Review summary

CopCal offers valuable rotating shift scheduling (days on/off, day/night shifts) but reviews are dominated by reliability and maintenance problems, including disruptive ads, crashes/launch failures after iOS updates, and missing features like backups and calendar export.

Pros

Core scheduling features for rotating shifts with days-on/off.
Flexible for various shift patterns (e.g., 4-2, 5-2) and day/night differentiation.
Long-time users report it meets their scheduling needs after setup.

Cons

Intrusive, uncloseable ads that disrupt the calendar UI.
Frequent opening/crashing problems following iOS updates; app won’t open.
Lack of ongoing maintenance and updates; outdated website/instructions.
Bugs in input/editing (e.g., issues setting hours, first day only appearing, crashes).
No built-in backup/export or calendar sync (no iCal sync, reminders, etc.).

2023-03-15	su*****	Obviously none of the developers are checking the reviews because the uncloseable ads that take up the whole screen rendering the calendar unusable are still very prominent! Anyone have any comparable apps suggestions that do the same thing but with no ads (or at least ones without ads that render the app useless)?

2022-07-02	tr*****	Please fix the ad that pops up upon opening. There is no option to close the ad and you cannot access your schedule.

2022-06-20	MJ*****	They have an advertisement that pops up, and you cannot exit out of. This happens if you sit on their landing page too long, or tap too soon. Frustrating is an understatement. Find other streams of revenue for your app, like maybe a banner ad that’s open all the time while I’m in your app!

2020-11-25	Ho*****	This app worked well, hard to set up, that is until the newest IOS update. Now the app will not open and immediately force closes. Need an update to fix the issue.
