I clicked the “vto” on Shyft app, but it keeps crashing. It didnt work after update. How can I fix it? Contact me asap! ### 3/5 — can’t see previous shifts anymore *2025-05-04, version 6.20.9* please add back the feature where you can see all your previous shifts on the app. ### 3/5 — Helpful but definitely in need of some improvement *2025-03-20, version 6.20.9* This is is incredible helpful for keeping up to date with the shifts being posted and available. However the privacy portion at the beginning when asking to sign in is incredibly buggy. I’m not sure how much the developers of Shyft can do about this, but if I sign into the app using the remember my password feature I expect it to remember me for at least a couple of hours. Recently when I sign in, the shifts don’t even load at all and it just shows nothing while I get the email shifts from my company saying I work that day. If there is anything possible that could be done so I can know when I have my shifts, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! ### 2/5 — New Log In Update Bugs *2025-03-08, version 6.20.9* The new update requires phone number and a code sent but I have a new phone number and have not had the chance or ability to change it on the app. I am completely unable to log in because i have no access to my old number. I have emailed the shyft support team twice with no response. I need to be able to change my number with the account and log in to my account. App was perfectly fine until this. ### 2/5 — App broke *2024-11-27, version 6.20.7* Your bug fix broke the app I guess. Team channel are disconnecting team members with no way of joining back ### 3/5 — helpful but needs improvement *2024-11-18, version 6.20.5* We have set schedules at our workplace, and having the ability to create and add a group of scheduled shifts to the calendar would significantly enhance this app’s usability. Additionally, the option to bulk-select and add these shifts to the shift marketplace would be extremely helpful. Having to enter each individual shift to the marketplace is incredibly tedious when you have a large group of them. i hope this is a feature that is being added soon. ### 4/5 — Open communication *2024-10-30, version 6.20.5* It’s a good way to help schedule enough employees, but sometimes it may lack the privacy of the employee’s situation as to the reason they may miss time from work. They do have the freedom to share the reason, but it should not be required to be shared. ### 2/5 — Tech glitch may be *2024-09-17, version 6.20.1* Very slow at times and notifications delayed ### 4/5 — Pretty easy to use *2024-06-23, version 6.19.12* I wish there was a way to see who likes or has read your post. If there is I can’t seem to figure it out so that part isn’t as user friendly. Also hate logging in every time and wish there was facial recognition. Otherwise it’s great! ### 2/5 — Notification *2024-06-02, version 6.19.11* It works great, until i change a new phone and it doesn’t send me notifications anymore, hope you can fix this, thank you. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2024-05-03, version 6.19.11* super helpful app, I just wish I didn’t have to re-login every few weeks ### 3/5 — Needs some friendly updates *2024-03-01, version 6.19.8* It would be nice to be able to like comments within a post not just the post. Video uploads even if a short one. Edit feature instead of having to delete an entire post to fix a misspelled word. ### 4/5 — Love the app but…. *2024-02-12, version 6.19.8* I love the app. It makes it easier to find open shifts and get shifts covered. However, I wish there was a way to delete multiple notifications/messages at the same time instead of having to delete each one individually. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-02-09, version 6.19.7* I don’t get any notifications or updates. I have contacted yalls support team before and they didn’t fix the app. I downloaded it around June and I haven’t gotten an update since and I’ve been missing out on important information from my bosses because of this. I’ve deleted the app and I’ve done a new login. Anything and nothing has changed at all. ### 4/5 — PROBLEMS UPDATING *2024-01-03, version 6.19.2* It doesn't update ### 3/5 — Just one thing that annoys me *2023-12-09, version 6.19.2* It’s so tiring to have to keep entering in my username and password especially since it was given to me and is a process to type, maybe there could be a way to include Apple’s password saving feature for mobile users. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-11-29, version 6.19.2* I had this a couple years ago and now it’s not working 👎🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do Not Get !!! *2026-06-22, version 6.20.14* It is 2026 , and everytime you click support ERRORRRR POPS UP !!! Is this even a real company ??? My employees are adding themselves to the schedule how is that possible without admin privileges??? And i can’t find a support e-mail to get help with this !!! ### 1/5 — Terrible app to handle your schedule *2025-09-10, version 6.20.13* Apps crashes a lot and there no instant customer service to provide help overall I believe companies should not use this app due to poor management of the service ### 1/5 — Dont waste your time *2025-07-06, version 6.20.12* So many bugs even trying to put a location to find available shifts near me. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-05-25, version 6.20.11* I can’t get the app to work on iPad but works on iPhone. Apple Support couldn’t figure out why and to try and contact customer support impossible. ### 1/5 — Won’t open on iPad *2025-05-18, version 6.20.11* No longer opens on my iPad. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t resolve the problem. ### 1/5 — Censored *2025-04-07, version 6.20.9* Will censor words the app deems inappropriate like the word tampon, even though that is not an inappropriate word. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch. No basic features available for free in other services *2025-03-20, version 6.20.9* Unfortunately, the expectations of the software were way over sold to me on a phone sales call. The scheduling system has almost no features in it. Hardly better than a piece of paper and pen. The app has some fancy UI, but beyond that the backend of the scheduling for management is atrocious the system. Is way too expensive for the features that it offers. Much better systems are offered for free i.e. homebase and are way more feature rich. ### 1/5 — What *2024-12-10, version 6.20.7* I can’t even use it im using the latest iPad and yet it wont load for me, i just load in wait an hour… nothing happens ### 1/5 — Location Feature Is Stupid *2024-05-02, version 6.19.11* Our company is not public and doesn’t show up on the location map so I can’t even get past creating a location. So dumb! Looks like a cool app but obviously won’t work for us. What a shame. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP *2024-04-06, version 6.19.10* ERR ERR ERR ERR ERR ERR ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — How do I see my employees availability *2026-08-06, version 6.20.14* How do I see my employees availability ### 5/5 — Great App for Work *2022-08-26, version 6.9.3* Honestly I really like this app. I wish that my past jobs had had this because it's so much easier to get a shift covered or know what days I'm scheduled really fast without having to read through a written schedule. Don't understand the bad reviews about the latest update, you just have to learn it really quick and get used to it. ### 5/5 — Love Shyft *2022-08-24, version 6.9.2* Shyft makes it super easy for my team to communicate and get their shifts covered. Love this app! Only thing I would change is give the team the option to see shifts posted at our neighboring stores. I know their is the regional channel but not everyone post to that. If my team saw shifts from our centers neighbor Gap and Athleta up the street they would take those shifts ### 5/5 — Great! Just wish…. *2021-10-16, version 6.1.9* I work as an employee at a retail store and this app makes it very easy to swap shifts or pick up a shift for someone. It’s also easy to communicate as a team or individually. It is a great reference place to see your work schedule for the upcoming week too; it fantastic truly! I only wish it would allow you to somehow add your scheduled shifts to your calendar automatically. At least for me, it would be awesome not to have to enter them manually. Just thought I would make that suggestion. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Crashes *2021-10-07, version 6.1.9* In the latest update it crashes any time I try to click on any messages or shifts Edit - really great response from the developer, was fixed right away!! ### 5/5 — New Update is HORRIBLE!! *2021-07-26, version 6.0.3* The new update is not user friendly and useless to my staff now. Please offer two apps and bring the old one back! You can not see new shift swaps that are being posted or photo schedule which we loved. Is there another app that is like the old version?? Need to find one ASAP ### 5/5 — Shyft in Supply Chain *2021-07-07, version 6.0.0* Been using Shyft across our distribution center network for a few years now and it has helped us immensely. The app has enabled us to save time that was spent doing manual tasks related to filling up last minute volume / labor changes. Easy to setup and manage, the team can analyze data through their dashboard. ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-02-09, version 5.2.38* Nice ### 5/5 — Stellar Way to Communicate *2021-01-25, version 5.2.38* Easy peasy! I don’t have to go through the hassle of trying to find someone to take a shift I can’t cover or chase down approval for someone who’s agreed to cover it for me. Everything is done right here on the app with everyone on the same page getting the same info. No confusion. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2020-01-28, version 5.2.23* Made my life so much easier, to give up on shift and also to get new ones. No bureaucracy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
