Shift Worker is designed for people who need a quick and easy way to enter and view their shifts.

A traditional calendar is not always ideal for shift workers. Sometimes its not easy to see your upcoming shift schedule very clearly, especially if your shifts dont fall into the traditional working week. Shift Worker solves this problem and turns the frustrating task of entry into a quick and easy experience.

Shift Worker allows you to create your own types of shifts by combining visually-attractive icons with letters/numbers so that they can be easily identified at a glance. By including a range of icons (such as suns and stars for day and night shifts) in a variety of colors, any combination is possible for all types of shifts.

Entering shifts can be done quickly by simply selecting a type of shift and tapping on each date it occurs. An entire month of shifts could be entered in seconds, an entire year in a few minutes!

In addition, Shift Worker allows you create multiple calendars to see friends and family shifts! You can send your shifts to others so they can also see your shifts at a glance as an image or in their copy of Shift Worker. To make things even simpler, you can even save your shifts to your iPhone/iPods background so that referring to your upcoming shift schedule is as simple as picking up your iPhone/iPod.

Shift Worker also includes the ability to create colored personalized notes for each date. Notes can be used anytime additional information needs to be added to a date.

- Create a virtually unlimited amount of shift types

Pros and cons of Shift Worker app for iPhone and iPad

Shift Worker app good for

This app is a Shift Workers life saver! I work at one of the worlds biggest airports and would be lost without it as my shifts are chopped and screwed during the month. Been using it for a year now. Hands down, one of the most important apps on my Iphone.

perfect useful app worth my 5 star complete rating if wide screen use for iPad will be possible

Great app! Love the icons! Just wish there was an easy way to incorporate the rest of my life and appointments without having to make it a shift or note. Or if it had a second calendar to put the rest of your life.

Shift Worker is a great app! Use it faithfully. Would love to see an update that would allow multiple notes for the same date - perhaps that would show in a different corner of the date to reflect multiple events! That would make the App even better!

This is a great app that solves the headache every Shift Worker understands when they put there schedule into their iOS calender. Only draw back is, you loose the functionality of having your schedule in the iOS calender and the benefits of using the iOS calender are lost. I wish you could import your shifts into the iOS calender. That would make it the perfect app. But alas, I still use this app all the time.

I wish I could see the text of my notes as a banner on the day instead of having to click on it. Thats the only reason Im not giving it a 5⭐️ itd be nice to see my notes at a glance when looking at my monthly schedule.

Some bad moments

Good app but unable to record two icons on the same date without deleting one , not enough diversity with icons

I used to love this app, but its not available for iPad like the App Store says its is. Please update the app or fix the description in the App Store.

The icons are misaligned with the dates. Please provide a fix soon!

Zero Stars. Way too hard to use and very little in the way of instructions.

Im trying to make a schedule, but it doesnt seem to ever save it properly. Seems overly complicated at times.

I couldnt figure it out. I also work a 6on/3off rotation and couldnt find a way to put that in. Was hoping for an app that would allow that. Waste of my money.
