There's no more need to walk around with a shift schedule table. This single app lets you manage both your shift work and private schedules. SHIFTAR is committed to offering an easy-to-understand app that anybody can use with ease. There are absolutely no complicated actions. Using the app is intuitive for anyone, as easily as entering a schedule on a paper calendar with a pen. ■ Shift entry features Filling in shift information, item by item, into a calendar is a big job. Using SHIFTAR's shift entry features, you just touch the buttons labeled with early shift, late shift, day shift, night shift, and other shift schedule information. Just like that, you can fill in your calendar with shift schedule information as quickly as a whole month's shifts in just 30 seconds. ■ Salary calculation How much will you get on your next payday? How much salary have you earned through today? SHIFTAR will let you know. Knowing the amount of your next paycheck may let you increase your shifts, decrease your shifts to have fun, or determine your budget for presents. Your running total of salary through the current date is updated every day. Seeing the amount rise day by day may boost your motivation! ■ Sync iCloud Calendar Do you have schedules entered into other calendar apps?
