ShiftLife Organizer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not great. IMy work shifts are being dropped at the most inopportune times. Then I have to fight to get things back. Now everything is gone and I haven’t been able to restore. This product is going downhill. Don’t waste your money.Version: 14.2
✓ Great but over pricedI love the App but it had gotten over priced in the last few years….I am considering switching to another App!!.Version: 14.9
✓ Great app! But…..The last update completely wiped out my entire schedule and all my activities!!!.Version: 14.9
✓ Apple watchCan’t see the events/shifts on the apple watch, can only see the reminders. The events or shift displaying on the watch doesn’t work if you choose calendar “on this phone” options. the watch interface doesn’t look like the app on the phone.Version: 13.2.1
✓ Terrible since upgradeThis used to be the best app - could easily add shifts and see at a glance what I was working. The upgrade wipe ALL my shifts off with no warning - I would never have upgraded if I knew, now I have to find and input all my shifts again. Not only that but the new version looks horrible and I haven't yet worked out how to customise shifts which was easy in the last version. So disappointed that my calendar is completely gone I will probably delete app and use something else..Version: 7.0
✓ Deletes your shifts/input eventsApp has deleted all of my shifts and events that I have input. No reason why, and I can’t find an answer in the faqs. I’m paying too much for this app to have it delete my shifts..Version: 16.0
✓ Great when you can get it to workThis app is good when you can get it to work. Sharing between users is difficult and it is very difficult to figure out how to make it all work smoothly. Also hard to get all functions to work on multiple devices..Version: 14.2
✓ Clunky and expensiveThere are better apps out there, this works well but not the best by comparison. Also expensive, requiring a yearly subscription, instead of a once bought set up..Version: 14.2
✓ Unable to useTried to update shift life but the update didn’t go through because it said a family member has already paid for the service but it still says it’s out of date Reset shiftlife still not working turned off and on my phone still doesn’t work I had sent all screen shots in to Ovalkey ltd which was no help I had followed their instructions which didn’t work and all they could suggest was to write a review- How is that going to allow me to use the app Frustrated user Paul.Version: 16.5
✓ Works great by itself - doesn’t integrate with iCal or calendlyWill cancel next year because my schedule is getting more complex than just shift work. I need a calendar that integrates - I’ve been billed for missed appointments because I sign up for the calendar at the massage/other practitioners website and it goes through to iCal, but NOT ShiftLife. Can’t use this as your main calendar unless your schedule is input entirely manually..Version: 16.3
✓ 3 Stars could be 5I have used all kinds of these type of apps to organize my days, from quite expensive to free. This app is currently the one I’m using but there is one thing that will make me revert back to Fantastical 2 and that is the constant delay on the Apple Watch complication feature. The developer (very responsive by the way) has promised this since January, my last correspondence with them was that the complication feature is complete but the are adding additional features as one big update and should be released in about 6 weeks, this was about 8 weeks ago, so waiting months and several broken promises I probably will only give them another week or so before reverting back. This would a shame since many friends also use this and love it but we also are disappointed with the lack of the complication, this could easily be a 5 star app.Version: 11.1
✓ Good Calendar but….I bought the app when it first came out 10 years ago. A few years later they decided to charge an extra 99 cents a year for the app I already bought. Now they charge $4.99 a year to use the app..Version: 16.0
✓ Why charge us EVERY yearI have been using this shift App for a fair few years now and although it’s a decent app and does what you’d expect of a shift organiser, I really don’t see how you can justify asking for us to pay for the use of the app every 12 months. When I originally started using this app, I payed for lifetime usage! You talk about ‘keep updates coming to improve the app’ but in reality, it’s changed very little and I must have had this for at least 7 or 8 years now. The real reason you don’t allow us to amend the shifts without paying again, is to make more money! I think it’s time to look elsewhere..Version: 12.1.2
✓ I have to pay to add my country holidays??Good app for organizing schedule but I have to pay to add my holidays from my own country? I don't want US holidays on my calendar. They don't apply to me..Version: 17.0
✓ Getting very expensiveI’m using this up around 7 years now and I’m really happy with it . I downloaded as a free version and I used it free for a few years. Then is started to charge me 99p for a new year one . Then 1.99£ , last year 2.99£ But for 2022 is trying to charge me 4.49£ what I think it’s starting to be a bit ridiculous..Version: 14.6
✓ DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!I bought a yearly subscription for the last 2 years. Last week my shifts and all events disappeared from my calendar! The app will not restore! The support email address is not valid, and I still have almost 2 months on my yearly subscription ! I am very upset as I am MOT getting what I paid for and there is no way to contact the company !! Gurrr.Version: 17.0.2
✓ Full version and payable essential DLCsI bought the shift life full version having full faith in that it’s a once off purchase and no further monies need to be spend. lol and behold, when trying to input shifts for next year, I was redirected to purchase the 2019 calendar for a small fee. That said fee was $4.99 which is approx 62% of the purchase price of the full version. So sad to say while I like the app, I find this sort of practice abhorrent and dishonest. If I am paying for a full version, that is it there should be no further costs involved..Version: 12.1.2
✓ Good, but needs updatingThe developers changed this app a few years ago to a subscription model where you need to pay a yearly fee to keep using the app. I wouldn’t mind so much if they used this money to keep developing it, but with only 4 updates in the last two years, it doesn’t seem particularly good value. I asked for one feature request: the ability to set up a fortnightly Roster that has two sign on times for one day, and it has fallen on deaf ears for 4 years. Now they have their hands out for another 12 month subscription, but I’m finding it hard to justify paying for updates when there aren’t any..Version: 11.1
✓ AmadousFantastic app as I’m not very technical took a while for me to get used to it but I think I’ve got it perfect now. I have 8 week rota in place covering every day of the week and different start times for me and a colleague. Brilliant totally brilliant! See it all as at a glance and colour coding makes it even better. Rota on pattern shows in forward years which is good too when needing to check advance. Shame you have to pay yearly as I don’t like paying for apps but this is so handy I carry on with it and not expensive anyway. Fantastic well done !! Been using this a few years now ….. Well I have now come to need next year to enter some invitation dates. Nope wants me to pay what seems to me a high price. Don’t know if that’s for one year only or future ones? How do you actually contact anyone to find out on this app? TIA.Version: 14.6
✓ Tells me I need to buy the app when I already haveI’ve used this app for years. Lately it won’t let me log new shifts/events in my calendar as it prompts me to purchase the app which I’ve already done. The instructions to restore it don’t work. Then it will randomly start working again until it doesn’t. I don’t have time to try and restore my purchase on the regular. Might be time to find a new calendar to use..Version: 15.1
✓ NOT WORTH ITI purchased the full app back in 2017-2018. Was amazing when I first got it. I upgraded and it worked great. But now they wanna charge me EVERY year for the new year calendar. They claim it’s a small charge. $6.99 cnd is NOT cheap. It cost me far less for the app and to go buy a calendar at the store. I will not be recommending this anymore and will be looking for something better for me and my family now..Version: 14.9
✓ MrsOMG- ur program erased my ENTIRE diary wen it updated!!!!.Version: 7.0
✓ DisappointedI have used this calendar exclusively for the past 10+ years. Every January I pay for another year, because it has been a consistently good calendar. This morning I opened the app to discover that all of my entries are gone; yesterday everything was available. Every last thing saved on the calendar is gone. The app tells me that it doesn’t have access to my calendar, and that the privacy settings need to be changed. Nothing has changed in my settings, and nothing that I do gives me access to my calendars. To say that I am disappointed is a huge understatement..Version: 17.0.2
✓ Bring back the easy access to shift detailsI liked this app but not fond of the change where the shift details are in another button and not easily visible. They were fine as they were before, not sure why it had to be changed. Just looks the same as the iOS calendar app view now!.Version: 16.9.2
✓ App is no longer any goodI have used this app for years and have been happy with it but after an email update it deleted all my events and I can no longer add any calendars other than the apple calendar. Support was no help as you can only reach them via email and they keep saying to do something my app won’t do. And the odd thing is a co worker uses the same app and they display completely differently and I can’t seem to start over with it. Not worth the money I paid. And super frustrating to have lost all my events..Version: 17.0
✓ Paid for the app and it no longer worksI’ve been paying for and using this app for the past 5 years. Never once complained about the price increase because the app has worked perfectly and has been much needed to help organize my busy life. Since the last upgrade I have not been able to use this app at all. I don’t know what bug or glitch has found it’s way in but it no longer allows me to add events without repurchasing or upgrading the full version. WHICH I ALREADY PAID FOR!!! I try and restore purchase or purchase again since apple won’t charge me twice and I get error messages. I am stuck with an app where I have maxed out the free version even though I paid for the full and I am unable to use. Now is where I will complain about the price. Customer support has finally responded but other than apologizing they have yet to fix my issue and I am unable to use the app I’ve paid for. An app this expensive should not have these issues.Version: 15.1
✓ Happiness to disappointmentI’ve been using this app for several years and have been happy with what it allows me to do. I’ve been happy to pay the £1.49 for access to the following years calendar, but I’ve gone to pay for 2022, and it’s jumped to £4.49. This seems quite an increase in price for a single year and has put me off. Currently looking for alternatives.Version: 14.6
✓ No servicesI was satisfied before the last update. Since the new versions, its not possible for me to add ant event..Version: 15.0
✓ Terrible appWhat a waste of money.Version: 14.9
✓ Bought a full version for 7.99Bought a full version on Dec 25,2019. Now it is asking me to give 3.99 to use the 2021 calendar.... what the heck is that. Otherwise, the app is amazing..Version: 13.3
✓ Used to love itI used to love this app, used it all the time for everything - work, kids, school, home, life! But now it’s deleting everything I enter from approximately 6 weeks prior to the current date! Can the developers PLEASE address this issue? I need to look back at things, often from a year or more ago! I have recently bought the full edition, seems to be from then?? If this can be rectified I’ll happily change my review. This is the only app where you can easily do it all. I want to keep using it! Please, please fix it.Version: 13.2
✓ Poor app lost my dataI bought full version of this app and have been paying annual fee for continuous use for few years. Now for no reason this app has messed up my data and my schedule. Not only future schedule but also past schedules are messed up. I did expect this after paying regularly. If my schedule is messed up I won't be paying any more. Bye bye ShiftLife.Version: 12.1.2
✓ Not impressed with the need to pay continuouslyFirst you need to pay $8 to use half the functions and now I find out you gotta pay $4 to update it every year?! What a joke! Most calendar apps are free but since this one seemed to have more options I figured id use it. Will not be recommending. $8 is expensive enough for an app. Edit: a copy and pasted response is not going to make me change my mind. I didnt notice any disclaimer stating its going to cost me $4/year ontop of initial pricey charge for an app. So if its there its not obvious and it makes it not fair imo..Version: 14.2
✓ Shift appI love this app use it all the time can see exactly what I need to do for the week especially where work concerned now I have noticed that the price of this app has now gone from £2.99 a year to £9.99 a year. Why such a big jump you are now taking advantage of everyone that likes this app. I have used this app for years due to such a high increase on price I will be looking for a new app at the end of my contract totally disappointed in the big jump in cost of using this app before price increase you would have had five stars now my opinion of this app and it’s developer has definitely changed my views you are just taking advantage of us all.Version: 16.5
✓ It’s ok but ....It’s ok but I wish I could put in my 2 week schedule for my shift and it would just repeat it for me for the rest of the year !! That’s what I thought it would do originally but that’s not how it works ! So if you don’t mind manually go in through the rest of your year to put your schedule and you can add all sorts of different things to you every day and it does keep track of everything for you and send reminders so it’s a pretty good app I just wish there was a little bit more.Version: 12.1.2
✓ Used to be goodIt’s a very handy app that I’ve been using to track my shifts for years. Unfortunately now they’re charging an annual fee which is just not worth it. Very disappointing..Version: 17.2
✓ Cheating customers?I purchased life-time using for this product. Then now this app is asking me to pay every year I use. What the hell?.Version: 15.1
✓ I gave up after longterm useHandy app, great formatting and ease of use. However, as a nurse I want to plot my future off duty and mark off planned holidays. Being charged for plotting future dates became a chore. What made me drop this app, is that my previous months of shifts and important dates are deleted without anyway of going back to check. Bye ShiftLife.Version: 12.1.2
✓ Great app but expensiveThe app is great but it’s a bit expensive for what you get in return. I can understand the annual fee but half of what it is would be reasonable. Every year I look for an alternative at renewal time.Version: 14.2
✓ Can’t restore previous purchaseBought the premium version , suppose to work with family sharing . When I download on my wife’s phone it prompts you to download premium version . Then I try to restore purchases with no luck . Loads for a bit then crashes . With no premium version ..Version: 13.3
✓ Needs a bug fixThis calendar has served me well for over 5 years and this is the first time I have experienced an issue. Needs a bug fix: if I have two events saved on one date and try to input a city into the location of one of them it shows up in the opposite event and not the one that I have entered it into.Version: 12.1.2
✓ Paid for the app keeps wanting me to pay againUse to like this app, won’t work now. When i try to add an event to my calendar, it says I need to pay. I’ve already bought the app and it keeps saying I need to buy the full version which I’ve already done. Restore previous purchase doesn’t work either..Version: 14.2
✓ Why pay yearly?Works ok, basic features. I don’t use all the features like my pay etc I am really frustrated by how much the yearly price keeps increasing. I mean how much does an update cost them? And I do t see any changes. At this price I may just as well go back to a paper day timer. I just Don't see any reason to keep paying annually. They say for updates but I say ridiculous. Others apps don’t charge like that. I may have to look at some other options. What was once under $3 is now over $7 with tax. And I think I was even overcharged yet I can’t find any place to contact anyone about it..Version: 14.9
✓ Shift lifeThe app it’s self is good and works well. I bought the full version and then tried to make a change only to find out I need to pay every year. It does not allow for family to share. The app is expensive to start with and then to pay every year on top is a bit much. Will not be using this app anymore..Version: 12.1.2
✓ Good app bad pricingReally love this app & have been using & paying for it for years. But now the pricing is just becoming ridiculous. Every year you’re upping the price with no added features. You need to stop being so greedy & get your pricing back to a reasonable amount or you’re going to start loosing customers..Version: 15.0
✓ Does the most of any similar app !I've gone through tonnes of shift apps and this gets as close to doing everything you would want. There is room for enhancements and by looking at other apps it's not hard to find what they could be..Version: 11.0
✓ I always loved my ShiftLife until nowI just paid for another year and the calandra is extremely slow and the public holidays for 2022 are no longer showing..Version: 14.9
✓ Great unless you need to change your patternI wish there was a way of contacting someone. I’ve spent hours trying to resolve this problem & am no further forward. I’ve gone through everything suggested in the FAQ but my old shift pattern is still shown in my calendar for forever!! Ive even tried deleting the app which I paid £5 for but it’s still there. I’m at a loss.... Update....you commented and told me to email you. I did on the 13th March. Still no response.Version: 13.3
