## Description

Simple Roster is an easy-to-use electronic rostering app designed for shift workers. It helps you ditch paper rosters by letting you view and manage your schedule on your phone, even without internet access. The app is intuitive—most users know how to use it within minutes and have their roster set up in under five.

With the Full Version, you can repeat a roster over a period, add notes to calendar dates, and sync the roster to your iOS calendar for seamless planning. It also lets you share rosters with friends and family and view others’ rosters to coordinate days off.
