For months. So my entire schedule, including overtime and days off, is incorrect by one day. No idea how this happened and it’s very stressful and inconvenient because I’m on a trip and unable to access my correct work calendar. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2018-02-24* I really like it, great potential. The only thing is that I wish I could see my upcoming shifts from my watch face on my Apple Watch. I also wish I could add overtime to some shifts so I can get a more accurate reading on how much I would make ### 2/5 — So far so good! *2017-11-18* This app is great for a shift rotation that repeats... I've been able to see when I work right through the next few years now! Only one downside was that I couldn't clear all shifts (when I messed up), so that feature would be ideal. You can only clear one shift at a time, which is cumbersome if you've entered a significant amount of time. That is why the app only gets 4/5 stars. Otherwise? Perfection.... time to update to iOS 11 though. Can’t use it now! ### 3/5 — Cannot open on iOS 11 *2017-11-18, version 1.0.1* I cannot open on iOS 11, always forces close.... please update this app.. ### 2/5 — Outdated *2017-10-26* Love the app, however it crashes every few months. Because it does not save to the cloud you have to re enter your entire schedule. Seems like this has been a problem for years and something still has not been done about it. I wouldn’t waste your money on it. ### 2/5 — Beware- Abandoned app *2017-10-12* This is great app but the developer abandoned it. See update history. Do not expect updates for this app. ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-03-04* I really enjoy the app so far. It's very easy to use, and is great for quickly looking over. It would be great if you could cross the information over to the native iPhone calendar app though. ### 4/5 — Clean and effective *2016-10-06* I like that this app syncs with the original Calendar app so that events show up on the shift work calendar. It's easy to use and looks simple so that the calendar isn't cluttered. This was crashing for me but I deleted and reinstalled it and it was fine after that. ### 2/5 — Does not save to cloud. *2016-05-30* Does not save your data to the cloud. Have had to reload all my shifts every time I get a new device/reinstall. ### 4/5 — Crashes and too many bugs *2016-04-23* I previously reviewed this app and complained about some of the bugs. I'm pleased to see that since the new update these have been fixed. The app is very good and aside from having a bit of a learning curve when you first start with getting to grips with how to add different shifts I can't fault it. The only feature I would like to see is small text on the actual calendar view underneath the icon saying the actual times. My shifts vary greatly and this would be a really nice addition to an already good app ### 2/5 — Great but many errors *2016-03-19, version 1.0.1* This app is exactly what I need in a calendar, work scheduling app, except for one major flaw. It doesn't always accurately display my schedule. One day I'll look at it and it will have my exact schedule, just as I entered it (3 days) the next week I look at it and there are 4 shifts logged in. And I'm not sure which ones are the correct ones. If this but could be fixed I would give this app 5/5 stars. I'm just frustrated not being able to trust it and had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2015-10-28* Can't sync to calendars. ### 1/5 — Totally Useless *2015-09-30* Zero user adaptability. Zero integration. Can't name your shifts. Won't display on the main calendar. Deserves Zero rating. ### 4/5 — Good - I suggest an addition... *2015-09-21* Great app. I like being able to connect with my iOS calendar and get notifications - BUT - could you add the facility to change the start day of the week? For example the week goes Sun-Sat. Can you give the option to change the start day of the week like you can in the iOS calendar? That would be amazing! As my shifts go Sat-Fri and not Sun-Fri ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacks some features for the money *2020-10-22* DO NOT BUY. App crashes, no longer supported, but still a paid app!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Company no longer cares about this product *2018-07-18* The company is no longer doing anything with this app. Do not get it as the minute you have an issue (and you probably will) then there will be no assistance for you. They have moved on from this app to their other apps and want nothing to do with this. Just a heads up. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-11-24* Won’t even open with iOS 11. Don’t respond to support emails. Do not get this app. ### 1/5 — Missing calendar integration *2017-10-10, version 1.0.1* This is a huge miss - calendar integration is incredibly easy to implement and is an expected feature. On top of the fact that there is no way to clear the calendar if a rotation changes. ### 1/5 — Useless with IPhone 7 *2016-10-12, version 1.0.1* App keeps crashing on startup rendering the app useless on my iPhone 7. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-05-31* This app was awesome but now it keeps changing the hours I add and adds random inputs after I restart the app. It needs to be fixed! ### 1/5 — had to uninstall *2016-04-05* can only overlay one system calendar on top of your shifts, i have several does not display enough info from the calendar that's overlayed. for example, i have a dentist appointment on apr 22 from 10am to 12pm. i have no shifts on that day. there is no indicator that there is an event for that day. when you click on the indicator-less day you will see the note but no times! there is no way to export your shifts into the main system calendar OR to create a new calendar that the system can use. ios calendar app supports multiple calendars. ### 1/5 — Up and died on me. *2016-02-13* Was a great app up until it just stopped working. Black screen and crashes back to home when trying to open it. Hasn't been updated in a long time, I suspect development and support has stopped. Also only runs Sunday to Saturday week view, annoying for people who prefer a Monday to Sunday. Save your money, don't download until it's updated! I work a complicated 32 week rota with varying shift lengths and start times that I now have to go and program into a different app. A real shame as it's been great until now. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-02-01* I can't even open the app anymore, just crashes. Used to love this app.. Would love to continue to use it. Emailed support but haven't heard back.. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-01-16* Has the potential to be a great app. Reviews said could put two schedules in and you can, but you can only add one rotation. No easy way to delete previous rotation if you've made a mistake. Crashes every few minutes. Don't waste your money. Far too unstable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — UPDATE *2019-08-31* This is the most beautiful layout and so easy to use but I have an iPhone X now pleas update ### 5/5 — Best app for shift work *2019-05-15* I love this design the best! Easy to use and looks clean. ### 5/5 — Great app. Works well for Police, Nurses and Firefighters *2019-04-01, version 1.0.1* Great app. Works well for Police, Nurses and Firefighters. The shift rotations and plug and play is excellent. I would like to make it so more than 2 “shifts” can be listed on one day. And maybe more and different “icons”. (As you can probably already tell, I work a lot). ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2017-11-04, version 1.0.1* The most important thing I need from a shift schedule app is a clean and easy "at a glance" feature. This app definitely delivers. All I have to do is swipe left for the widget and I can see all of my upcoming shifts for the next 7 days. The widget is super clean looking, too! I work 2 jobs at different times of the day, and this app lets you choose icons for different shifts. So I can really easily see which job and whether it's a morning or night shift. I love that I tried a bunch of shift apps but this none of them had a clean looking widget AND displayed more than just what's scheduled for that day. ### 5/5 — Best shifts app for iOS. *2015-08-09* I've been using this app for 4 weeks now and it's perfect. The calendar's Sunday start doesn't bother me as I use the widget's list format to preview my upcoming shifts, but Monday starts do seem like a big oversight for their EU users. Now the way it works is you create a bank of different customised shift types e.g. day 11-5pm or night 8-12am and then 'stamp' these on the calendar. It's extremely fast. A video by the devs would help other misguided reviewers struggling with the input mechanic. An added bonus is the earnings calculation! Even if shifts in actuality happen to deviate by an hour or two, it's still useful for checking your payslip is roughly correct without doing the maths. Well worth the £3.99. I'm gifting it to other people concerned with the price as I think it's an amazing app. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2015-04-09* This is exactly what I was looking for. No complaints. Integration with notification window is great too! ### 5/5 — Handy *2015-04-01* Very easy to use and handy for shift workers. Able to put different shifts patterns easily. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Nearly perfect *2015-01-27, version 1.0* As a nurse, I work shifts that span from one day to the next and all the other calendar apps I have tried make viewing and deciphering my schedule a nightmare, not to mention how tedious and time consuming actually entering my schedule is. Shifts solves all of that! It is simple and elegant. I can easily see what I'm working and I can literally plug in six weeks worth of my schedule in seconds. The only drawback for me is that Shifts uses pictures to represent shifts which works great for my day, evening, and night shifts. But my work also has 3 other standard shifts and random others that aren't easily assigned pics. If I could customize a combo of letters and numbers to represent those other shifts, this app would be perfect for me. For example, 11am-7pm is 11A8, an 8 hour shift that begins at 11am. Overall, though, this app is awesome! ### 5/5 — Calculate Earnings *2015-01-26* Literally nothing wrong with the app whatsoever! I just wish the "Calculate Earnings" menu would encompass some sort of wage deduction for certain periods of time during a shift (as I'm not paid for 30 mins each shift as I'm on lunch), not a major problem, but it would save me time doing maths XD ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-01-24* Finally a nice looking shifts app. Good job! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
