## Description

Roster-Calendar is a productivity app that lets you build your work shift roster quickly by entering shift patterns into your calendar. Choose your shift type (morning, regular, late), tap days, and tailor times, colors, and names to fit your needs. You can create an entire shift pattern in under a minute with free editable templates.

Key features include single-tap to add or delete entries, double-tap to switch shifts, and notes on any calendar day. Optional extras cover ad-free use, PDF export, iCloud syncing, recurring shifts, backups, password protection, and more tools like overtime tracking or an audio recorder and camera app per day.

## Review summary

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)
