Thank you very much for seeing it. This application is something to register more than one person's (at most 20 people) shift and do indication by a calendar and a list by cooperating with "MyShiftCalendar" and "MyShiftCalendarPlus". Therefore duties can't be edited, but there is no trouble of input because data can be received directly by "LINE" and a "e-mail". It can be exchanged even between this applications, so for example it's possible to send the data I got from the friend who has that to the different friend. Thank you.
