Shifty - Shift Worker Calendar for Android

I have tried lots of different time tracker apps this one comes closest to what I need it to. I wish it gave a total of hours worked when it calculates how much you should get paid. It would also be nice when I email my employer my hours at the end of the pay period, it would give them the total hours worked in the pay period.

I work 12 hour rotating shifts on a 28 day cycle so trying to add my schedule to my Google calendar can be time consuming. Shifty is by far the best app I have found to help this process thanks to working with the iOS calendar however it has significant issues forcing me to rely on a reliable app that unfortunately doesn’t work work with the iOS calendar. The tap to assign a shift is great however on the Android the calendar doesn’t display properly. For me Saturday is missing so I can’t assign shifts that fall on that day which is naturally an issue. Moving a month forward then back or using the app on an Mobile helps. On Android even doing this creates another issue because you can’t assign later dates because they are covered by the shift select and scrolling isn’t allowed. The sync option between my Android and Mobile create two separate calendars resulting in double entries on my calendar. This isn’t a major issue but it is annoying to see two scheduled events at the same time when really there is only one. This is especially annoying for days that are relatively busy. All of that being said the calendar display on the Android and the double entry due to sync on multiple devices needs to be corrected. Once that is done I would be more than happy to give a much higher review. I would also suggest a schedule cycle option for people that work consistent shift work. Allow an input of a cycle with a start/end date to mitigate the need to tap each shift manually.

I downloaded this app and it was okay. I had to manually put in all my shifts (I’m on a rotating nurses schedule), which was a pain. After I did it it worked for awhile until March when it suddenly started the calendar in April instead of March and there is no way possible to fix it. I paid for the full version of this app. Don’t bother wasting your money because I emailed the company, they are aware of this issue and it still isn’t fixed.

I’ve been using the app since November. It was listed as a ‘free’ app. Today I went to put in my new schedule and the only way I can continue to use it is if I ‘upgrade’. There was no mention of that when I selected this app to use. I have a different app for my daughters schedule and we’ve been using it for years and never once had to ‘upgrade to continue to use. I realize that $1.99 isn’t much but that doesn’t really made an app free.

First of all, I love the fact that I am able to put all my shifts in here, where it also keeps track of my pay. It makes it very convenient with how it syncs up to the calendar as well. The simplicity of the layout is very pleasant and makes things easy to use. There are some key features I would love to see in the future that I believe would improve this app greatly and spread its popularity. Some ideas are : - There should be a way to pick your paydays. For example, I get paid on the 25th for the days 1-15 and I get paid on the 10th for the days 16 - the end of the month. Currently the way the “paycheck” feature is set up doesn’t allow me to check this accurately. - With the “saved shifts” feature, there should be a way to also save the break within that shift - It would be nice to see more choices in colors for each saved shift. - Also, a time and a half or double time pay feature would be nice Like I said, this app is great and very user friendly. It has a lot of potential and I really hope developers take these ideas into consideration.
