Review summary

Shift Work Calendar is praised for its simple, intuitive scheduling and note/multi-schedule features, along with generally good support. However, reviews repeatedly cite the shift from a one-time purchase to a subscription, intrusive ads, data migration issues, and features gated behind the subscription, plus persistent upgrade reminders as the main drawbacks.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a clean interface for viewing and amending shifts.
  • Reliable, long-running app that's strong for shift scheduling.
  • Helpful, responsive customer support that resolves subscription issues.
  • Customizable features like notes and multiple schedules.
Cons
  • Transition from a one-time paid purchase to a subscription model, seen as price gouging.
  • Ads are intrusive and remain unless you subscribe.
  • Data/backup migration issues and data loss when changing devices or updating.
  • Important features (notes) and the ad-free option are now behind a subscription.
  • Ongoing subscription reminders after subscribing or long after changes.

I purchased MyShiftWork as a one-time purchase and have been a loyal user for years. I understand new customers may be placed on a subscription model, but existing customers who already paid should not be required to pay again. It is unfair to change the agreement after purchase. Please honour the original one-time licence for long-term users or provide a fair alternative that recognises the commitment and support we have given your app over the years.

I've used this for years. It was great at first, but the forced subscription that's now happening after people already paid for the ap is ridiculous. Having to pay twice for something is absurd. I'm finding something new.

I love this app, but I cannot restore my subscription and the ads are intolerable. I have reached out for assistance a few times and have tried all their suggestions with no success. going to look for a different app

After originally purchasing Pro on November 4th 2016, this app has now become pay subscription base trash. I was content with what I paid for. Now, to be forced to deal with ads and unwanted subscriptions is tragically the way app models have been going. To squeeze every last cent from the people while gathering all your data. It's a shame that original purchase is not enough anymore. You will own nothing and you will be happy...😪

Gett8ng constant hassle by ads.... I would pay to have ads removed but only option is 'Subscription'.... This should be a ONE TIME PAYMENT option... im.not subscribing to something like this when there are so many other options out there.. i like this app but it doesnt warrant a subscription just to remove ads........ Reaponse:::: Why the hell would i contact support ? this isnt a "support" issue... this is an "advertising" issue.... your app is too simple to warrant subscriptions !!!

Great App & great customer service, I've been using this app for about 10 years now & its easy to use, super useful to see what's what at a quick glance & easy to ammend when rotas change, I had an issue when it changed to a subscription service but I contacted the customer service team & a couple of emails later everything resolved & back to normal & using the app again, I highly recommend this app & company.
