Shift holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Shift Work Calendar | Schedule's written reviews are positive against 77% of Shift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shift Work Calendar | Schedule ships an update fortnightly, Shift monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
