### 5/5 — Most useful rostering and task app

*2025-02-23, version 9.2*

This is an amazing app. I can manage my busy schedule easily in a clear and clean interface. I can manage my tasks so easily and it’s so useful to roster the kids for chores around the house. 5 stars is not enough !

### 1/5 — App crashes…

*2024-04-22*

Every time I tried to set up a schedule. Deleted the app and redownloaded to see if that would help but it kept crashing at the same exact spot over and over until I just deleted it for good and went with another app.

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2023-04-25, version 6.0*

Total rubbish, this app is total rubbish, it did not work and charged me for ad free version that does not work on all devices. Constantly crushing and when I requested a refund, the developer refused to give me my money back. I will stay away from this app or any other apps by this developer

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-12-09, version 5.2.3*

Takes your details, as soon as you try to actually create a rota it tries to take money from your account? 
Avoid, you can’t even see if it’s worth buying , there’s no trial or anything to show you what your actually buying

### 5/5 — Great App for doctors

*2021-08-30, version 5.2.1*

We do 24 hr shifts and I was dreading having to make the Rota. Luckily I found this app and in a few clicks the Rota was done for this 6 month period. I shared a link and all the other doctors got the Rota. Even more amazing was when I changed a few off dates the Rota link automatically updated with the latest changes and there was no need to share the link again ! I also like that we can set reminders for our shifts ! Really good app

### 1/5 — Not free.

*2021-08-07, version 5.1*

As a retailer my rotas include weekends. These are billable so it’s an instant delete as it’s NOT FREE.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2021-03-25*

I have created my team schedule for 5 years with this App ! Colourful and simple. Such a time saver. Everyone should have this app ! I can’t believe it’s free

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-03-24, version 5.0*

Looks like a child made the app.

### 1/5 — App not fully functional

*2019-05-28*

This app is not functional

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-04-24, version 3.1*

Absolute rubbish. Doesn’t let you open the rota and eventually crashes from trying.

24/4/19 - Update in response from developer. It wasn’t a large rota it was just me and my daughter working out who was mucking our horse out for one week. We couldn’t even start to do the rota as kept crashing. Useless!
