I love the app

It’s the perfect app and it keeps track of all the shift but I’ve recently started to have a problem when I open the app it closes after 2 seconds and I can open it 10 times and the 10 times it keeps on closing that’s the only thing that is frustrating to me that I’m in a hurry to check something and it won’t keep open long enough for me to check what I need to check keeps open like 2 seconds and it closes automatically no matter what I press… please help

It most does what I need

I have tried lots of different time tracker apps this one comes closest to what I need it to. I wish it gave a total of hours worked when it calculates how much you should get paid. It would also be nice when I email my employer my hours at the end of the pay period, it would give them the total hours worked in the pay period.

Thank you for your feedback, we will pass this on to our developers :)

Potentially great app but has issues.

I work 12 hour rotating shifts on a 28 day cycle so trying to add my schedule to my apple calendar can be time consuming. Shifty is by far the best app I have found to help this process thanks to working with the iOS calendar however it has significant issues forcing me to rely on a reliable app that unfortunately doesn’t work work with the iOS calendar.

The tap to assign a shift is great however on the iPhone the calendar doesn’t display properly. For me Saturday is missing so I can’t assign shifts that fall on that day which is naturally an issue. Moving a month forward then back or using the app on an iPad helps. On iPhone even doing this creates another issue because you can’t assign later dates because they are covered by the shift select and scrolling isn’t allowed.

The sync option between my iPhone and iPad create two separate calendars resulting in double entries on my calendar. This isn’t a major issue but it is annoying to see two scheduled events at the same time when really there is only one. This is especially annoying for days that are relatively busy.

All of that being said the calendar display on the iPhone and the double entry due to sync on multiple devices needs to be corrected. Once that is done I would be more than happy to give a much higher review. I would also suggest a schedule cycle option for people that work consistent shift work. Allow an input of a cycle with a start/end date to mitigate the need to tap each shift manually.

Thank you for your feedback, we will look into these issues for you and update it to work as it should. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Don’t download

I downloaded this app and it was okay. I had to manually put in all my shifts (I’m on a rotating nurses schedule), which was a pain. After I did it it worked for awhile until March when it suddenly started the calendar in April instead of March and there is no way possible to fix it. I paid for the full version of this app. Don’t bother wasting your money because I emailed the company, they are aware of this issue and it still isn’t fixed.

Sorry to hear you’re unhappy with our app. Yes, we are aware of this bug and it is proving difficult to fix at this stage since we haven’t been able to replicate it on our test devices. It’s only affecting a small amount of users using an iPhone plus and running iOS 12.1.4. We are now working with Apple to fix this issue, but rest assured we will get to the bottom of it and send out a fix ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Like the app but...

I’ve been using the app since November. It was listed as a ‘free’ app. Today I went to put in my new schedule and the only way I can continue to use it is if I ‘upgrade’. There was no mention of that when I selected this app to use. I have a different app for my daughters schedule and we’ve been using it for years and never once had to ‘upgrade to continue to use. I realize that $1.99 isn’t much but that doesn’t really made an app free.

Hi Dorothy, sorry to hear you’re unhappy to upgrade. It sounds like you’ve reached the monthly shift limit, unfortunately not much can be done as a free user other than to upgrade. We give our users as much for free as possible but please respect our decision to earn revenue this way. If you have any more issues or questions, please contact us through in-app support. Thanks!

I really like this app and it has a lot of potential

First of all, I love the fact that I am able to put all my shifts in here, where it also keeps track of my pay. It makes it very convenient with how it syncs up to the calendar as well. The simplicity of the layout is very pleasant and makes things easy to use.

There are some key features I would love to see in the future that I believe would improve this app greatly and spread its popularity.
Some ideas are :
- There should be a way to pick your paydays. For example, I get paid on the 25th for the days 1-15 and I get paid on the 10th for the days 16 - the end of the month. Currently the way the “paycheck” feature is set up doesn’t allow me to check this accurately.
- With the “saved shifts” feature, there should be a way to also save the break within that shift
- It would be nice to see more choices in colors for each saved shift.
- Also, a time and a half or double time pay feature would be nice

Like I said, this app is great and very user friendly. It has a lot of potential and I really hope developers take these ideas into consideration.

We’re glad to hear you love using Shifty. If you have any suggestions on how to make it better we would love to hear them.

Great tool!

This app is a great tool for me and I use it all the time. There’s only one issue.

My pay periods are two weeks, starting on tuesday, ending 2 weeks later on monday.

The issue is that I get paid on friday, but it’s not for the current pay period, it’s for the last payperiod. I haven’t seen a way to work around this in the app and was wondering if developers could fix this issue. They’ve been pretty great about getting back to every review sent in, and I hope they’ll do the same for this one.

Thank you for your feedback! This is certainly something that is currently in the planning stages for a near future update. Stay tuned!

Pretty Good!

I really love being able to save shifts and just add those to days I know I’ll work those hours. Also, I really like seeing my paycheck. I already know what I’ll be making most pay periods, but it is a nice convenience.

I would like to see better integration with Apples Calendar app. It would’ve been a huge time saver if I could have imported all of my “work” categories as shifts and just gave a value for my pay.

Regardless, I do like how simple the app is to use. I’m curious to see what this app develops into over time!

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry we couldn't provide you with the experience you hoped for, please send us more details on what we could improve on at support@yeple.co.uk

Needs some work

I can’t see the bottom row of dates on my iPhone. I can on the iPad but I hate using apps that can only be used in portrait orientation on an iPad. Also, I have three regular shifts, 7a-3p, 3p-11p and 11p-7a. I’ve added all three shifts but the color difference between each is minimal. They’re all slightly different shades of blue. I wish I could pick the color for the shift so it would be easy to identify at a glance, like red, green and blue.

HORRIBLE

This is a horrible and confusing app. After 30 min of trying to work with it I deleted it. The button don't work, and when you push save, it either doesn't work or it kept closing me out of the app. Horrible and do not waste the money

Great minimalistic app

I think it's great to keep track of my shifts for the week since they are irregular. I like the minimalistic style but there are some features that would make it much better.

Such as adding break time within the shift so that the wage showing is more accurate. Maybe an option for a pay period as well which just adds all the shift pays individually. Lastly an option to set location would be great.

Overall it does what I wanted and the UI is nice. It is always in night mode for some real though.

Not useful

I work a rotating schedule and I have to put each shift in because there is no way to make it reoccurring every x number of days. Also, the day/night color change didn't work. Very disappointed with this app.

It has potential

This app is pretty basic and bare bones; it has a lot of room to grow. It would be helpful if there was a saved library of positions/hourly wages for those of us with multiple employers so that I didn't have to type so much every time I entered a shift. I don't love this app yet, but I'm going to hang on to it in hopes improvements are made.
