## Review summary

Users broadly praise 7shifts for being easy to use and valuable for scheduling, especially in restaurant settings, with strong Who’s Working features. However, repeated stability problems (crashes, not opening) and updates that remove or relocate key scheduling views degrade usability. Onboarding can be difficult for some, and a few note reliability issues like notifications. Overall, it’s a solid scheduling tool when it runs, but reliability and feature changes are the main pain points.

### Pros

- Easy to use / intuitive interface
- Strong scheduling features (Who’s Working, Overview, My Shifts)
- Helps teams coordinate and manage shifts effectively, especially in restaurants
- Positive user sentiment (love this app, exceptional, great)
- Generally reliable and useful when it runs

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or app not opening / stability issues
- Updates/deprecations that remove or move the Who’s Working chart/timeline, degrading usability
- Onboarding/setup can be challenging for some users
