Shift Day Work Calendar Reviews

This is the perfect shift calendar. Easy to use. I love the color coding. I can see my month at quick glance. It is easy to make changes as my shift often changes with the staffing needs of my job. The only problem I have with it is my need to share it with my wife. I know it shares but it is a static share. I need something that both my wife and I can have on our phones and make adjustments to in real time. I’m often unavailable to talk during a shift and my wife needs to add important appointments or plans to my shift calendar in real time for me to see. The ability to add this feature would be worth its weight in gold!!!! This feature would eliminate much miscommunication and frustration between us as we work to overcome scheduling conflicts. I can’t find a shift calendar that is great as yours that has the ability for more than one user. Please help and consider adding this feature. So worth any money charged for the feature.

This Shift calendar is hands down the simplest to navigate and use. Shifts, and shift rotations, are scheduled and altered in a breeze, and it is very convenient to be able to add notes to each date. It is also very practical that multiple shifts can be scheduled for each date. The problem is that the $4.99 upgrade is a bit much for these basic features; and nothing but a preview seems to be available without the upgrade. Other comparable apps, I.e. Pay Day, are available at 1/2 this price and offer more features... granted, I've not found one, as yet, that offers the ease of schedule editing by use of "drag and drop". ShiftDayWorkCalendar would surely be worth its price if it included pay calculations and a summary report.

Have used ShiftDayWorkCalendar for years. It literally holds my life. I am able to keep my work schedule straight and can always make plans on the spot with family and friends. I never have to pull out a confusing piece of paper with everyone’s schedule on it (that’s also printed in -12 font lol). The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t understand my rotation so I have to put the whole year’s schedule in manually. Luckily we do get our schedules in November for the following year so it’s not that bad for me. Takes about 15 minutes to line out my schedule for the whole year. If you work crazy schedule ShiftDayWorkCalendar is a MUST!

I had to switch from my old faithful calendar cause they quit updating to something new. Figure I would give this calendar a try. So far I do like it but I think I have the same complaints as everyone else. I wish I could put more then two appointments, jobs etc on one day. Some days are action packed and I use my little quick look calendar to keep me in check. Also maybe add more colors to choose from or be able to create your own color. And one more thing, it would be nice if there was an option where you didn't have to put a time frame down at all. I have a shift marked for dr appts, I have to write some time frame down on the Original set up. I'm not going to go back in each time and change the time frame when I can jus add the the correct appointment time in the notes section. But it does throw you off when you glance at it and it says dr. Appt 900. It's my first day playing with this so we shall see how it goes.

I LOVE ShiftDayWorkCalendar because I can add unlimited calendar events which works so well with my work schedule. My work hours vary with four different start times between 6-8am, so I have four different work events. I have an event for pay days, staff meetings, work classes, Dr/dentist appointments, vacation/PTO, etc. I have at least 20 different tabs to keep my life organized. The only reason I have ShiftDayWorkCalendar 4 stars is because I would LOVE to be able to merge it with my husbands so I don’t have to go into his app and add all my stuff and vice versa. You should be able to share it into someone else’s app so that it populates.

The only reason I couldn’t give ShiftDayWorkCalendar a 5-star rating is the inability to delete an existing rotation going forward. If I change crews, my schedule rotation changes completely, and I currently find myself having to completely erase the current rotation - future and historical. The “end date” on the rotation implies I should be able to specify/modify an end date and start with a new rotation going forward, but that isn’t the case.

I also wish there were the option to prevent Shift Days from syncing to my regular calendar: I get multiple alerts for shifts that are no longer valid that were transferred by previously programmed rotations. It’s really a pain to have to completely rebuild my calendar and all appointments because Shift Days creates alerts even when I don’t want it to.

I love ShiftDayWorkCalendar. It does all that I need it too. It is great with one execption/possible improvement. Like how you can only add two shifts at a time that you can see ' thats okay. BUT... What if you loved ShiftDayWorkCalendar for other organizational purposes. Such as ' appmts or child care. ShiftDayWorkCalendar would be AMAZING & I would DEFINITELY purchase again IF the option for more calendars for different things would be added. Like one for work ' one for school ' ect. Since we can only see two events at a time again it would be nice to have even more organization for " Mom " type things. But overall. I still love ShiftDayWorkCalendar. I would love it more if i could make multiple calendars ☺

I love ShiftDayWorkCalendar. It is so useful. I didn't think twice about paying for the full version. It is just what I wanted. I'm going to post about it on my Instagram. I like the many ways I can share it. And how easy it is to put plans in.
I wish that I could put more than two events on a day. Being able to prioritize the events when the day is clicked on would be nice.
I'd like a thing to check the days off once they are over. And if someone is covering my shift could there be a way to still have it on the calendar but crosses out or something. I want it on there but also be able to see it and know I don't have to do it. Also I want to be able to put school things in. Like due dates for assignments. Etc. maybe there could be an easier way to do that. Overall good app

This has really helped me get my schedule in check. I’ve worked many jobs at once along with school and frequent doctor’s appointments, and ShiftDayWorkCalendar can definitely handle fitting all of those things into one place!
Two things I would like to see after using ShiftDayWorkCalendar (with the paid memebership; it’s only $1.99 a month- which is well worth it on my opinion) are…

1. More color options to label your shifts. There’s already quite a few colors on there but I would like to see something more resembling a palette rather than the two dozen options they give you, many of which are just different shades of a base color (for example red is one color, but there are three other shades going from a dark orange to a burgundy).

2. The ability to pick which shifts display on your calendar instead of it defaulting to alphabetical order. In fact the ability to reorganize shifts in the menu from the pop out tab would be perfect. I hate that if I can only fit two shifts per calendar day, that ShiftDayWorkCalendar decides that the third is less important because it’s lower in alphabetical order and time.

Other than those two minor things, ShiftDayWorkCalendar is full of great features and definitely the best scheduling app I have ever used, and definitely the cheapest paid one that also has a free version (albeit with limited shifts). I will continue using this for the far foreseeable future as long as the service still remains available.

I work in a chemicals plant, and I work a 2-2-3 rapid rotation and I flip from days to nights and then back to days and so on and they are 12.5 hr shifts. ShiftDayWorkCalendar not only helps me keep track of my scheduled workdays but I can also keep track of appointments and make notes and reminders. I also set my work schedule on my calendar forever so I only had to fill out a two week work schedule and it just repeated it. Helps me keep track of my vacation days, birthdays, events, etc and you can use up to 2 color coded tabs per day.

I was sick n tired of using the calendar on iPhones bc it just wasn’t efficient for my nursing schedule. I work different shifts in different departments on an on- call basis, making it quite difficult to remember. I would have to write all my schedules on my white board at home and color coordinate it but couldn’t find a way to do it on my phone as I get updated scheduling frequently. Finally, I stumbled across ShiftDayWorkCalendar and this is what I been looking for!!!! Simple, yet efficient!!! Just how I like it. Enough said! I hardly buy apps and this is definitely well worth the $5!!!! GET IT NOW!!!!!

I run a helicopter crew fighting wildfires for the USDA Forest Service. ShiftDayWorkCalendar not only allows me to track my ever-changing schedule, but has the option for notes. With this feature I can differentiate job codes for each incident for cost tracking. I've also integrated PerDiem cost for each day. I've looked at over 10 scheduling apps and this has worked the most effectively.
With the 4.99 dollar upgrade I can now sinc up with multiple devises and utilize the Dropbox to enable the crew to compare realtime data to ensure accuracy when filing time and travel documents.
Thanks for a great user friendly app.

Love ShiftDayWorkCalendar! I’m a pharmacist with a 3 week rotating schedule and it’s so hard to remember which days I’m working each week. ShiftDayWorkCalendar makes it so easy to know when I’m working and I love the color coordination for opening/closing so I don’t even have to think about it! The only thing I don’t like it that for the free app- you can only have 1 open and 1 close shift time. And you can only go 1 month in advance, and can’t add in events or share it with your phone calendar like some other programs. But if you pay for ShiftDayWorkCalendar , you can do a lot more. It’s a great app, an some thankful I can use it for free with the basics. I use it as my primary scheduling app, bc it’s so simple and I can take a screenshot and send to friends!

I have been using ShiftDayWorkCalendar to organize my life for years. I am a nurse working at two different facilities and a mom. I love being able to have a different color for each facility for my work schedule, a color for activities my kids have to do, and literally a color for almost any other thing I need to do. (I bought the pro version so I can schedule wayyy out so my schedule if coded up thru next year. You can also type in memos so when I schedule an appointment I add details about the date on my calendar. I have recommended ShiftDayWorkCalendar to all of my friends and family as well and they love it

I work irregular shifts as a retail worker, and they can change right up until the day I am working. ShiftDayWorkCalendar not only makes it easy to set shifts and get reminders for them, but it allows you to color-code shifts to quickly tell the difference and set a specific reminder time for each shift. For example, my morning shifts are in yellow and orange and I get notified a couple hours ahead of time for plenty of notice to get up and get ready. My afternoon shifts are in green and blue and I give myself a thirty minute notification for travel time.
With a handy widget, you can see the next three days without even opening ShiftDayWorkCalendar , and I can always look back and compare my timesheets to my schedule to double-check everything.

As an ICU travel nurse working the night shift, I have a very busy schedule outside of my job. ShiftDayWorkCalendar is perfect for me because it allows me to input my own schedule using color categories. Additionally, it enables me to track my weekly paycheck, which has really helped me save money. Whether I need to keep track of my work hours, weekly earnings, or appointments, ShiftDayWorkCalendar provides the ability to do so with ease. My favorite feature about ShiftDayWorkCalendar is the versatile calendar widgets that display my upcoming weekly and monthly schedules without requiring me to open ShiftDayWorkCalendar . It’s also very user-friendly, which I find very important. I highly recommend ShiftDayWorkCalendar over Nurse Grid.

App is nearly perfect! Extremely easy to use, very neat and clean, simple layout and details.
Used free version for a while. Only allows you to view couple months in advance and 3 categories or "shifts" to add to the calendar.
Bought the Pro version for small price and completely worth it. Allows you to view many months in advance and I have yet to reach a limit on how many "shifts" I may add to my calendar. Notes may be added on any day to the calendar to specify details for that day if need be.
I'm an RN and use ShiftDayWorkCalendar for both my work schedule and my daily life scheduling.
I tried to think of something I would change or add to ShiftDayWorkCalendar and could not think of one. I would recommend ShiftDayWorkCalendar to all.

I work 12 hr nights and my schedules is not set in stone. It takes so much time to put my schedule into a regular calendar especially since I work one evening into the next morning. Enter shift days where I can add my N12, D8, E2 with the simple touch of a button I can add a whole month. This is invaluable to me for that reason alone. I have been using ShiftDayWorkCalendar since the start of the year and so far I would like to see the ability to sync it into your regular calendar possibly to avoid having to switch back and fourth to view different things other than that I have no other requests. I recommend ShiftDayWorkCalendar to my coworkers often. I’ve been using the free version however because ShiftDayWorkCalendar in and of itself is super basic.

I work a gradually rotating schedule, so my days are always shifting just enough that I struggle to keep track of my availability more than a couple weeks out. ShiftDayWorkCalendar is incredible for someone like me. It is super easy to use once you learn how to create and add shifts and has a nice, clean look. The free version was great and more than sufficient, but paying the $5 to upgrade to pro is more than worth it. I love being able to effortlessly add future shifts when I have downtime, or how easy it is to scroll a few months ahead and see if I have off for an event. I’ve tried a couple other apps but this one is my favorite. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone who does rotating shifts and days. If you like it and you’re on the fence about upgrading to pro, I would give it shot.

I'm a PA and work in 4 different hospitals several different shifts and it's so nice to be able to add them all and with a quick glance I can see where I'm going and at what time. I love the color coding. My only complaint is that memos aren't very prominent and I use these for my days off to add things like Hair cut appointments or personal training at the gym. But they aren't available at a glance like shifts are, you have to click on the day to see what memo you added. Either way I love it. I even send pics of my month so my husband knows when I'm working.
