Hope to see an android version soon, we will soon be leaving apple products completely . ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2017-04-05, version 2.1* This app is great. Easy to set up and use. Great price with no monthly subscription. Thanks Shifty. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-03-13, version 2.1* Awesome tool complete work of art easy simple and life changing best money I've ever spent. ### 5/5 — Great features and a pleasure to use *2016-10-30, version 2.1* The title says it all really, this seems to combine a perfect fit between ease of use and a good feature set. It's great to use an app where the developer has utilised the benefits of a touch interface with an intuitive drag and drop operation. Two minor negatives, I use my iPad Pro almost exclusively in Landscape orientation with a Create keyboard so although I understand why the app is Portrait only I wish there was a Landscape option, and it would also be great to have an iPhone version. Still a 5 star app for me though! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-09-18, version 2.1* I first downloaded back in July, 2015 and I totally disliked it. And today a year and 2 months later I re-downloaded it and I realized how wrong I was. The problem is that it was hard to understand it and did not give it much time to study it. And today i did gave the time and oh man I like the app so much. ### 4/5 — NIGHT NURSE MANAGER *2016-06-21, version 2.1* The apps are great. Easy to use. Would like to see it available on iPhone though and sending shifts by email per staff. Also would like to send shifts reminder by text too. Star Rate 4.0 for me. It's been really helpful. Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Decent for me *2016-04-09, version 2.1* It's does exactly what I need. You can alter it, to adapt to the way you need it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-03-28, version 2.1* I have used this app for a year to schedule my employees. I wouldn't switch to anything else. Very easy to use and change schedules. I would like a way the save old schedules besides just saving my emails. ### 5/5 — Great inexpensive App! *2016-01-08, version 2.1* I own a Platos Closet and it works great for us! Easy to use- no monthly fees! Perfect for a small company or one trying to get started or one trying to stay profitable but cutting all unnecessary costs! ### 5/5 — Worth it *2015-11-11, version 2.1* New to using an app for a roster So much easier than xcell or word Really fun to use too ### 4/5 — Can be better Application *2015-10-24, version 2.1* It's a good application but needs to be improved. Some of the problems is lack of auto update especially the work days. It needs to synchronise with the right date and possibly time. Also the options under settings needs to be improved to accommodate a more interactive interface. ### 5/5 — Keeps the Team Together *2015-10-18, version 2.1* Great app for quick and easy scheduling. Love the fact it's easy to duplicate shifts from week to week. Can't get much simpler than drag and drop. Worth every cent. Keep up the great work ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-09-16, version 2.1* Great app,been using for a couple of years. Would give 5 stars but the visual monthly lay out is hard to do a quick read of. Love to have it on my Mac ???? ### 5/5 — Shift-tastic !!!! *2015-09-10, version 2.1* I am a new site manager at a busy vet hospital.Shifty has made my scheduling so much easier. Now the other site managers are looking to use Shifty too !!!! Thank you !!!! ### 4/5 — Shifty Pro Version *2015-09-02, version 2.1* Brilliant App - makes life so much easier with rostering. Ok so it may seem pricey but it's well worth the money as you'll see when you start using the pro version. The only negative I can come up with is that I can't view it on my iphone. I'd like to be able to see the same layout on the phone as the iPad without having to email myself the chart version. If this could be done I would give it a definite 5 stars. Well done Author! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No time clock, no landscape display *2018-10-02, version 2.1* No time clock, no landscape display!! Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Need help *2017-09-18, version 2.1* Been using this app over 3-4 years. Just bought new iPad can't import data in. ### 1/5 — It can use many improvements *2015-12-13, version 2.1* When an app cost $20 you expect more. This one almost gets a good grade... I own a small business and making schedules is always a chore. This app helps much but does need improvements. It would be great if the app could integrate the employee schedule into the the calendars that I have on my iPad. This would allow me to share the calendars with the employees and they would even be able to see their schedule on their own devices including their iwatch. This would eliminate the need to email schedules. The calendars would just sync and update on their devices. When it comes to emailing or sharing schedules: it would be nice to be able to convert the schedule to pdf and that way I can email or text it or print it all in the same format. When you print a monthly schedule it would be nice to be able to choose the range of weeks you want to print and to see a preview. It prints what ever range that is pre determined by the app and their is no print preview. It would be helpful for the monthly schedule to show the weekly total for each employee. That way they can easily and quickly see how many hours they work per week. And it would be visually helpful for the calendar to change colors on each row it prints or to put a darker square around each day. This would eliminate the confusion that all my employees complained about 'that it looks like the day of the month belongs to the day below it' (that one is hard to explain unless you look and the monthly schedule print out. The monthly schedule right now show a monthly total for hour. What good is that, since you can't predetermine what weeks you want on the monthly schedule, that total on the bottom right doesn't necessarily reflect the hours that will be paid out in that pay period. There are many good things with this app and if the authors decides to improve the app in the future I will change my rating. I tried asking the author about these things in an email three weeks ago but I got no response. ### 1/5 — Good concept poorly executed *2012-03-28, version 1.8* I tried faithfully to use Shifty to produce and distribute a 24 hour schedule for my business. After upgrading to the latest version of OS, I,lost all my data. I painstakingly re-entered the data and Shifty came up with an updated program. After downloading the update, the app quit working altogether! Don't waste your time with this one... Not ready for prime-time. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2011-10-17, version 1.7.1* The welcome screen will not go away. Pressing start dose nothing and leaves this application totally useless. I had the same problem with the lite version. I have contacted the support, but until this is fixed it is a pointless download for iPad ### 1/5 — Nice, but... *2011-07-29, version 1.6.1* I downloaded this because it was the only scheduling app I could find. It leaves a little to be desired. Needs a landscape view. Needs the ability to enter time off and unavailable times. Design is outdated looking. I didn't see the option to send the calendar or print it. Also, I do like that I can preset the hours but not for the shift. For instance, I used the groups to list the varying hours of my events, but I wish I could say that "Tammy" works 11-2 on Monday rather than it defaulting to having her for the whole day. I find the layout confusing, dated and difficult to navigate. Not at all intuitive. I am glad this exists but I expect much more from a ten dollar app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2011-03-02, version 1.5.2* Ever since I upgraded the app has ask me to review it then all I get is a blank screen ### 1/5 — Erbärmlich *2010-09-13, version 0* Es gehen exakt 4 duties,10 personen und bei den shifts kann man keine vernünftigen daten erfassen. Mieseste applikation die ich bisher gekauft habe. ### 2/5 — Shifty (paid version) *2014-11-29, version 2.0* The program is nice, but cannot print visual version of schedule on one page. The default settings should allow it to print on one page. Wish we could SMS the schedule to the staff. Good start to what could be a great app. ### 2/5 — Expensive. Unresponsive in its current state. *2013-10-29, version 2.0* Expensive. Has potential but lacks appropriate responsiveness in its current state. This is especially the case in repetitive mode when any attempt is made to create shifts that simply repeat week by week. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great program. Been using it for years. *2025-02-02, version 3.2* The new version has a couple of small glitches due to the iOS updates but the developer is responsive and working on patches. Even so, the best scheduling program I’ve ever used. Initial set up takes a few minutes but after that it’s very quick and easy. I have 33 staff, 11-19 positions, and I can complete a 1 week schedule and send it out to them all in about 15 - 20 minutes. ### 5/5 — Looks interesting *2023-06-05, version 3.0* As my team is growing, I needed a simple app to visualize shifts… your app was highly recommended by a fellow business owner. ### 5/5 — Genial *2019-01-17, version 2.1* Lo he adaptado a los turnos de trabajo del personal de una Área de Deportes y está funcionando muy aceptablemente ### 5/5 — 3rd review church scheduler *2018-12-29, version 2.1* I have been using shifty for a few years now. The app is great. If your looking to avoid monthly fees to schedule staff, this is it. You can email staff there own schedule to keep. Backup multiple schedules to keep for different locations if need be. Insert hourly wages. Avoid the incident of double booking staff. Create groups for each department. So on & so on. Hands down a must have for every scheduler wanting to avoid a monthly fee. =) ### 5/5 — Easy to use and understand *2018-12-06, version 2.1* Have looked at many programs and apps to help with scheduling. Have found this to be the easiest and most efficient method. Have used it in our retail shops for years, and now use it in a new business venture. Please keep it around- I dont want to learn another system...... ### 5/5 — Usefull app *2018-06-24, version 2.1* Very easy to use but wish to see more updates and improvements. ### 5/5 — Plus *2018-01-03, version 2.1* Bonjour j’aime vraiment cette application, mais comme notre entreprise prendre de expansion, j’aimerais savoir si vous allez augmenter ses capacités. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-11-05, version 2.1* Just what I need. Only wish it was available on the iPhone too. ### 5/5 — Super Time Saver *2017-09-27, version 2.1* Great program, just wish we could add text along with email! ### 5/5 — Please add a couple things *2017-05-16, version 2.1* Please update, this app is awesome but could use an iPhone app and iCloud sync between both.
