts and also add my husband’s schedule so we can both see it on one glance. I just wish we can share accesses so we can both add our own schedules and access the same calendar together ### 5/5 — Organized *2026-05-06, version 18.6.5* Keeps me organized. Easy to set up for payroll and shifts for work, AirBnB guests and appointments. Can't live without it. Still the same review. Use it every day and more. Can't live without it now August 15. /24. Still using everyday. My dental, chiro, pacemaker, even used for AirBNB CLIENTS, including calculated my revenue. Easy to edit, JUST LOVE IT. TY. May/26. Can’t live without it Judy ### 4/5 — Public holiday *2026-05-01, version 18.6.5* Please allow the public holidays to delete or hide, as the public holidays not in my state unable to hide is so annoying. Thanks🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Great app! *2026-04-01, version 18.6.5* Great for all of my shifts and easily organizes everything. Easy to use but I’m finding it getting more and more expensive. ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-24, version 18.6.5* I have used this app for about 10 years now but suddenly I have issues. I inputted my morning shifts for next month with no problem. However when I inputted my afternoon shifts they haven’t shown up. I rely on this calendar and am really disappointed as whatever I do I cannot rectify this issue 😖 ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2026-01-26, version 18.6.4* I have used this app for about 10 years now but suddenly I have issues. I inputted my morning shifts for next month with no problem. However when I inputted my afternoon shifts they haven’t shown up. I rely on this calendar and am really disappointed as whatever I do I cannot rectify this issue 😖 ### 5/5 — ShiftLife for me allows me to create shifts over several yearsas a shift worker *2025-12-25, version 18.6.3* I have used ShiftLife for several years now. I’m a shift worker and beside being able to create new shifts as my work life has changed over the years, I can add other appointments and events and go back and search events. I have not tried other apps other that Calendar on my iPhone but those events are integrated into ShiftLife. For a small yearly fee it allows me keep working with what I know. I like the search function, I can go backwards to find when I last went to see different doctors and other appointments. ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2025-11-16, version 18.6.3* Love it as I work a variety of shifts (about 22 different times). Had to pay to get the unlimited ability to do this but worth it. Thought it would sync with another calender app but did not. That said easy to let people know what I am working. Easy to program too. ### 5/5 — shift worker & now retired *2025-10-16, version 18.6.2* Have been using it for 10+ years now and love it and the improvements as they upgrade it. Have had other similar apps but don't use them as this does it all. Am now retired and with all the activities still find this the best. My husband is a Rotarian and uses this as well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-08-08, version 26.5* My app is constantly hacked and unable to delete the appointments they flood my calendar with. I’ve deleted the app and started a fresh, nothing works, they soon come back and flood the calendar again. Avoid if you don’t want to be hacked ### 1/5 — Pretty good *2026-07-06, version 18.6.5* I find the app glitchy at times ie. will delete my history/shifts, however I emailed them on my concern and they got back to be fairly quickly. I don’t find it the most user friendly app, but I do like it. ### 1/5 — Mr. *2026-02-28, version 18.6.5* Every time the app updates it eases my templates. Do not use this app if you don’t want to do that. ### 1/5 — Over Priced *2025-11-24, version 18.6.3* I love the App and used it for more than 15 years but the company has out priced itself in the last few years….now $9.99 a year…unfortunately I am switching to another app ### 1/5 — Price up always *2025-10-01, version 18.6.1* I am using shift life long time but every year price getting up . So please don’t enforce us to use other apps which less expensive ### 1/5 — Why *2025-02-05, version 18.2* Why it won’t do my roster. Every third week I have to add two night shifts. ### 1/5 — Problemas *2025-01-31, version 18.2* Cada dos por tres problemas , ahora no se pueden poner el acceso a los demás calendarios .. ### 1/5 — Problemas para ka selección de los calendarios *2024-12-30, version 18.2* No logro des seleccionar todos automáticamente; he de ir marcando uno por uno; antes podía hacerlo. ### 1/5 — Lost 4 years of calendar! *2024-06-19, version 17.3* Very unhappy about this, back to pen and paper I think! ### 1/5 — Ogni anno più cara! *2024-04-04, version 17.3* Dopo aver acquistato la prima versione (che prevedeva solo la rimozione della pubblicità e l’inserimento degli impegni illimitati), l’anno successivo ho scoperto che poteva essere scaricata gratuitamente pagando solo il costo del calendario. Ho poi realizzato che anche io che avevo acquistato la versione completa dovevo acquistare ogni anno il calendario (non era scritto nella prima versione) ho comunque continuato ad acquistarli, ma ora siamo arrivati da 0,99 a 3,49€... mi conviene tornare al cartaceo: poco seri! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-09-01, version 26.5* Great app, easy to use and update. Great for shift work and lots of appts ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2026-08-10, version 26.5* Love my ShiftLife Organizer. I’m a repeat customer - year after year for maybe 18 years. My calendar is all specific to my life - so easy to plug in my shifts for the week. Love it ! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Shift life *2026-08-02, version 26.5* My husband and I love this app! Without it we'd be lost and late! ### 5/5 — Awsome! *2026-08-02, version 26.5* I have been using this app for 15 years now. Totally love it!!! Use it to get an idea of my paychecks and organize my life. Easy to put everything in. Only thing I wish it could do is put reminders. ### 5/5 — Hibbo *2026-07-29, version 26.5* I've been using this app for couple years. Great for a shift worker. Great app very clear and helpful ### 5/5 — My brain organised *2026-07-28, version 26.5* The best calendar app ever ### 5/5 — Easy to follow *2026-07-25, version 26.5* This is a very accurate, reliable and easy schedule. By using the different options for templates, dates and colour coding, the schedule becomes user friendly and schematic. ### 5/5 — Horaire atypique *2026-07-19, version 26.5* Vraiment le meilleur pour ceux qui ont des horaires atypiques!!!!! ### 5/5 — Shift *2026-07-14, version 26.5* It is excellent makes my life so easy been using it for four years now ### 5/5 — Merveilleux *2026-06-08, version 18.6.5* Je suis très visuelle et j'adore!! Je ne peux plus vivre sans cette application! J’ai eut un mini-problème juste une fois et quand je l’ai signalé, j’ai eut une réponse très complète par e-mail, le jour-même ! Je recommande vraiment :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
