Shift Worker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Update has ruined it.Was a great app but the update yesterday has ruined it. Whereas it used to fit most of the phone screen now it’s shrunk to half of the screen, any writing is now very small and the colourful display is now just drab white. Been on to customer service ? Who state it was always this white, anyone not update and can screen shot the old layout to prove I’m not losing my mind? Suggest not wasting your money till there’s another update which corrects these awful changes..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Update pleaseI have used this app for many years and it has always been perfect up until the latest iOS 16 update where I have lost the ability to apply notes to shifts… every time I try the app just shuts down… please fix this guys… thanks… Please update so it works with the new iOS… this app is useless now!!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ App is crashingAre you going to fix this issue with the notes crashing the app??.Version: 1.6.2
✓ OK appThe most frustrating this is the fact that I cannot see my complete note. It’s easy to make mistakes or forget important commitments this way especially with shift work. This really needs to be fixed or I’ll be looking for a new app..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Could be betterIt does it’s job I guess but could be better My wife works shift work and I would like to see her schedule but it’s limited .... would be better if schedule could be shared or live updated between the users... for shift changes or days off Thanks.Version: 1.6.2
✓ It will lose your dataThis app has erased all of my data/ shifts/ notes everything ! I am so gutted . There is NO customer service . I do not recommend at all ..Version: 1.6.2
✓ NotesI wish I could tap on the date and see my WHOLE note! To actually see the whole note you have to go through the edit note mode to see the it then cancel the edit. If this change could be made it would make it easier for the user and there would be a lot more satisfied people and more purchases..Version: 1.6.2
✓ .Not shareable continuously with someone else..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Crashing!Latest update doesn’t let u add notes. keeps crashing!! fix it!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not so good anymoreIt was once a good app, I’m now looking for something better, it’s so annoying to have to go to edit to see my day, what is the point of that?.Version: 1.6.2
✓ App keeps crashingUpdated my phone to ios16 and now every time I try to write a note on a calendar day, the app crashes.Version: 1.6.2
✓ NotesI cant see my full notes anymore when i put something in. It just shows part of it and then … fix this. Show the full note.Version: 1.6.2
✓ OverlappingThe shifts are overlapping onto another day and you can really tell which day it's meant for. Also, You can only show one thing on that day. Need to work out some of these issues and could be better.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Needs multiple notes optionGreat app, love the customised icons for shifts however needs the ability to add more than one note per day as I have been trying to use this as my social calendar as well. Very difficult to write multiple appointments/meetings for a single day in one 'note'. Please and thank you!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Can’t share in the way suggestedI’ve just paid for and downloaded this in the hope I could see hubby’s shifts as and when he updates them as they get changed. But no, he still has to send them to me on WhatsApp. Why can’t users store shifts to the cloud and give permission for other users to see them??? This would mean I don’t have to keep asking him to send me his shifts, I could just see his updates automatically from the app on my phone. Waste of money..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Good but could improveGreat app for organizing work schedule and appointments. But very irritating that you can’t read the full note entered. You have to go into edit mode to read, despite the fact there is tons of room to display..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Shift workerThe app has stopped working properly! You can no longer add notes to your shifts. When you try to, the app just shuts down..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Needs reminders to be added for notes!Add reminder and push notifications.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Awesome app but missing two things.This app is awesome. It makes it so easy to sort out and know when my shifts are. The app is missing two things. Continuous Vertical scrolling and when the app updates it doesn't delete your current shifts added to the calendar. If these features could be included in the next update it'll be 5 stars all the way..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Pointless update. Less functional nowLast update dropped the ability to toggle between multiple calendars. So now I’ll have to find a different app to use if I want to have both my wife’s and my calendar on my phone. I used to like this app. Not so much now. If you can’t improve the app in an update, just leave it. Don’t update anything..Version: 1.6.2
✓ PIAThe app was fantastic but now has glitches that you cannot enter or edit notes. No response from the support.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Limited spaceI have been using this app for years, and I used to love it. Since 2019. I have all the appts the shifts I worked and at some point was very useful. Now it doesn’t work anymore. I can mark the days I’m busy but doesn’t allow me anymore to write on it. I don’t want to delete old information. I could do that so I could cont to add more but that’s not the idea. I have important info that I want to have there still. This is why I give it 3 starts. It would be great if they cont to improve like adding more space..Version: 1.6.2
✓ UsefulGood to see shifts at a glance....Version: 1.4.5
✓ Download failureLatest bug fixes caused my app to lock up on my iPone 4. As a shift worker this application holds all my appointments and schedules. This is devastating for me as for 24 hrs now my program will not complete the update. I'm completely lost and may need to delete this program and start again. If the vendor does not provide a fix within a few days I certainly will switch to a different app that will be more reliable. All potential purchasers be aware and warned as this app runs your life. Irreplaceable data can be lost..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Sync the other calendarI have the app for a long time. I liked till I noticed that I’m not able to sync the other calendar to it to have the holiday in it. The other thing that I don’t like is that I can’t have it on my Apple Watch..Version: 1.6.2
✓ No shifts to add alternate calendarsI created 2 additional calendars but cannot add icons. The icons are not available to use. There is no EDIT button on the top right corner of the app..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Shift work appGreat app, just need option to sync to iCloud and also have option to share on other apple devices.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Unable to editEvery time I hit edit to add a note it deletes me from the app. I cannot enter any notes.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not so flashFound this to be great until they asked me to up date and it just froze. Not impressed as this holds all my information from past shifts and all future shifts so I am not impressed and hope they fix it in the next few hours or I will not be recommended this app and think you should find an app that won't lose your information..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Love itLove this app. It should have more colours to choose coz I have lots of shifts to make it different from others like 0445, 0430, 0515, etc. Be careful guys sometimes you delete the app by accident so you have to do all over again. I don’t know what happened but this app had gone from my iPhone. I had to do it for the whole next two years and it’s not fun! This app should have had an automatic backup..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Love the app but....I've used this app for a few years now and I really love it, I just wish it would be comparable with Apple Watch. Can this be updated please???.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great, but...I really like this app but it is missing a crucial option for many a shift worker I'm sure. It needs to include the ability to add split shifts/two shifts on any given day or date; I would have thought this was blatantly obvious. That said, it works well, is easy to use and set up, looks good and is quite useful; if the developers were to add the option as per my feedback I would be singing it's praises and promoting this app to all and sundry. One last thing; to give feedback or to get support via the app it is via Facebook or Twitter; I will never be a part of either, both options woefully inadequate, hopefully they follow user reviews and take my suggestion under serious consideration, if so this app would be brilliant!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Not even optimised for the new iPhones??I have an iPhone XS and this is the first time I’ve downloaded an app that isn’t optimised for it. I never really pay for apps but I wanted this one because the reviews are decent and I was a calendar app where I can see my shifts easily. It looks crap, really confusing to use it could be a lot easier than it is. Why can’t we just click on a date and put in our shift?? Instead of having to go Into setting to write a shift then back on the calendar to do it. Would be good for people who only work the same hours but not great for me when my hours always change even by an hour or so. Really regret buying this app!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Transfer of dataDidn’t know I had to select to back up my calendar. My phone got damaged and when I put the app on my new phone none of my schedule transferred over..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Hard to usePossibly the hardest most complicated app I have ever used can’t get it to do basic functions.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Don’t update!!!App used to work fine but since the recent update it crashes if you try to add a note to a particular day. If someone could suggest a good alternative app. Thanks!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Notes display is terribleWhen I originally purchased this app it was amazing! I could easily allocate notes and personal reminders and of course, my rotating shifts! However, there’s been an “upgrade” at some point and now I can only see the first part of my notes — too bad if I have multiple things going on one day, I can’t read it all. Really cranky about this and unless it’s fixed, will be looking for another apt to use 😢.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Nice but no updates in 2 years?Needs a sync feature to be complete.Version: 1.5.4
✓ NotesPlease increase the size of the window for the notes when we want to see what is planned on that day..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Need an updateI love this app and it has made my scheduling so easy, but I really need to see an update on the notes section. You can’t see the whole thing, even though there is a HUGE portion of empty screen at the bottom. Super frustrating to not be able to utilize the whole screen & going into edit gets annoying..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Good On A Basic LevelI have been using this app for a while now and while it’s great for seeing my shifts at a glance, there are some improvements that could be made. I would love it if it would sync with iCal, so I could see everything in the one place. My partner is also a shift worker and it would be great if I could also add his shifts, so I can see what we are both doing at a glance..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Don’t like the new updateLove the app but the new update sucks. It won’t let you read more than one line in the notes section without having to go in and edit the notes. Dislike dislike dislike! Fix this technical support!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ NotesHi there, I use this all the time but am finding the “notes” to be disappointing. There should be an option to put more than one note on a date and even when I type in my multiple tasks on the one note, it doesn’t allow me to see them completely. Sarah.Version: 1.6.2
✓ PLZ fix this one problem!!I absolutely LOVE this app…BUT, I can no longer see/read the full notes that I have entered. I have to go into edit mode to see the full text. This is extremely frustrating!! I truly hope and wish that the IT staff at ShiftWorker will fix this problem!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Note dose not workingI am using this app for 4 yrs . It was good until 2022 and then it started not to working properly. I can’t write any note on booking shift. I have to know where I have to go for work and if my shifts are overlap since I am working different places . I sent message multiple time to them and no body care. No advice to buy this app.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Notes need fixingLove the app, but the latest update really messed with the notes function. I should be able to see what is written in the notes without having to use the edit function. Please fix this!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Good but missing major featureIt's probably telling that the developer hasn't bothered to update this app in 2 years. I'm guessing it's perhaps reached saturation and as he isn't making much money from it he can't be bothered supporting his existing customers? It works quite well, but lacks the ability to add a second shift pattern which is frustrating for couples that need to align their rotas. Perhaps he should add this feature, even make it an in app purchase as an upgrade if the app doesn't make a lot anymore.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Enjoy the app but one problemI really enjoy using this app. It’s simple and easy to use. However when creating long notes and clicking on the day that the note is added to it only shows the first two lines. So not very convenient to remember things when only 2 lines of the note are shown. This needs to be fixed then I can’t fault the app..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Notes don’t showI love this app but you can’t see the notes you put in for each day!! You have to edit in order to see the whole section..Version: 1.6.2
✓ AnnoyingWon’t let me import my spouses calendar or manually add a second calendar, which is the only reason I bought the app. Annoying and a waste of money..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not a lot of room for errorLove it when it works but if you mess up and add your scheduled rotation in incorrectly, you would have to painstakingly delete every shift. And if you had set it for a couple of years.... man that’s a major pain. I need to be able to mass delete shifts or entire rotations. As a whole, it is not entirely a user friendly app. I will come back and give a better review when my request is fixed..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Easy to use but lacking features.The app's basic functionality is absolutely sound. It makes it easy to create shift types and then add these onto the in-app calander. What I need this app to add is the option to export the calander infomation to my outlook or iOS stock calander. I would also rate the app higher if it could follow system light mode or dark mode settings as this only has a light mode..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Could easily be so much better!!I love how easy it is to see my different shifts in this calendar. It would be so mcuh better though if it was able to sync with iCal so I don't have to open 2 calendars to organise my life. Also being able to register it online so that if you have multiple devices it can sync between them rather than having to re-enter everything on each device would make it even better..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Extremely Frustrating!Been using this app since 2013 which had ALL my shifts on it up until January 2024… until installing the iOS 17 iPhone update last night. Huge mistake, as all my shift history has since disappeared! 😢 Before this I loved the app, used it several times a day and never had an issue with any previous iPhone updates, plus I’ve upgraded to at least 3-4 different iPhone models since 2013. Seeing as this seems to have happened to others, please can you sort this out!?.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Questionable updateThinner font harder to read AND can’t read full notes entered. Have to go into edit mode to see full text. Tried to get technical support but no response after a week!! Save your money or don’t do the update!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ NotesNever had a problem before but now every time I try to add a note the app shuts off completely..Version: 1.6.2
✓ GuttedAfter updating to ios 17 my whole calendar has disappeared. This includes all of my shifts and notes..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Room for improvementA pretty good app as far as rostering for shift workers but a lot of improvements could be made. The only way to add an activity/event/plan other than a shift is to make a note so it’s hard to see your life at a glance. Also I just backed up from my email version of my roster because I had to reset my phone, and now can’t make any adjustments to my roster without it reverting to the backed up version. Plz fix!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Notes not workingI’ve used this app for 4+ years now and suddenly I cannot add notes. It’s very frustrating because I use this app more than my own calendar on my phone. I’d love to see the app bug fixed. I’ve deleted the app, redownloaded it and still the same issue. So far, I love the app, but there’s room for improvement at this point..Version: 1.6.2
✓ It’s ok...It does the job fine. It’s ok. I used another shift app that just disappeared one day so was having to find one quickly to use. This was the best out of a bad bunch. Not the greatest to navigate. The one this that I don’t like above everything else is that you can only put small notes in on each day so if you have a lot of things on you can’t really add that to the one day.x.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Very disappointingI have had this App for a number of years now and it has worked perfectly up until recently when I upgraded to a new IPhone 15. I can now not add notes as when I start to type a note it goes back to the main screen. Please please please can you sort this out as without notes this app to me is little more than useless..Version: 1.6.2
✓ App update not working on iPhone 4SApp update working on iPad 2 but will not complete update download on iPhone 4S :( please fix this ASAP !.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Simple & Straightforward but VERY outdatedThis is a great app; it's simple to use and saves time from repeatedly entering times, etc but the app looks very outdated and should be updated for iOS 16. **of note, I previously reviewed this app when apple was on iOS 6, asking for an update. 10 iOS updates later and this app still looks the same..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Excellent app- but no native integrationReally very good app, can highly recommend for those that just need one app to take all control. Personally however I would love the ability to use this apps ease of input and have it then integrate into the native calendar app so other apps can then 'sync' with your shift pattern. Hope this will be in an update soon though, and when it is I will update my score! (Hint, hint!).Version: 1.5.4
✓ AssociationReally fab app. Apart from one issue I have found - I just cannot get it to send a file to my wife. We both have up to date iOS iPhone 6. Her phone just will not install it properly - association does not work and I cannot get the app to open an attachment that I have sent to her. 'Open With' just will not find the app. Tried reinstalling after iOS & app updates but to no avail. Waiting for the next version before giving up entirely..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Adding noteWhen I try to had notes the app go back to Home Screen and does not let me write a note..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Title.Not compatible with iOS 17.1. Hard to set up..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Needs updateApp keeps crashing on ios 16 needs an update.Version: 1.6.2
✓ You never even answered...UPDATE: not even an acknowledgement of the email or issue reported here. Be careful before you spend money on this app and think they will support you in resolving problems. Wrote you an email about the backup function not working on iPhone XR, even with latest iOS. Tapping the Email option in the Backup function does nothing!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Notes issue.I’ve been using the app for years as a nurse but just wish the notes section could be more visible when you press on that particular day?! It only brings up 1 line of writing? Anyone else have this problem? All in all a good app for shifts - would like an update with more colours!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Great in its simplicity but ...I really would like to sync with ical where I keep my schedule ... It drives me nuts having to double enter each shift!!! I know a lot of people have been asking for a while, but please, please, please allow this feature. I do love the simple interface of this calendar better than any other app, and being able to snapshot my month of shifts is great, but I'm going to be looking at other apps which allow iCal syncing. EDIT: I now use ShiftLife which allows syncing and also calculates my pay. Unfortunately, entering shifts is not as quick and easy but the ability to see my whole schedule together is invaluable..Version: 1.5.4
✓ My opinionI really like the app, but I would like to be able to have more than 1 note per day, for example … I can’t have a shift I am working, plus mark it as payday, and a meeting on the same day ..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Need 2nd shift on same day.This app is ok but need to give us the ability to schedule 2 shifts a day, and I wish was a little big the characters. I would give 5 stars but not yet waiting for an update..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great - but needs Adaptive User InterfacesI like the app however would like it a lot more if it looked good when it opened on my phone. I use the iPhone X and would like it to be full screen and utilising Apple Adaptive User Interfaces. The ability to export to an iCal file / calendar would also be good if it integrated but not 100% necessary as it works well stand alone..Version: 1.5.4
✓ NotificationI love this app. I’ve used it for years. I’m not sure why there is NO a option for notifications or alerts for appointments..Version: 1.6.2
✓ EmailI love this calendar BUT it lost my email and will NOT let me fix it and since I can find no other way to contact anyone I guess I have to make it as a review maybe someone at the app support will notice me. Please help..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Email feature not working.Great app, however the email feature to send the calendar file has stopped working. Both myself and my wife normally share calendar files for our shift rotations. With the e-mail button appearing to not work we are forced to manually create a calendar on each of our phones..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Nearly there!Please Please Please can you add a 'today' button!! If I'm looking ahead at shifts in the future it would be soooooo much easier to be able to push a 'today' button to take me straight back to the current day, thus saving me having to go into months, scroll to current month, select month, find current day, highlight current day...........you get my point!!!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Doesn’t workApp will not let me add in note colours as defaults to black and won’t let you change along side bar. Won’t save shifts added Into the calender as disappears when you scroll between months or doesn’t let you put it in in the first place..Version: 1.6.2
✓ OutdatedApp could do with an update. The app obviously hasn't yet been updated since the iPhone 5s cane out as the dpi hasn't been scaled to the iPhone 6. Whilst it's easy to use, the email function doesn't work with me, you can't do important things like a once off altered shift time, or one feature I loved from a previous app was the addition of you hourly rate, or the inclusion of break times within a shift..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Good buts missing a buttonIt is very good but it is missing a go back to now button. When planning stuff a year in advance you have to scroll back 12 mo this to get back to now. Needs to be one button to take you back to the current month. This has been requested by others before also. Not sure if they listen to the feedback?.Version: 1.5.4
✓ NOTES no longer workingI’ve used this APP for 10+ years and suddenly you can’t write notes - it boots you out!! If this is an IOS update issue, please UPDATE the APP!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Only for one userNice app with clear presentation and easy set up. Like many of my colleagues, I now use it as my main calendar app. This means it would be nice if more could be made of the notes feature - such as multiple notes, and a reminder function that can be set for notes. If it could do this, I think it would be perfect. Also, I would like to see an iPad version, with syncing between devices..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Use and flexibilityI have been using the app for few years and is good the only problem I have is that on the setting it does not let me enter my email for backup. I use it to input my employees vacation and notes also it should have a vac icon and holidays. Thanks.Version: 1.5.4
✓ No good for extra notes and planning.Notes option is no good. You can’t read all the notes that you have input unless you go in to edit the note..Version: 1.6.2
✓ MrJust need to have the app sync across devices..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Just a basic calendarCan'n use it for anything else, can't merge with my other calendars Once you've introduced smth in you can't change it, all needs deleting.Version: 1.5.1
