Apps Keeps Crashing

Calendar not aligned
I’ve been using this app for about 10 years but just now I see the calendar is not aligned.
For example: it shows November 3 as being a Saturday instead of a Friday.
I reinstalled the app, and paid for it, but it still shows the wrong day.
Please fix this and this app will be back at 5 stars.

Transfer of data
Didn’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.
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!

SEND HELP!
Developer needs to improve and bring this app to the modern age. iCloud backup, iPhone X, XR capability, new tiles, etc. Please update and stay modern!
Can’t figure it out
Very unfriendly app for me still don’t understand how it works waste of money
Can't add end date
Cannot select an end date when adding shift rotations to calendar making it useless. I wish the developers would listen to issues reported and correct them....!!!
Ticked
Perfect app up until today. Went to reset and cannot change end date. Please fix.
UGH
I used to love this app but now UGH! Will not let me set my rotation end date. Went on Facebook and it set to reset settings. Not only did that mess up my NEW phone but it erased stuff and did not solve the problem. No answer to my emails and questions left on Facebook either! Nice job!!
Well... App was great, but...
Since the new update I cannot update the "End Date" for adding a shift to the calendar which leaves it useless. It was fabulous. Not so much now because I cannot add shifts to my calendar unless I want them to end on the date I initiate them. Please fix!!
No longer my favorite app!
I do not like to new look! Why did it have to change. The colors are too bright and difficult to focus on one day at a time...where is the lines like a normal calendar has? Also adding new calendars was an awesome idea... one for work, one for play etc, but not when you can not add anything to them!!! The only cool change is the swiping from one month to the next. Seriously you were my favorite app and I had all of my friends download your app. I will search for a replacement and no longer recommend you unless you make changes that people want and are useful!
Loved to disappointed
I am super upset! I have used this app for almost 10yrs. I put everything in it. It is my daily schedule/planner. Suddenly I had 2 apps on my phone. Idk how that even happens. So I deleted one and it deleted both! 😭 everything past, present and future I had is gone! No way to bring it back! There should be a way to bring it back! It is going to take forever to put all my future stuff back in. I am just so disappointed because I reference back to days often and now I no longer can!
Frustrating
I’ve messaged the developers of the app, I’ve also messaged through apple customer service, nothing gets through. You cannot write a note/comment on a day without the app crashing immediately. I can add a shift no problem but when you click on note, then select a day to write a note on then click to enter text, the app immediately crashes. I’ve been using shift worker app for years. But this bug is beyond frustrating. And the fact that I’ve tried to reach out so many times with no help tells me the developers don’t care about the app anymore either. So I’ll move on to another one.
Incorrect calendar date!
The date is incorrect! 13/10/2019 is Sunday, not Monday!

Email
I 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.
2/5
The interface is rather outdated and there is no widget support
Useful but I need to know how my shifts relate to the rest of my life!!!
I love this app in managing my shifts for work. I'm a nurse who works 12hr night shifts and this makes it really easy to keep track of the days I work, days I have meetings/classes, and my vacation days. And I can easily share it with friends. I like that i can add notes for other events in my life (i.e. appointments, lunch dates, etc) but the notes are limiting. I need to know how my work shifts relate to the rest of my life... Notes don't show everything I've written on that note in the main view. For example if I have two events for one day under a note, one in the morn and one in the evening, it doesn't show it all. Please let us list more events under notes and in a easier organized way.
Only 1 shift a day
You can only place one event on each day. Not a good app if you have multiple shifts/events in one day. I do love the rotation manager.
Love the app but...
It would be great if I were able to add multiple notes to any particular date. Please make that available.
Needs a fix !
The app was working good but when I went to change my end date it won't let me . It used to be a simple click of a button . Something is not working now leaving my app useless !!
New layout looks terrible
The new layout looks terrible as compared to the prior layout ...
What were you thinking!
Use to be my favorite app. Should have focused on sync and backup changes or moving the forward and back arrows not glow in the dark coloring. Hard to detect day changes and awful to look at. No longer recommend. 2 stars for at least updating even if not for the better.
Child like format
I had this app for about 3 years and found it very useful. I really liked the format, it was professional. The new format or the way the calendar is displayed looks like it was designed by a 3 year old with a crayon! I wasn't given the option to keep the old format. I'm not very happy and may look for something better!
