User Reviews

The iOS version is praised for being easy to use and good at showing schedules, sometimes preferred over the desktop site. Recurrent issues include calendar event duplication, the paid app model with fewer mobile features, limited message search/history, reliability problems after updates, and widget removal or restrictions. Users also want better multi-job support without constant logins and a dark mode.
Pros
  • Easy to use and navigate
  • Scheduling is good and convenient to quickly view shifts
  • Generally seen as a better option than the web/desktop for some users
  • Widgets offer quick schedule access (when available)
Cons
  • Calendar sync with Apple Calendar creates duplicate events/notifications
  • The app is paid and perceived as lacking features compared to the desktop version
  • Search/visibility of past messages is limited, making it hard to find old messages
  • Reliability issues after updates: lag, crashes, and frequent login prompts
  • Widgets can disappear or be restricted in updates (despite being valued)
  • Poor support for multiple jobs without separate logins (and related access issues)
