## Review summary

Users like the app for its simplicity and strong shift-scheduling customization, notes, and holiday features, plus responsive developer support. However, many reviews cite reliability problems after iOS updates (crashes, app disappearances, won't open), data loss (notes/shifts reset), and diminished 48/96 scheduling. Setup is often described as confusing, and several users feel the paid app doesn’t deliver expected value due to these recurring issues. Overall, positive feature-set is overshadowed by ongoing stability concerns.

### Pros

- Easy to use and understand for basic shift scheduling.
- Highly customizable shift rotations and calendar features (e.g., 24/7 or 48/96 options).
- Per-day notes and holiday/vacation support enhance planning.
- Long-time reliability for shift workers when working well.
- Developer responsiveness and ongoing updates to address issues.

### Cons

- Crashes or won’t open after iOS updates; compatibility problems persist.
- Data loss after updates (notes erased, shifts reset, colors reset in some cases).
- Limited or removed 48/96 scheduling options in updated versions; reduced customization for some users.
- Difficult to set up and not very intuitive, leading to confusion and wasted time.
- Paid app with reliability/value concerns due to recurring issues and perceived poor return on investment.
