## Review summary

Shiftbase Android app is praised for its simplicity, ease of use, and suitability for small businesses, with a clean design and organized features. However, multiple users report bugs and instability on Android, lack of important functionalities like calendar syncing and monthly views, and a cluttered user experience. Additionally, missing features such as dark mode and high cost make it less accessible. Overall, while the app offers core scheduling tools, it needs improvements in stability, features, and usability to meet user expectations.

### Pros

- Easy to use and manage, simple and phone friendly interface
- Good for small businesses, flexible and organized
- Easy to understand and find features quickly
- Great design and visually appealing layout

### Cons

- App is buggy especially on Android with issues like location bugs upon clocking in and connectivity problems
- Limited functionality on the app compared to the web version; missing features such as calendar synchronization and full monthly views
- Poor user experience with cluttered design and outdated or inconvenient features like datepicker and availability input
- No dark mode option available
- Too expensive for small businesses or users in developing countries
