"FingerGIS" is the first GIS application (Geographical Information System) for iPad, iPhone, iTouch. With "FingerGIS" You can draw (georeferencing): - 2D shapes such as sites, lands, roads or paths explorable by car, plane or on foot (in the city, in the countryside, on a hill, in the mountains, at sea, etc...) - 3D shapes such as multiple surfaces in space, air routes, etc... The generic 2D and 3D shapes can be drawn over the maps (2D and 3D) of the globe, visualized by "FingerGIS" on the screen (Google Maps or Apple Maps), like when You draw using a CAD application. You can query the maps and the geographical points (manually inserted or automatically recorded) in order to obtain lengths, distances between geographic points, measure of areas and perimeters, total length of a path (polyline), etc... "FingerGIS" provides several automatic recording mode and/or manual input windows to insert the geographical points of interest; You will be able to: - save the current positions as a new geopoint, during the exploration of a site (using the GPS to get your current location and pressing the "save current location" button to save your current position as a new geopoint) - enter manually new geographical points using the manual input window (with latitude, longitude, altitude, heading (it uses the device's internal compass), radius, description: these geopoint's data (such as latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, etc…) can be entered automatically by touching with a finger the desired position in the displayed maps (by touching the screen of the device) or manually typing the numerical values ​​/ text using the keyboard of the device) - save images together with geographic points (You can insert images taken with the camera in real time or stored in the photo album of the device and join the images with the geopoints) - save an infinite number of isolated geographical points and / or circular areas of known radius, etc... - automatically record sites, activating the "automatic recording" function and walking on the perimeter of the site to be recorded - draw each type of 2D and 3D objects over the maps of the globe, using multiple layers, as You would normally do with common CAD / GIS / SIT for personal computers. All geographic points inserted over the maps, with their descriptions, measurements and images can be saved in the archive of documents of "FingerGIS" and may be shared with other applications installed on Your device or with cloud systems such as Dropbox. "FingerGIS" is able to export the saved geographical points using: - .csv file format (native "FingerGIS" file format) - in the native file format of "FingerCAD" (You can draw your CAD projects over geographic maps or over the geo-referenced sites recorded by "FingerGIS") - in the native file format of "pathRecorder" (navigation system with automated indications to reach destinations, following paths recorded or drawn) - as an email attachment (.zip compressed file, containing all the recorded geopoints, the informations, data, images, etc...) With "FingerGIS" You will have a complete GIS application in your mobile device. Sharing documents (IN/OUT) with: - DROPBOX (remote storage systems, cloud) - Open In - iTunes File Sharing - email attachment - FingerCAD (HD , WS , PRO) (using "Open In" - 3D data export/sharing) - pathRecorder - come back (using "Open In") Using FingerCAD together with FingerGIS: You can export the recorded sites using a .DXF file format (compatible with the CAD applications for MAC or PC) or a .OBJ file format (compatible with the 3D modeling applications for MAC or PC) or .PDF file format. Documents archive: - an infinite number of documents can be saved in the FingerGIS documents archive Display: - Retina display supported App type: - UNIVERSAL APP (You pay the app only once and it runs on all the devices)

If you work shifts, your schedule is always on your mind. Shift4You keeps track of it for you: choose your pattern once and see your shift in widgets, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. PICK YOUR PATTERN, THE REST TAKES CARE OF ITSELF DuPont, Continental, Pitman (2-2-3), Panama (2-3-2), 12x36, 4/4, 3/3, 4/2, Mon–Fri and more — 12 ready-made patterns. Choose your team and start day, and your calendar fills in months ahead. Not on the list? Build your own: cycles from 1 to 56 days, up to 8 teams and your own shift types like on-call or training — or start from a template such as 24/48. KNOW WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today and the week. The time until your shift — and, once it starts, the time until it ends — counts down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Ask Siri: "Shift4You, what shift do I have today?" NEVER MISS A HOLIDAY OPPORTUNITY Public holidays for 50+ countries are on your calendar; in the US, Canada, Germany, the UK and more, pick your state or province to see only yours. Shift4You combines holidays with your days off and shows opportunities like "1 day of leave for 4 days off" — plan the one you like as annual leave in one tap. It also tracks your leave allowance and how much is left. OVERTIME & EARNINGS Your hours are already known from your shifts — you only enter the difference: “+1 hr”, “No break”. Shift4You applies your country’s rules — FLSA and California, every Canadian province, the NHS, Europe, the Gulf and 70+ more — to calculate overtime, night and holiday premiums and your estimated gross. It explains every day and lets you check your payslip. When a shift ends, add extra time straight from the notification. CHANGES IN ONE TAP Swapped a shift with a colleague? Open the day and pick the new shift. Add a note, mark leave — your pattern stays intact, and "Reset" undoes it whenever you like. SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM “Share My Pattern” in Settings turns your pattern into a QR code or link. Your coworker scans it with “Scan QR” and gets the same calendar in seconds — shift hours and team names included if you like. Pay and salary are never shared. REMINDERS ON TIME Get reminded as far ahead of your shift as you choose. Separate reminders for your notes, and a weekly summary before the new week begins. Shift Alarm rings before your shift even in silent mode and with a Focus on, full screen on the Lock Screen, with a separate lead time for each shift type. YOUR MONTH IN NUMBERS How many days you worked, which shift dominated, your longest streak — all on the Stats screen. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account needed. With iCloud, your calendar comes back even if you change phones or reinstall the app. You can also save a backup as a file. AND MORE • Team Schedule: see who works when. • The weather for your next shift, right on the shift card (Apple Weather). • Export your shifts to Apple Calendar, or share the month as an image. • First day of the week, time format and °C/°F follow your region. • High Contrast theme, VoiceOver and large text support. • On iPhone and iPad, in 10 languages.
