User Reviews

Users praise Roster-Calendar for ease of use, flexibility with rotating shifts, and color-coding for quick planning. Per-day notes and multi-week scheduling are valued features. Common drawbacks include intrusive ads, data persistence issues (shifts/notes not saving or appearing after updates/navigation), and limited cross-device syncing (no iPad syncing). Occasional UI bugs and slow developer response are also noted. Overall, it’s a solid scheduling tool with strong customization, but its usefulness is hindered by performance glitches and support frictions.
Pros
  • Easy to use / intuitive interface with color coding for quick glance
  • Flexible for complex rotating shift patterns (e.g., 12-hour shifts, 4-on/4-off, on-call)
  • Strong notes support per day with color-coded locations and planning
  • Helpful for organizing weekly/monthly schedules and planning vacations/training
Cons
  • Intrusive ads that disrupt editing
  • Data persistence issues: shifts or notes not saving or disappearing after navigating away or after updates
  • Lacks cross-device syncing (no iPad syncing across devices)
  • Occasional UI bugs after updates (e.g., Life Glitch screen or non-working time-entry popups)

Great app, user friendly, Would recommend to everyone

I used this app for years to make a schedule for my team, and it worked sufficiently. However lately, the app no longer keeps the shifts entered once you move away from that page. Multiple times I tried the advice within the FAQ section, and it did not resolve the issue. So I contacted the developer a few weeks ago and have gotten no response. Please fix this ASAP! Incredibly disappointing.

This used to be a great app. The last update ruined it. I cannot see any of my notes at all. Tried using the help feature- nothing. Tried to report the problem and was unable to. Will be deleting and looking for a better application.
